Tonight's The Night!

That's right... It's The Bachelor Finale Night!  I can hardly contain myself.  I think this has been the BEST season yet!  I'm hoping and praying that Brad picks Emily... If he doesn't, he's crazy.  Chantal isn't bad, but she's WAY too emotional for any guy to handle.  Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if she announced to him that she was pregnant with another guys baby... she's definitely acting and looking like she's 5 months pregnant! 

I've often wondered why I'm so obsessed with The Bachelor.  It's not just me, of course... almost all of my friends as well as millions of women around the U.S. are addicted to the show.  Many say it's to fill the "drama" void in their lives... that can't be true. I think most girls watch because they want to believe in love... and they want to see girls act ridiculous to one another.  Whatever it is... If watching it is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I'm also excited to find out who will be the next Bachelorette... I'm hoping they announce that tonight on After the Final Rose.  I think Michelle Money would be a hilarious bachelorette... but my money is on Chantal... or Emily, if she gets booted. 

Who do you think Brad will pick?  Who do you think will be the next Bachelorette?

19 to 21... Still Perfection

Adele has always been one of my favorite artists.  Her debut album, 19, is one of my favorite albums of all time and it went triple platinum in the U.K.  Her new album, 21, is nothing short of unbelievable.  Like the title, her writing and style has matured.  21 sold over 350,000 copies in the first week here in the U.S.

I love Adele so much because of her amazing writing.  Yes, her voice is stunning, unlike anyone in my generation (Gen Y).  But it's her writing that is genius.  It's relateable, it's soft and mellow, it's dark, it's gritty, it's raw and it's beautiful.  I chose to showcase the song, "Someone Like You."  I think we all that someone in our lives... that someone who "got away."  Enjoy!!

Kadinsky - Abstract Art

One of my favorite paintings is by Wassily Kadinsky.  It's an abstract painting.  Very colorful, circles inside squares.  I have this picture framed in my room.  It's quite small but I love having it around.  It makes me happy when I look at it.  Now that I think about it, I should bring it to work... Anyway, I painted a picture like this in 2nd grade.  It was abstract (of course I didn't know it at the time) and there were shapes and colors all over the place.  It actually got chosen by the Columbus Arts Council to showcase at the Arts Festival here in Columbus.  I should find it and take a photo of it... for another time. 

Enjoy this painting... maybe it will make you happy too.

Stay or Go?

The Ombre hair color has been a popular discussion lately. It's a natural take on letting your roots show. It looks like your hair is fading from dark to light. Is it a passing fad or is it a go to hair color?  Personally, I love this hair trend.  I think, when done right, it can look very natural without looking like you just walked off the set of My Name is Earl.  I've watched many a video on how to do it yourself at home but I haven't gotten the guts to actually do it.  I wanted my hair girl, Sara, to do it for me at the salon but it got lost in translation.  What do you think about this hair color choice?

Here to stay?  Or Go Away?

5-ways-to-dress-like-you-have-money-even-if-you-dont


Pretty good article.  I'm surprised they didn't add anything about the perfect pair of jeans... dark wash, please.  A nice set of pearls doesn't hurt either!  I think the most important thing is to be confident in your style choice.  My style changes from day to day, honestly.  It depends a lot on my mood.  A smile goes along way too....  =)


And there ain't nothing wrong with a cute dress, black tights and tall boots! Just like my friend Heather is wearing in this picture!  These tights are pretty cool too... adds a nice touch without overdoing it!  Love it!

Say Ahhhhh....

My new music obsession....


The Paper Tongues.


Actually, I've been obsessed with them for a few months now since I got to meet them and hear them sing live... like 3 feet away from me.  It was great.  They are southern boys from North Carolina and you can tell when they talk... so sweet.  Their lead singer, Aswan North, has an amazing & unique voice that makes them sound different.  They have a cool, hip vibe with rock undertones and it works.  Their music has a message and that's what's important.  Whether it's a song about strength for a nation or love between two people... they have mad writing skills.  American Idol is using one of their songs, "Higher" in there video cuts... They also have their own Pandora Channel...*I'm listening to it right now* 


Check these guys out... you'll thank me later.  http://site.papertongues.com/home
