Time for a VLOG

I decided to get up enough courage to do another VLOG. My topics for this Vlog are: No Reply Bloggers, Google Friend Connect, BlogLovin, Blogging Topics and General Blogging Advise from me. I ramble a lot, so my Vlog is 13 minutes long! I almost didn't share it because of it's length but I do cover a lot of topics! I hope you enjoy it! I love the funny face that I seem to be making...

You can see my first Vlog HERE.

If you are having trouble seeing my video you can also watch it HERE.
Update: Apparently I was confused about some of the details of a "no reply blogger".
I typed this post to try to explain it MORE. Thanks! :)

Photo An Hour // Early Sunday & Biking

This is my first Photo An Hour post. In the past I had tried to do it and found my photos too boring. I decided to take these photos over the weekend when I knew we would actually be out and about. I love when blogger's do these posts. I enjoy peeking into their daily lives. I actually did this post because EM from Emma Deer hinted at me doing one. Thanks EM for the motivation! Here is how I spent Sunday March 3, 2013...


6AM - Yes, I get up early even on the weekends. 6AM is actually "sleeping in" for me. I love Sponge Bob!
7AM - I love catching up on my blog reading using the BlogLovin' ap on my phone!
8AM - Eating some Shredded Wheats with fresh blue berries and vanilla soy milk! YUM!

9AM - We decided to drive to Ft. Collins, Colorado to ride our bikes. Warmer weather and less wind there.
10AM - Stitch (my iPhone) in my back pocket in my cycling jersey. Ready to hop on the bike!
11AM - Cycling on the trail. It's so hard to take photos with your phone while you are peddling!

12PM - We treated ourselves to Starbucks. It had been a few months since we had it.
1PM - Dragged Cody to the Thrift Store. What a good husband he is!
2PM - Stopped at our favorite bike shop. Cody got a new helmet and drooled over all the bikes that we can't afford.

3PM - After no luck at the thrift store, we headed to Plato's Closet. A second hand store with a great selection.
4PM - Back in Wyoming.
5PM - Dinner time. Vegan Sloppy Joes. (Recipe to come some time in the future.)
6PM - Tea time.
7PM - Sunday is Walking Dead night! YES!!!! Only a few more episodes. :(
8PM - So tired. Time for bed.
I loved doing this. I guess once I had the motivation to do it I didn't find it as hard to pull off. I love holding on to memories from ordinary days. I hope to do more of these posts. Defiantly when I am on my trip visiting family and friends in Ohio. Not everyday is as fun or exciting as this one was. If I did a typically work day I am pretty sure I would get in trouble for having my phone out taking photos. HA! Also, some days I blog for 3 - 4 hours. This was really fun and now I know why so many bloggers do it. Not an original post, but oh well. I am pretty excited about doing them!

Have you ever attempted a photo an hour post?

COLOR OF THE MONTH: PINK

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
I don't think it's any secret that my favorite color is pink. Not just one shade, all shades. I'm currently obsessed with light pink hair. I think it's so pretty!! I plan to dye my hair pink at the end of the month while we are on vacation. I figure I could keep it pink for a few weeks and get it back to blonde by the time I have to go back to work. I like pink because it's calming. I find it to be such a peaceful color. I know not all of you are that fond of pink! ;) I hated it when I was in high school. I didn't like anything that would make me appear overly girly. Then I got a pink t-shirt with a black cat on it my Senior year. I thought the pink looked good on me,...the rest is history. Been in love ever since.

So Pink, LOVE IT OR HATE IT?

What I Wore #14

Me with glasses, what do you think? I have needed new glasses for awhile now. The glasses I was wearing were around 8 years old. I only wore them to bed and around the house. A few weeks ago I had fallen asleep with them on. When I woke up I found them completely crushed under my pillow. This wasn't the first time they had been damaged either. Let's just say super glued was involved in repairing them many times. At the same time the lovely people over at Firmoo contacted me to see if I would be interested in doing a product review on a pair of their glasses! I was so excited. The timing couldn't of been more perfect. I just happened to REALLY need some new glasses.


Firmoo has a great offer for first time buyers where you can get your first pair for free. That's pretty awesome right? I really enjoyed receiving these glasses because I am super paranoid about buying anything online. I am always scared I would be wasting my money. As soon as I put my new glasses on I couldn't believe how well I could see. Everything was so clear and vivid. I love the style of the glasses. They are much bigger then my old "kid" sized glasses. The glasses also came in a nice case, with a cleaning cloth and little eyeglass tool. All Firmoo glasses are available without prescription lens as well. There is a huge selection of fashionable glasses to choose from. Glasses are just fun to wear and a great accessory! Some of my favorite things about Firmoo: The quality of the glasses, affordable prices, lots of styles, fast delivery and great customer service. If you take advantage of their free glasses promo you only pay for shipping! YAY!


My new high top Converse. I purchased them for $6 on clearance at my work! I was giddy with excitement.
They are supposed to be for little boys, but they fit my tiny feet.
Here I am hanging out in a tree. At heart I truly am a tree hugger...


OUTFIT DETAILS:
Glasses: Firmoo, style ZS1025 | Necklace: Charm from Michaels | Sweater: Hollister, but purchased at TJ MAXX
Tank: JcPenney | Jeans: Target | Shoes: Converse

So you may be wondering are there any CONS? My glasses are tight on my head. I am hoping that I can use the little tool that came with the glasses to fix it or that over time they will loosen. I know that I personal have this problem a lot with sunglasses I purchase. The good thing about Firmoo is they want to know if you aren't completely satisfied with your glasses. I am in love with my glasses. I had fun wearing them for the first time today taking these photos. I just need to adjust them, hopefully.

Is it weird seeing me with glasses on? I felt nerdy, but in a good way of course! ;)
Nerdy is a good thing. Visit Firmoo HERE.

Just Barrett

What do people who don't have kids do? Take lots of pictures of their Fur Babies. I have endless amounts of photos of my pets. I love photographing them. The above photos are of my little Barrett. He is around 6 years old but I swear he has the face of a kitten. I call him my little cutie pie. He is very shy and only likes Cody and me. Just last week for the very first time he jumped on my lap! He loves to lay next to you, but never on your lap. He also will let me pick him up and hold him for a short period of time. I decided to keep these photos simple. No photo editing. What do you think? The setting was just AUTO, nothing fancy. I will start trying to take better photos now that I am learning my settings better. I want my photos to be more crisp. They seem out of focus too often to me.

Do you take a million pictures of your Fur Babies as well??
