Top Summer Road Trip Songs

I'm gearing up for a 4 hour road trip next weekend so I thought I would update my iPod and share the songs that I live for on long road trips and why I loooove them. Let's get started!

1. Anything by Bob Marley. Reggae is my favorite genre of music. It's calm, melodic, and most of the time has a message of love and fun. That pretty much sums up the summer for me!

2. Summer Nights by Florrie. I'm sure you've heard it. It's catchy and dance-y. A song about a summer fling with a boy " in the parking lot." Not the most meaningful lyrics, but its cute.

3. Brave by Sara Barielles. Say what you wanna saaaayy! She always has a meaning and I like that she plays an instrument and encourages people to be real. I used to play the piano sooo... she makes me wish I'd continue, but I like her voice too!

4. Safe and Sound. I have no idea who its by but I'm loving the sound. If you know who its by, please leave me a comment down below!

5. Get Lucky by Pharell Williams and Daft Punk. Love the 70's feel and guitar riffs. Makes me wanna spray glitter in my hair and wear bell bottoms!

6. I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris. Again with the techno-dance beat and the rave feeling you get. I am really getting into the techo-electronic sound, my workout playlist is full of it

7. Thrift Shop/ Can't Hold Us by Macklemore. The spawn of Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy has repped Seattle and brought two of the catchiest songs of the year. Who knew white boys had so much swag!

8.We Wont Be Shaken by Building 429- Love it! It's so inspirational and while its not Top 40, Christian Alternative Rock fills me with gratefulness and gratitude.

9. One More Night by Maroon 5. I got to see Maroon 5 in concert last summer and they sounded great! The tickets were 20.00 and to see them and Train was a great time!

10.Come and Get It by Selena Gomez. I know she can't sing, live or not. They made her sound fab in the studio. I like the Indian beat. I would like the song even if it was sung by someone else and it probably should have but hey, not hatin'.

So those are my top ten. What are some of yours?? Leave me a comment below!

Are YOU READY??

Football season!! Oh I've missed you. Please take the scandals of baseball out of the lime light. Now I know people say preseason isn't really football. My analogy is well the Original Cheerios aren't as great as Honey Nut Cheerios, but you still eat them, right?? So preseason whets my regular season appetite. So pour yourself a bowl because the Dallas Cowboys are playing today vs. the Arizona Cardinals at 4:30 pm. I think Carson Palmer needed the fresh start with a new team, but I really need to see something out of Tony Romo this year. I mean the guy is getting paid mucho moolah to throw interceptions? Time to step up Tony. Camp is over, strap on a pair and lets win some games!! 

So what team are you rooting for this year and why??

I Can See Clearly Now

The end is finally here! The journey has been long, hard, and ardous. But BREAKING NEWS!! I got my braces off today! I don't know how kids do it, years of painful adjustments, razor sharp wires and other gadgets. I'm so glad it's over- now back to loving corn on the cob, hamburgers, and Twix!! Don't judge me. Now that everything is gone, my mouth actually feels... empty. But I'll get over it, don't you worry!!

So if you've had braces, how did you feel when they came off? What was your celebration food?

Top 10 Tips for People Getting Braces!

I got my braces on October 31 in 2011. Total bummer- no Halloween candy for me. I decided at the age of 31 to get them just for totally selfish reasons: to boost my confidence in speaking to people. But once I got them on, I realized that there was so much I was not prepared for, mainly the pain and inconvenience of going back every 4-6 for MORE pain. So I decided to pick the top 10 things I wish someone had told me, and I could have been more prepared!!

What suggestions would you add??
