There's A Lot of Buffy Going On Around Here...

I took this with my iPhone!

It's raining, it's pouring! We have tornado warnings in Jersey and the roads are flooded and cables are coming down all over the place! I took a picture of myself when I was coming in off my lunch break. Just take a look at my arms. Totally drenched. My pretty braid I had going on was destroyed, I had to stuff my back with paper towels to dry myself. Just horrible weather. These are the days I like to snuggle up under a blanket with hot chocolate and read a book. I finished the first Sookie Stackhouse novel! Can't wait to get another! They had a deal on ebay for the whole set but this is a crazy weeks for apartment bills so I really don't have the extra cash to get the set. It is $40 for 8 books including the one I have already but $8 a book at the store. So I'd be saving money if I bought the set but I really am going nuts not having that to read every night. It was the perfect way to end my night.

I think I found a good dress for the wedding I have coming up. I was going crazy trying to find one. I already knew I wanted it to be blue and my boyfriend is the best man in the wedding so I know I am going to be in lots of pictures. I plan on my hair being a lot blonder so I wanted a pretty blue dress to go with it that wouldn't break the bank. I was thinking I would rent on on Rent the Runway but by the time tax and shipping come in I could end up buying a dress I like for the price and being able to keep it. Sure, it wouldn't be an Alice and Olivia dress but no one around here besides me really is crazy interested in fashion. I am a lone wolf I tell ya. Anyway I was looking on ebay and found a LC by Lauren Conrad dress for under $20. I snatched it right up and hopefully it won't be too big on me when I get it. Sometimes the sizes never fit me right and a size 2 that might fit perfectly in another dress, wears on me like a size 6. They didn't have the 0 I wanted so I took a chance and praying it fits. As you can see in the picture, it is blue just like I wanted and has the most gorgeous pattern of flowers. Now mind you, the best man and groomsmen are wearing linen suits not actual suits and that is why I think this dress will be dressy enough. It is supposed to be a very casual beach wedding so I think this will be great, especially with my Buffy blonde hair I'll have by then! I think it is a gorgeous dress and I love how it looks on Lauren Conrad. I love blue dresses or blue shirts with blonde hair. I think it just looks really good together. And even if it comes in and I put it on and it doesn't seem dressy enough, I still found a very cute dress and got it for under $20-brand new I might add. I'm happy with my new purchase. I also got 3 Zoya nail polishes for the price of one! They sent me a coupon and if you bought any one product you got two nail polishes for free. I was like, "Woah! Can't pass that up!" So I didn't! I got the colors Barbie, a gorgeous pink that I'll wear with my new dress, Petra, a darker gray for the fall, and Buffy, a shimmery champagne color. I'll admit I couldn't pass up getting Buffy, strictly because it was called Buffy. I know, it's sad. It's probably even sadder that I do that all the time, as in I tried the Buffy bar at Lush because it was called Buffy, not because it had a cult following. It all worked out though, I love the Buffy bar, hopefully I'll love my new Buffy nail polish, and I still love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and my hair will be Buffy blonde soon!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the day, the sun is trying to peak out as I'm writing this. If it does rain again tonight I am making hot chocolate and since I don't have a book maybe I'll watch Buffy! You should watch Buffy! Until next time!

Have a Buffy filled night,

Christine

Saturdays, To Do List, Boots!

Ahh Saturday. My favorite kind of Saturday is one where I have nothing too important to do and I can really decide how my day goes. That is the kind of Saturday I have today! I do have something to do later tonight but I'm not even going to think about that until at least 5pm. I always like when I get a peek into someone else's schedule by seeing their today list so I thought I would share mine of what I might like to do today because as I'm watching this all I'm doing is watching Food Network! Anyone else love to watch other people cook food?

Christine's To Do List 

1. Read some of the first Sookie Stackhouse novel (I'm 75% done!)
2. Treat myself to my Lush face mask.
3. Write up my yearly Christmas notes (Since I bought my sister her first gift already, I have to start keeping track like what I bought, what I spent, others ideas for gifts) Some of you might think I'm crazy but August is going to fly!!!
4. Write up the recipe for my City of Angels idea (That's for Embrace Your Skin people! Super exciting!)
5. Cook lunch/dinner! I make a killer quesadilla! 
6. I might finally do my makeup and get dressed.
7. Outside concert with my boyfriend.

I love today! I don't usually have a day like this! I hope your day is as relaxing as mine!

I want to have like a Christmas series but I might do that on my channel because my family is more prone to read this than watch the videos. That probably won't be until October though because I don't want to seem all Christmas Crazy!!

I also wanted to share with you one thing I think I am putting on my Christmas Wishlist!

They are Steve Madden and I am in love with them! I really want them for fall so I might have to get them early for myself but we'll see!

This was short but hope you enjoyed!

xoxo,
Christine

Addicted to True Blood

True Blood. Ahh, how I love that show. I seriously have an addiction to it. On Sundays I am like jumping up and down because it comes on that day. I've always been into vampires and witches and things like that. I mean come on, I grew up watching Buffy. From the time I was 7 until currently I was love with that show. Technically, I was a late starter on True Blood. I bought Season 1 because I didn't have HBO at home and never opened it. I just didn't feel like starting a whole new series. Then someone got me Season 2 for a gift and I was like, "Wow, I should probably watch this considering I have both the seasons." But I didn't. Then I started dating JJ and he had HBO. So when his Aunt started saying how much she loved the show I got extremely interested. Me and his Aunt seemed to have a lot of the same tastes in TV. So I was like OK let's crack open this DVDs and start watching. I finished both seasons in like a week! Then I watched the few episodes I had missed on On Demand in a day and started watching them week by week. Now to go from being able to watch a new episode everyday then all of a sudden have to wait a whole year for Season 4 to start it was rough. Now that I am in my own apartment, I made sure we had HBO installed because I just didn't want to wait for the DVDs when I knew it would be airing every Sunday!
                                                  
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Season 4 started and I love it. Mainly because I am not a huge fan of Bill. I am 100% Team Eric all the way. I want a t-shirt that says that. Hmm, I might go look for one online. Found one!! I'm most likely going to buy that! I will post a picture of my cute new tshirt if I decide to get it, actually I'll post me wearing it if I get it. Here's what it looks like--->. Anyways, Sunday's episode made me so happy. For one, Eric's butt is something I can look at all the time so the shot of it from last night was great! Also, he is super cute in Jason's clothes. I love his character even more since his memory got wiped because he is just so innocent. I like the bad boy thing definitely but a bad boy with a shot of innocence is hot! I always chose the bad boys for the lead girl. I was always Team Spike on Buffy too. My name is Christine and I am guilty of liking bad boys. Not in real life though, my boyfriend is a sweetie. Only in the television world do I fall for their charm and smoldering stares. Sunday's episode also made me happy because like I said I don't like Bill and he walked in on Sookie and Eric started to get all naked with each other. Another reason I loved the episode, it really started the whole Sookies and Eric relationship. My boyfriend sits in his recliner mocking me saying, "It will never last with them so don't get excited or else you'll cry when it ends!" He is probably right but I don't care I am really excited about the two of them and I wish they would just stay together. I guess if I get ahead of the show when I'm reading the books I could find out. Anyone know how the seasons lace in with the books?And if you watch True Blood, let me know what you thought of Sunday's episode. I am dying to talk to someone about it!
