Random Favorites for March

20130404-202725.jpg

Hi all!

So for the last favorites post for March I have some random apps, noms, tv shows and so on that I have been loving throughout March. There’s quite a collection so let me just get started 😉

20130404-203203.jpgGoodreads: This is a website/app that I have really gotten into over the last month or two. Its a social media type of website for sharing info on what books you are reading and your opinions on them. I have found it a great source for new book inspiration and it also motivates me to get books finished (I’m aiming for 50 books this year). I also like the chance to ponder over a book and give it a review as it encourages me to think a bit more and be more critical over what I read instead of just finishing it, throwing it into the black hole that is my book shelf and never thinking of it again. If you are a member or decide you want to be than connect with me! My username is Lizzy Weaver (Lockhart). If you want to check out what I have been reading so far here is a post I did a little while ago :)

20130404-203125.jpgBrooklyn Cateye Sunglasses from CottonOn: Now that I am wearing contacts I have been enjoying being able to wear sunglasses again throughout Summer and this pair has been my favorite (although I think they may be a little too big for my face). I like the classic cat eye and the brown tortishell colour. For $10 I was pretty happy.

Spotify: My second computer program/app this month is Spotify which I’m sure most people are aware of (if you’re not its a music social media type of business with the ability to listen to radio stations, follow people’s playlists and create your own that you can listen to both online (for free) or offline if you pay the monthly fee of … something). I joined up to the 30 day trial and had heaps of fun downloading (legally) albums that I wanted to try out. I found lots of new music to try out (see my Albums of the month post for a couple of examples). I would love to keep up the paid subscription but at the moment I’m not sure. Luckily as a free user you still get to enjoy spotify online.

Sours Squirms: At the beginning of the month Edd and I had our little road trip/honeymoon and these were the sweets of choice for the duration of the trip! I love The Natural Confectionary Co. for attempting to make lollies slightly less evil and yet still delivering delicious morsels of sugary goodness. I also love sour lollies and these were….well, sour? Yum!

thereadables: Having gotten back into reading big time I found a youtuber who talks alll about BOOKS and I love her! Priscilla is cute, colourful (she even organized her bookshelf by colour, I can barely see what books I have with all the random piles I have going on) and shares each month a variety of book related videos including book hauls, reviews and more. Check out her channel if you feel like taking a break from all the makeup/cat videos :). She also has a tumblr which I am quite a fan of.

Modern Family: Okay so not a new favorite but this month Edd and I rewatched every season up until the current episode and I never get over how much I love this show. I made the mistake of watching it whilst at the gym and couldn’t control fits of laughter from escaping my body whilst cycling, I apologize to those who were lucky enough to my presence. Anyway above and below are two of my favorite quotes, can you tell I love Mitch and Cam?

Well that’s it for another month! What have you been loving in all things random?

Made Me Smile 18th of March

IMG_8798Hi all!

So Edd and I have been back from our Honeymoon for a week (2 weeks?) I think its just one week but it feels like FOREVER! The honeymoon was amazing and I smiled pretty much 24/7 but i’ll tell you more about it some other time. Here are some other things in the past week(ish) that made me smile!

IMG_9009Callie (a.k.a. the only thing that was good about returning) was SO adorable and cuddle hungry when we got home and ever since. When we got back she was a little scratched up so some neighborhood bully of a cat was obviously taking advantage of our departure! I’d like to see him show his face here now! Anyway, going off track, nice to be home with this fluffy face.

IMG_9047We got our first taste of the official wedding photos and I am so happy with them! Here is a little taster for you. Tomorrow night we go and get the hundreds more that the lovely photographer took for us and it is a big understatement to say I am excited.

IMG_9086Big smiles on the day that I applied for a job, was called in for an interview 2 hours later and half an hour later had a contract and a photo id company name tag! Wasn’t expecting that to happen so fast at all. Then 24 hours later, before I have done any of the training (or even signed the contract) I had two 8 hour shifts! I am now a caregiver/social worker for people who had accidents and need in home help for however many hours a day. By no means is the job perfect, mainly due to the “flexible” hours meaning I don’t have set shifts and no guarantee of a full time work load. But on the positive side its in the industry I want experience with and its working with amazing people who need some help and I need the money haha. The two BEAUTIFUL cats above were the babies of the Lady I was with, adorable right?

Oz_-_The_Great_and_Powerful_PosterEdd and I went to see this movie last week and I really enjoyed it. I loved the use of colour in the same way as the original Wizard of Oz movie and the actors and acting was rather superb. Cool story but mainly visually appealing. Sideline…I loved and was scared silly by the original Oz movie, does any one else remember that? With the mental asylum and all the heads? I want to watch it again but don’t know how to find it! That movie was weird…

IMG_9192My latest nail art attempt was some rainbows and I think they are pretty cute even if I haven’t made any attempt to clean up the mess. And weren’t too time consuming either!

Other things that made me smile this week:

784625_700bWe have been watching Modern Family quite a bit an this quote  I rather love as it fits quite well into my relationship with Edd.

Speaking of Edd , he keeps tweeting me pics of unlikely animal friendships (so adorable) and here’s a favorite:

friends~

Okay this one is a little embarrassing but I swear these burgers (Memphis BBQ Burger from Carl’s Jr) are DELICIOUS! I only had one (Promise!) and please, don’t even think to look up the calories cause YOU DON”T WANT TO KNOW! Callie likes them too

MemphisBBQBurger

Last up is a song I have been loving (and the album in general) by The Lumineers who somehow I hadn’t listened to before this week…strange… Listen to it Here (I’m sure you have all already heard it but I think its quite lovely).

That’s it, have a lovely week full of SMILES
