To Infinity and Beyond

Hello everybody! The moment we've all been waiting for...ITS FINALLY DECEMBER! It's time to bring out your peppermint hot cocoa and Christmas records. 

I have been waiting for December ever since last December. Christmas is easily my favorite holiday. The decorating, the gingerbread houses, the gift wrapping. Everything about this holiday is amazing.

Last month, I made a promise to myself that I will post more often. So for the first 25 days of December (hence the title), I'm going to make it a goal to post every day until Christmas Day. Now obviously, if you've stuck with this blog for a while, you'll know that I actually tried to do this last year in November. But of course I miserably failed. But I really want to do this and I just know you all want to read it as well :)

For a while now, I've always wanted to purchase an advent calendar. So I think revealing the little goodies each day will be quite exciting. Unfortunately, my calendar doesn't come in until tomorrow. So expect a 2 for 1 tomorrow prize reveal. This month is going to be filled with greatness, so I hope you all stay tuned!

Christmas Song of the Day

Jingle Bell Rock

This album is one of my go-to Christmas albums. The first is the Winnie the Pooh Christmas album...#NoShame

Now it's time to start the Christmas countdown...

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say. He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

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

c'est la vie

Hello everybody! Do you know that feeling you get when it's the day before break and you're just so excited that you could just burst? That's how I'm feeling right now. I am on the greyhound bus on my way home to Houston and I am bursting at the seams. I haven't seen my family ever since they dropped me off in Fayetteville in August. What's also very exciting is that I've never been to Texas so that makes this trip even more awesome.

c'est la vie

It is indeed Wednesday again, and it's a special Wednesday too. I'm going to rant about some twitter drama (dun dun duuun).

So, I'm just scrolling through twitter having a grand ole time when this twitter account called @exp0singmagcon comes through. So I'm like 'oh snap. I'm about to find some juicy stuff on here'. And let me tell you, juicy cannot even describe what I found. Basically, this account has all types of  dirt on most the Magcon and Omaha Squad. Reading through some of that stuff could change a persons perspective. So there was this girl beefing on the account saying that she had some stuff on Sammy Wilk. Little miss twitter queen was lucky enough to have Sam add her back on snapchat and apparently after maybe a day or two of snapchat interactions between them, he effed up(you can see her post here). 

So she goes to the owners of @exp0singmagcon and spills everything. She sends in screenshots of his snaps to her and basically puts him on blast. It's like all these girls who get to personally interact with the boys want to give them a bad name and set them up for failure. Now at the same time, Sammy sets himself up for failure. He lets these girls get close to him and even when they rat him out for his slaggish ways, he goes through this whole routine over again. The image that everyone has about him is that he is basically one of the biggest whores(excuse me)they know. He messes with all these(underaged)girls and screws every single one of them over. Sounds like someone's a little thirsty for some female attention.

When is he going to learn? Apparently not anytime soon because there was ANOTHER girl on twitter trying to rat him out(here's the link to the tweet). These people are going to destroy him. A day later after that whole twitter beef, Sam and that first girl had a little quarrel. Sam was saying how he could basically have any girl he wanted and didn't need them fu fu lame girls on snapchat.

Then the girl comes along and was like 'oh so our snapchats were all fake?'

She basically trapped him in a corner because his reply was like 'I didn't say we didn't snap each other'.


I'm over here like if you drama starters don't go sit your butts down somewhere...Now don't get me wrong, I'm saying all this stuff about Sam but I love that boy to death. But my literal one true love is that lovely boy called Nate Maloley. He is literally one of the most amazing people I've seen. And he's not too bad on the eyes either ;) I follow him and his family on twitter. I've been trying to get Nate to notice me for the longest time but nothing ever works. His mom and dad have noticed me though. I put a few good words in from time to time about how proud I am of the Maloley boys and that I love them. Even their dogs account noticed and followed me! But when I think about it, who exactly runs Kobe's account? I doubt it's either of his parents. But whoever it is, is the real MVP. But imagine if Nate actually ran the account so he can take a break from his big account. I would die internally with excitement, but that's not likely to happen though. I'm still curious though. If any of you have any insight as to who runs Kobe's account, holler at a sister XD

Now before all you Omaha Squad and Magcon fans go on a rampage to try to find out who these people are, don't waste your time. In due time, they will be deactivating their account and revealing themselves. Whoever is running the account better have about 5 bodyguards because once they come out, they are screwed. I would not want to be them in this situation. Now here are my thoughts on the account: I feel that the only reason they started this account was to start drama and ruin peoples lives. They put all the boys personal information out there and people share their experiences with this account to give the boys a bad name and get there little 5 seconds of fame for being able to get close to the boys. But hey, that's their life and I can't tell them to do anything different. All I'm saying is that karma is (insert word here).


Now that that's out of the way, here is my Top 5 music playlist must-haves:

Like That by Jack and Jack feat. Skate
Built For This by Becky G
Let's Get Lost by G-Eazy feat. Devon Baldwin
Never Be Alone by Shawn Mendes
Sex by The 1975

Thank you for sitting through this rant with me, my little chocolate chips. I hope you had a great day and enjoy the rest of your week <3

C'est la Vie

Recently, I've been doing a lot of sewing and mending clothes. My aunt gave mom 2 extra large garbage bags full of old clothes from her and her friend. I was a little peeved that I wasn't able to get any of those clothes. I mean, usually I'm the one that gets to have my aunts old clothes. But my mom came through and she separated the clothes and gave me a considerately large pile. But once I actually started sifting through the clothes, most of that stuff was dead ugly. Dresses from the early 2000's that no one wheres anymore, except for babies, large pants, and oversized sweats. I looked at her and I said '....why are you giving me all the ugly stuff?' She was like 'cuz I know you can make them into something fashionable.' That put a little boost in my sewing confidence. Even if she saw potential, I was still upset she barely gave me anything I could actually wear as is. She just had to give herself all the cute dresses, crop tops & skinny jeans.


She had 3 of the same of shirt, yet she wouldn't give me one of them. Like what are you going to lose? You have two more...I just don't understand her sometimes, but hey. That's what you get when you have amazing sewing skills lol

So I just listened to my queens song "XIAT" and I loooove it. As always Trevor Moran slays. He is one of the members of O2L and honestly one of my faves.
