A Different Wednesday Post....

Normally my Wednesday posts are reserved for the fun Oh How Pinteresting but this week I don't feel like going through Pinterest to find some funny/fashionable/cooking pins. Today, I want to talk about how I have been feeling for the past couple of days. If you don't want to get a bit emotional me maybe skip this post and come back tomorrow when I will hopefully be back to my normal self.

Yesterday, I had just finished working out on the treadmill and I decided to check my twitter to see if there was any new updates about Talia Joy, as she seemed to be having an okay couple of days. Then I see the tweet that tells me that my favorite little YouTube beauty guru has gotten her wings. 11:22am Talia became an angel where she doesn't have pain anymore and she can be free. I instantly felt empty and my eyes filled with tears. I wanted nothing more but for her to get a miracle and start to get better. I know how that sounds almost like a childhood wish that you know will probably never come true but this little girl was so amazing how could she ever be gone? I started watched Talia's YouTube over a year ago just by chance because I saw this bright face with the most amazing eye make-up! I thought someone must have done it for her but when I started watching the video I saw how amazing at make up she was! I think I could practice doing make up everyday and not be as good as Talia was. Then I watched some of her cancer vlogs and couldn't help but tear up not because she had cancer but because she was so upbeat and knew she could fight it. She also had no fear when she did her vlogs, she told it how it was. She wasn't going to sugar coat it and that is how she wanted it told to her. She was an old wise soul in a 13 year old body! I will forever remember that smile, laugh, silly face. If this world had more Talias we would be living in a much better place but there could only be one Talia Joy. My prayers go to her family and my love is being sent to the heavens where I'm sure she is surrounded by love and the most amazing make up room. 

As I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks I feel blessed to have been touched by Talia's story, I will try to live my life to the best it can be, I will love unconditionally and try to leave this world a better place. Thank you for being you little angel.

You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted.

We can always be chasing the sun!

So fill up your lungs and just run

But always be chasing the sun!

This week heaven got two amazing angels. I normally am not affected like this when hearing about deaths outside my family/friends but I can't get Cory Monteith out my head since I heard about this death. It just doesn't seem real that he is gone. You never truly know what people are struggling with. I believe he was fighting and trying to win the battle he had with his demons but sadly the demons won. Just remember don't judge a book by its last page. I'm going to remember him as a great talent and wonderful person.

RIP Talia Joy and Cory Monteith

This Weekend I....Weekend Update

Welcome to Monday Again! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend! I know I did! And I have NO pictures to show for it! I swear I need to make a better effort with my picture taking on the weekend especially! Anyways, lets get on with this post!

On Friday night I had a super chill night, I wasn't feeling all that great so I just lazed around most of the night. Saturday, again I was pretty lazy and it was hot so why not really! I did have to run out and get the rest of my present for my lovely Danielle since it was her bridal shower yesterday! I also got some big news that one of my friends is getting married in TWO WEEKS! Yup, wasn't expecting it but great news for sure! Spent most of my Saturday night texting and FBing about that news! haha

Sunday was Danielle's bridal shower as I mentioned before and it was a lovely (very hot) afternoon. Her sister Monique hosted a fantastic shower for her! The weather was super hot but we all dealt with it in style! This should just show Danielle how much we love her! They had a lovely spread of sandwiches and sweets, can we all agree on the fact that sandwiches taste so much better at showers!? We course did the how well do you know Danielle games and all that fun jazz. I'm not a big cheesy shower game player but the games Monique planned were the good ones! Our party favors was a little tea cup with lavender planted in it! I'm hoping I don't kill the lavender! After the shower, I headed to dinner with my momma and Erica at Montana's and it was delish! After that we headed home and I spent the rest of my night reading The Storytellers by Jodi Picoult and wow such an amazing book so far! I have never read anything by Jodi Picoult before but Erica has read most if not all of her books and Erica said this was her best one and it isn't quite the same as most of her books. I'm totally wrapped up into this book! A very good read for anyone looking for a new book!

Now, I wasn't sure I wanted to bring this up on my blog just because I find it so sad, but as a Glee fan I wanted to send my love and prayers to all of Cory Monteith family and friends. As many of us did I woke up to the news of him being found dead in his hotel room. I was shocked and when I saw it I didn't even want to believe it like it must have been some kind of twitter death joke but when you see things on CNN it makes it all too real. I know none of his family or friends will never see this blog but I'm heartbroken for them, I could not imagine losing someone like that. No one had bad words about him, he took as much time as he could for his fans and he worked hard. He didn't seem to have the Hollywood attitude many younger stars get. This just makes me so sad. He was young, talented, handsome and kind. 

RIP Cory Monteith
