I wish I could have a library

One day... I will have a library.

Until then, I will ask for a nook for Christmas.

My friend just sent me this coupon. If you click the image below you will receive a free $25 for books.

What I want for winter

A green parka jacket with a fur lined hood...

This winter, I am seeking out a coat that looks just like this! However, I can't find it...
I want it to be homeless chic looking (haha yes, that is what I said).
Hunter Green
Shearling lined
Faux fur hood
and cozy cozy cozy.

Any Suggestions on where I can find this?

Also... What are you wanting this winter?

Free music... that is good.

I get it... we all use spotify, pandora, and grooveshark.

Here is the thing.

Living in New York City, sometimes you need music on your ipod. Subways for example, don't pick up Pandora. Then you're left listening to the awkward conversation going on next to you.

I've gotta say, Starbucks and Urban Outfitters have some pretty rad music to download.

One of my biggest cravings is Cake Batter Blondies.

These are seriously one of the tastiest baked goods I have ever had.

My best friend Gracie created this recipe, and its something that I think NEEDS to be shared!

Top 5 songs that make you feel like a girl

Sometimes ( and only sometimes) do I think it's okay to act really girly.

To believe that soul mates exist.
To like ribbons, cupcakes, and cheap accessories.
To picture what your future home may look like.
And to listen to music that makes your heart beat a little faster.

Well, today I am going to share with you 5 songs that do just that.

1. Blue Foundation- Eyes on Fire (Dubstep Remix)
Okay, this song is amazing for a multitude of reasons. One being that it's from Twilight, and so that automatically makes it both girly and emo. Second, Dubstep just makes everything better. Period.



2. Sia-Breathe Me
This video is a piece of art. I could just watch it over and over again. This song is a lullaby.



3. Stars- Dead Hearts
I first heard this song on the trailer of one of my favorite movies. Like Crazy. The song is so pretty and yet tragic. The way they sing this song together is even prettier.
"Tell me everything you saw
They had lights, inside their eyes..."

 


4. Mike Posner- Please don't go
This song is a bit different than the other three... It's a bit more clubby. However, I have a friend that played this acoustically and it became one of the most romantic songs ever. 

5. Ray LaMontagne- Be Here Now
This is hands down the most romantic song I have heard recently. I seriously can't get enough of Ray LaMontagne, and I think this song could make my heart burst.

"Don't lose your faith in me,
and I will try not to lose faith in you.
Don't put your trust in walls,
'cause walls will only crush you when they fall."

What songs make you feel girly? ( Do not say "Girls just wanna have fun...")

Where did I find this inspirational picture?

Pinterest

Pinterest is every girls dream. The site allows you to create boards or things you like. 

Let's just say, it's a bit of a digital collage.

I remember in highschool, cutting out my favorite quotes and pictures from magazine to inspire my day. Now you can make boards of things you want, things you like to eat, perfect quotes and just about anything.

Why is New York City the best place to live?

Charity: Water

Above: Kyle Adair, Cristina DiVuolo, Jessi Marquez

1.1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water on our planet. To make this number hit a little closer to home; that is 1 in 6 people that do not have access to clean water. Most of us don't think twice about using, drinking and wasting water.
Last night, February 11th, As Good As Its Guests attended the Valentine's Day Charity:Water event. The fundraiser aimed to raise money and awareness for this great cause. The event, hosted by CCScene's Chloe Cohen, was held at Midtown West's rooftop venue, HighBar. The red carpet entrance was lined with yellow fuel containers. The containers represented those that carry the water, that families in Africa dig through the sand to find. 

Guests were able to mingle both inside and outside on the rooftop. We enjoyed the picturesque views of Manhattan and an open bar of sparkling wine and vodka. Mini cupcakes, candy and bottled water adorned the bar and the mood was set by dim lighting and pink votive candles.

 DJ Luv Nasty and Cindy Kim spent the evening playing hits from the comfort of the venue's VIP Lounge area. A silent auction was held throughout the night to raise additional money for Charity:Water. The auction consisted of gorgeous jewelry, signed sports memorabilia and awesome artwork. The guest list was full of colorful characters and eclectic personalities that joined together for the same wonderful cause. We would have loved to have had the chance to speak with the organizers of the event but their red carpet step and repeats were..well, rather repetitive. If you would like to get involved with Charity: Water, please visit http://www.charitywater.org/. 100% of Charity: Water's proceeds go to the funding of clean water solutions and for a donation of just $20, you could provide clean drinking water to one person in Africa for one year.
