Golden Vlog: February 2015 Edition

Welcome back for another edition of the Golden Vlog series with Faith from Life with Mrs. G and The Artist! This link-up has quickly become one of my favorites and I look forward to doing it each month :)

Here are the questions for February:

1. Where did you grow up?
2. What state did/do you live in? {If you are comfortable saying}
3. Do you have siblings?
4. Do you have a nickname?
5. Did you have a pet growing up? If so, what was it?
6. Do you have any favorite stories from childhood?
7. What did you think your life would be like when you were older?
8. What is your most embarrassing memory?
9. Tell us your love story and what your plans are this Valentines Day.
10. What's your favorite Valentines Day Memory?

And now for the part you really want to see and probably just scrolled down to without reading everything above it, the vlog:

Golden Vlog: New Year 2015 Edition

Once again it's time to present my face in video form for everyone to ogle. #IKnowI'mPretty
Thank's Faith for giving me the opportunity to do so.

Here it is folks! The January Edition of The Golden Vlog! *Spoiler Alert* Bear AND Pumpkin try to steal my thunder. I think they are way cuter and definitely more fun to watch than me. And they know it, so they try to make sure they are seen every time I try to grab my own 15 mins of fame.

Here are those Giveaways I was talking about!

The Golden Vlog: Christmas Edition

No that is not my mantle, but oh how I wish that it was. I saw this at the resort I was at on Friday night. My friend Kaity invited me to crash her mom's Christmas party, it sounded fun, so I went. We had a great time! Anywho. Let's get to the reason you came here today.

This is my first time linking up with Faith for The Golden Vlog Series. After seeing everyone's videos last month, I gave in and decided to join. I hope you guys like it!

Have a super wonderful day and an even better weekend!

The Cup Song + Some Blogger Love

After several requests, I have made a video of my version of the cup song that I performed for my speech class on Monday. I got all smiles, applause, and so so many compliments afterwards. I am very proud of myself for actually doing it. I am conquering my fear of public speaking (and singing!) in so many ways by going back to school. If you choose to learn this too, please please make a video!

So without further adieux, my cover of The Cup Song.

As promised - The links to learn it yourself!

How to do the cup rhythm (you can either tap the top of the cup or the table) ---> HERE

Lyrics ---> HERE


Because this post can not be all about me (blush) and my song, I'm also going to share with you some of my favorite posts I've read recently.

The Importance of Being Naked - Awash with Wonder
I loved this post so much. Shannon has such a way with words and somehow manages to address topics like this with such realness and honesty that you can't possibly not like her.

Link Your Ink - Sage the Blog
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this link up! I love seeing people's tattoos and hearing the stories behind them! Do you plan to link up?

50 Facts About Me - Six One Six
Kelly is so freaking adorable (and so is DiNero!). I love her videos and I loved learning more about her.

A Grateful Llama List - The Rambling Llama
Not only did Melissa use a list topic from my #ListYourself Challenge, but she included me in her list!! How sweet is that?

Outgrowing Favorite Bloggers - The "Florkens"
Sometimes you just have to accept that as you grow as a blogger, some bloggers aren't growing with you and your tastes begin to change. While you still like bloggers as a person, their blogs just don't have the same pull they used to. Kate expresses this situation so well.

What blogs did you love this week?
Are you going to learn The Cup Song yourself?

Share the Love + The Accent Challenge

It's Friday chickadees! Friday means the weekend is here and I get to share with you some of my favorite posts I've read this week.

Let's start with:

1. Kate from The Florkens - Don't Try So Hard
This link up is amazing. It's so hard to get caught up in covering up our flaws, but sometimes we need to wipe the makeup off and love ourselves the way we are.

2. Kay from The Best of Intentions - Six Months
Turning 25 is kind of a big deal and some of us handle it better than others. Kay is handling it about like I did (check out my comment).

3. Anne From Love the Here and Now - 5 Things I Need to Survive
This list. 100% agree. It may be a bit shallow, but you know you need these things too!

4. Taylor from The Daily Tay - LinkedIn Suggests You Congratulate Taylor
Why shouldn't we get a pat on the back for our everyday victories??

5. Meighan from The Meighan Project - Lessons Learned
A little lesson in dealing with "haters" from your real life. (She has disabled comments on this post, but I still feel like it needs to be read.)

**************************************************************

Today is also The Accent Challenge. Kay did this last Friday and it looked super fun so Allie made it an official link-up. I am lucky to have some editing software, but this is the first video I've ever made and edited of myself. #n00b

A few things before you watch it:
1. I have the voice of a 10 year old girl.
2. I talk with my hands, but you can't see them *sad face*
3. For some reason I am sucking my teeth a lot making that weird "tch" sound. I have no idea what that's about.

If you are having trouble viewing the video click here. 

Funny story. While watching the part when I talk about my southern accent being heavier when I'm upset, Hubs laughs and says "That is why I can never take you seriously!" Thanks hunny. But ya know, at least it's an indicator of my distress.

And I will leave you with this song to start your weekend. It's got a great message and it's catchy. I hope it gets stuck in your head like it's been stuck in mine.

And if you like that, check out some behind the scenes footage from the video shoot here.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
