Music For Your Ears - 3

WELCOME HOME,

that was weird...but anyways

HEY GUYS,
So I decided to do another music for your ears blog!
I've been super stressed out with school lately...it's just kicking my butt...so music has been a big way to relax myself, so here are some song that I hope you like :)

1.) Bastille (Cover)  - What Would You Do?


1.) Bastille (Cover)  - What Would You Do?
As soon as I heard this song I instantly became obsessed. This version is just so beautiful, you guys should listen to all of their covers! These guys are beyond talented! They're amazing!


2.) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love Feat. Mary Lambert
This song is just so beautiful. The voices, the lyrics, the message. Everything about this song is just so real, I just love everything about it.



3.) Plain White T's - Rhythm Of Love
Personally, I love the Plain White T's so as soon as I knew they sang this song I was like "yup, forsure gonna like it" and I do! I think it's such a cute song! I love the part where it talks about the girls blue eyes cause well, I have blue eyes, so I think that's also why I like it so much...hehehe :)


4.) Hoodie Allen - Feel The Love
I am a MASSIVE Hoddie Allen fan, and this song just made my obsession with him grow! Lol
It's different than his other ones, but it's the perfect jam for getting ready and it's fun to learn the words and just sing along with it! haha


5.) Down With Webster - Your Man
This is just overall a fun song! I love just jamminn out to it in my room alone, or in my car, or wherever I go! I heard this song about 3-4 years ago and I still haven't gotten tired of it! I love Down With Webster, seriously all their songs are so good!


6.) Miley Cyrus (Cover) - You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
I absolutely love Bob Dylan, he is a legend, and when I heard that Miley was going to sing this song I was a little iffy about it but after I heard it I just seriously wanted to applaud her. She did the song justice, and I also like that she didn't just do a cover for it, she changed it to fit her vocals better and she did a beautiful job on it. Such a beautiful song, I am obsessed with this song as well.



7.) Norwegian Recycling  - Good Time (Mash-Up)
THIS IS THE PERFECT SUMMER SONG! that says it all, just listen to it and you'll see what I mean!



8.) Norwegian Recycling - How Six Songs Collide (Mash-Up)
I saved the best for last, this is an absolute favorite of mine.
Norwegian Recycling is absolutely amazing, I first heard this song about 5 years ago and I was beyond impressed and fascinated. They are so talented, it completely blows my mind how they created it. It sounds as if it was one song, not six. All of these songs are so beautiful so for them to put them all together and create one song with all of them is amazing!
They have alot more songs, such as the one above this one, so check them out! :)

So those were some of the songs I wanted to share with you guys,
I hope you like them :)
Well, that's it for toodayyy, come back again for more :)

Learning Through Pictures

HEY GUYS,

So I was looking through my pics of iPhoto and I thought I would do a blog about some of my favorite photos or photos that mean something to me!

My 19th birthday was one of the best ones and one of the worst ones. I got to a new camera, which to this day has been one of the best present I've ever gotten! And the picture to the top left corner was the first picture I took with it :) It was such an unbelievable and special birthday, but I usually share this birthday with my grandpa and this past summer was my first birthday without him.

For my 19th, I had a "Breakfast At Tiffany's" themed brunch and I absolutely loved it!
I  love having themed birthday parties, and so far, this has been my absolute favorite!! <3

This past summer I went to LA, and OH MY GOD! It was an absolute dream!
I fell in love with the city, and I am planning on moving there in the near future! There are so many things to do there, and it's just a place that never stops moving, I just love that.

We also went on the Warner Brothers tour, and it was AMAZING!!! I am a HUGE Friends fan, so the fact that I got to take a picture outside the set, and I got to first of all, just be in Central Perk, let alone touch that couch and take a picture....I died.

While being there, I obviously, went to Disneyland. Now let me tell you a little something about my family...WE LOVE DISNEY, we have literally being going to DisneyWorld every year since 2006! :O So we just had to go, and plus this was out first time going to Disneyland!!

