My Musical Monday (ft. Bryan Greenberg)

I feel like I say this every other post lately, but senior year is just the craziest thing. Usually there's kind of an easing in period for school, but this year it feels like we just jumped right in and got started! Between schoolwork, student senate, college applications, and dance, I definitely have a full plate. But that doesn't mean I don't have time to have a little fun with friends too!

Monday night, Megan and I went to go see Bryan Greenberg play at a local club. You might not know him as a singer, but you'd probably recognize him as Jake from One Tree Hill or as Ben on How to Make it in America , or from movies like Prime, The Perfect Score, or Friends with Benefits. 

But if you don't know his music, get on that, because this guy is amazing. 

I also went to see him last year, and it was one of the best shows I'd been to in a long time. So, when he announced a few acoustic shows in the area, I knew I had to go. The venue was the upstairs lounge on a restaurant in the city, and such a neat place. The walls were covered in murals, and the low stage made for a really intimate, personal experience.

Opening and accompanying Bryan was a girl named Julia Sinclair. Check her out too, because this girl has a voice of gold. She played some originals and also did a cover of JT's "My Love" that definitely gave the original a run for its money. Bryan played a few of his own songs, and they did a few together.

Here's a few pics of the night:

I was lucky enough to be given Bryan's pick after his set was over-
a pretty nice momento to come home with!

Have a fabulous day!

Holiday Weekend Haul!

It's official, laides- Summer is over! My school district always goes back the day after Labor Day, so the long weekend has always marked the true end of summer for me. Mom and I did a little shopping over the past few days, and I must say I got some pretty good deals- just thought I'd share some of them with you all! Enjoy!

Damask Print Tunic- $15 at Target

Wearing this for my first day of school tomorrow!

Basic black leggings- $8 at Target

I LIVE in these in the fall and winter!

Slatkin & Co. Cinnamon Sugared Donut 3-Wick Candle- 

$10 (on sale 2 for $20) at Bath and Body Works

This smells exactly like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts! 

Too bad they're not around here anymore.

Ralph by Ralph Lauren Holiday Box Set- $65 at Macy's

I decided it was finally time for "big girl perfume" and as soon as I smelled this, I fell in love- so fresh and clean smelling! And how cute is that packaging!?

Nike Dri-Fit Golf Cap- $9 at Marshall's

I love that the material of this cap wicks away sweat but still looks like cotton!

Hope your holiday weekend was a great one!

Accent VLOG!

The accent vlog, also known as the accent tag, is probably something you've been seeing a lot of lately. It's been all around both YouTube and a bunch of blogs that I read. I think it's so interesting to hear how other people talk and see how where they live has affected their speech, and I've been watching a bunch of them lately. I decided to join in on the fun, so here is my accent vlog!

Here's the instructions!

First, say these words:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

Then, Answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that have an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing to you use to change the TV channel?

Like I said in the video, I don't think I've shared with all of you where I'm from or where I live, and while I don't intend to do that, I think it'd be fun to see what you think based on the way that I talk, so 

after watching the video, leave a comment telling me where you think I'm from from hearing my voice!
