It's My Birthday

For the past month I’ve been fretting about what I’m gonna do for my 21st bday (Friday). At first I was gonna have a party with a Michael Jackson theme, just playing his music.


Happy Birthday Michael...
But then i changed my mind and i wanted a regular party. Well not a party… a chill-fest is what I called it. I thought it was perfect since Im not a go out a party all night kinda girl. Plus I don’t see my friends that much since I’m away at school, so this way I would get to see everyone at once.

That plan was crossed out. So I was gonna have a bday weekend. Friday, with Tobias (my boyfriend). Saturday, with my friends. And Sunday, with my family. But then I ran across some financial woos due to tuition. So maybe hanging out with the girls isn’t such a good idea.

Then, I gave up. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want a big day with my boyfriend because he’s helping me with my expenses and it would be unfair of me to put such pressure on him. But he wouldn’t settle for doing nothing because he knew how excited I was about my bday. So I told him to either buy me a gift, take me out to eat, the movies or something. But only one thing!

Anyway, I was super excited about turning 21! ^_^. To me, it’s about having a new confidence and about being legally grown. Before there were spots I was insecure about going into because I know it’s a grown place and they served alcohol. But now I’m swinging the doors open and stepping in like “oh yeah, I ‘m grown. U already know,” lol (in my mind. Lol). It’s also about being adult about your responsibilities. I see myself doing this already, but I guess there are some things I can be more accepting of. Anyway, I’m excited to be 21!

And I’m still smiling today. Yesterday, was… omg… it was sooo nice. The whole day was a surprise to me. First, when I woke up, it was raining really hard. But it was cool because I was still gonna have a great day.

We had to drop his mom off to pick up her car. But on the way back, we were driving through Atlanta, he asked me if I want to do something around the house or in the city. I figured he was up to something, so I chose to stay in Atlanta. We went to a small, nice “Corner Tavern(that was the name of the restaurant). Not fancy or anything, just chill, how I like it. It had an urban feel to it. I liked it a lot. I had a good time there. We took pictures of each other with our camera phones and had a great time. When we left, he told me his future bday plans to me and apologized for the lack of surprise. But it was a surprise. I didn’t know any of this was gonna happen. And even when u tell someone what’s gonna happen it’s still a surprise if they didn’t know about it. He originally planned to go to a place for desert but since we got so full at “Corner Tavern” he figured that wasn’t a good idea. (I recently told him I think it would be cool to go to a place just for desert and nothing else. Just sitting there talking over desert… Kinda romantic, I guess.) We agreed to go home for now and eat desert later.

On the way home, I mentioned going to GameStop to trade in Sims 2 for credit towards Sims 3. But his reaction told me he hadn’t planned to buy the video game or go to GameStop. So I retracted my idea. At home we watched Katt Williams’ “It’s Pimpin’ Pimpin’” with his mom. LOL. That was too funny. Katt Williams is crazy. lol.

After that we went to Applebee’s and shared a Blondie. It was pretty good. I also had my first (legal) drink: A strawberry margarita on the rocks. We talked and took more pics. I had a good time being with him so I moved to his side of the booth and we shared another Blondie. It was so sweet. I love him. Who knew my birthday would turn out so great!

We went home and started to unwind from our day. We had to take a finance quiz by 11PM so I started studying. Then I went over to the laptop to get online. When I adjusted the laptop, I saw "The Sims 3, Collector's Edition" behind it. My heart stopped. I figured I wasn’t supposed to see it, so I tried to play it off. Then he told me to look behind the laptop. I was so happy and was smiling sooo much. I’m a big Sims fanatic and had wanted it for a while. I didn’t even know he got it for me! I was so surprised, u have no idea!
Yesterday was amazing. ^_^. What a great introduction to a new year of my life.

