The Vampire Diaries


The Originals


True Blood


Scandal


Grey's Anatomy

I am a huge Sci Fi nerd so it comes to no surprise that the first three are all vampire shows. I think everyone loves The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, though. The characters are so bangin' too! One of my favorite shows of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so again, it's not much of a surprise. Shae and I just recently started watching True Blood and are on season 2 but we are obsessed!

I've been watching Grey's Anatomy since I was in 8th grade! I remember my grannie would record all the episodes on Tivo and I would indulge in them as well. It's been a long road with this show and it's still one of my favorites! Scandal is newer-ish, but Shonda Rhymes makes some great shows! I recommend both of these shows to anyone. I am definitely far from a politics junkie, but I absolutely love Scandal. It's so good.

I watch almost every game show on the food network. Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, Worst Cooks in America, The Great Food Truck Race, etc. These are also my favorite shows I just didn't feel like including pictures of every single one.

What are some of your favorite TV shows?

Truthfully, there aren't many things I'm afraid of. Not that I can think of. There are some obvious ones like huge spiders, ugly critters that I don't recognize, being outside in the dark hearing noises, etc. But besides that, there aren't many rational fears. I suppose I'm absolutely terrified of not being able to have kids. Part of me feels like I will be unable to get pregnant and if so, I wouldn't be able to carry the baby. It's just one of those gut feelings. Mostly because I have health problems, and another because me and Shae somehow magically have not gotten pregnant (we have never 'tried' but we have not prevented). So I would say that's something I am really afraid of.

I love you all. So much.

  Kabuki Brush Set | Gold Oregon Necklace | Gold Bar Necklace | Broadway Lighted Vanity Mirror | True Blood Series | Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Masque | Cards Against Humanity | Coach Poppy Perfume | Iphone 6 - Gold
I found these brushes on Amazon for really inexpensive. I have an obsession with brushes but I really am in need of some new ones. Instead of splurging on a Sigma brush set, I figured I would settle for something far less expensive. I am actually going to purchase these in the very new future!

This Gold Oregon necklace is so beautiful. I always find the best jewelry on Etsy. I've always seen people with those cold California necklaces and so I have been on a search for an Oregon one. This was the closest I could find and I absolutely adore it.

Again with the Etsy jewelry. I have actually wanted this necklace since before Christmas. I want to get my marriage anniversary engraved into it and wear it. I seriously feel like I would never take this necklace off. I am usually a silver girl, but I love gold necklaces.

The lighted vanity mirror is a little far fetched. I mean, $400 for a vanity mirror? Not gonna happen. But a girl can dream! I'm so excited for us to move into a three bedroom house in April because this means Shae gets a man cave and I get a beauty room/office room. So I have been dreaming about what it's going to look like. A few of my favorite beauty guru's on Youtube have this mirror and it's gorgeous!

Mine and Shae's latest TV obsession is True Blood and it actually kills me that the series isn't on Netflix (Damn HBO!). So we have been having to buy the seasons. We only have the first two, but I hope to own all of them this year!

Macadamia oil's deep repair hair masque has been one of my staples for years, but I actually haven't purchased it once since I moved to North Carolina which was almost one year ago! So I need to get this baby back in my life and repurchase it ASAP.

I've been saying this forever, but I need Cards Against Humanity. We've had a few game nights with friends and I feel like this would be perfect to add to the bunch! We all have great senses of humor, so this would be so fun. Especially with some beer!

I've never been a huge perfume girl. I have always been more of a body spray from Bath & Body Works type of girl. I always have some Juicy Coutoure perfume from getting a set almost every Christmas from a family member, but I have finally found a perfume that I absolutely love, and that's Poppy by Coach. We will see if I can spend almost $50 for a 1oz bottle of perfume sometime this year or not. Haha!

Lastly, an iPhone 6, 64gb in Gold. My 5s is cracked beyond belief and has taken a beating the last year and a half. She's almost a goner. I actually tried to go get this phone a few days ago and they were sold out. So I am currently just waiting for them to get them back in so I can go get it!

What is on your 2015 wishlist?

Happy 2015 guys! I figured what better way to bring in the new year with a new planner and some new colorful pens! I swear I haven't put the thing down since I got home. I have been adding important dates, birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, and anything I can possibly think of in this beauty! This planner is by Mint Green and it's recycled and just what I wanted. I love that I decided to get a big planner instead of a small like I usually do. It's nice to have so much more space to write and do some more organizing. I really want to stay as organized as possible this year.

Some of my resolutions for the year are to stay organized. I want to start meal planning again. I tried it and loved doing it, it just got impossible to keep up with but I have made it a goal to find the time and patience to do it. I also plan to better my fitness and health lifestyle. I know everyone makes this a goal for the new year but Shae and I made a huge lifestyle change after summer got over and we were doing so well with our goals, and after the passing of both of our grandparents, we fell off and we plan on getting back on the band wagon!

2015 has so many awesome things in store for us. There is a 90% chance Shae will be deploying really soon but I have so many plans to keep busy while he is gone. And if he doesn't have to deploy then I still plan on keeping the same plans! We get to move into a house in April and I am so excited to decorate and have space way beyond what we have now. We also plan on getting a puppy when we move too! We will have our own yard and the space  to get a new baby so we are really excited about that. This is mine and Shae's fifth year together and I feel like every five years is a milestone so maybe we will do something special this year! I will be turning 23, and Shae 22. My mom plans to come visit for a month in April when we move to help out with that. My friend Lindy and I plan to take a road trip to Oregon and California to go home for a few weeks this summer. I find out if I got into the surgical tech program and will hopefully start that! We will be celebrating our 2nd marriage anniversary. Also, I hope to start planning for a baby Atkins! We will see though. ;)

Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all happiness and success for 2015.


Happy New Year everyone!

I don't have any extravagant travel experiences. I've spent my entire life living on the West coast, and going back and forth between Oregon, Washing and Alaska. I would love to post beautiful pictures of those three states but since those places are "home" to me, I figured I would do something new. A few months ago, Shae and I took a road trip to Carolina Beach. I know that this is only a couple hour drive away from where we currently live now, but it was a perfect day and it was the first day we touched (and swam) in the Atlantic Ocean! We spent a few hours on the beach running into the warm ocean and riding the waves, had a little picnic on the very crowded beach, and then went and explored the rest of the little town we were in. We played tourist for the day and went into all the little shops, walked the boardwalk and then went and had seafood in honor of having a beach day. We found this little hole in the wall oyster bar and boy, we were both so glad we did. The food was amazing! We got a bucket type deal where we got crab legs, oysters and shrimp and we split it! We both agreed to go back there just to eat at this place again.

Divergent is one of my favorite movies of all time. I never read the books (but I plan too!), but this movie was just so good. I have watched it at least five times since it came out and I still haven't grown tired of it.


Almost Heroes is  one of Chris Farley's least popular movies but it is absolutely one of my favorites. I have been watching this movie since I was probably eight years old. I cry laughing every single time I watch it. Shae and I watch this movie probably once a month and we have so much fun quoting the entire movie. 

I have far too many favorite movies, but I would have a list way too long. These are my favorite two at this moment in time. :)
