Sometimes A LIttle Hope Is All You Need

Today I wanna talk about something that is really important too be and it is the power of music and what it can do for you. Now I never judge anyone for the music they like because who knows that artist or band saved their lives. Sometimes even a boy band which is what I'm going to be talking about they are One Direction. I was first introduced to them by a friend who liked them so I decided to look them up and watched all their X Factor auditions and fell so hard for them. Especially Harry Styles when I watched him sing Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder I was not only amazed at how great of a voice he had but the fact that he won over the everyone in that room. Yes I will say he is my favorite one but I personally learned too love all the boys because of how great of friends they are became after being put together as a group by Simon Cowell. After they were put into a group they spent a weekend at Harry's house (This scene is in their 3D movie btw) but it shows them all gathered around a camp fire bounding as a band and forming life long friendships. When they started too get a lot of press they type casted the boys Liam (Daddy Direction), Zayn (mysterious one), Louis (Sassy One), Niall (Hungry One), Harry (Ladies Man) now some of these traits may be true but that's not all they are and the real fans know that. Real fans are true die hard fans that love them for who they are and for the mistakes they make because even though they are celebs they are still just normal guys living a not normal life. I do have to state that now One Direction is only four guys because Zayn decided to leave to pursue a solo career. Honestly it wasn't that much of a shock to me that he left because about one year ago whenever you saw concert photos he didn't look happy at all at least too me. I feel bad for Zayn in that he got a lot of hate for leaving because they are suppose too be "brothers" and I think he will always hold the other boys as his brothers and that won't change but he had too do what would make him happy because he really did look pretty depressed. Maybe one day all five of them will be on the same stage again but it's better for him too have left and still be good friends with them instead of him staying and ended up hating them right? Now for the music it's actually pretty great songs that they have made/written. They have created songs that everyone can relate too even if it's not what the song is really about it's open to interpretation. Sometimes boy bands get a lot of flack for making just silly pop songs but One Direction songs hold up to in arenas and stadiums being able too do that takes real singing chops. Another thing that makes them a great band is they are actually having a blast when they are up on that stage performing for all their fans, When they do silly pranks on each other or their band as well as just being dorky boys and drenching each other with their water bottle. That's what a really good band does is that they don't take themselves too seriously they know how to have a little fun while doing their job! I care so much about these boys because they are great mood lifters especially when you have had a really hard day. I remember two years ago like the last few weeks of May I was swapped with a lot of school work and stress of not being possible to graduate with my class but their music helped me pull through and I ended up being able to walk with my class which I'm so beyond proud of myself for doing. Switching back to the boys I think they give hope in a way too girls that their are actually really nice and sweet guys out there and one day you will find one who will cherish you for who you are. It's important for girls too have that kind of role model male who won't take them for granted sort of thing. Also who can not love an adorable brit or irish boy? I know I can't :)  They have hearts of gold every one of them and I never thought these five boys would mean that much too me but five years later I'm still a Directioner for life and nothing will ever change that! I can't wait for when I have kids and have a daughter and I will be that mom that drags her daughter too go see them and be like these guys ruled the world when I was you're age. HAHA- Taylor

A Nice Change Of Pace

Fair Warning This Is Going Too Be An Talky Post....


This summer has been a world wind of different emotions now it could have been from still being a bit shocked that my grandmother has passed it's a strange feeling because put of me still feels like it's not real like that on a Sunday I will just go back to where she lived and have our tradition of going to visit her. Yet in my head I know the truth and it means their is a piece of my heart missing but it's up in heaven with her and my grandfather hopefully watching over their family. Honestly I can't get the picture out of my head that one day I will be walking down the isle and as I turn around to face the guests and see two empty chairs where there will be a dragonfly and monkey on each of the chairs to honor both of them. As for that happening I also was dealing with a lonely heart because my two closets friends had stuff too do and couldn't hang out and I took that very personally because I saw one of them make choices that she chose to spend time her significant other but didn't make time for her "Best Friend" I felt so hurt beyond words couldn't even imagine. It's not like I could tell her because I'm not very good at saying how I feel to people very close too me it stems from not wanting to lose anybody so I would just keep quite and hope they would understand what I was feeling but sometimes people don't pick up on that sort of thing so I'll just try too let it go. Except now I'm starting to be okay with it all thanks too the help of another closet friend that made me feel important and when I brought up the idea of her staying with me while my family was on a trip and she said those words "I will make it work" and hearing that it finally made me feel better and not so lonely anymore. It really did help my mood cause I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and too get a back bone kinda like the rocker boys I love so much just stand up for what you believe and feel. We are having a great time and I'm so happy right now! - Taylor

