Top Ten Favorite Quotes for Tuesday

I know quoting things and living by quotes is very middle-school, make a myspace, share every feeling by using someone else's words type of thing to do. However, I do stumbleupon some very inspiring quotes every now and again that either make me smile or kindly remind me that some things are more important than others. I even feel fresh and brand new when reading something that compels me to feel more positive about life. Enough about me, more about the quotes! Enjoy!


1. “All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney


2. “20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the one’s you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” - Mark Twain


3. "Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it." - Bill Cosby 


4. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Albert Einstein 

5."Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present, and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future." - Audrey Hepburn

6."What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

7. " If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." - Thomas A. Edison

8. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss 

9. "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt

10. "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." - Ernest Hemmingway

The last one is a personal favorite. So very true and comical. A laugh is always a good way to close a post.

Taylor Swift Thursday

In honor of my slight obsession with Taylor Swift and just because I've been driving Cindi crazy by playing it all day; it will officially become Taylor Swift Thursdays. I have to admit that she can really crank out a girly tune in which I always catch myself singing along. From belting break-up songs to heartfelt piano ballads to effervescent revenge songs that make you believe you're singing about love rather than hate, i love it all. If I'm in a terrible mood, I just blast some Taylor (no last name needed, we're that tight) and I feel much better. I suggest everyone to at least try and hop on the Taylor Train. 
Fun Fact: the song Haunted was featured in last weeks True Blood episode.

(Haunted - Taylor Swift)

50 Classics for your closet

 Here's a checklist we think every girl should have or should at least consider. It makes the whole waking
up in the morning and not knowing what to wear feeling go away a lot smoother, because most of these
basics can easily be paired up together. And on your way to work or school you know you look like 
less of a hot mess (a.k.a I just woke up and have five minutes to get dressed).

Lizzie McGuire Pregnant! I'm too old for this...


OK. Breathe. I'm not old. Not even close. However, when my childhood idol, Lizzie McGuire, also respectably known as Hilary Duff announced her pregnancy, I had to pause. I watched every episode and swore all my awkward middle school run-ins with boys, mean girls and parents happened just like Lizzie's did. Right down to the obnoxious and weird younger brother.I even tried to dress in her funky clothing and colorful taste, although most of the time I ended up looking like I got dressed in a dark closet.
So, when I think about Lizzie having a child, a little part of me weeps because I know I'm no longer 10 anymore and I am, in fact, getting old...er. It's okay though, we all grow up. Even Lizzie.

I'm just waiting until Miley Cyrus has a kid...then I'll start to worrying about those age spots.
