1989 Made Me Love T. Swift Again

It's been awhile since Taylor Swift released her latest album, 1989, and I'm sure many of of you have already heard of it or listened to some of the songs. And if you haven't, you should. But that's not what this post is going to be about. Lately, I have noticed that Taylor Swift has been getting a lot of criticism for her music, personality, fashion and relationships. I'm not saying that I am the biggest fan of Taylor Swift but I would like to think her new album helped people realize that all of that criticism was not all reserved.

Let me tell you the story of my perception of Taylor Swift from her first album. After her first album, Taylor Swift, was released, I didn't really know her and it wasn't until her second album that I heard about her first one. Once I borrowed her second album, Fearless, I listened to nearly all of her songs and I would have considered myself a pretty big fan of her. By the time Speak Now came up, Taylor Swift kind of disappeared from the media screen or maybe her presence just decreased but either way I only listened to a few of her songs.

I barely listened to any of Taylor Swift's songs from Red and it seemed like everyone suddenly became against her. All of a sudden it seemed like everyone started to hate her. Everyone seemed to constantly point out her multiple boyfriends or her rather personal lyrics or her very red lipstick and criticize her for all of it. And at the time, I didn't think much of it, in fact, I also stopped liking her and took on what everyone else told me to think of her. 

But once I heard her latest album, I realized that all of the bad things that everyone once said about her didn't change the way she acted and she just kept doing what she wanted to do and for that, I respect her. It doesn't matter whether I like her clothing or her songs but I still respect her as a person. 

And to conclude the story of my perceptions of Taylor Swift: I have her Out of the Woods stuck in my head.

Maybe the title of my post was a little bit misleading, I may not LOVE Taylor Swift but I am happy to admit that I learned that even though I don't love her, she stills deserves my respect.

Hope I didn't sound way too preachy or annoying but feel free to leave your opinions of her new album and any songs that you like/don't like in it.

Shay Mitchell's New Youtube Channel

I am a big fan of Shay Mitchell, so when I heard that she started her own official Youtube channel, I immediately checked it out.

Shay Mitchell is without a doubt, a great actress and insanely gorgeous but it was nice to be able to see her in a different, more personal way. Shay has a rather big social media presence but I was initially unsure whether a youtube channel was the best way for her fans to get to see her.

But I am glad to say that she went far beyond my expectations. As an actress with plenty of experience in front of a camera, her first video was far from the usual awkward and poor-quality videos usually seen.

As of today, she has two videos and one trailer for her channel and over 100,000 subscribers.

Her current two videos are one being a fashion vlog and the other being a question and answer and house tour. In her vlog, Shay looked amazing in her gingham dress and I would be lying if I said that I didn't do a quick search for one like it. But - I do have to admit - that the ending was a bit cheesy. In the end Shay comments about how winning doesn't matter and talked about how losing is okay. Usually, I would find that inspiring but she was talking about losing a corn maze, which I thought was making a big deal out of nothing.

The question and answer video was impressive since she managed to incorporate a house tour in it as well. I think its a great idea to have such an extensive question and answer video during the beginning of a channel.

Overall, I like Shay Mitchell's youtube channel and I can't wait to watch her upcoming videos! Comment letting me know how you feel about her channel and videos.

100 Bloglovin' Followers!

Hi everybody! I am so excited to announce that I officially have over 100 followers on Bloglovin'!

I would like to thank every single one of my readers and followers for offering their advice and constructive criticism ever since I first started writing. Without people reading and commenting on my posts, the quality would not be nearly as great.

Throughout all the time I spent writing for my blog, I have learned so much about topics I should write about and how to write them. I also changed from a book blog to a more personal blog.

In honor of my 100 followers, I have decided to create a Pinterest. I am not social media savvy but I decided to do this because I feel that since my blog is growing, my social media accounts should be too. I am still pretty new at the whole pinning thing so please offer your advice and tell me about some people to follow and so on.

Once again I would like to thank everyone for reading and leaving such nice comments!

"New" Glasses

I change my glasses frames every year and it seems that each year they get better and better. And these glasses aren't particularly new because I have had them for about a month but it isn't up until now that I have gotten used to looking at myself in the mirror with them on.

I usually have smaller black or brown frames but this time I decided on a pinkish brown color and huge frames. I am a bit on the smaller side (five feet tall) so my face isn't really big either so the frames look even bigger.

Needless to say, the case is really cute too. They are a bit of a different type of case than I am used to but my glasses still fit in really snug. However, I wish that the case were a bit harder just to protect my glasses if it falls. But I probably shouldn't complain since my glasses are always on my face unless I'm sleeping or showering and so on. And just in case you were wondering these glasses are from MarchoNYC.

Although they might not fit my face the EXACT way that I want them to, I love them. Comment letting me know if you love to change your glasses frames (which type do you prefer) or use contacts instead.