Bringing You Back To A Certain Place- Music Fave Matchbox Twenty

Matchbox Twenty is a Pop/Rock band who writes really good songs with real meaning behind them. They debut album came out in 1996 so they have been in the music game for 20 years which is a little funny since they are matchbox twenty (Artist Pun HAHA!) anyways their debut album was named Yourself Or Someone Like You which had two big hits of there's that were 3am and Push. 3am is a song about how Rob Thomas (Singer) mother had cancer when he was only 12. He explained the song as that it was a weird time for him because he had to take care of not only himself but also his sick mother. But the beginning of the song goes " she says it's cold outside and hands me a rain coat she is always worried about things like that." It shows that even though his mom was sick she still wanted too take care of her little boy it's very sweet. Personally I have always wondered if it was hard for him to have to sing this song so often because it's such an emotion song. As for the song Push it's the more angry side/rock side of the band the song itself is just talking about being feud up with things not working out. I'm one of those people who always remember exactly where I was when I have heard a song for the very first time and it just always brings me back. This band was one of those bands that brought me back because I remember being little and hearing their music on the radio all the time but never knowing who the artist was. A little story about remembering hearing them on the radio is that almost every Sunday my mom, my sister, and I would go visit my grandparents. They lived about an hour and a half away so I would sit there in my car seat and listen to the music that was playing and stare out the window and wondering what the lyrics meant. I laugh now because I guess I was always a music lover just don't know I'd have such a strong love for it. My top six favorite songs would be Disease, Push, She's So Mean, 3am, Unwell, Smooth (Carlos Santana/ Rob Thomas). (not in that order). The thing I love about this band so much is that they can go from great up tempo songs to amazing ballads it really shows the talent within the band. Rob's voice is also pretty awesome he has this sort of growl and grit to his voice but when it comes to the slower songs you can hear the emotion that he pours into the song. I look up to musicians like him because he has the raw talent to be able to sing with out any backing tracks or instruments and it would still sound flawless. So if you don't know who Matchbox Twenty is totally check them out! - Taylor :)

Do I Really Put On That Good Of A Face?

WARNING: this post is going to be talky/explosion of words...

Do you ever have that feeling where your in a mood but don't even know where to begin if someone asked you what was the matter? Well that's me right now and it sucks a lot. It's nothing at all but everything all at once too it's a very strange feeling to feel. Before I go deep into everything I'm just going to put it out there that I do try to keep all my emotions inside because I often think that it's nobodies else's problems expect mine so why should I tell them sort of thing. I know it's bad but it's something that I have always struggled with. Okay first of all I'm kinda pissed with my family because my parent's are going to Disneyland with my sister and her family in a couple of days now I wasn't invited for a reason I do not know either. Honestly I think that was a really rude thing too do now to be truthful I'm not much of a ride kind of person but for my nephews I would do anything they asked just to see their smiling faces so I would go on all the rides they wanted but to not even be asked if I would have liked to go is just really mean like what do you just not want me around? Sometimes I wish it would go back to the days where it was just my parents and me and my sister because that time was when her and I were actually close. I looked up to her so much I just thought she was the coolest person ever and wanted too be just like her in every way but once she grew up it was cold between us and I wish it wasn't. So once I found out about the trip my parents tried to sorta make it up too me and say that I can have a friend stay with me while there gone but I don't even know if I wanna do that or make it possible we while see I guess. Just like who the hell does that don't invite one person out of the family it's seriously a load of crap. Then to load onto the crap I'm stuck watching my nephews gineue pigs and I don't even like animals like WTF! I swear it just gets worse. This is something I will never forget ever and let me tell you will not let go.

