Free Glasses!

So I'm the biggest skeptic when it comes to deals and especially ordering online (all my parent's fault). ANYWAY! Clearly contacts have been promoting their site insanely and are offering select glasses for free and all you pay is shipping, you'd think that they're only giving away their crappy ones right? WRONG! So "Derek Cardigan" (amazing brand) have an immense amount of their glasses for free so I decided to grab a pair and they came in yesterday and I love them sooo much! I paid $17.03 for frames AND lenses, that's so unheard of. The fit is also perfect, I'm so excited and just overly joyous still.

Pharrell Williams

I recently came across "Artist Talk" by Pharrell Williams and it is amazing! I've only watched one episode (obviously going to watch more) and I was mesmerized, he interviewed the artists in such a calm and friendly manner which was perfect for the segment I found. What better way to quickly and efficiently educate one's self on artists out there than this?!

Train Insane or Remain the Same!

These are my ab goals.

Body Image

Body image. The two most frightening words to any teenage girl. As a teenage girl myself (18) I can honestly say that body image is such a roller coaster of a thing to deal with. I'll give you my story.

My dad is tall and skinny and my mom is somewhat short and normal sized BUT curvy. I like my father came out tall and skinny and as did my brother, my other brother and my sister, why are his genes so strong? I have no clue. Anyway, I've always been tall and skinny and had no problem with being skinny but being tall oh boy! Imagine ALWAYS being the tallest in all your classes ALL your life and being continuously reminded of that....every...single....day. So that was my life. It was annoying and I hated Ning tall but about 2 years ago I FINALLY decided to just accept my tall nature (because the guys in my grade finally passed me) and now I actually wish I was a bit taller. Crazy I know! As for being "skinny" that is another thing people would and still continually remind me of, personally I don't find myself skinny, I'd say I'm thin? Small framed? Anything but skinny. I like most girls went through a "I'm fat phase" and you may ask "Well Lovline, were you fat?" the answer is NO. Nothing close to fat at all. Looming back I have no clue what I was thinking but now I know better. I don't weight myself anymore, not attempt to lose weight even though 135 may seem like a huge number to some people (then again I'm 5'11).

I guess what I'm trying to get at with this is that girls needs to be reasonable when judging themselves and need to stop attempting to be "skinny" if you want to be fit then work for it. Starving yourself to be skinny is pure stupidity and damaging to your health and mental processes. I think tumblr is the main cause of that now a days. So learn to love your body and if you can't you can always change it in a HEALTHY way. There's no rush darlings.

PS. Some pictures of my body. NOT skinny. Thin and curvy.

I think I really need to blog more! So much has happened since my last post that I've completely forgot some events. The biggest event I can remember happened only a couple days ago so here it goes! So after being tall (5'11) for 18 years I finally decided to go and audition for modeling and happily got the part. Awesome right?! Ehhhh not so much. I thought I would be insanely excited and even though I was really happy I still didn't feel 100% excitement. The thought of modeling is cool and all but my heart is with Interior Design and I think I only auditioned because everyone tells me to model and it has been going on my whole life but truthfully I find nothing fun about standing around taking pictures. I also finally realized that I'm going to (corny alert) follow my dreams of becoming an Interior Designer. I've taken too many different paths and it's time to just do what I really want! Until next time :)

I take pictures almost everyday......iPhone 4 front camera obsession.

Indecisive Lovline

I'm surprised that I've never mentioned my indecisiveness on here yet since it's such a major part of my everyday life! If being indecisive were a disease or mental disorder my name would be all over that. But really, I can never decide where to eat, what to eat, what to wear, how to wear it, it's pretty bad y'all.ANYWAY this post is going to be about how I'm indecisive about the most important thing of all, LIFE. I've honestly changed career choices so many times and switched programs at schools a numerous amount of times as well. Despite all that and always saying I'm set on what I want to do I think this time around I actually am and I'm SO excited to apply for my new program (hopefully get in) and start doing what I actually live. This program is Interior Design by the way. I am honestly the biggest home fanatic out there and I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that making a career out of my obsession is the right path to take. I think the reason I applied for Geology, Environmental Studies, Psychology and Business was just to make my parents proud and have that fancy University program when in reality I'm not that type of kid, I mean sure in high school I was a major nerd towards the end but I finally realized that since I'm paying for school why not go out there be my prissy, girly, artsy,sophisticated self and pick a program that screams Lovline AND that is no doubt Interior Design. Sooo that was the rant of the day! Till next time nonexistent readers :)

Ps, This was not edited, if there are any errors I give out my full apologies, do not plan to murder me. I love you.

NEW YEARS!

