To Infinity and Beyond

Hello everybody! Happy Monday(not for me)! This is going to be a very stressful week for me. The only thing keeping me together is the thought that I'm going home next week for a whole month and Justin Bieber's album. 

Today, I did some Christmas shopping for my siblings(and maybe me). I can't exactly say where I went because my sister reads my blog, but all I know is that they are going to love their gifts. I may be broke now, but I had a great day. I finished my work in studio early so I left to go to the mall to gift shop. I got everything from one store(a favorite of mine) and I am really glad I went there because they were having a really good sale that I just could not pass up. The people at the store were really nice, and as I was leaving, one of the workers mom called me pretty. Now you know how happy that made me and I had an extra pep in my step after that. I was prepared to leave until some lady from a kiosk stopped me. They were selling some really cool nail kit for like $50. Usually, I just let them talk and do their demonstration, then tell them I'll be back in the future but I never am. But this time, she nicked me. I was actually persuaded to buy it...BUT I got it for a deal because she liked me and thought I was pretty! That's two compliments in 10 minutes. I didn't think my heart could take it. She was from Israel and had a cool accent. She was very pretty as well. I ended up buying the product even cheaper than their deal. I left that kiosk happier than when I got there. But it's not over yet. As I was making my way towards the exit of the mall, ANOTHER person called me pretty. My self esteem shot through the roof, and it usually doesn't get high very often. So moments like these make me really like myself. Now if only boys tell me I'm pretty.


So I guess you could say I had a pretty good day. I just had to tell somebody, so why not tell you all? Tomorrows post topic is going to be a bit more interesting than this one. I am going to talk about fashion and what kind of styles I like and do an outfit of the day. So look forward to that tomorrow. But for now, let's just focus on this...

Hello everyone! Since music is something that is in my everyday life, something I want to start doing is reviewing the albums of my favorite artists and basically saying how amazing it is. So todays review is on Justin Bieber's new album Purpose, track by track.

1. Mark My Words

I think this song is basically Justin telling someone that he is going to be the best he can be and he won't let them down. He wants them to trust his words and that he's going to prove that from here and out, everything will be true and real. This song is a really good segway into the rest of the album.

2. I'll Show You

I think this song is Justin Basically saying that no matter what position he is in, he is human. He says that people expect him to be perfect, but he makes mistakes and his feeling do get hurt. He's a real person with real feelings. But he's going to live his life the way he wants to no matter what anyone says.

3. What Do You Mean

I think this song is on a lot of peoples 'favorites' list. This is another song that makes me want to get up and dance. This is another song that I feel like people can relate to. We are very indecisive people and we say and do things we don't mean. I think Justin has got us all figured out. Truly an amazing beat.

4. Sorry

This is literally my number one favorite song on the album. The dance vibes and good beat is what makes this song so amazing. Every time I listen to it, no matter where I am, I will move to it. When I first heard this song, the only name that came to mind was 'Selena'. This song has Selena written all over it. I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else feel that way? But, regardless of who the song is about, this song is an absolute banger. Not to mention the music video is phenomenal. Each of these dancers are all part of different professional dance crews. Justin definitely made the right choice with them.

5. Love Yourself

This song is so shady, and I love it. He's talking about a girl who was wrong for him. She was not a good person and she altered his thoughts and what he did. She relied on his name to get her places. He was blind, but now he realizes his mistakes. But he says that she should love herself anyways if she really likes the way she is and looks because he wants nothing to do with her. At the same time, I could be completely wrong. When I first heard the song, it sounded like something Ed Sheeran would write. At one point in the song, during the chorus, I thought he was in the song. This song is so well written and the melody is beautiful.

6. Company

This song is so good. Listening to this song, I wouldn't mind being in Justin's company. I feel like the song is about 2 people who aren't in love, but they just need someone to be with so they aren't lonely. This chorus also has kind of a dance vibe to it. 

7. No Pressure (feat. Big Sean)

I think this song is about someone who has made a mistake with a girl and he wants her back, but he doesn't want to rush her. He just wants her to know that he still loves her and that he doesn't want anyone else but her. This song is very sweet and I think it's another version of an apology song. This is also another song that is very relatable to people who have been in relationships(unlike me).

8. No Sense (feat. Travi$ Scott)

This song has a nice, R&B style rhythm with a hint of pop. I like this song because it's the kind of smooth jam that makes you want to dance. This song is one of my personal favorites off the album. This song is very loving because he's basically saying that even though he's seen plenty of stars and beautiful people in the world, no one else matters but her. Nothing is the same if it doesn't involve her. How sweet can Justin be? Clearly, he's a charmer.  