Moving on from that issue and onto a better note lately I have been really into listening to Elvis I have his thirty greatest hits or top #1 singles and it's not like I didn't know who he was cause hello everyone knows who he is but guess never thought to listen to his music. Well I got this CD when cleaning out my grandmothers stuff and holy cow such an amazing artist I mean it was special during that time to be able to sing both up tempos and ballads and he did great at both. It always brings me back to a time where everything just seemed so sweet and nice :)  - Taylor

Bed Time Routine

Now yes it may be weird for a nineteen year old too have a bed time routine but honestly I have always been that kid who likes to know what's going to happen first. So this is going to be a little list of things I do to help relax me and get me ready to go too sleep. I hope you enjoy and maybe find some new products to try :)

5. Crawling Into Bed With My Laptop- Okay I know that it's not the best thing to bring your laptop into bed with you but I love to chill out watching either old Zoella videos or Hannah Maggs!

4. Getting My Room Ready- This has to be the one thing that I actually do every night the same way all the time. First plug in christmas lights! (story behind why they are up all year long- I read in a biography of someone I really like and admire they had pink christmas lights hung up beside their bed and it gave me a great cozy picture in my head so every since then I now my christmas lights hanging in my room), Next turn on the fan! I must sleep with a fan on for both the cold as well for the noise. Making my bed! Yes I know that's strange but I make my bed before I get in it every night it's just something I have always done. (Little Fact About Me LOL).

3. Pulling Back My Hair-  So I have medium long hair and one of my biggest pet pevees as you could say is sleeping with my hair down. I think it stems from not liking things touching my neck while I'm sleeping so that means: Hair Up in TIGHT PONYTAIL it has to be tight!, Usually sleeping in some kind of tank top with thin straps, and also some kind of headband.

2. Washing My Face- Both of these face washes are in my holy grail products for sure because they work so well. The first shown is a scrub with hydro bursting beads that helps wash away dirt and oil but also help hydrate you're face as well. It's also great to use in the morning to help really wake you up. (I also use it if I'm having a bad skin day) Next would be the deep action cleanser which is more of an everyday wash it's really gentle on the skin. (I use it at night)

1. A Nice Hot Shower Or Bath- For me this is one of the most relaxing things to do. I don't get it but for some odd reason once my body comes in contact with the warm waters my muscles instantly relax. I like to enjoy a bubble bath so some of my favorite shower gels are: Cashmere Glow, Velvet Sugar, and Sleep (one of the scents from bath and body works aromatherapy range)  Both of the Sleep and Cashmere Glow have very peaceful scents with sleep having notes of lavender and chamomile and Cashmere has a soft flowery scent mixed with a little musk so it's a very sexy smelling scent. As for the velvet sugar it's a much more sweet smell it reminds me of if you were to bathe in cotton candy mixed with fresh flowers. Also while I'm in the bath or shower I like to listen too music it's either between classic rock or Ed Sheeran lol yes I do know that's quite the stretch in the world of music.

To The Ones Who Think They Don't Belong

From growing up listening to lots of different kinds of music I respect all forms of music even if I personally don't like it because who knows someone else could love them and have possible gotten them there a rough time. In middle school a lot of Alternative bands were really cool at the moment one of them being Fall Out Boy. I started listening to them because my sister listened to them and was into those alternative bands so I remember her picking me up from school while FOB ( Fall Out Boy) was playing on the radio. I liked them because it was something different from the kids music/clean versions of songs that were played at school during dances. It makes me laugh at middle school dances because we actually thought we were so cool because we all stood around in a group thinking what we were doing was cool. To be honest I always seemed to be in the group that was "grinding" basically dancing where a girl was in front of a guy and the guy would have his hands on the girls hips and just move together. At the time we could not understand why the teachers or staff that was watching us were so stuck up about it we were just dancing. Anyways back to FOB there was a time where I thought they were like gods because I went through that nobody understands me and the things I like so they fit how I felt. FOB is one of those bands you can imagine playing in this shit hole little club and rocking out just because they can but also have the star power to play arena's which now they are. Also I may have had a little crush on Pete Wentz I just thought he was so badass cause of the guyliner and tattoos plus the thought of freaking out my parent's of bringing home a guy like that made me laugh so hard but now looking back my parents are so cool with anyone as long as their girl is happy which I thank them for. Some of my top FOB songs are: Dance, Dance, Sugar Were Going Down Swinging, I Don't Care, Alone Together, Where Did The Party Go. Overall they are just a good band with fun music, smart lyrics and an banging sound. You have to remember that they are in a genre that is being pushed into the dark by Pop Acts and EDM artists their last record Save Rock and Roll was their come back record because they stopped playing together for awhile because of having other things going on in their lives but when this record came out it was a great album and it really brought them back into the game. Lastly I liked them because they were not the norm and it taught kids to be okay with whoever you are and their is a place for everyone so don't feel left out or a outcast because their music brought people together. That's how you know when a band has got something good going for them. - Taylor

Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place

Just fair warning this is going to be a talky post...