So obviously it's the new year! I'm going to jump right into the gist if this post and say that I'm not much of a resolution maker because let's be honest MOST of us fail to even remember what our resolutions were by February, am I right?! But this year (and last year) I started this new thing where I would just have simple attainable resolutions and that worked out last year so I'm going to do that this year but with a little twist. My last year's resolution was to just be happy and 2012 was honestly an amazing year for me so this year my resolution is going to one again be happy and enjoy EVERYTHING! I know that sounds far fetched but just think about how happy and content you will feel in life if you're fully living out your days with a smile? That was beyond hippie and corny but it works for me so I'm Doug again folks! The twist is simply to work on my art and life goal which is to become an interior designer, I have u Neil this November to apply to the school of my dream so I gotta get my butt in gear. That is it for today :) Happy New Year again nonexistent readers!

And some pics of my NYE!

Shopping Trip!

Did a little required shopping today! I picked up some yoga shorts, fall boots,and face wash that came with free argon oil body lotion (which is amazing by the way). Can't wait to see how this face wash works.

HI! Have my face, got a new laptop so yeah it is now selfie central! and that's how happy I am to be doing sociology reading....

Family RANT! (NOT EDITED SORRY)

I'm on to my third post of the day guys, and I'm going to just say that it's because I've had two cups of coffee today and alongside that I'm just in a very chatty mood. Funny this is no one decides to text me today but when I'm in class during important lectures EVERYONE finds it necessary to start up a conversation with the oh so lovely Lovline (I'm not vain, I just find my name amusing to play around with). This post right here is going to be pretty sappy BUT whatever right? It's about my family and how much I honestly love them. I don't really give out much of my personality but I'm a pretty closed off person and I don't really show affection and it's not because I feel it's corny or anything I just don't do it and quite frankly I haven't the slightest idea why. Actually that's a lie, it's probably because I tend to live in my head and find it unnecessary to constantly provide the world with my emotions. I'm not ashamed nor am I embarrasses I'm a Virgo and that's just the way it is. Only Virgo's would understand. Back to the original topic, I do indeed love my family like CRAZY, not even going to lie I can be quite the itch B to them because when I get angry or annoyed my words can and will slash a human being in more than a million ways. I'm venomous and it kind of sucks to be the person I'm lashing out on. Not the impression I wanted to give out about my self because I'm honestly a very nice person and I respect everyone, I'm just not a nice angry/annoyed person :) But yeah random enough as dysfunctional as my family is they're pretty amazing individuals! My mom is the utmost annoying person in the universe and never seizes to dissapoint in the "Who can piss Lovline off in under a minute" category of my life, but she is also my biggest fan and supporter. I've probably changed and will continue to change my mind on what I want to do in life but throughout all the things I've came up with she's rooted me on 100% and never judged my choice, even when I was 6 and wanted to become a nun (AWKWARD!). Next up since I mentioned my mom, is my dad and OH BOY is there a lot to say about my relationship with him. We don't have the best father daughter relationship BUT I still love him endlessly and I know he loves me too. Honestly the only reason why our bond isn't as strong as it could be is because we come from two separate worlds and we're also the exact same people who coincidentally sit on opposite sides of the political fence of life. What I mean by that is that we have the same morals but approach them in different ways, for example he views the homeless as deserving the fate they have while I see it as poor human judgment and a lack of morality throughout the global community. He thinks that teens are these horrible creatures who need to be bound to their homes and books where I obviously think that we should be given the freedom to mess up and learn from our mistakes no matter what because I've definitely learnt a whole lot about my character from my MANY mistakes. All in all, we just have very strong personalities and it clashes so he sees my arguments and sometimes rude and arrogant and I do as well with him but that just shows that I am truly his daughter. Last but not least my AMAZING siblings! The second child ( I'm the oldest) my twin as I like to call him is also amongst the most annoying cell constructions I've ever come across but we're so alike it's honestly ridiculous. My two youngest siblings (ages 9 and 6) are purely my angels, I view them as my children as opposed to brother and sister. I've taken care of them all their lives and watching them grow up is such a beautiful thing (don't care how corny that sounds). I LOVE THEM! I don't know what I'd do without my family, they're so weird and embarrassing but I love everything about them.

Dracula and University...again

I'm aware I talk about University a lot but what the heck here it goes. I am currently engaged with the fine opportunity of reading Bram Stoker's Dracula for my first year English class and as a book worm I am openly going to state that so far this is not my cup of tea. I'm usually the type of person to start reading a book and even though the beginning doesn't catch my attention or seem to amuse me in any way, continue to read with interest because obviously the best is yet to come. With Dracula I've been experiencing the complete opposite of my usual reading style and judgment. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm not all too interested in the make belief story line or the Victorian book style but either way my attention span is very slim and I feel as though I'm skimming a lot of important information that could be of beneficial resources for class discussions and essay writing but oh well, that's why the internet is currently my best friend/resource. Hopefully after a few chapters my mood changes for the better and the count manages to spark a light in my heart for this odd and mysterious ways and behaviorism towards Johnathan Harker. I guess I'll blog every couple of days to keep updated tabs on how my readings are going just for the sake of observing my possible change of heart (if such an occurrence is to turn up). Wish me luck! as if that made sense....

Finally Pierced!

