Yo!

So, it's Monday and you're hearing from me instead of Kayley. You're not going crazy I promise. Tuesdays ARE my post days, but since Kayley has been in a wine coma for approximately 4 days now, we decided to give the girl a little break on having a post due the second she got home from Country Stampede. 

Anyway, on with the post. I had something else typed up last night and decided that was boring and really had no point cause it was me rambling about random shit. But then as I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about what's been on my playlist this month since I've been obsessively listening to Yeezus lately, and decided I would much rather share that with you guys instead! (I currently have 30 minutes and counting to finish getting ready for work... I'll let you know how that goes).

First and foremost: OH MY GOD YEEZUS. As I tweeted earlier, I may or may not need an intervention. This really has been a year of Kanye for me, because I got lost in Cruel Summer for a solid two weeks before I realized that other music actually still existed (whoops). Props to Kanye for creating some kick ass music this year. But here's my favorite tracks from the album (in no order because I'm having serious issues even narrowing it down to this):
Blood On The Leaves
I'm In It
Hold My Liquor
Black Skinhead
New Slaves

Secondly, I finally got around to listening to MS MR and holy mother of God I am in love. How I went so long with having them on the back burner is beyond me but they have definitely been a favorite this month. I've been loving Hurricane, Head Is Not My Home and Salty Sweet, but the rest of Secondhand Rapture definitely deserves a round of applause and I'm SO excited to see this duo in September (Thank you, 96.5).

Marina Diamandis will always hold my heart, so of course this month couldn't go without a mention to her. I really loved her before seeing her in concert in May and ever since then I love her even more (if that's even possible). Obsessions, and last week's On Repeat pick, Mowgli's Road have been my two favs from her this month.

Moving on, Ellie Goulding, who Jen and I will be going to see in August along with Bruno Mars (SO EXCITED GUYS. I really just love music okay?). I got back into listening to some of her older stuff like Your Biggest Mistake, and this Salt Skin remix but also have been loving her collaboration with Calvin Harris. 

Honorable Mentions:
Alt-J's Tessellate
A$AP Rocky's Goldie
M.I.A.'s Bring The Noize
The Neighbourhood's Sweater Weather 

Talk to you next week (on the right post day!)

So I've decided that my last post for every month is going to be a bit of a conglomeration (that doesn't look like it's spelled right, but there's no red squiggly line so I'm gonna assume yes and that I'm just a kickass speller). It's going to have a couple favorites of the month, reasons this month was awesome, and other general tidbits. So, here we go!

Favorite Beauty Product: Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express in Very Black
This shit is amazing. Tessa has raved about it for god knows who long (she tends to do that) and I finally gave in and tried it out. Holy. God. I almost went out and bought Smashbox Hyperlash but got this instead and saved about $15. If you need an amazing mascara, try this out.

Favorite Haircare/Skincare Product: The Body Shop Body Butter in Satsuma
I have been having some trouble with breakouts recently and my hair is kind of a mess, so I went with a staple in my collection - body butter. I have always loved citrus scents and this one just makes me feel happy and summery and just yummy in general.... which is weird but I don't care. Put this on after you shave your legs and your legs are smoother for seriously about two extra days and that is a big deal, my friends.

Listening to: Drive Soundtrack
I know I've already raved about this soundtrack and I will again tomorrow for On Repeat but I can't handle how much I love this soundtrack. You absolutely need to see the movie as well. You can find the entire soundtrack on Spotify because someone made it a playlist so you have no reason to not check it out. I'M SERIOUS.

Reading: A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
Yes, I'm a Game of Thrones fan. Who isn't nowadays? I got my Dad completely hooked after getting him the first season for Father's Day. The books are possibly more amazing than the series because they go into way more detail and help you really understand what's going on during the show. If you like to read, check out this series.

Reasons this month was great (just to stay positive):
1. Wing Tuesday at Buffalo Wild Wings with the FBG has been established.
Must I say anything else?

2. I finally have the hang of my internship.
This is a big one. I finally feel comfortable here and my mentor is amazing. I can do most everything by myself now after he walked me through it about 8,748,394 times. I love what I'm doing here and have total confidence in applying to medical and/or graduate school. boom.

3. Tessa and I double dating this summer.
First off, any one of the FBG having a successful interaction with a man is a momentous occasion in and of itself. The fact that Tessa and I have (sorta) snagged two guys to hang out with that just happen to be best friends is literally the most convenient and mind-boggling event. Cute boys? Hanging out with one of my best friends? Fun things like amusement parks? If I had some pizza and a Sonic Blast I would require nothing else in life.

Well, that's all for me today.  If you have any comments/questions/requests, please leave them here! It's completely anonymous so if you're shy it's perfect for you. We really would love some feedback.

Have a great rest of June!
