Best Songs of 2012

In 2012 there were some really fab songs (and some not so great ones). In my opinion these songs really were the best of 2012. This is just my opinion and if you have some different ideas of what were the best songs I would love for you to post them in a comment below.

1. What makes you beautiful, by One Direction- I say this because I think it really jump started their career and I heard it so many times on the radio and couldn't help singing along.
2. We are Never Getting Back Together, by Taylor Swift- I think that it is really catchy and cute.
3. Some Nights, by Fun- I love the vocals on this song.
4. Call Me Maybe, by Carley Rae Jepson- The nation couldn't stop singing it.
5. Drive By, by Train- The vocals were really rich and the music video was cool.
6. Stronger, by Kelly Clarkson- It proved a point that won't kill you will make you stronger and uplifted many souls.
7. It will Rain, by Bruno Mars- I have always been a fan of Bruno Mars and this so g was espeshilly good because it pours out his heart.
8. Super Bass, by Nikki Manaj- I was the perfect dancing song and everyone had to know every last word of it.
9. A Thousand Years, by Christina Perri- It touched many hearts and was even featured in the last Twilight movie.
10. Better Dig Two, by The Band Perry- It may be a country song but the vocals and lyrics are astonishing. And the song overall relays an important message.

We Heart It

So I was introduced to a really cool new site called We Heart It (weheartit.com). It's a site where you can look at pictures. I like it because you can see cute hairstyles, vintage, wedding stuff, and really anything because it is endless. You could even upload a picture from another site. It is so cute! I want to thank my friend Hannah for getting me into it, and my friend Jordyn for constantly showing me new things. I would recommend getting your friends into it because its always fun to see what they heart. I just think it's a cute website like tumbler or twitter and wanted to share it with you guys.

Sample Boxes

The cutest new way to try out items is sample boxes. You pay a certain subscription price, just like magazines to have the boxes shipped to you. These are boxes that are sent to you via mail and they contain cute little items that are new and 'in'. The can have makeup or nail polish or cute pens and notes. Some are better than others, but I simply adore them. These are some sites were you too can get sample boxes: www.loosebutton.com  http://www.birchbox.com/?raf=x4c8a and http://www.zadidoll.com/p/subscriptionsampling-boxes.html . These are my favorites.

The Shooting in Connecticut

A man killed his mother at home and then opened fire Friday inside a Connecticut elementary school, massacring 26 people, including 20 young children, as youngsters cowered in their classrooms and trembled helplessly to the sound of gunfire reverberating through the building.

The shooter, who sources identified as Adam Lanza, 20, shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, in the face at their home in Newtown, Conn., then went to nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School where she taught and gunned down her entire class, bringing the death toll to 28, according to sources.

Lanza was found dead inside the school, according to officials. Eighteen of the children and six more adults were dead at the school and two more children died later, according to Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance.

The shooter was Ryan Lanza, 24. 

The rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nation's second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 33 lives in 2007.

Law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity said that Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, then drove to the school in her car with at least three guns, including a high-powered rifle that he apparently left in the back of the vehicle, and shot up two classrooms around 9:30 a.m.

A custodian ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack -- and perhaps saving many lives -- by letting them hear the hysteria going on in the school office, a teacher said. Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building.

The vehicle the suspect drove to the school was registered to his mother. At least three guns were found -- a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car, authorities said.

Sources told Fox News the guns used in the shooting were owned by and legally registered to Nancy Lanza.

Most of the children were between age 5 and 10  it makes me cry to thank what a world it is where you aren't even safe in your own school. These children had their whe lives ahead of them they could have had children of their own, marriages, graduation, hopes, dreams. But they were stripped of that so young. The parents probally already had presents from Santa hiding in their closet or garage. Those presents won't be opened and they will have to face that. No parent should ever have to bury their child. So on Monday wear blue, the school color, in remembrance of those young children who were killed in the mass murder. 

Mani Monday: Neon and Gold Nail Tutorial

Hi loves! I was browsing and came across this way cute nail design that anyone can do. It's perfect for Mani Monday. (:

1. First paint your nails a neon pink color. You can actually use any color you want, but I thought the neon pink was fun and girly! Try using “Forget Me Nots” by Essie—it’s a gorgeous strawberry milkshake pink!

2. Then, starting from the middle of your nail and going from left to right, paint diagonally with a different colored polish. She used a bright orange polish from American Apparel called “Neon Coral.” It’s ok if your line isn’t perfectly straight because you’re going to paint over it next!

3. Using a nail art pen, paint over the diagonal line between both polish colors. I love how she used a metallic gold color because it adds contrast and makes it super cute.If you don't have a nail pen use use tape on step 2 and 3 to make the lines straight.

Just finish off with a clear topcoat and there you have it! These nails are pretty bright, but I think that’s what makes them so fun. You can give your colors a fall update by using gray, maroon, dark green, navy, or eggplant. It’s really up to you!