Good Morning my friends

Happy Saturday! And if you’re not reading this on a Saturday, happy day to you too. I hope your day is going splendid and has plenty of gifts to offer. =)

Just a few minutes ago, was super tired and had a hard time keeping my eyes open. So i went to the sales center (im at work. im a concierge at a mid-rise condo. we have a sales center in the building), and made a cup of coffee. That made me wonder...

Is it coffee that picks u up?
Or is it the act of making coffee
whether its at home or going to Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts to buy coffee?

Im not a big coffee drinker, but my co-worker is. And he says he NEEDS coffee to make it through the day. And i've seen the effects of this caffeine. I'm just asking because even before i was finished making my coffee i was perked up and ready for the day, because i had to wake up just to make it. I guess if you drink coffee all the time this process is automatic. But it woke me up. And made me wonder...hmm... it's probably both the process of getting coffee and the drink itself that wakes u up.

Hey! Let me tell you about the coffee machine in the sales center. It's so cool! All you have to do is fill the pitcher on the side with water, put in a "little cup of flavor" for the type of coffee you want, select your cup size and VUALA! You have a cup of coffee. It's sooo simple! lol. Pressing buttons can be so fun. lol. I'm so up right now. lol.

i hope u have a FANTASTIC day!

The Kardashians

There are a few reality shows that i actually "watch" and Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Run's House, Daddy's Girls are the main ones. Love those shows! ^_^. If you have any suggestions on anything i should get in to, talk to me. Lemme know because i'm sure there are more reality shows out there that's equally as good. Not like American Idol, or So U Think U Can Dance. I would watch those shows but i always miss it and they don't repeat. And once i miss one (or three) i feel out of touch with whats goin on. But anything else is cool. =)

So, here's a preview for Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, the spin-off of The Kardashians. Looks like it's gonna be a fun season. lol. (evil laugh...lol)

Measure This

Imagine cooking something that needs 1 1/4 cups of water. You get the measuring cup and fill it with water. You analyze your measurement and decide there is a little too much water. So you pour some out. Now there's too little water. You add some more water.

But how can i know the measurement is accurate?

This scenario happens almost every time i cook. And since i'm a bit of a perfectionist, i want the water to be exactly on the line. lol. But imagine if i had this:

Cool, right?

Finally, i can make sure i have the correct amount of whatever ingredient i need. The cup even slides out of the casing for easy cleaning! "What a simple solution to getting the measure right." =)

Beautiful Rose

Check out Complex Magazine photo shoot with Amber Rose.
This girl knows she's hot!


Here's a piece of the interview:

Complex: There’s going to be a time when people are going to ask you about whether you and Kanye are gonna take the relationship to the next level or if it’s just a fling.

Amber Rose: Because we’re in a public eye, everybody wants to know what goes on, but we’re human beings. We have arguments—people have arguments, mothers and daughters have arguments, it’s only natural. Kanye is amazing, he’s a great person, he treats me wonderful, we have a great time together. I genuinely care for him.

Complex: Did you ever have a crush on him before you guys started dating?

Amber Rose: I was always a huge fan of him, like who isn’t? But he had a fiancĂ©e, it wasn’t like, “Ah, I’m gonna get with Kanye!” When I met him, it was strictly business. He wanted me for his “Robocop” video and he had the utmost respect for me, and we hung out on a friendship/business type of deal. You know, just as normal human beings when you hang out with somebody, you start to like them. Kanye knew my life, so when the blogs came out like, “Oh, Kanye do you know she was a stripper, that she used to date girls?” Kanye was like, “Tell me something I don’t know.” Everybody has a life and a past. See the whole interview here.

Fashion in Action: Louis Vitton

I'm trying out a new interface for my Fashion in Action posts. I wanted to better show how runway can be transformed and used in your functional wardrobe. Today, i'm focusing on Louis Vitton's Ready-to-Wear line for 2009. Although, RTW apparel is supposed to be "ready to wear", sometimes it seems a bit extreme for the average person.

But a wise lady once told me to take runway piece by piece and look at it as an individual instead of a whole set. And that's what i wanted to bring to "Fashion in Action". I hope u like the post. I will try to post a new one every month.

