I Finally Caved...

If you're into the blogging world, you've probably stumbled upon Pinterest at least once. It is an invite-only website and I was trying to resist another addicting website, but I finally caved.

So far I am loving looking at cute hairstyles, pretty posters with inspirational quotes, and the love between my favorite TV characters. 

Here's the link to my Boards on Pinterest! Share yours with me!

Amazing Web Magazine - Love Twenty!

Remember my learning experience? Well a good thing came out of it - a new friend and the chance to hear about and write for a really cool website!

The website is called Love Twenty and is all about stuff that twenty-something girls care about. Just from that description, I was hooked. But the website is also very pink and adorable and covers style, beauty, love, careers, decor, health, and much more! Basically, amazing advice, products, and fun activities for twenty-something girls.

Check out one of my first posts - my twenty-something adventure!

Cool Website For Customized Beauty/Fashion Info!

I would definitely not call myself a fan of Tyra Banks. I love watching "American's Next Top Model" but I think Tyra is pretty annoying and I usually fast forward every part where she talks. Oops. Anyway, regardless of how annoying she can be, she just created a pretty cool website!

I saw her promoting it on TV before it was released and decided to bookmark it to check it out when it was live. The premise: customized articles and tips based on YOU. You login and tell the website different facts about you such as your eye color, skin type, hair problems, etc. It is beauty and fashion tailored to you. There are articles, videos, tips, and advice. All in all, a great tool for any girl who loves learning about new beauty and fashion products or who needs some help with skin problems or just wants new information.

It is called TypeF.com and you can check it out from that link! Have you looked at this website before? Let me know your thoughts!

Cool news!

I'm now a featured blogger on Twenty-Something Bloggers! I believe for the whole month of March. Their website is a great way to connect with other bloggers around the same age...check it out!

Amazing Site for Women!

I have some great news and an awesome website for all you fabulous ladies out there! I got a chance to meet Allison Stuart Kaplan and to start interning for her website, ASKinyourface.com. It is a great site for women of all ages and covers topics us girls love to read about - relationships, eating, working out, skincare, beauty, fashion, etc!

You can see my first article on the website here. I hope you guys like my article and check out the website!

Bloggers.com pick of the day!

Sorry this is so small!

Just a big THANK YOU to Bloggers.com! I was featured as a pick of the day yesterday! :)

Get Free Music!

I found a great way to get music for free when I don't have the money to buy from Amazon or iTunes!

Check out Zamzar.com, a free online file converter website where you can download songs from Youtube right to iTunes!

At first I thought it was too good to be true, but then I tried it when I had to download some music for a PowerPoint for my internship and I didn't want to purchase the songs. All you have to do is find the song on Youtube and copy the URL, tell Zamzar what file you want it in, put in your email address and convert. You'll get a link to download in your inbox and it can go right to iTunes, ready to listen.

Tell me, have you ever used this? What is your favorite way to get new music when you're broke?

Sometimes...

...PostSecret is so true.

Cool Site: DailyFeats!

How would you like to be rewarded for things you do every day like taking deep breaths or taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work?

Daily Feats is the place to do so. You don't even have to sign up, you can simply log in with your Facebook account and browse "feats". Feats are positive things you do every day and some you do every once in a while. These feats have different point values, based on how hard they are. For example, eating a fruit or veggie is 2 points, while adopting a pet is 10.

You can follow others and check out what feats they're completing and they can do the same for you. When you "check in" that you've done that feat for the day, it gives you points and you can also make a comment about the feat.

The coolest part is that when you rack up enough good deeds or feats, you can get stuff with your points like gift cards to your favorite places like Amazon.com or Starbucks! So what are you waiting for? Go check in the great stuff you do every day and get rewarded for it.

Come be my friend on DailyFeats and see what I'm doing! :)

Cool Website!

Maybe I am the last person in the world to find this website, but for those of you who haven't heard about it... check out stumbleupon.com!

You sign up for free and make your account and then choose a ton of interests that you like. Then simply click 'stumble' and it will take you to website after website based on your interests. You can 'like' certain ones to save them in your favorites.

It definitely is a great time waster if you have nothing to do... let me know if you use or like stumbleupon!

What I'm Lovin' Today!

Really cool desktop wallpapers. 

