Links I'm Loving

I’ve been really loving getting on random sites lately, and a ton of the blogs I follow have been having some awesome posts lately too!  So for today’s post I figured I’d share some of the greatness with you guys!  Let me know in the comments below what you think!  And don’t forget to let me know what YOU have been loving!

“28 Problems Every Type-A Person Will Understand”
Being completely Type-A, I could totally relate to this post.  Even if you aren’t this type of person, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of it!

“33 Amazingly Useful Website You Never Knew Existed”
There are a TON of useful sites in here!  Check them out!

Pinterest
I definitely go through phases with certain social media sites, and Pinterest is o ne of them.  Lately, I’ve been loving it, especially since I now use it for my second job.  I’ve recently revamped my own profile and have been using it a ton.  If you don’t follow me, check out my page here:

“Etiquette Essentials: Networking”
As someone who is new on the jobforce and is always looking for new job opportunities, this was an extremely interesting and useful post.  It’s always great to have these things re-told again and again, even if you’ve heard them previously.

“24 Life-Changing Ways to Store Your Beauty Products”
Being a makeup junkie can be a dauting task.  Storage is always an issue.  This post on Cosmo has so many creative and brilliant ideas – all using everyday objects and tools that I never would have thought to bring into my storage.  If you’re looking to change up your storage and become more organized, I highly recommend checking out this link!

Hey Everyone!

How is everyone doing today?  I hope you’re all doing well!  I’m currently sitting/lying in bed with a mug of decaf chai attempting to relax though I’m not feeling so hot right now.  I hope I’m not coming down with something.   Things have been very hectic and difficult on my end lately, so posting on the blog has gone a tad haywire.  Thanks for sticking around during the insanity!  I’m hoping to be back on schedule next week.  In the meantime, I haven’t done an “update” post in quite some time, so I figured now’s the perfect time for us all to play catch up.

Getting my hair chopped tomorrow.  I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing to it in any way/shape/form.  It just needs some TLC very badly.  I like Emily S’s style from “Cupcakes and Cashmere,” but I’m horrible when it comes to blow-drying my hair.  So there’s that.  Other than that, I haven’t really thought about it.  Girl problems, am I right?

This really isn’t exciting by any means, but I really like my new desktop background on my computer.  I have this picture (also on my Tumblr!):



I’ve also been really loving the “Favorite Coffee House” playlist on Spotify.  It’s my go-to work time playlist.

Now that this post has become completely random, I shall say goodbye…. GOODBYE!

Be sure to leave blog post and video requests in the comments below!  I would love to hear from you guys, and it would definitely help me out a ton!

Until Next Time, Happy Reading!
Allison

Books To Read

I’ve always loved reading.  I remember back in the first grade, I told people I liked to read, I was met with an “ewww gross!” or “you’re weird!”  That didn’t stop me though.  I’ve always enjoyed a good book or magazine, and that’s something that helped make the decision to become an English major much easier.  So today, I’d like to give you all a list of books that I’d suggest to anyone to read (in no particular order).  Be sure to let me know in the comments what books YOU suggest to me, as well as what you personal thought about the books I’m mentioning!

1.     Pride and Prejudice
2.     The Scarlet Letter
3.     A Game of Thrones (series)
4.     My Hands Came Away Red
5.     Harry Potter (series)
6.     Divergent (series)
7.     Hamlet

9.     All Quiet on the Western Front
10. The Iliad

12. Mr. Darcy’s Diary
13. A Bend in the Road
14. The Lucky One
15. Safe Haven
16. The Hunger Games (series)
17. The Truth About Forever
18. The Rescue
19. The Perks of Being A Wallflower
20. Pretty Little Liars (series)
