Lyrics I Love: To Build A Home

I have loved this song for what feels like forever. It's over six minutes of glorious piano and heart-wrenching lyrics. I believe my heart first fell in love with this song when it was used in the Another Earth trailer (you can learn more about this movie here). This song just gives me so many feels I can't even explain them. When you listen to it, you will know what I'm talking about!

Quotes & Sayings Sunday

Love this quote! It puts into words a feeling I sometimes have about people... if they aren't contributing to your relationship, drop 'em! You don't have time for boring people in your life. Life is too short to be bored.

July Playlist

I am aware this playlist makes me look like a complete lunatic. The songs are all over the map; there is no cohesion. But to be honest, that's me! I like all kinds of music and these playlists I put together are mostly the songs I get obsessed over. They relate to the people, places and things of my life. Sometimes it's a song I heard on the radio once and fell in love with. Other times it's a song from a movie (see This is the End!). And I can't forget about the songs that remind me of the people in my life and that one person I can't stop thinking about.

Color Scheme of the Month: Navy

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

This month I am feeling the color navy. I believe navy is a seasonless color and I love to wear it all year round. I also adore navy accents and home decor. I always gravitate to the blue items in any store. I am naturally drawn to it.

What is your go-to color?

Beautiful Hair

If such a thing as a hair fairy existed and said fairy visited me and asked how I would like my hair to look, I would answer with any of these six styles: 

I love the asymmetrical cut of the first look. I don't have the guts to cut my hair like that, though. I got one bad short haircut and I have been scarred for life.  :( 

The ponytail look is closest to my own hair but I can never get my updos to look like that. They usually look messy but not that good kind of messy, you know? 

The curls in the middle picture are just to die for. I can't curl my hair to save my life so I wish I could have curls like that. 

I think it's possible I could pull off red hair... I have pale skin and light features, which seem to work with red hair.  

I have envied the ombre look of the bottom picture for months now. The coloring is just perfect and I would love a cute cut like that, too. (Not to mention the curls!)

The last look is probably the one I could maybe pull off in real life. And it seems to be a pretty easy style to maintain. I love messy but perfect looking hair styles. Styles that look like you just rolled out of bed but you actually didn't. 

What's your favorite hair style?
