Book Talk: Top 15 Books of 2015 & 2015 Wrap Up

I read a lot this year. Like, a lot. I'm gradually working my way up to reading 100 books in one year. That's a tall order. I'm taking it easy and setting realistic goals but I'm still pushing myself. The goal I set at the beginning of 2015 was 80 books but when I completed that in November, I extended it ten more books. I just barely made it, which makes me even prouder of my accomplishment. If you're curious to see what my Year in Books looked like, you can click that link because Goodreads so graciously put it together for me. Now what are you waiting for?! There's a lot to get to under the read more!

#hairoftheweek: Rope Half Halo

Last season I challenged myself to come up with an original hairstyle every week. It definitely wasn't easy but I made it through and I am very proud of myself for that. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but since I'd been thinking up hairstyles for three months straight, it's become a habit. This week's hairstyle was an original that I came up with without thinking about. Even my subconscious wants to keep creating. It'll take some time for me to remember that it's okay to use tutorials now.

Movie Moments: Top 5 Movies in 2015

In the past couple years I've been seeing more movies in theaters and it's become a tradition to catch a flick with my friends or family. Recently there have been more and more movies coming out that interest me, probably because I'm aware of a lot more of the new releases. This year I saw a total of fourteen movies in theaters. That's a lot. I figured that since I spent so much money at the box office, I should at least make a blog post about it. Think of it as research.

Book Talk: December Wrap Up

Happy New Year! I hope you had a fun and safe celebration. It's 2016! It's hard to believe this is my twelfth monthly wrap up and I'm really glad I started xo, Yvette and used it as a way to keep track of my reading. Now I'll be able to remember why I liked the books I did. I also hope you're able to use this as a reference if you need some recommendations or wanted to know what I thought of a book. This was a very successful year for me in terms of my Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge because I reached my goal of 80, bumped it up ten more books, and reached that goal too! Will 2016 be the year I finally read 100 books?! I guess I'll have to read and see. For now, check out what I read in the final month of 2015 under the read more!

Happy Hub: Star Wars, Christmas, Four, & More!

There is so much to get to this month I don't really know where to begin. (Clearly I'm just saying that because we always start with Tunes, don't we?) I feel a little pressured because this is the last post of 2015. I have to make it a good one! I think I did a pretty good job but ultimately you'll be the judge of that. December's such a busy month it'd be a shame if I left something out so definitely let me know what I missed in the comments! Click that "read more" to see what I remembered to include!

#hairoftheweek: Fall 2015 Recap

Now that we're officially done with the season, it's time to consolidate everything into one post for your viewing pleasure. It's like a gallery of sorts. I'm really proud of Fall 2015 because I came up with all the hairstyles myself so each of them have an extra special place in my heart. It's been a memorable season and everybody seemed to be enjoying it as much as I have. Click on that "read more" to see all of the hairstyles from Fall 2015!

Visiting Voices: Christmas Movies

I wanted to do something special for Christmas and seeing as the big day is still two days away, there's plenty of time left to sit down and enjoy some Christmassy flicks. I've recruited my roommates to pitch in their all-time favorite Christmas movies for this post so you can get a taste of what our apartment will be watching this season. Under the read more there are three of our favorite Christmas movies (and why we love them) and we'd love to hear what your favorite Christmas movies are so let us know! Let's get to it!
