The trailer for Jimmy Fallon’s Lip Sync Battle was finally released! Opinions?

The bloggersphere is prime with lots of blog advice this week for some reason. Or maybe it’s just my feedly? Brenna from Chic Street Style has 10 do’s and don’ts for new bloggers and Virginia from Live Love DIY has 1o tips for growing your blog.

And me this week? I did practically nothing. And it was great. I…

  • Binged on Gossip Girl. Obviously at the top due to its importance.
  • Worked 40 hours a week at the paper.
  • Visited Lansing for a Pizza House date with Seth.
  • Celebrated Biggby’s 25th birthday with a $1.99 peppermint white chocolate latte.
  • Went to Grand Rapids to visit my college roommate Caitlin! We had craft night and went to breakfast at Anna’s house. She also gave me a super belated birthday present (we never see each other) of a gorgeous strand of pearls.
  • Visited Seth’s hometown of Carson City, Mich. and went to all two of the bars there.
  • Celebtated a friend’s birthday at Peppino’s in Grand Rapids.
  • Accompanied Seth to his niece’s birthday party, also in Grand Rapids.

    You’re silly to think you did practically nothing this week. A lot of birthday celebrating. 🙂 Google Feud sounds amazing! I want to check that out. & I’m intrigued by Monica Lewinski’s TED Talk. Thanks for sharing, Randi!

    Okay so you inspired me again! I went to Loft to check out the sale and got a denim top and corduroy pants for $5 each! So keep sharing! I got pretty far into Gossip Girl a couple years ago but for some reason stopped watching. I ended up just googling what happened to all the characters after it ended :p

      I googled too but was in major need of some inspiration, so of course I had to obsess over Blair. And hooray for Loft sales!
