Why Don't More People Throw Birthday Parties Anymore?

9/23/2016

    It seems as though everyone's birthday is in September, and lately I've been going to a lot of birthday parties. I haven't gone to an actual birthday party in a really long time. It seems as I get older there are less and less, and I actually forgot how much fun they are! For my friends birthdays we normally just go out for dinner or we don't make time to celebrate it at all because it's "not a big age" (whatever that means). I completely disagree with that though; I think every year of your life is something that should be celebrated. It's so fun when you actually go out and do something or have cake at someone's house. I just went to a roller skating party by the Brooklyn bridge and I had such a fun time! Even though I'm not the best roller skater, ( I only fell on my but like 8 times) it was so fun laughing at each other with my friends and doing something we wouldn't normally do. And having house parties is also adorable! With cake, good music and your best friends, what could be better? At another one I went to a few weeks ago, we laughed and ate at this really good burger place on the upper west side and then went to my friends house for cake and sang along to the Hamilton record (her gift). I even made a bunch of friends with people that I hadn't even known were in my grade AND went to my school! I had such a good time, I went home smiling! It's amazing how much joy you get out of such little things.  Birthday parties are such a great opportunity to act silly and just have fun celebrating your friend, so why don't we as teenagers do it as often? Do we not think that we're worth the celebration? Is it just not "cool"?  If that's the case, than that's just stupid. I personally think it's cool to value these years that we get to not have too many responsibilities and giggle over stupid things and eat candy. Overall, if you're lucky enough to have someone you love to be with, than you should celebrate them. But that's just my opinion.

Some Easy Workouts in a Pinch For When You Don't Have Time To Really Sweat It Out

9/18/2016

Because you gotta stay fit...and you gotta get up for school tomorrow morning.

   School is a pretty tough thing to juggle with literally anything else...especially when you have 10 periods a day AND have 3 hours of traveling. Normally I work out 5/6 days a week, but when I have 5 tests in 1 week, my workouts become very short and hard to even complete. These videos are really great for when you want to squeeze a little toning into your day or actually need a few minutes to relieve yours stress (like me). There is no such thing as a quick fix, but these will sure help get yourself into shape. Plus, they're kind of fun!
​

1. 10 Minute Abs with Rebecca-Louise

   I try to do this one every other day and it's really good for working your lower abs. I did it for 2 weeks straight everyday and I really saw the difference it made. I would also recommend this channels thigh workout, Olivia Wilde workout and their million calorie workout. XHit also has a whole Victoria Secret series which will be sure to make your but hurt.
​

2. The Fitness Marshal

   This man makes squeezing in your cardio so much entertaining. I love to dance and he's combinations are so fun. My sister and I do them together and usually end up laughing. You do not ave to be an actual dancer to do these, you just gotta move! I would also recommend his videos to Cheap Thrills, Dessert, Cold Water and Or Nah.

3. Extreme Abs by Blogilates

   If you want instant soreness, this the way to get it. Though sometimes I get a little irritated by her voice in this, it really does work very quickly. I would recommend having a look at all of her videos, she has one for everything!

Of course getting into shape doesn't just mean working out but these workouts will really help. They're also ALL under 20 minutes!
So...what's your excuse now?😏

Kanye West.

       For my birthday I got two tickets to the Kanye West concert at MSG with my sister and I was so surprised. The day finally came and I was so excited. My sister and I we're practically shaking. We went, got merchandise in a crazy crowd, and enjoyed one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The stage is in the air and moves around the Garden, so you really could see him from anywhere. Kanye West's performing was unbelievable and he surprisingly didn't rant or really talk at much at all. He was non stop and he was great. It was one of those concerts that you could tell took an incredibly long to design. Between the crazy lighting design and the stage, it was one of those shows that you could enjoy even if you didn't like Kanye West. My favorite songs that he performed were Waves, Stronger,  Famous and Runaway. (Those aren't my favorite songs of him in general, those are just the ones I thought he performed the best). I have literally never seen a crowd so hype before, people were jumping on top of each other and dancing like crazy. The show ended with Ultralight Beam and it was basically the most dramatic exit I had ever seen (You can see it at the end of the video). Everyone thought Chance the Rapper was younger to come out and I literally didn't leave because even when Kanye left, I still didn't think it was over. (A lot of people stayed). The show was pretty short and he started an hour and a half late (no opening act), but it was so worth it. This is a concert I would go to again in a heart beat and a night I'll never forget.

Starting Sophomore Year

9/12/2016

1 Comment

 
   So this week is my first full week of sophomore year and it's going pretty well. This year I'm taking AP Global and the work is already so hard. I'm also taking music theory which does not come naturally at all. Last year I struggled with sight singing, and this year is even harder but it does help me with understanding what I sing even more and writing music. Anyway, I didn't realize being a sophomore would feel so different than being a freshman like I was just about 3 months ago. My teachers are so much harder on me, I guess because we're not getting used to the school. I'm also treated with a lot more respect from the upperclassmen which is nice. Last year I made a lot of friends with people that we're older than me, but for some reason, I can't picture myself being friends with one of the freshmen! It's so weird! Another change this year, is that I have to wake up a lot earlier (5).  I don't mind it as much as I did though, and I kind of like watching the sun rise on the ferry. So these were just some of the new things that have been going on, just to update you! To any sophomores reading, how do you feel about the freshmen? Do they look scared? Do you enjoy them looking scared? Comment below!

Some of my Favorite Outfits From September

9/2/2016

0 Comments

 
  September is one of those months that can sometimes be warm enough to not wear a jacket but not warm enough to go full summer attire, at least in New York City. We were lucky enough to get some warm days most of the time, so here are some of my outfits I wore! (I decided to do a month outfit post instead of the #OOTW I did last year). 
Picture
   This shirt is actually a dress from Brandy Melville but I am not a model and I don't wear dresses that barely cover anything, so I unbuttoned most of it and turned it into a flow shirt!

                                 Is it a shirt or a dress??!!!???!!!?!?! (I literally got that all day )

This is just my favorite paisly shirt from some boutique I forgot the name of...but I know the jeans are from Abercrombie!

This candid is so funny to me. It kind of looks like I'm in Italy. This is actually one of my favorite dresses! I got it in a boutique on the jersey shore (if you live in the tri-state area, you should go and check out all of the cute shops!). The shoes are from Urban Outfitters.
​

Judging by this first week of October, it seems that my next 'Favorite Outfits of the Month' will be much heavier:( Boots already???????