I'm at an odd place because I have had a very lonely summer cause most of my friends are doing lots of other things which I'm happy for them of course but I sadly thought okay well schools out so I'm going to be able to see them a lot more but I was wrong. By realizing this I felt mad to be honest because in my eyes I feel like it's cause they don't want to spend time with me anymore now it's probably all in my head I tend to over-think a lot it's one of my worst habits. Yet yes I feel sort of frustrated that this turned out the way it has but on the other hand I also feel like okay I have tried many a time to put myself out their to try to hang out and then also stay in contact so I think I have done my part but I'm just not really getting much back and it freaking sucks. It's one of those things that I wish I could stop caring so much about everything in general like do I actually have this much empathy? Is it normal?  I doubt it.  As for the other side of me I'm starting not to care as much as maybe I thought I did because why be the person that's only trying it's dumb and I hate that feeling waiting around like I'm some lost little puppy because that's not me I'm beginning to realize I can function without day to day contact with people I use to see everyday I guess that's what it means when you're starting think more like an adult ( Score 1 for Tay! )

I never thought trying to "grow up" would be this hard for some reason I had the thought that okay I get out of school and boom I will be in college with a great intern job making money and starting too live my life and honestly I wish that all actually happened. I feel like such a waste a person because so many people around me have gone on to do great things yet I'm over here just barley started it makes me feel like I'm not good enough which is something I have dealt with all my life. Always I have compared myself to people around me instead of me just being me now I may be starting to just be me and not caring so much about what others think because why let others win you know? The fact that people around use are factors in every choice we make seems crazy like why aren't I'm doing things the way I want too? Well I'm going to start and if people don't like it they can suck it lol
 ( Yeah I have a bit of a attitude on me ;-)  That's a trait of mine for sure but the way I look at it is that true good people around you would be like " Oh yeah that's just tay being tay" and laugh about it because it's something that's not going to change and I thank those people! - Taylor

My Style Is Me

Style too me is very important because it's a guessing game for the public and I think it's fun to shock people. Everyone knows the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover" and we also all know we shouldn't but it doesn't mean we don't right? Many first impressions on based on what we look like and what we are wearing. Personally I think if you go out into the public eye you should be well dressed because you never know who you will met or what opportunity will come your way. Now don't get me wrong girls I understand that some day we are just going to throw on a pair of yoga pants and run out the door but if you have the time then put together an outfit. I'm going to describe my style and what trends I like to wear based on the season we are in. I hope you enjoy and get your fashionista on!


The way I would describe my style is soft with an edge because I often love the simpleness of a cozy oversized sweater with a pair of skinny jeans as much as a pair of leather leggings and a band tee which gives an edge to a look. As examples of each season I will put two pictures of outfits of both a outfit which I think is "Soft" and another "Edge" to give you ideas of what I would wear.

Summer- Summer is my favorite season because honestly sometimes you don't want to think so much about putting together an outfit. During summer it's okay to just throw on a pair of shorts and a tank top and set off onto a day filled with adventure. In the first look it does show the simpleness of the clothes but it's still also an look that is exciting too wear. The clean crisp white short paired with the rustic purple shirt with different layers of fabric creating texture within the look. The accessories just fit into the look so easy with the over the shoulder bucket bag and the beaded neckless that's colors match the ones that are on the bag. For the second look it's similar to the first but this one is another look that I just love which is the simple jean short with a slouchy white tee but paired with a flowered printed kimono. My perfect trade mark clothing item in the summer is always a kimono because too me it's free flowing and exciting to wear which the way I think summer should be free and exciting.