9. The Feeling (feat. Halsey)

This song is something that a lot of people could relate to. It's basically about someone who "loves" someone, but they're not sure whether they actually love the person, or they just love the idea of being in love or they love the way it feels to be in love. Sometimes, the heart doesn't know what it wants, so it can be deceiving. I really like that Halsey is on the song because she has such a beautiful voice and she is absolutely gorgeous. Although I wish she would have had a verse by herself, the song is amazing nonetheless.

10. Life Is Worth Living

This is a very emotional song. It's so well written and it tugs at your heart strings and tear ducts. The song, in my opinion, is basically saying not to give up. Life has a lot of ups and downs, but no matter what, you have to push through. You shouldn't put yourself down because of something small you've done. We make mistakes and the only thing you can do is learn from it and move on. Your mistakes made you the person you are today. Just like the title, life is worth living.

11. Where Are U Now (feat. Skrillex & Diplo)

This song is one of Justin's first singles from his album. It's an amazing song and the vibes are incredible. Especially since Skrillex and Diplo took part on this song, I just knew it would be amazing. The music video of this song has a lot of mixed reviews, but I really like it and the idea behind it. Fans and just random people had the opportunity to make art that was going to be featured in the video. Obviously, there were going to be a lot of people who would take advantage of this situation and deface and defile the picture, but nonetheless, it was art and everything was included.

12. Children

This song really shows Justin's selfless, caring side. He cares for the world and the people in it and he wants to help them. He wants to get across that he needs everyone's help to help him change the world and make a difference in peoples lives. 

13. Purpose

This song is one of the most beautiful songs on this album. I'm not going to lie, this song made me kind of emotional. When I listen to this song, I feel like he's talking about his friends, family, and fans. They stuck with him through everything and they will do anything for him and that's something that drives him. They give him a purpose to do what he's doing and be the very best he can be. His little speech at the end is what got me. It's so inspiring and emotional. This song is an absolute 10/10.

14. Been You

This song is absolutely amazing, of course. It has a fast paced, pop beat to it. I feel that its about a person who likes someone but they didn't have the courage to tell them and when the person found out, it was too late.

15. Get Used To It

I feel like this song is about a newfound relationship and he just wants her to get used to being loved. He'll spoil and love her till the end of time and he wants her to be ready for it. Songs like this makes me wonder what Justin is like is a serious relationship...Personally, and not what we see on cameras.

16. We Are (feat. Nas)

I really like this song because it's a mixture of hip hop and pop. I think song is about a relationship that has its doubts but he reassures her that everything is okay and that he doesn't want to lose what they have. They are there for each other and no one else can take that away from them. I really like Nas's verse because it's just so real. Absolute 10/10.

17. Trust

This song is basically about two people needing to put their trust in each other. He doesn't want their love to go to waste, so he wants to put his all in the relationship and love with all he's got. Listen to your heart because it never lies. Follow your heart and happiness will find its way to you.

18. All In It

I feel like Justin is purposely trying to make us all emotional. I think this song is saying that no matter what you do, make sure you put everything you've got in it. Love what you do and put your whole heart in it. The end of the song is a really emotional speech. Justin says that he feels like he's not enough sometimes and that he doesn't get the recognition that he wants. But he knows that God is like perfection. So everything he does, he gets his recognition from him and he gives God recognition for giving him the life he has.

As you can tell, I didn't review the acoustic version of What Do You Mean because I mean, what's the point? We all know he has the voice of an angel and I love the song, so I didn't think I had to point that out. His acoustics are always absolutely amazing.

Overall, every song on this album is so meaningful. I can almost feel the emotions pouring through each song, and it is truly amazing. If you are ever lost for words and don't know what to say to your partner, this album has a song for every occasion. I would 10/10 recommend this album to anyone who is looking for a good listen.

*disclaimer: I just wanted to point out that everything I have said is purely my opinion. Don't come for me lol love you all <3

Hello my lovelies! Now I know what you are all saying: "OMG Cheyenne! Where have you been? I've missed you!" And the answer to that is: I've just been everywhere. I've been taking care of myself and dealing with things I needed to do. I have officially graduated from high school and now I am on the path to college. If you've been with me from the beginning, you'd that I've been waiting for this moment since I entered high school. The Freedom, the parties, new friends, and an exciting 4 year journey. Sure, college is hard work and you have to work hard to pass. But I am ready for the challenge. Sometimes I like to push myself and others to do good for themselves. 

Sometimes I do have that nagging worry in the back of mind as to whether I'm going to do good in college and have decent grades and just get through successfully. But then I run through my mind that God won't give me anything I can't handle. If I've made this far in my life, I can make it even further.