While being there we also went to San Diego to visit family. Also, another city that's just beautiful. It's completely different than LA, the weather is so nice, there's so many beaches around, and everything about it is just amazing! Although, I did get dizzy when we drove around because everything's so far away and you go up and down hills a lot haha

I love going to the beach, and now that I got a fancy camera I try to take as many pictures as I can, and I try to capture the beauty of nature. 

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday, so here are some pics of some Christmas' of the past few years that I like. The one of the top left corner was when I got my first car 3 years ago...yes I am crying, I'm a cry baby haha

My senior year of highschool, 12th grade, was one of the best ones I've had. It was such an unbelievable year,  and I became and remained friends with some people that impacted my life. I don't think they know how much meeting them meant to me.

These are my sisters. These are the people that I can be my complete self with, and I can just honestly say can't live without them. They have been there at the best times of my life and at the worse, they have picked me up when I needed to be picked up, and they have been complete fools with me as well... haha we're not really that normal...

This picture was taken at the candle light of my friend that passed at the place of the accident the day after. We were all standing there mourning the unexplainable and being there for each other, I am so glad that someone took a picture of this, because it is one of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen.

These are my pets, Coco and Domino. Coco is the Yorkie and she's a spoiled brat haha but she's just the sweetest and Domino is the Dalmatian, he sadly passed away in December, he was almost 16 years old, which for Dalmatians is beyond the average!

I can honestly say that these two guys are the best people ever!! They are my absolute role models, and I am beyond lucky to be able to call them my grandparents, no matter what happens <3

These are just some random pics of my family, haha the one on the left corner was my sister, my cousin and I kayaking at the lake for the first time...hahah, the one next to it is my family and I with our camping tshirts for the camping trip we did in honor of my grandpa. The one next to it is my sister and I at Wurstfest! NOW I am really proud of the picture on the bottom left corner, I DID THAT! I made a heart shaped braid on my cousins' hair hehe well I know it isn't perfect but hey I tried hehe


Well thank you for reading, and hopefully you learned something new about me!

Hope you enjoyed and come back for more :)

Sunday's Rolercoaster


Excuse my weirdness in this pic..I'm running on 4 hours of sleep...

Hey guys, 
First off I would like to say....HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!
Well, it's not Sunday anymore, but it was when I started writing this post, but then I fell asleep haha

So as we all know today was the Super Bowl, exciting stuff right?
The teams that played were the Baltimore Ravens vs. the San Francisco 49ers, which to be quite honest wasn't of preference of either team, but I guess if I had to choose I would've liked the 49ers to win but that wasn't the case. So CONGRATS RAVENS, you were the Super Bowl Champs of 2013!
But...let's be honest here...mostly everyone who reads this won't be that interested in this now will we?
Well I wanna point out a few highlights that I had in my super bowl 2013 shindig,

1.) ALL HAIL QUEEN B.


Beyonce.Is.A.Goddess. Legitimately, she is not human, she is just a perfect being. 
Her performance at half time was just breath taking, here's a video of it (it's the best one I could find where they show her whole performance).



Like HELLO!!! who isn't in love with her after that? 
AND A BIG PLUS.....Destiny's Child reunion? It just made me so happy!
I would die to go to one of her concerts, she is an amazing entertainer and is just full of incredible talent.
She's a badass.

2.) DID ANYONE BRING A FLASHLIGHT?

