Seasons A.D.D.

So I have self diagnosed my self with what I am calling Seasons A.D.D. (yes, I made it up...whatever)because let's face it-it is only July and I am ready for Fall. I need my Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pink sweatshirts, yoga leggings, and to burn my Fall Festival candle. I basically need to be a typical white girl (I've learned to just embrace it).
I always get bored of the seasons so quickly. Half way through each one I am ready for the next. Now Fall is my all time favorite season and call me crazy but I also thoroughly enjoy Winter. I love the look of fresh snow on the ground and just the smell of the air in Winter. (I said you could call me crazy. But Winter air really does have a smell). There are things I don't enjoy about Winter, like when it gets below zero degrees out or when I have to scrap my car off every morning and most of all driving in hazardous conditions. But nothing can beat the Holiday season. Christmas is my favorite holiday and since I no longer work in retail (which sucks the Christmas spirit out of you before Thanksgiving even hits) I can truly enjoy the season. But then January comes and I am pretty much over Winter and ready for Spring. Mostly because Spring means April which means my birthday( the 24th if you would like to send cards or gifts!! :) I enjoy Spring because by that time I am over being freezing every time I step outside and am ready for it to be warm (but not hot yet) I feel like here in Cincinnati we usually skip over Fall and Spring and just dive head first into Winter and Summer and that makes me angry. I need ALL four seasons, I don't think that is too much to ask. Spring means the flowers start to bloom and everything looks new. Then June comes and it is Summer. Shockingly to most people, Summer is my least favorite season. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy some aspects of it, cause believe me I do!  But since I am now an adult (completely against my will) and no longer in school. Summer no longer means 3 whole months of freedom to pretty much do whatever I want (or nothing at all). I now still have to work 9-5, 5 days a week no matter what season it is. So I don't have much time for swimming or laying out, basically all the things that make Summer great.
I would much rather be cold than hot. When I am hot it is like my body shuts down and I cannot do anything. I feel completely disgusting, it is just not a pretty picture and I tend to get aggravated and (I've heard) slightly mean. My family always makes fun of me because I really don't enjoy the outdoors, I freak out over any sort of insect, extreme temperatures aren't my thing, and can I help it if I just like to be inside?No, I cannot. It is one of my few flaws. (Just kidding, I could write a novel of flaws!)Because you know that the indoors is where it’s at. | 32 Signs You're Not An Outdoor Person At All
Anyways, I don't think I could ever move somewhere where the seasons didn't change because I would go crazy, thus explaining my made up Seasons A.D.D. Now I can't be the only one with this problem (is it a problem? I don't know) but it is something. And please don't shoot me for not being a Summer girl... :P 

Ps. I feel like these are long posts about really nothing. Should posts be this long? Does it matter? Oh well, to each their own. Mine are long apparently so if you made it this far-Congrats! and thank you!!

Hey Hi Hello

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my Blog!!
Let me just start off by saying that it is NOT easy coming up with a bog name, let alone a clever one. It took me a long (and I mean long) time to come up with this title and I'm still not even sure it is that great. But I digress, I chose it because I have been OBSESSED with beauty and makeup for the past year or so. I started watching all these YouTube beauty bloggers and fell in love! Jaclyn Hill is my all time favorite beauty guru. Everything she says I believe 100%. Her channel is like my Bible. (I am pretty sure that is completely sacrilegious, and I know it is a tad obsessive) but she knows her shit.
Anyways, I have been trying to blog for years and years now. I started one years ago and posted about 2 things that in my opinion, and I'm sure other people's, were just dumb. I had 2 subscribers (is that what they are called on here?) one was my sister Carrie, who encouraged me to start the blog, and the other was my best friend Brittany who I FORCED to follow me. Needless to say, I gave up on that. So blah blah blah that brings us here to 2014 and I am going to try and actually keep up with this blog. It won't be all about make-up it will just be a hodgepodge of randomness (thus is my life). I am learning how to do this whole thing so bare with me!
That is probably more than enough for my 1st post. Until next time...

xoxo