 I can happily say that I am not going to be going on this long journey alone. In a short period of time, I have made 2 amazing friends and I can honestly say that I already love them to death. I feel like this friendship was a God-made friendship because we fit so perfectly together. One of the many things that we bond over is travel. As you know, my love for travel is eternal. After my month long embark around Europe, traveling and seeing new territories has always held a place in my heart, and now I have two beautiful people to share my love for travel with. Going to college won't be so bad and nerve wracking after all. 

By the time some of you read this(depending on where you are), I will be on the road to my future. The university is holding a student orientation(duh) and I cannot tell you how excited I am for it. I have been waiting for this day ever since I signed up for it(eager, I know). 

For those of you who are now seniors in high school, I have a little advice for you: Opportunity is knocking. Whether you know where you want to go for college or you don't know at all, whatever decision you make will be a good one. And hey, if it's not, you can learn from it. I can honestly say that I am actually thankful that I didn't get accepted to The University of Tennessee. If I did, I wouldn't have met the amazing people I've met. So I just want to give thanks to God. Yes, I was very upset that I hadn't gotten into UTK at first. But really, it was just God saying that he had bigger and better things planned for me, and he was right. I bet UTK is looking at me now like 'Man, I wish we accepted her. She's so cool'. But it's too late now *insert laughter here* #woopigsooie

Lastly, I just want to thank all you readers for going on this(very staggered)journey with me and staying with me even though I don't update as often. And I recommend you follow my amazingly beautiful friends on their blogs. They are just starting out but I can honestly say that they are absolutely amazing writers!

Opportunity Knocks

by: Michael D. Nalley

Opportunities often knock at our door
Those we have to choose to accept or ignore
It is sometimes a shame we don't unlock
The door even when we hear the knock

Opportunity may be a road full of rocks 
Life is a journey filled with hard knocks
One road may be right, the other wrong
One road may be short, the other long

Many times we wish we could turn back the clock
To a time that we heard a good opportunity knock
It has been said time and tide wait for no man
For goodness sake we must come up with a plan

The world is a diverse place of cold reality, and warm romance
Where the merciful Lord often offers more than one chance
The wise will learn from the hard knocks to avoid the dangerous rocks
Time will tell who has fell and got back up when opportunity knocks

Happy Wednesday, my little fairies! We finally made it to the middle of the week. If you've made it this far, you can make it the rest of the week. I hope you all are having a fantastic week so far!

Has anything interesting happened to you this week? Has someone professed their love for you? Did you dive into a pit of snakes? If so, you go Glenn Coco! Today is a special day...It is #wcw day! So todays lovely contestant is *drum roll please* the beautiful Shailene Woodley!


She is the most original, kind-hearted, light spirited and beautiful person I have ever known. She cherishes her friendships and the relationships she has with her friends are very beautiful.


Whenever I watch interviews of her online, whether it's with Theo, Miles, Ansel, or just herself, I find myself smiling  along with her because she's just so....I don't even know a good word that describes how amazing she is.

Never Be Alone by Shawn Mendes


I hope you have a wonderful day. Keep on shining and don't forget to smile:)

Hello everyone! Are you enjoying your week so far? I am currently in South Carolina visiting family. Today was actually a very special day. My aunt got married today and I had the privilege to follow her around all day and photograph the day away. I personally think having your wedding on New Years is awesome. Every new year you can have a blastingly awesome honeymoon celebrating your marriage AND the new year. How epic is that? I hope my wedding day is on a cool day, like St. Patrick's Day...that was a joke btw lol. After the wedding, we had this huge wedding after party. I tried a sip of champagne for the first time and I don't like it. The aftertaste is like dirt lol Everyone was getting there picture taken, all model like and whatnot. I'm not gunna lie, I looked dapper af and I shamelessly took more than enough selfies of myself all night. I will now take you through my day with a series of pictures :)

Happy #wcw everyone. Todays women crush wednesday is Cara Delevingne. She is most known for her modeling and her spectacular eyebrows. This beautiful Brit is awesomely funny too :)

As you know(or may not know), when I was in Europe, I was boy lurking. My friend Kayley came up with it. She would secretly take pictures of really attractive guys and try not to get caught. So I thought 'Why not make this a double duty job?' Wherever we went, I would pretend to be looking at something on my phone or faking a selfie. When in reality, I would be snapping away on the European hottie that walked my way. I have failed the 'secretly taking pictures' thing many times. Most of the guys either caught me or posed for the picture. At least that's what it looked like. Maybe they're just natural posers. Am I crazy for doing this? Yes. I just couldn't help myself. But lets just throw crazy out the window for a second. So without further ado, lets check out the Bae Watch Community...
