April 2013 Music Must Have's

If you haven't heard OneRepublic's new album, Native, yet, drop everything and go find it. Download it off iTunes, buy it from a store, preview the songs. Please. You will not be sorry.

I'm obsessed with "Counting Stars": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APpqmQNET8Y

"Burning Bridges": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APpqmQNET8Y

and "Can't Stop": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7NI0CJgq2s

I've also discovered Olly Murs this month.

His music just puts me in a good mood! 

"Troublemaker" (made me download his older album!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aQDOUbErNg

"Heart Skips a Beat": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5dFe-WKuPs

"Thinking of Me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy-NOcMh5DU

Oh, and this month, this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASO_zypdnsQ

Heart on my Sleeve

Do you ever feel that you show more than you're supposed to?

"If you only die once, I want to die with you." - Onerepublic

I find that my heart is perpetually in my throat or on my sleeve. Which is worse?

"I didn't know...I'll own every second this world could give. I've seen so many places and things that I did. With every broken bone, I swear I lived." - Onerepublic

In a sad attempt to be pretty, I take selfie pics all the time.

"I see your silhouette everytime I close my eyes, there must be poison in those fingertips of yours." - Olly Murs

In another sad attempt to be pretty, I dyed my hair red, and it's a bit uneven, but that's okay. I think it'll look pretty cool straightened.

March Music Must Have's

Check February for the links, but I'm continuing to enjoy Florence and the Machine for the month of March. She continues to amaze me.

I'm also enjoying Fun.'s "Some Nights" and "Carry On". Nothing new, but new to me.

And I love "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.

KHS and friend's cover of "Kiss You" was played frequently on our recent trip to Victoria. It's one of those boy band songs that you hate that you love.

Some "update" type pictures and nicer ones too!

 Phoenix is so cute. #crazycatlady #sorryimnotsorry

 Sunrise!

 My beauty cornsnake, Stellaluna.

 Myself and a Nuubie who looks murderous...

 And Pheeny is looking peaceful!

 Phoenix decided to get in my way.

 My first "false" nails...false sounds nicer than fake...anyway...these are gel with tips, I feel so pretty everytime I see my hands hehehe. They haven't looked this nice in years!

 I'm sorry, isn't he stunning? He just makes me so happy :)

All curled up!

Okay, so here's some "better quality" pictures I've taken and edited over the past little while.

 On the way home from Nanaimo, we drove through Qualicum and there were so many boats moored out in the water, waiting for fishing!

 Water drops on the outside of the windshield of the car, taken from the inside, with the sunset in the background, tweaked to make the colors brighter.

 Another from qualicum, I lked the contrast of the tree against the water and sky.

My favourite. Spring flowers are here :)

February Music Must Have's

Nataly Dawn's original album, "How I Knew Her", is beyond words. 

She seriously is amazing and so beautiful and talented, go check her out, you will not be sorry. I will link both her channel and Pomplamoose (her band) at the end.

Probably my favourite song from said album is "Please Don't Scream"...I'm not sure why, but I freaking love it.

 Another music pick this month is Florence and the machine's "Dog Days Are Over". Florence is gorgeous, she possesses a voice everyone should be jealous of, and her music is relatively unique (as unique as you can be in this day and age anyway!).
