Yayy!(One Lovely Blog Award and other stuff)

I know, I know, where the heck have I been, right?? Well... as you know, I go to school, and sadly, that has been taking up a lot of time, where I would have blogged instead. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be able to find a way to fit blogging, REGULARLY, back into my life. The other reason I haven't been blogging is because I did the dumb thing, of saying what my next post would be. So even when I could have been posting other stuff, I felt obligated to wait until I had that post ready. Luckily, I have finally given up that feeling of obligation. . .

Now, moving on to important stuff:

1) Today's post is not my first week of school outfit round-up post that I promised(it's still coming-by the end of this week- but just not today)

2) I received the One Lovely Blog award from my "blogger buddy", as I like to call her :) , or as you all might know her, the blogger behind The Girl With The Notepad. I'm sooo happy and thankful to receive this award, and that will, be the focus of this post.

and lastly: 3) this is my 50th post!!! I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's a small step towards the right direction! I hope to continue and reach many, many more 50 marks on this blog!! :)

Moving on:

One Lovely Blog Award

Again, I just like to say thanks to Emily (from The Girl With The Notepad) for nominating me, I'm so happy that you did! :) Along with the award, each nominee has to say seven facts about themselves, so here they go:

Seven Facts About Me:
1) When I was younger I used to live in Germany because my dad was in the army.

2) I have grown to know grilled cheese as being a breakfast food. In fact, I didn't find out it wasn't until sometime earlier this month.

3) I have an adorable dog named Rockey, who's a mix between a Bichon Frise and a long-haired Miniature Dachshund. Here's a few pics of him(in order from oldest to newest):

This was from Mother's Day of 2010, I made him a little hat that said Happy Mother's Day on it! And yes, he was on top of the washing machine, but don't worry I kept my eye on him the whole time, and it was just while I took pictures. No dogs were harmed. :)

This was from the past winter, and we weren't sure if he would get cold, so we got him a sweater. Let's just say that didn't go well, and we don't try to dress him up anymore, but we did get some great pictures(the whole time he looked like he was just posing and smiling for the camera)! :D

Here's a more recent picture, from sometime this summer. This is basically just how he sleeps, adorable isn't it!?! :)

4) I love to write songs, poetry, and lots of other little things. It's kinda of my secret obsession(well not really secret).

5) My favorite dessert is probably brownies. I just LOVE them, they're sooo delicious!! Oh and while we're at it, my favorite after-school or late-night snacks are chips and salsa or a bowl of cereal.

6) I want to travel the world someday. I think it would be great to visit different countries and learn new cultures. In particular, I would want to visit Australia and New Zealand, because they both just seem like amazing places to go to. Speaking of traveling- when I am grown-up I think, that if I didn't still live here in Virginia, I would like to live in either New York City or somewhere in California. They both are MAJOR places here in the United States, and I think they would be great areas to kick off my adult life and career.
(Sorry, I kinda cheated on this fact, making it a two-fer!)

7) Something that I have the most absoulte dislike for are rollercoasters!!! I actually like almost everything about them, except for the drops. I'm not afraid of the heights so much as I can't stand the feeling you get when you drop, it's such a wretched sensation! I wish that feeling didn't feel so bad to me, because it would make my time at amusement parks more fun, but I guess there's nothing I can do. :(

Okay, so there you go, seven facts about me (if you want to know a little more, you can check out my About Me page), now my duty, as a nominee, is to past it to other blog(s). So here are my nominees:


Princesses with Crowns


P.S- I would nominate The Girl With The Notepad, but of course I can't do that, since she nominated me. :D

That's all for today. Thanks everyone, for sticking with me, through all of this lack of posting that I have been doing!!! Hope to be posting again SOON!  :)

AHHHH!!

Sorry that I've been gone for awhile. As you know, an earthquake recently hit here, but i guess mother nature hadn't made her point yet. A few days later hurricane Irene made a little visit. I didn't think the hurricane had hit very badly, around here, but apparently 500 trees did, because that's about how many fell down in my surrounding area. Which, as you guessed caused my (and around 350,000 other households') power to be out. Mine has been out since Saturday, and although the power is coming back in places around me, I think it probably won't be until the Saturday coming up for me to have power again.

If you're wondering how I'm writing this, I made a trip to the public library near me, which, I am thankful, has power. So no, this not a regular post, just a quick little writing to say; no I'm not dead, sick, missing, busy, or, surprisingly, I'm not even "just too lazy" to post. I actually have a real excuse this time, I have no electricity!

So I guess this is it for a little while, but don't quit me yet! I'll be back as soon as my power gets cut back on, so check back soon!

Smooches, My Dear ;)

Hi, guys! Today, I have a little Polyvore set for you all. I thought of the outfits last night(well, really, last morning) when I was about to go to sleep, and today I had the mission of finding the right pieces on Polyvore, so that I would have something to show you guys. I really do love these two outfits and I would definitely wear them both. Hope this will inspire your wardrobe! Enjoy!

Polyvore Stuff

Right now, I'm tired, and I'm feeling awfully lazy, so today's post is kinda random. I was on Polyvore, today, and I decided that I wanted to create a template, myself. In order for you guys to see it, I needed to make a set using that template, so I did. This set is just of a random outfit that I put together. Hope it inspires you(trust me, inspiring is ALL it's going to do, because most of the items in this set, are expensive-hey the stuff was cute, what's a girl to do??), and enjoy!

Now, onto another thing involving Polyvore: if you haven't noticed I've added Polyvore's "Mini Editor" to my blog. You'll find it if you scroll down to the very bottom of the page."Mini Editor" is just a small scale version of Polyvore, where the admin(me) chooses (up to 100) the items to put up there. All of the items, that I've chosen so far, are from some of my previous sets that I've shown, on this blog. I will try to update the items regularly, and all you guys should try out my mini editor, yourselves, and tell me what you think!

P.S.- I already made the first set in the mini editor(entitled: Night Out, it's just a quick little outfit I put together), so hopefully you guys will just add on to it! :)
