Summer Bucket List!



Hello KooKooBabes!

   With the start of summer just a few days behind us I decided to share my summer bucket list with you lovely readers. I kept it simple and to only six things to do-two things I've already crossed off. Below is each item on my list and then what it means or why it is on there, well, here we go.

1. Bonfire on the Beach
   Even though every person in a summer movie or a music video has a bonfire at the beach and it looks like so much fun and everyone has an amazing time, they aren't exactly easy. First things first; in my town if you get caught making a fire on a beach you get in a lot of trouble. Then again I'm a rebel and really want to test the waters and light the sand attached to the water on fire!

2. Night Swimming
   I've swam in a pool at two in the morning a million times but in the bay, I've never done that! Secretly because I've been afraid that something creepy will grab me and drag me down but I will face my fears and jump on at one in the morning!

3. Stargazing
   Yes, I'm that lame person who can look up at the stars for hours and be totally happy. I just haven't had the time to do it lately but I would really love too, and if it was on a boat in the middle of the ocean...my life would be complete. 

4. Strawberry Festival (Done it!)
   In my town in June we have this festival called the strawberry festival, and almost everyone goes. Theres rides and games and a bunch of food and yes a million strawberries! I haven't been in like five years but this year I went and honestly it wasn't the best and way too over priced, but hey I did it! 

5. Hookup with an Osprey 
   I'm not talking about bird I'm talking about a baseball player. In the summer the towns out here have a string of summer collegiate baseball teams with college baseball players. Otherwise known as my weakness. They come from all over America and they are almost all attractive as all hell, I am determined to make out with at least one of them. I'm a cleat chaser....so sue me?  

6. Get another tattoo (Did it!)
   I already have two and now I have another. Something about the summer just makes me want to go to a shop and get something permanently inked onto me. Yesterday I actually did it, I went to my favorite shop on Long Island and got a tattoo on my ankle. A video will go up on my channel SharpiesVlogs6 eventually.

I hope some of you have summer bucket lists too and I hope that you are able to cross everything off like I hope to do.

Revamping My Closet!

Hello KooKooBabes!

     The other day I opened my closet and realized-like every other teenage girl-I had nothing to wear! Okay, well, I did have a lot to wear but I didn't like any of it or I wasn't going to like any of it. Except, unlike other girls who would shut their closets and move on, I ripped open the doors and started throwing things onto the floor. It was time to finally get rid of those clothes I was never going to wear.

    After having quite a big pile of blouses, dresses and shirts I put on hangers, I moved onto my drawers getting rid of all those tank tops that are "So totally cute" but I "So wont wear" anytime soon. That was a huge pile of clothing just with my hanging tops from my closet and the tank tops from the drawer but I wasn't finished. I moved onto bottoms and removed almost everything! Honestly why did I think capri yoga pants with tribal print on the hip would ever look good?! I had a huge pile of clothing and passed it on to family friends after doing so I felt happy and clean and already started to plan my new wardrobe.

    The thing is I crave change in simple things often, like my entire closet. I wanted to go back to basics, I had to many clashing styles and I was sick of it. I gave myself a deadline; the start of fall semester I would have a completely clean fresh and new filled closet. I'm ready for this and feel good about changing my life. Simple things in my life like giving away a pile of clothes can make me feel so good, my lungs get lighter and I just get so much inspiration to start new.

    I felt good about my need for change and was started to stock up online carts in some of the my favorite stores that night, it really helped me sleep better that night. The next morning I went to my closet ready to be happy about the fact I had "Nothing to wear" but realized I actually still have so many clothes! I even found something to wear! I guess I'll be doing a few more clean outs before my closet is perfect...stay tuned!

A New Bed Can Change A Person!

CozySoft Bed Set "Amy"
Hello KooKooBabes!

   The other day I went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get a duvet cover for my bland not fluffy or inviting duvet insert. I love Bed Bath and Beyond because I am a house wife in a 19year olds body, I love to purchase home supplies like cook wear, candles, and picture frames. Weird, I know but I am who I am and that store excites me. Bed Bath and Beyond also has a million options for creating the most inviting bed ever.
   I grabbed a cart and strolled though just looking for a purple duvet cover, that was it a simple comfortable purple duvet cover. That apparently does not exist anymore; no, it ins't just purple, they have patterns and designs and three different colors along with purple! No duvet cover appealed to me and I was getting incredibly discouraged then I found the comforters. Still, with three different colors and an interesting butterfly design but I grabbed it and went home. The second I took it out of the bag and felt it I was in heaven. This comforter is the softest thing ever and the sheets I bought along with are actually pretty nice, I usually hate sheets and end up putting a blanket over the top but these I don't need. After making my bed and making it look nice-and taking this picture above of course-I felt instantly better.
   The room got lighter, felt bigger(which is amazing since it's smaller then my dorm room!), I felt safe and all because of some new bedding?! It's awesome how sometimes the simplest of things like a change of sheets can make a person feel so much better, make their heart lighter and spread an uncontrollable smile across their face.
   I get like this with a lot of things that shouldn't do that like getting school supplies, or in this case buying new bedding. I guess that makes me really weird huh? Well, oh well I'm weird; my bedding puts me in a great mood and makes me feel safe.

I Want To Do Nothing.

Hello KooKooBabes!

A few weeks ago I got let go from a summer job that I was training for, and I was so happy. Sure, rejection and being let go is embarrassing and public so it made me uncomfortable but in a way I was happy it happened. I did two days of training and realized that I didn't want to work there, I was not like the people I was training with, I didn't care about it. Why even apply if the first place? You ask, well this is what hit me; It had an expiration. I didn't want to do that retail job forever, no it started in the beginning of summer and ended when I went back to school. It wasn't a constant thing it was like milk; once it was expired, there wasn't any chance going back. This made me realize I want to do something with my life that isn't always the same. I don't want to work an office job, a typical 9-5, I would honestly go insane! 

This made me touch on several topics like what am I doing with my life? I'm going to school for Event planning, its a topic I love and I'm good at but I love it because it always changes! Every event is different, even if it's the same event every year you change things every time. It is not a constant thing; yes it is planning events over and over but its a different one every time which I love. Except, do I want to do this for the rest of my life? I have no clue I do want to do it for a long time but I also want to do a million other things!

Where I want to live is also a topic-this issue of being let go- that became apparent. I had always said I wanted to live in California. I wanted to build my own house in the Palisades, have a cabin up in Lake Arrowhead, raise a family, have nice things, give my children and husband the world, live a damn near perfect life. Getting rejected from my dream California school last year also-in a way-rejected the whole idea of California from my mind completely and, I hate how that happened. Florida is great I really like it, but it doesn't have what I want. New York I also love but it's cold and I can't stand that where I live currently is so far from everything. California has been where I wanted to be for nearly seven years now how could I ever lose that dream! Last week someone asked me where I wanted to be in ten years, you know what I said? 'Where ever my husband is I will be happy' I'M SINGLE.

How insane does that sound?! I'm 19 I don't have a boyfriend or anyone tying me down, I wanted to do a million things and I lost sight of that. I'm glad I was let go, I really truly am, because it opened my eyes to what I was forgetting and what I really wanted in life. Which is to be happily married, with children, owning my own company, in my custom made home. Oh and did I forget to say, it's in California.