Here's it is... your daily dose of F.i.A.


Make this look work for you...
Instead of going with a printed skirt+basic colored top, i switched it. A black skirt is a basic, essential piece. You could also use any other basic color if you have it. And that can go with a printed top like the one i have chosen. The model has on a loose, mid-sleeve, open collar top. So i found something similar that could possibly work. I also think simple black boots, could work well in recreating this look.

One thing daring thing about this model is her gloves. I like how she's rocking it. So to follow this trend, try to find long gloves complimentary to your printed apparel (the shirt, in this case). However, if you cant find that perfect pair, try bangles or big bracelets to fill up your arms. Also, a necklace like that could be hard to find. So look for a complimentary necklace that rides your neckline and does not hang too low.

Lastly, i threw in a headband to bring the look upward if you do not want to wear an up-do. Or u could wear sunglasses because... well, everyone looks good and chic in a hot pair of shades. lol. ^_^. Good luck!

Fashion in Action,
Allie.

Who's the Judge?

So we've all heard these rumors about Miss Abdul not returning to American Idol. I, honestly, do not watch Idol religiously like that to really care. But it is interesting how this happened a few times before. Paula's worried about renewing her contract. Everyone cries for Paula not to go. Then a few weeks before Idol returns, Paula's back.

So, is this one for real? I dunno. But the hype of the situation definitely has my attention. And i just found this article about J Lo possibly taking Paula's spot.

"According to reports, Jennifer Lopez is 'actively negotiating' with the producers of hit tv show 'American Idol' to replace Paula Abdul."
Read the whole article.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Idol, having J Lo as a judge would make me watch. It's not that i like J Lo more than Paula. She's cool. I guess i would only because she's new to the show. I'd watch it more but still dont think i'll "follow" it. If that makes sense... humph... whatever, (shrug).




What u think about this? Do you prefer Paula or J Lo? Are you a fan of American Idol? If you prefer neither who would u like to see as a judge? TheBoomBox

Flashback Video

I used to always sing this song and i still do... just not as much. lol. Anywho, this song just popped in my head and i wanted to share it with you.

Do you remember (or know) this song?

"One More Try" by Divine. I love this song!!!

Dress Up

This was one of those days when u have nothing else to do but play in ur clothes. lol. This is usually when i discover that something can go with something else. Like that necklace... i havent worn it since i bought it! And i usually wear that skirt in the fall/winter with some plaid leggings. Here's a pic of that...

That pic is two years old, maybe? I dunno... Anywho, this is the
new outfit
i came up with. I had fun being tryna be a top model. Lol.


Do you see my make up? What do you think? I was trying something new with that too. Well kinda... i used green and a rose color together before. That was cool. Here i tried yellow & pink. It looks kinda purple here... still cute. =)




After all that fun i put my hair in a ponytail and
took a pic with my boyfriend. ^_^.


That was fun. ^_^. What do you think of my outfit and/or make-up?
Any tips for make-up? I barely wear it. Only lip gloss and the
occasional natural looking eye shadow+eye liner+mascara. I like
experimenting with color. It's so bold.

Anywho, let me know. Love you guys!

TTYL,
Allie.

Guess who's on V

Did you guess? That's okay, i'll tell you anyway. It's Cameron Diaz! =)

I know right?! LOL. She looks so different. I barely recognized her.

We're used to seeing Miss D with a more friendly, approachable look, but i must say, i like this look a little better. These pics are hot, classic, and sultry at the same time... (Click the image for a bigger view)


I'll say she deserves a new nickname for this one...
Introducing Cameron "Diva" Diaz!!! (Applause)
It has a little ring to it. lol. ^_^.


"Ten years ago she stole hearts and lit up the silver screen with a slew of roles as the blonde and beautiful good-time girl, but even Cameron Diaz herself knew she’d have to hit reboot before conquering Hollywood again. Now she’s back with 2 challenging new roles that might just change the course of her career"
