Snow Storm = Snow Day = Snow Fun

               I've never really been a big fan of the snow.  My mom used to love to ski, snowboard, snow mobile, and do all these fun winter sports so, naturally, she's always encouraging me to try this stuff out.  I've always been more of a summer type of girl.  I love boogie boarding, playing in the waves, relaxing on the beach, and playing summer sports like kick ball.  I'd rather wear shorts and a tank top than jeans and boots.  In face, I used to think the only good part about winter was getting to wear my collection of scarves, my favorite fashion accessory.

               After the day I had yesterday, I have a whole new appreciation for winter.  The bitter cold is dreadful, in my opinion, but the snow is beautiful.  It's like, and I quote from The Clique My Little Phony book I'm currently reading, the MAC fairy came and sprinkled frosty white eyeshadow all over the earth and then kissed it with dazzle-glass coated lips.  I love that quote!  Lisi Harrison is such a talented writer!  The snow sparkles in the sunlight, and even at night it glistens in the moonlight.  It's so gorgeous!
               Last night I was babysitting my brother for a couple hours and we decided to go outside and play in the snow.  I bundled him up in snow pants, boots, mittens, and a hat.  Then, we headed outside.  We made snow angels, we attempted to build a huge snow volcano, and had a snow ball fight.  My dog, Sammy, was rolling around in the snow and I was thinking, how can you stay warm?!?!?!?
               
It was a lot of fun!  I would lay in the snow and look up at this huge pine tree we have in out backyard and it was covered in the "Frosty White MAC Eyeshadow".  It was really beautiful.  When I was smaller, around the age of 10, I used to play out in the snow all the time and I loved it, but now I don't really play in the snow that much any more.  I don't know how my dislike for winter occurred, but I do know that now I love the Winter.
               The absolute best part about winter is when you're done trilling around in the snow, you can come inside and sit down with a mug of hot chocolate.  The best is swiss miss.  It has little mini marshmallows in it and then I like to put a stick of peppermint in it and when it melts it's delicious!  Try it out and let me know what you think!  :)

My Latest TV Obsessions

               What do I do in my spare time?  I dance, I read, I write, I hang out with friends, I shop, I blow my money on things I don't need, I make YouTube videos, and I watch TV.  Most of my favorite shows are from The CW.  It's my favorite Channel to watch!  The CW is the channel that has all the drama, all the gossip, all the laughs and tears.  So, without further-a-do, here are my latest TV obsessions!

#1.  Pretty Little Liars
               Pretty Little Liars is one of my all time favorite shows.  I remember the day it premiered.  Back then, I really wasn't into watching TV.  I watched YouTube videos all the time.  To my misfortune, I had watched all of my subscriptions so I turned to the holy television.  Little did I know, that was the day Pretty Little Lairs premiered.  After watching the first episode, I fell in love.  They took about a 2 month break a while ago and it just came back on about a week ago.  That was one of the best episodes in my opinion.  What can I say?  They're pretty girls, with ugly secrets.


#2 Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl has always been one of my favorite shows.  I first discovered the show about a year ago right after winter break ended.  I was in 6th grade, at the library.  I had heard a lot about the show.  I had read about the stars Blake Lively and Leighten Meester in celebrity gossip magazines like Twist and J-14.  I decided it was time for me to squeeze into the loop and figure out what all the chatter was about.  I checked out with the season 1 and season 2 of Gossip Girl.  When I got home I popped season 1 into the dvd player.  Each season came with 5 disks and before I knew it I had watched all 10 disks in about 3 weeks.  Gossip Girl is soooo addicting!

#3 90210
90210 is one of my latest addictions.  To be honest, I hadn't even watched it until a few weeks ago but now that I've started watching it I can't stop!  It's amazing and who ever did the casting for the show did a great job because they're all amazing actors!

#4 Americas Next Top Model
The difference between this TV obsession and my other ones is that this is a reality show while the other ones are just dramas.  Americas Next Top Model (ANTM) was introduced to me by my best friend Mary V.  She's always wanted to be a model and this was, and still is, her favorite TV show.  I'd never watched it before, but then one day we watched it at her house.  Modeling looks like a lot of fun.  The show is very competitive and the challenges are so hard!  I would love to be on this show someday when I'm older!

#5 Hell Cats
Honestly, I havn't watched this show in a while.  But I definitely need to start catching up on my Hell Cats soon!  The show came out not too long ago and I love it!  First of all, I love Ashley Tisdale.  She's an amazing actor and a wonderful singer.  She's also insanely gorgeous and i love her new hair color.  I love that she was in the show!  The show is all about cheerleading.  Watching it made cheerleading look really fun.  Who knows, maybe someday I'll want to take up cheerleading.  :)
