My Website Is Up! Also, Something Strange About Carmina Burana...

     Well, I did it! The 100 day challenge has started and my blog site is up! On there you will find everything from updates that have anything and everything to do with makeup and fashion. Yes, I decided it would double as a fashion blog since I can't get enough of that already. Heehee. Gah!! I'm so excited that I'm actually do this. It's going to be so fun y'all!

     Ok, ok. I'll take a breather. I just can't wait to see how much fun this is going to be. :) My twin sister told me our younger sister wants to do a photoshoot this weekend and she mentioned the word colorful. So, naturally she comes to me since I'm the one with colors galour of eyeshadows. She's basically stolen my entire collection until we can regather this weekend.
     If I'm not mistaken, she's going to let me help her with this look she's working on and she even agreed to put on some fancy falsies for it!! This is so fun! Can't wait to post about it.

Here is my new website!: http://makeupfanaticme.wix.com/makeupfanaticme

     Guess what's weird? I actually quite enjoyed my music class today. Why? Because we spent basically the entire time talking about Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana". You know the song I'm talking about, just google it and give it a listen. You'll want to give yourself a palm to the face for being so silly for having not recognized it right off the bat. Not only did we listen to the piece today in class, but we also listened to a fair share of covers made off of it. Including some silly dude who thought he could pull off a cover of this amazing piece on the banjo...right. No.
     I was also shocked to learn what this piece was all about. When my professor said that the best group to ever perform this would be The Mormon Tabernacle Choir I thought, "Yes!" but then he said we could only dream. As if they would ever do a piece like that. Why, you make ask? Because apparently this piece is all about fate, alcohol and sex. What?? I immediately became slightly embarrassed for my own participation in the performance of this piece a few years ago my freshman year in college. Why does it have to be about that?? It sounds so cool!! Oh well, it sounds awesome, and we all had a good laugh in class. Haha.

My five for the day:

1. The sun is out today!

2. My hair only took me about two minutes to do this morning AND its down today

3. Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" is officially my favorite piece now

4. There were doughnuts in the office today

5. I would LOVE to do a video of my own crazy color look!

It's halfway through the week, we're almost there!

The 100 Day Challenge Is Here...Tomorrow!

     I will ease your minds by telling you now that I did NOT conveniently title this post as to what it is, because I'm procrastinating my challenge another day. It simply will not begin until April 1, 2015. You may all breathe a sigh of relief. You're Welcome. As to WHAT my challenge will be, well there are just SO MANY things I could do, it's still kind of in the air.

     I do need to try and make it something in which I could work on while in the hospital for two weeks. Yeah, remember that surgery that's about to happen? Right. So, it can't really be "go running two miles every morning". If it something I can work on, conveniently holding it in my lap, whether that be a laptop or a book that would be nice. I already want to knock off some really good books this summer, so I thought I'd put that aside, as it's something I've done before and I want to explore something new.

     So... I thought I might venture into the unknown. What something I haven't done before? Well, I kind of miss working on my beauty blog and making videos, why not try to expand on that? Hey, I even thought I might make a website to put all my photos, videos, and blog links on. Whoopee!! I'm bouncing in my seat as I'm writing this. I can't want to start it up again! We'll see if this blog suffers because of it, I hope not. Haha.
   

      What do you think of my intended challenge? I'm excited and guess that's what's important, right? If you're motivated to do it that's good, right?

My five for the day:

1. There's only two weeks of school left!!!

2. It's NOT forecast to snow on Thursday anymore!

3. A toasted bagel with butter for breakfast is actually very yummy

4. I can't wait to start my 100 day challenge!

5. Being motivated for something makes me feel good

Do you think my enthusiasm is too much? Ha. Well, I don't care, this is going to be awesome!

Cheers to a good week! :)