Spring- Now I really like this first look here because at least in oregon during spring you don't know what your going to get weather wise because easily we could have all four seasons in a just one hour here so dressing in spring is often a guessing game. Yet I think this outfit works well because wearing jeans and a dress shirt is both cute and professional for the work space or even school. Of course I would advise not wearing heels to school cause it will be very hard on you're feet trust me I know I have done it a handful of times. I would actually pair this outfit with a chic pair of flats not only will your feet won't hurt but it can also add a pop of color to this very black and white outfit. Perhaps a neon color or even a print could add something exciting to this basic yet adorable outfit. The next look is something I would wear when the sun finally comes out and you can start to feel the warm sun on you're skin. One of my favorite ways of mixing and matching is using a flowered print with a more sculptured material personally I just love leather as I have said many a times in this post but I think it gives off a powerful, sexy, and bit of attitude. It makes me feel like I stand out in a crowd.

Winter- I like the first outfit because it's playing with the idea of sexy but with layers which I love because you don't have to show skin to be sexy if you don't want too. This outfit will keep you warm but you will still look fashionable. What makes me like it is the way the sweater/cardigan is wrapped around sort of like a bondage like style it gives off an essence of sexy by showing the natural shape of you're body without it being too much. As for the second option I'm totally obsessed with it's too die for in my eyes because it's that rocker edge style that I love so much. The leather pants with the Rolling Stone t-shirt

Fall- The first look is what I would wear when it's the middle or end of October when the wind starts to pick up more and it becomes a bit more chilly. It's simple with both the colors of the neutral tones mixed with the cozy accent with the slouchy sweater and scarf. An outfit like this I would call it an easy one to put on if you want to be comfortable but also chic. Now the second look has the same idea with the gray slouchy sweater but mixed with a ripped jean adds a bit of attitude to the outfit.

Expression Of Dance- Top 10 favorite routines on So You Think You Can Dance

I personally just love the show So You Think You Can Dance or SYTYCD for short and have been watching it since I was eight years old and now I'm 19 so that's a long time to really love a show.  So I'm going to cherry pick some of my favorite routines from all the past seasons and explain what I loved about each. I hope you enjoy it!

10. Donyelle & Benji Broadway- Season 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlJo8QSScIc
Everything about this dance is just so much fun! Watching Benji in his zone just having the time of his life.

9. Travis and Heidi- Calling You (Contemporary) Season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38XIFZLlIiM This is a very intense dance emotionally it tugs on my heart strings every time I see it. It's choreographed by Mia Michaels and the way she does choreo it always has that touching beautiful story too it. There is always a meaning to work and I think that it shows a softness but also strong side to her as well.

8. Neil and Danny- Are you the one? Season 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ2aUMeMaH0
Oh my gosh the power between these two were crazy and that's what I loved about the strength that was shown was out of this world. Very dark but very sexy as well watching Neil and Danny fight as princes till one of them becomes king. A interesting and fun idea to create a dance to that's for sure!

7. Chehon & Witney- I Will Always Love You- Season 9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlPaHO4JCFo   This routine gave me chills because I thought it was that good. Chehon is one hell of a Ballet/Contemporary dancer who's leaps and jumps seem to go on forever and his lifts create such a seamless look to the dance.

6. Caitlynn and Pasha- Samba Season 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHYEespjZT0
What can I say Pasha makes Latin Ballroom look so much fun! His turns and how he holds himself while he dances is just raw talent.

5. Dmitry - Solo (Pump It) Season 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlBX6nGdmsM
Well I mean I don't have much to say about Dmitry but damn please move your hips like that towards me ;) just joking anyways he is amazing at what he does. He sure kills Latin Ballroom.

4. Lauren and Dominic/D-trix Hip Hop- Season 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBWtJ0xbe78
Now I picked this one because I love Dominic I think he is a great b-boy but he really showed on his season that you can give him choreo and he will learn it and do it perfectly that shows real talent to be able to do that. Pairing up Lauren and Dominic I think was a great choice because the story they are suppose to show an abusive relationship and by the end of the dance Lauren escapes and is free and both of them did a great job at putting expression on their faces to show the emotions they were portraying.

3.  Mark and Chelsie - Bleeding Love- Season 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls8lBGod5Oc

The moment I saw this routine I fell in love with it because it was such a beautiful story to show through dance. A relationship where one cares so much about work he forgets and looses that special bond with his significant other. Once again the choreography done by NappyTabs
(look them up!) is amazing and they became on of my favorite choreography's on the show.