I've always been a sucker for true quotes that make you think and really beautiful pictures of people and nature. Well, if those two things had a baby... it would be these wallpapers for your computer. 

I go to this one from time to time and pick out a new one. Right now it's this one:

Pretty right? :) Let me know which one you pick if you love these too!

What I'm Lovin' Today!

Supernews.

Watch these videos. 

I was shown the "Twouble with Twitter" video in my class today and I thought it was hilarious... and true. Krissy and I have been watching some of the others, "The Hills Apocalypse", "Texting Your Way to Love" (New favorite word: Flrixting!), and "Social Networking Wars"... etc. 

Check 'em out, guarantee you'll have a laugh! If you're too lazy to search on the link I gave... here's one of the best ones we found. Enjoy! :)

Time.

Change Your Life in 30 Seconds.

Time. I am writing this as I'm listening to a time management lecture by Randy Pausch, the guy who essentially wrote "The Last Lecture" (Jeff Zaslow really wrote it, but it was based on the lecture by Randy Pausch). Great book... I definitely recommend it. Anyways, time. Time is ticking by right now. Sometimes it goes by so fast and sometimes it feels so slow. Why is that?

I also love the book Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. In Stargirl, there is this quote that always stuck with me...

“Nobody has the time. The time cannot be owned. Time is free to everyone!”

(While looking for this quote, I came across this blog which I found really interesting. Check it out as I will later....)

If you really think about it, time is the one thing we have that is always free. Always there. Never stops and always keeps going. Whether you want it to go slower, or faster, need more... it remains the same. At the same time, we don't know how much of it we will have in our lives. Even if you receive a death sentence, a doctor cannot tell you the specific day in which you will die and your time here will cease. 

Here are the most important things in life I think we need to remember related to time:

• Get organized. Okay, okay, I do work at a place called Organize-It, I've compulsively made my bed every day since I was 5 years old, and everyone knows how neat I am. But still, I think it is important to everyone. Think about a time when you couldn't do something because you couldn't find it. I strongly believe you will get a lot more work done if you just take the time to put things in order first.
  

• Get the bad stuff done before you can get on to the fun. Okay, I am definitely bad at this one sometimes. Jot down a to-do list and get done that dreaded homework, head off to work, or clean your room before you can go out and do the thing you want to do. Guarantee you might have more time to do the thing you like if you get the other stuff done first.

• Think about what you're doing right now. Surfing the web mindlessly? Watching TV? Anything else you could be doing that would be more productive or more satisfying? I strongly believe you need your downtime to do nothing and chill out, but I know I spend more time doing those things than I really need to. 

• Don't waste time being angry. Get angry, yell, cry, fight, and get over it. I think a lot of people waste time being mad at someone they love for stupid reasons. Argue and fix it. Spend lots of loving time with the people you love. You don't know how long you might have with them.
  

• "Failing to plan is planning to fail." Plan your day, plan your life, and plan to leave room for days or minutes when you have nothing at all planned to do. 
  

I'll end on a quote by the late, great Benjamin Franklin.

"Dost thou love life? Then waste not time; for time is the stuff that life is made of."

What I'm Lovin' Today!

Cool T-Shirts.

Friend of mine from high school has this site.... he designs the T-shirts and sells them. He's a great artist and they are super cool. There are ones for boys and girls and different designs that anyone would like!

So check it out. :) Here are some of my favorites:

What I'm Lovin' Today!

One word: CollegeCandy.com

So ever since I discovered this website by looking at what the people in my class were doing on the computers before we actually started class... I've been hooked. I was first intrigued by the name, College Candy? And the trademark kiss. 

And when I started looking I loved it more. Specifically for the college girl, it gives articles and tips on boys, fashion, beauty, pop culture... pretty much anything your average college girl wants to hear about or wants to know more on. I really like the "Candy Dish" which features links to random news that's going on that day. Another reason I love it... most articles are funny. Being a girl addicted to the latest Judd Apatow film, I can't get enough humor in my life! Especially if it throws in a few hints on how to unlock the male psyche. ;)

Another big plus, I threw them a comment and the actual managing editor e-mailed me back within about a half an hour. Sweet!

And fingers crossed, I might be featured on there for a college blogger shout-out! So keep lookin' for me... :)

XOXO.
