Hello Darlings,

This Monday is Chargaux a string duo that instantly gave me shivers with their cover of Stay High by Tove Lo. They are both extremely talented and fashionable and entertaining so it's a pleasure to share them with you.

Hello Darlings,

This Music Monday is a remix on a hit of early 2014 that I thought really gives a different take and feeling to the words that give me shivers every single single time. I really love it and I hope you do too.

I found this cute tag and thought it would be fun or interesting to do to bask in the last rays of fall before winter come alongs and swamps me with dreary days waking up to constant snow. So cuddle up with some blankets and lets delve into the fall spirit.

1. 1.Favorite thing about fall?

I think the weather and leaves, or just outdoors altogether because it its really beautiful.

2.Best Halloween memory?

I’m not really much of a halloween person, but probably when I twinned with my friend as a mouse.

3. 3.Football games or Moving Nights?

I don’t go to football games often, but when I do get to go it’s really fun, so going to football games but definitely not for actually watching the game.

4.Favorite fall Starbucks Drink?

I don’t really change my drinks at Starbucks but any kind of Chai is very autumnal to me.

5.Name a song that gets you in the fall mood.

Gold rush by Ed Sheeran is very fun and puts me in a good mood in the mornings before school.

6.Hot chocolate or Tea?

This is actually really hard but I think tea because I could drink that at anytime of any day and not be tired of it.

7.Sweaters or hoodies?

Sweaters, because they’re cute but still extremely comfortable.

8.Fuzzy Socks or slippers?

Fuzzy Socks so I can slide around on hardwood.

9.Favorite Thanksgiving food?

I actually have no idea because we cook different things every year but probably the turkey or corn bread.

10.Have you ever jumped in a pile of leaves?

No, but I would actually really want to.

11.Scarves or Beanies?

Scarves are my absolute everything, but beanies are cute also.

Thank you for reading!

I changed my blog name, Yay. If you don’t know my old name , um ok fake friend, but I used to be Free the Teen which didn’t fit because I came to the realization that I wouldn’t actually be a teenager forever -only 6 more years - so the name does not have staying power. I kind of like my new name ‘Said Mary’ it’s cute for now, let’s see how cute it is in about a month when my next yearn for change is awoken.

Colleges?

I am still so confused about my future. At one end of the spectrum I want to be a singer/songwriter, the dream that I had always wanted but pushed aside as foolish since I have been a child. But at another I want to be a Young Adult Author and just spend my days happily writing. Perhaps a combination? And these are only some of my goals, there are still so many more that I want and hopefully will achieve. Returning to the actual topic here I think I know which college I want to go to which is Columbia University, but I also would really like to go to New York University (or NYU as the cool kids might call it, I wouldn’t know).

Writing!

This is probably the thing I’m most excited about recently. WHO’S LAUGHING NOW GOT 10K READS. This is absolutely amazing, getting to see one of your dreams/ goals being kind of achieved. I just need to get off my butt and write more chapters, and frequently too. But I also want to write other books. I have way too many just sitting as ideas that I really want to actualize.

Photography!

Nothing really to say here but I really want to get back into it as a hobby. I think I’m just rambling at this point.

Personality?

I’m not really a shy person anymore but I find myself being more of a modest person and would rather let someone else stand out until i’m kind of forced or pushed by someone else to - for lack of better words - strut my stuff. I think I do this because I dont want to seem like a cocky b*tch, but it’s kind of depressing watching someone else get something that you could’ve/should’ve if you would have gotten up and said something. So from now on goal is to be a bit more showy and outgoing? If you dont like it? Not my problem.

I think I’m done, Thanks for reading!

Be free. Be you. Mary

I love the way you make me feel, the way you smell, the way you make everything golden and cozy. When you stroll right up everyone turns and stares. but no one stares as long  and as hard as I do. I know this is real.Everything about you is stunning, your style, your music taste, you always make the best food, you cradle me better than all the others. I know you said you can’t be committal but, please.

Try...

Only three months, this can only be a fling, I’ll be back in a year. That’s what you always say.Winter doesn’t make me happy like you do.The ever present freezing me out, so many layers between us, everything is dead around winter.Please, stay longer.

Your faithful admirer,

Mary

So here I am starting my makeup look with a clean face, all washed and cleaned up and moisturized. ALWAYS remember to moisturize and push back your hair to keep it out of your face for the time being.

  

Then I actually started my makeup look by first dotting my foundation on my face then attacking it with a stippling brush to blend in and cover anything I do not want showing like bags under my eyes or little marks on my face and I actually really like this foundation because of the easiness to use and take places with me and even apply without looking at what I am doing.

After, I did a simple winged eyeliner, not too much, just little bit to look casual.I did this by first lining my eye with a small line on my upper eyelid then adding a small line going along the area where my eye naturally turns at the end to the end of my eyebrow for my wing. To make my eyes brighter and to dispel the last bits of sleepiness from my eyes I added a small hint of gold shadow at the corner to brighten up the whole area.The topping off my eyelashes with mascara.

Then to finish off this makeup look I applied my raspberry lip butter to moisturize my lips then applied my Shameless lip balm to finish off the look but if you want the color to be darker you can skip the lip butter underneath.

 

Thank you for reading and I hope you liked it.

Hello Darlings,

Fall is coming!!

I actually think fall is becoming my favorite season now with all the amazing fashion, and food, and weather, and scenery and of course music. Fall just seems to have just a nice chill over all the other seasons that just makes me extremely happy and nice so I made a playlist with all of the slow/semi slow chill fall-ish songs that I love for now. Any commented suggestions would be nice because I am always looking for more, music and people that share my music taste.

Wow after an approximate eternity of wanting, and being  afraid, and not having at  least adequate equipment, I have finally done it.


 I made a cover.

FINALLY.

I have been trying for just about ever but honestly I am way too Type A to get anything done. I literally critique everything and re-record and am just unhappy with how it turns out but I finally kind of got over it and made it. It has a few mistakes in the guitar part and some recording errors and whatever but I just love it and am in love with it and can't wait to make more. I made a medley of Sweater Weather by the Neighborhood which is a great song by a great band that I embarrasingly listen to year-round instead of just in the fall like everyone else did, and of Not in That Way by Sam Smith, another amazing song by another amazing artist who I happen to be in love with personality wise and his song writing and just angel like voice.

Hi, this is my first actual post on Blogger instead of my tumblr so yay. This Music Mondays is Youth by Daughter which is actually a song my sister introduced me too and I have grown to love. It also has a pretty cool guitar part that I am in love with but am trying and failing to pull off but I'm working at it.They are also a pretty cool band but I have yet to check out more of their songs though.