Ummm....what was up with that 45 minute power outage after Beyonce's performance? Like what?
Shouldn't they be prepared for that kind of stuff? 
Each Super Bowl performance, every year, takes up so much energy. Shall we remember when the Black Eyed Peas performed, their show was pretty much based on cool lights and effects, obviously a half time performace is going to take so much energy, so you would think that they would be a little more prepared...apparently not. Ugh, and then the illuminati accusations began...if you believe in that then I'm sorry if what I'm about to say offends you in anyway, each of us are entitled to our own opinions and I respect yours but this is mine. THAT IS SO STUPID! People obsess about this stuff and start saying that every artist or actor or overall celebrity that is extremely popular must be in the illuminati...not like they're extremely talented or anything..it just really annoys me (but enough of my rant), where I was going with this is that since it was after Beyonce's performance everyone just went off about how it was her or whatever, like check these tweets out;




She's not doing the illuminati sign, thats the Roc Republic sign. Roc Republic is an entertaining company that works with artists, music producers, song writers, etc. Jay-Z, Kayne, and a lot more are involved with Roc Republic and they all do that sign...like get outta here!
ANYWAYS, the lights were off for like 45 mins and it just really backed the game up...not fun when you wanna go home because you're exhausted and still need to do loads of homework :( but oh well...

3.) THE RAVENS TAKE HOME THE BIG WIN!

Well...yeah, they won...that's it...haha

4.) (A Sadder Highlight) POOR COCO

This is actually a sad story, so brace yourselves.
So, when we got home we took my little pup outside to do her business, well yeah whatever we come inside blablabla and all of a sudden we see her limping and then blood stains on the floor. OBVIOUSLY we freaked!! We took a closer look and realized that one of her nails came off D:
I'm guessing it got stuck on something and it just came off, but it was so sad! 
Here's a pic of the injured baby!

We made her a little cast for her foot so she wouldn't be hurting it anymore haha very homemade!
We took her to the vet today and they just told us to treat it like any other injury, and to keep her little foot clean, and to keep an eye on her and in about a week she'll be better.
It's just so sad to see her down :(
It breaks my heart, so hopefully she'll get better and will be back to her normal self again!

Well that was my semi-eventful Sunday, what was yours like?

Thank you for reading, and come back for more :)

Andrea R.

If any of you were interested on if I did my homework or not, no I did not, I literally got home started writing this post and fell asleep in the process haha but #YOLO...jk school comes first, so I gotta organize my time better because I really wanted to post this last night but I couldn't :(

Music For Your Ears - 2



Hey guys,
So I thought I would share with you guys once again some of the songs that have been stuck in my head recently :)


Sweet Nothing - Florence Welch ft. Calvin Harris
I just love Florence and Calvin Harris and when I head this song and it was just an instantly my jam!


Between The Raindrops - Lifehouse ft. Natasha Bedingfield
I have legitimately been listening to this song every single day for the past week, it just gets to me for some reason, it's so beautiful. I am a huge fan of them both.


Thrift Shop - Pentatonix (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Cover)
So everyone has been obsessed with this song recently, including myself, and I thought this cover was really cool and original and accapella which makes it so much more unique.


Crystal Clear - Opus Orange
This is actually not a new song, at all, but when I was thinking of songs to put on this post I had to put this one. It's such a good, chill, different song. It's different from a lot of music I hear nowadays, it just puts me in a good mood!


Call Your Girlfriend - Lennon & Maisy Stella (Robyn Cover)
Yes, another cover, but no these girls are AMAZING. They are the definition of talent, watch all of their videos, it's just unreal the amount of talent these girls have at such a young age.


Hold On - Alabama Shakes
Her voice is unreal. This is an amazing band, and their sound is just so original! They have become one of my favorite bands.


Bleeding Out - The Lone Bellow
I actually found this because it was free on iTunes and it's one of those songs that you can just listen to it whenever and it kinda puts you in this mellow, reflecting about your life, inspirational kind of moods...you know?

AND LASTLY,


Bright Lights - Gary Clark Jr.
All I can say is that his music is real, it's kind of got that older jazzy tune along with more modern instruments. This is just the perfect to either jam out too, or just be chilling in your room and just be at peace. I absolutely love it.

SO there you have it, some of my favorite songs of the week!
What are some of YOUR favorite songs? :)

Hope you enjoy them, and come back for more :)
