This is my new best friend, Rachel Bilson. She shops at Target so clearly I want to be her friend. If you are friends with me on SnapChat or follow me on Twitter, you know this happened. But basically, I needed ribbon and gift ties to make presents cute and low and behold, this gem was in the ribbon aisle! She is tiny, and adorable, and nice, and laughed at my joke. So now you see how we're best friends?
Before Target yesterday I didn't do much of anything besides lunch with my mom and hanging out at her work for a few hours talking to the intern lawyers because they are all nice and funny and what else did I have to do? Oh finish Vampire Diaries season 1? Yeah that happened. Now I am on season 2 episode 5? I think, don't quote me on that! ANYWAYS I forgot to pack a ton of stuff because I'm me and I packed for the cold, forgetting that I live in Los Angeles, and now I am stuck with sweaters and a few tank tops and I meant to get basic shirts and what not at Target, but I got distracted and I really don't feel like dealing with the Holiday crowds, so I will deal. I guess...

And then last night I relived the Michael Buble concert during his third annual Christmas special. It was the shortest hour of my life. 

Christmas timeeeee!

My favorite holiday memory is watching the James Bond marathon at my cousins house every year after we opened Christmas presents and while everyone was preparing dinner. It as just calm, casual family bonding, but everyone was pretty much in the same room, just enjoying each others company. 

Bitch Corner Hates Me

Well this happened yesterday... The lighting was really weird and my hair doesn't really look like either of these pictures. FALSE HOPE, I KNOW I'M SORRY.

In fact, my hair looks more like this.... But again, blame the lighting.

 I thought it was time for change. And by change I mean I missed my ombre and it was offered so OBVIOUSLY I am going to say yes. I loved my ombre, and now I love my auburn ombre.
But there will always be haters...

Whatever bitch corner. What. Ever.

I think the North Pole is The Polar Express. Like, to a TEE. 

Train, elves, everything.

And I think that they don't judge you if you have ombre hair. (:

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

I Would Be A Terrible Chauffeur

And it's Tuesday. Yesterday was probably the longest Monday of my life. I am rarely the chauffeur seeing as I lived across the street from my high school, so my friends would always have their cars. But alas, yesterday was my day to shine. And by shine, I mean have road rage and drive all over all of Los Angeles. I don't think I have ever been so tired in a very long time. Like I wasn't even this tired during finals week! All complaints aside, I had an amazing day, ate amazing food, got to hang out with my amazing friends, and even squeezed in some last minute Christmas shopping!

Today I am going to lunch with middle school friends (please, wish me luck.) and then getting my hair cut (and possibly colored, who knows with me anymore).

As for when I stopped believing in Santa? Well I still get presents from him and take a picture with him every year... but, I guess I stopped believing when my cousin told me that Santa was my parents. I wasn't devastated because it made sense, but I definitely could've found out in a better way!

Au revoir! Off to watch more Vampire Diaries...

An Actually Happy Monday & Be My Friend

Happy Monday!!! It's almost Christmas! And I am on winter break, writing this post while laying in my bed watching Vampire Diaries. It's my new obsession. Like all I've watched all weekend.
Okay, that's a lie. I also watched some Homeland and saw Saving Mr. Banks (go watch it, it's really good).
I came home Saturday, unpacked, watched Vampire Diaries (stop judging me) and then went and ate sushi, YUM. Sunday we went to the market, got our Christmas tree/Hanukkah bush, decorated the house, did some Christmas shopping, and went to the movies. Yay! Also, fun fact, someone asked about my monogram necklace and I felt really awkward telling this guy that it was my initials, he looked at me like I was crazy... WHATEVER. Anyways, I really want to just lay in bed all day and watch Vampire Diaries, but alas, best friend duties call, and surprises. Mwaha. Never ask me to pick you up from the airport and not expect a surprise. GET READY ERIKA.

My favorite Christmas song is all of Michael Buble's holiday album. Yeah, I know that isn't A song, but I can't pic, they all make me happy!!!

ALSO, remember when I said how excited I was about IMATS LA? Well, as of now I am going by myself. SOMEONE COME WITH MEEEE! It is on January 18th. Let's go, bong over makeup, and be friends. 

Bump That Jam

HAPPY FRIDAY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HAPPY WINTER BREAK! That is, for all you college students, everyone else, it's almost Christmas? Yesterday was intense and fun all in one. After the hardest final ever (I didn't cry. I know, you're so proud of me right now) Erika and I went downtown to be models because we are fabulous. PLEASE NOTE ALL SARCASM THERE. Our friend goes to Academy of the Arts and needed people for his final project. Yeah, see, I'm not as cool now, huh? Yep. Welcome to my life. We did facial expressions and then the coordinating hand symbol. Mine was making a wish and crossing my fingers. Feel free to email me for any modeling needs. I had way too much fun...

Anyways, we then took pictures with Santa because... it's Santa, I ate the biggest taco-thing of my life, and came home to build a gingerbread house. Hi, we're five.

 (This came in my email today!!! I am SO excited, minus the fact I have no idea what to wear but we just aren't going to think about that...)

Then we went over to our friends birthday hangout and had a grand old time. Snapchats were exchanged. It was interesting...

I also got a call from my mom this morning and she told be that I had triskaidekaphobia which is the fear of Friday the 13th. No, mom. I just didn't want to fly home on Friday the 13th because I already hate flying and with my luck something would happen. Ugh. But I go home tomorrow, HOORAY! And so tonight I will pack and clean my apartment while jamming out to the new Beyonce album. Woo-hoo! 

And in honor of just filling out my 5 hour timesheet (thank you, finals) here is my back that azz up song on this glorious Friday. I also included the music video. It took a lot of effort for me to not do the new Beyonce album, but I think that speaks for itself!

How do you celebrate the holidays?

I go home! YAY! To kick off our holiday season, my parents throw THE BEST, BIGGEST, MOST AMAZING Holiday party of the year. Like people talk about it all year long. Yeah, we're those people. Just kidding. But it is super fun. It is also the one time of year where I see people. Like I only see some of my family friends at my holiday party because that's just what is normal for us. I know, I'm weird, you should accept that by now. 

Anyways, When I was younger, my parents and I would go up to Seattle, Washington to be with my dad's side of the family. It was a medium sized Christmas with the occasional drops of snow, which I loved. Ever since I have been in college though, timing has never been right, and so we stay home and on Christmas go to my dad's cousin's house. It' a small Christmas, but it is a great Christmas!

Aaaand, that's me and my holiday! I also failed at the 12 days til Christmas Instagram challenge this morning. SORRY I HAD TO INSTAGRAM MY BRUNCH.
