So be yourself! Watch romantic comedies. Listen to sad, sweet love songs until you’ve cried all the tears that you can. Pick up a stray animal and give to the less fortunate. Don’t sacrifice who you are or what makes you happy just because others aren’t comfortable with it. Be the tender, sensitive, sweet woman that you are and be damn proud of it!

2015 in finally here and I am so excited! A new year means a new list of awesome bands and artists touring! Every year my boyfriend and I weigh out all of our options in regards to music festivals. We want to find the BEST music festival in the US to attend each year. The lineup of the music festival is our #1 deciding factor when choosing a festival to attend. We also want to make sure that we are getting a lot of “BASS” for our buck! We don’t typically like “themed” festivals. We want a little bit of everything when we attend a music festival. We aren’t closed minded with the genres that we listen to. We love it all! One thing that is a MUST for us to attend a music festival is an old or classic rock band as a headliner. We want to see a band that we have listened to for years. There is nothing like a Rock concert with a badass band that will ROCK all night long!

Are you searching for the perfect gift for your husband, wife, friend, or coworker this Valentine’s Day? Most of us just stick to candy and flowers for Valentine’s day. I think that every woman would appreciate flowers and chocolates. It is always nice to receive gifts of love. While we may appreciate it, we expect it. Sometimes the expected is good, but boy the unexpected can really make someone’s day. If you are in the habit of giving perishable items maybe you should switch things up this year. Give them something that they can keep forever.

Hey everyone! I have an exciting announcement! Being that I have a degree in Music Production and a passion for writing, I figured it was time for me to get the ball rolling!

You can expect everything from…

If you know me at all, you know that I am a risk taker when it comes to trying new and exciting foods. If I had it my way, I would try a new food every week. Life isn’t that giving though, so I do what I can. I love trying exotic foods, as well as weird combinations. I have eaten a lot of unique foods in my lifetime. I am comfortable saying that I know a good quality meat when I find one. My boyfriend is more experienced with foods than I am though. He is very cultured and has a bit of a passion for cooking. I love it because he has taught me a thing or two about meats.

That’s right folks! The boyfriend and I made sushi at home for the first time. We are HUGE sushi lovers. If it were cheaper, we would probably eat it every other day. Being the fans that we are, we have always wanted to make our own sushi. We have mentioned it for a few times in the past year, but we have never actually taken the steps to do it ourselves. When I seen the SushiQuik sushi making kit on TV a few weeks ago, I thought, “THAT is exactly what we need!” Well, for once, I was right.

If you aren’t a frugal shopper then you are wasting money for no reason. Whether I have extra money or I am scraping pennies, I shop wisely. No, I am not a couponer. I don’t search for coupons in every paper and I don’t shop for things just because they are on sale. I do not have anything against people who clip coupons at all. It just isn’t something that I spend time doing. However, if there is a coupon that I find, I will most definitely use it. I am referring to shopping IN stores.

Hello pet parents! If you have a pet you know how important their happiness and comfort is. I have 3 absolutely spoiled cats. They have treats, toys, beds, catnip, and a cat tree. Cats love new places to hide, sleep, and play. There are times when I have to thoroughly search for them because they have somehow found a new area to hide and sleep. When shopping for your pets, how do you choose the very best products to fit their needs? Do you shop based on the brand?