This is not going to be a long rant or anything, just wanted to share the fact that I finally pierced my nose and got my hoop after literally years of saying  I would get it done. I feel very much accomplished right now and it's a damn good feeling!

It's been a while!

So like the title states it has in fact been a while since I've posted here! Pretty positive nobody reads my rants/posts anyway but what the heck, I like writing nonetheless. Soooo since it's September 12th it's pretty obvious that I've started university already and I'm pleased to say that it is pretty darn awesome. Haven't really made any friends yet but I met some pretty awesome people during the oh so fun frosh week and that's always good right?! I guess I'm getting ahead of myself because I always expected to waltz into class and have great conversation with the person I sit beside or whoever sits beside me but everyone seems so focused and concentrated lol makes me feel sort of weird and a bit too friendly? I don't know but then again it is only the first week. I'm pretty sure people will eventually lighten up once we get more familiar with each other's faces and all that amazing post high school jazz. So far my favourite class is English and Psych comes right after that (since it is what I'm studying obviously) but yes English class has been pretty amazing and I've always loved English anyway so I totally knew beforehand that it would most definitely be my favourite class. Not to mention my prof is awesome as well. Not some old drone who has no sense of personality like I typically envisioned most profs would be like, but to my surprise only one out of my 5 are like that. I guess I should point out that my least favourite class and mainly because of the size (450 students) is sociology, don't get me wrong I love sociology and all but I'm not a fan of a class of 450 students....at all. 100 I can deal with but yeah that's out of control, I'm surprised I even snagged a seat. But yeah before this gets too long (as if it isn't already) I'll just stop here because I have to read half of Dracula anyway! Toodles for now non-existing readers...

Good mood!

I try to put myself in a good mood all the time but today it's just out of control, I love waking up happy and just knowing the rest of my day is going to follow that same path. First off I woke up to the perfect breeze and sunlight in my room, laid on my bed and just listened to Arcade fire for a good half hour, did some pilates stretches and now I'm here browsing tumblr and listening to more music. What makes it better is that I'm going out to sushi for lunch and honestly sushi is one of the things in life that makes me very happy lol as weird as that may be, it's true. Sushi and cupcakes are the only foods that will ever make me happy.

I really want a new job where I can walk in and just be happy about what I'm about to do and not whine and groan about my day. Job hunting soon!

Is it really worth it?

I'm honestly in the worst mood ever. I was supposed to be at the cottage right now but instead I'm here getting ready for work and missing out on one of the best weekends of summer for a job that I don't even like at all. I honestly wonder why we enslave ourselves to jobs that we really don't want to be doing just for money, I know money does run the world and all that but there are so many other things in life that can be enjoyed without the need and greed for money. I just wish I could quite my job, move away to a house in the woods or a farm somewhere far and just enjoy life as it is, without all the complications that we put upon ourselves. Is it just me or would life be much more simple if things went back to the way they used to be when things were merely 5 cents? I know it sounds insane and all but we're the ones who put "value" on things, before we roamed the earth as "intelligent human beings" there was no such thing as value and wealth, these things were never important, we're the ones who chose to  impose them into our conscious as being important and a very significant priority. I know I'm just one person complaining but I don't know why it's such a hard concept to grasp? People are so full of themselves and their material world that the simple things in life don't seem to matter whatsoever. It's honestly really sad and pathetic I'd say but it's ok as long as there are good ones out there there's always a possibility for a better world one day.

Lost Puppy

This is probably the most random post ever but it honestly bugs me how I have no sense of direction whatsoever! I've lived in this city for almost my whole life and I have no clue how to get around on my own :(  All I tried doing today was go to a library that I often go to with a friend to return my brother's book and I found myself on some random street that took me nowhere. I really need help and it's sad. Better yet I have no clue how to take public transportation to my university and school starts in what? 3 weeks? I.really.need.help. Maybe I just need a car and a GPS, then all my problems would be solved.

DREAMSDREAMSDREAMS

I honestly think I have the most simple/complicated dreams in life ever! All I want is to live somewhere in Europe in a cute house with an amazing balcony and view, as well as have a kick ass job like an interior designer, journalist, editor for a magazine, or an a & r. And to get there I would LOVE to take a nice long train ride and sip tea, read like 20 books and listen to my music. I need to make this happen somehow. There's no way I can stand to live in Canada for the rest of my life, I love it and all but it's so not for me.

Carleton University explorers!

Today I had quite the adventure with two of my friends who'll also be attending Carleton University in the fall with me. We went to hand in our "mandatory papers" and get our ID's but since I lost my wallet with all photo ID last week I couldn't get any of my ID's sadly :( and on top of that all the offices we needed were closed sooo I pretty much did nothing today but get lost at my future university, explore the book store, and find a spot to crash when I'm waiting for my next classes to start, yay! On the bright side we went to Denny's right after and it was a cute day especially since after high school we haven't really seen each other any more.  Anyways there WILL be more posts about uni because face it I'm going into first year and I'm pretty darn excited about that!