2. Katee and Twitch - Mercy (Door Dance) Season 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhrxfHCtMJA This routine I became a fan of twitch because of the way they both went at each other it really portrayed how in a relationship one person just can't let go and keeps coming back but finally in the end it's over. It's a very fun routine to watch as well.

1. Ramalama Bang Bang ( Zombie Dance ) Season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPzcsdlOB7g  I loved this routine because of the darkness of them being Zombies but also love the hard work as dancers to have to move their bodies in that sort of contorted kind of way it showed great determination. Also loved watching Travis in this season!

One Of A Kind

This summer I have been learning a lot about Antiques mostly because sense my grandmother passed we have had to go through a lot of antiques both my grandmother and grandfather on my mom's side sold antiques it became their special hobby they did together. Looking through all of these things I find so interesting because everything has it's own story and dates back to a time where everything seemed so much more simple. Now I have always been somewhat obsessed with past decades and learning what it was like during that specific time period. The funny part about me being so interested is that for as long as I can remember I said that I was born in the wrong decade because I'd wonder what if I was a girl in the 50's would have I dressed in a poodle skirts and little cardigans and gone out to the drive in with my friends. Or perhaps to be in a car at on the way to a diner listening to Elvis or Chuck Berry on the radio and once we got to the diner and ordered an ice cream then being asked if I would "go steady".  I also have always said that I would have killed to go to Woodstock because I think truly at heart in a past life I was a flower child because I love the whole artistic vibe that era had. Actually when I was a sophomore (2011) I had to take US history and I was so into it all because we were reading out of the textbook and I flipped the page and there was a picture of what the flyer for Woodstock looked like and it listed the performers that were going to be playing and I giggled to myself because I knew of every single person on that list and liked most of their music Personally my top two favorites were Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan. Yeah I was that weird girl in class geeky-ing out about something that happened over 42 years ago. For the 70's the thing that got me was the whole Glam Scene that was rocking during that time. Artists like David Bowie and KISS where wearing women's clothing and make up which for the time was very odd now I look at it and see they were the first people to bring in the concept of gender bending. That is where basically you don't have to look like the gender that you are ex. boys wearing women's clothes and make up. I liked that these people were trying to shock others because wouldn't life be boring if everything just stayed the same all the time? The 80's are a huge decade for me I would loved to cut my teeth on being able to see life on the sunset strip back then with these huge bands like Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, Van Halen, Skid Row, Warrant all getting their start living and breathing for the music that they were creating. Also I love movies that were made back then like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Buller's Day Off, Pretty In Pink, Labyrinth, Footloose. There is something about the way movies and tv were made back then that just seems sorta magical too me. Yet I'm not very big into the 90's I mean of course I will have loved to see Nirvana and Pearl Jam but that being sad I do love the all of Disney movies that were made and shows like Full House and all the nickelodeon shows that were created. As you can see of my examples I used music, fashion, and media like movies and tv to show what was popular back then also with some of my personal faves mixed in. I guess I will always love things like this that tell a story :) - Taylor

All Shook Up

Today I'm feeling ready for Fall where I live which is Portland OR it's cloudy and grey and I'm kinda loving it. Now I won't lie I am a summer girl for sure once it starts to get sunny and hot I'm all about shorts, tank tops, flip flops, trips, tanning but there is something very calming and cozy about the feeling of Fall. Perhaps it's getting to wear jeans and boots again and sipping on warm coffee while walking along watching leaves fall from trees or staying home for a movie night and getting all cozy with blankets and junk food and enjoying snuggling in for the night. Stuff like that make me really like when the weather starts too change because I can be a bit of a homebody sometimes I just enjoy being at home. Aside from that it's that time of the year where comfort food starts to be cooked all of the family recipes that have been created over and over again for years and years. Food like that at least to me have so much meaning because in my family food was the gather tool for all of us to come together and spend time with each other. Some of my own families recipes includes- Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Chicken and Dumplings, Lemon Cake just to name a few. Lol yeah my family is really into food probably why I love to cook it's something that I find really fun and a great hobby. It's a hobby where you can have a few friends over to help and turn up some music and just have a party :) - Taylor

A Beautiful Look From The Past

                                   
    This is a ring I found in a shop isn't it pretty!
