Hey everyone! This month I've been listening to a lot of different music. I've put together (yet again) a collection of songs I've been listening to. If you haven't heard any of this songs, give a listen!
PS: (Watch #1's video... It's the most adorable video I'm sure will make you smile!)
As everyone obviously knows, The Hunger Games came out March 23. I saw it the day it came out, and it was nothing less than perfection. For those who have not read the books or seen the movie, The Hunger Games is years after North America has been destroyed. The Capitol is in charge of what's left of North America- a country called Panem. Panem is divided into twelve districts. Katniss Everdeen is from District 12 and is sixteen years old. Katniss hunts in the woods with her longtime friend, Gale where they receive the food for their families (a skill that becomes a great advantage in the Games). On the day of the Reaping- (The Reaping is the day when one male and one female are chosen from each district to compete in the Games) Katniss sister is chosen to compete in the Games when Katniss volunteers for her very young sister, Primrose.
The Games are gruesome and brutal, where all twenty-four players, or tributes, are forced to fight each other to the death in an area staged by the 'Gamemakers' and is broad casted on national television. Katniss faces many obstacles and problems throughout this experience, as well as her fellow tribute Peeta who was chosen as the male from District 12. SPOILER... Peeta and Katniss may or may not develop feelings for each other... I'm not going to say anything else about movie details until a few more posts so you all have time to finish reading the book or watch the movie!
Many people have misconceptions about this book, being that teenagers are forced against their will to fight each other to death- and they're right. But this isn't the true meaning of the book in my opinion. I believe it's supposed to ensure that with hope and confidence in yourself, you can accomplish anything- even if something is not in your odds.
Thanks for reading, and lookout for more Hunger Games inspired posts! Tweet this blog on your Twitters please!

*Disclaimer- Some of you may not like football or Tim Tebow or even the Denver Broncos, but I am doing this post regardless of "hater's" opinions or people who may not follow the same views as me. But if you do want to read, I hope you enjoy! (:
So, as some of you may know, Peyton Manning was cut from the Colts recently.
Many teams are interested in signing him for the 2012 NFL season, one being my favorite team... The Denver Broncos.
You may be thinking, "why wouldn't she want such an outstanding quarterback to play for her favorite team?" And I'll say, Peyton Manning is a phenominal quarterback. But, Denver betrayed their current quarterback (and my favorite player) Tim Tebow.
To those unfamiliar with Tebow's career, he has had two years of experience in the NFL since coming out of The University of Florida. Since then he has scored twelve NFL touchdowns as a quarterback and brought the Denver Broncos to the Playoffs in 2011.
What makes me mad is that Denver had already named Tebow their starting quarterback and had made it very, very clear that they had made no plans to change that status. What, now they jump at the chance to get another quarterback to replace one that did a good job?
Some may feel this is a good decision for Denver, but I don't see it that way. I think Denver is making a big mistake disowning Tim like this. And even if Denver doesn't sign Manning, I think Tebow should play for another team that fully appreciates his ability and can help him gain more experience and skills as a quarterback.
These are just my views on the current situation. Thanks for reading! Tell me your opinions in a comment!

Happy Friday everyone! Looking forward to the long weekend? Here are some fun ideas for activities to do by yourself or with friends.
Photo booth-time! Invite friends over, get a camera, and take fun, creative photos of you and your group!
Try a new TV show or have a movie marathon Go to a website like Hulu and watch episodes from your favorite shows- for free! Or, have a bunch of friends over and watch movies like The Twilight Saga, Abduction, or another selection.
Shopping Trip Try mall you've never been to, and shop! Even if you don't have money to spend, the ride up and the fun during the experience will be a trip well spent!
Girl's Night Out Hit the town and stop by a new restruant, spa, bowling alley, or friend's house, and let the fun begin!
Hope this was helpful for ideas of spending your weekend!

I'm sure many of you have seen Pretty Little Liars. It's an ABC Family television show that airs every Monday at 8 (Eastern Coast time). I am obsessed with it!
The show is about a group of girls by the names of Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily whose clique leader, Alison, suddenly goes missing. Years later, the body of Alison is found. The girls then try to get to the bottom of the mystery. Then, something even more horrifying occurs- Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily start getting mysterious texts from someone named 'A' who threatens to reveal their secrets and things that they thought had ended with Alison's death. Pretty Little Liars is a suspenseful, drama, and mystery TV show based on the book series by Sara Shepard. I would recommend checking it out!
Ok, so, if you do watch Pretty Little Liars, who is your favorite character or couple? What was most shocking to you? Who do you think 'A' is? Who wouldn't you trust?
My favorite person is Caleb, and my favorite couples would probably be Caleb and Hanna and Ezra and Aria. I think 'A' and Alison's murderer are either Garrett or Jenna, but I don't know what Spencer's father or Jason's deal is...
Let me know in the comments if you think I should post more about Pretty Little Liars or other TV shows! Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone!
Anyone excited for spring to come? I know I am! I'm starting a Spring Edition that will run for a few months. I will posting spring related posts and occasionally random posts. Each post will be something different. One may be fitness, another may be beauty, fashion or money saving advice, etc. Today's post is the first in the series. Here are some fashion tips for spring! Enjoy!
1. Each spring has new, unique trends but that doesn't mean you have to follow them! Buy what you like best but occasionally purchase out-of-the-box pieces (faux fur vests, platform heels, high waisted pants, etc.).
2. It's never too early to shop for summer clothes! Many department stores start putting out bathing suits and other summer related things around March and April. This is the best time to scout different bathing suits for summer.
3. Spring closet time! Go through those clothes you put away during winter and pull pieces out for those warm spring days!
4. Having a boring weekend? Have a clothes swap! Invite friends over and have them bring clothes they aren't liking and trade them! By the end you'll have some ah-mazing new outfits- and you paid nothing!
Hope you enjoyed! Look out for more Sping Edition posts!
God Bless,
Hannah
