Clothing-- Sending secret messages?

Have you ever noticed secret messages in your clothing?

If not, its maybe time to look.

I've been wearing jeans a lot lately and have never really cared about what they looked like on the inside.

If I really payed attention, I would have noticed these secret messages a long time ago.

A couple months ago I went down to the states to go shopping.

I went to Lucky Brand Jeans, which has some great looking and great fitting jeans and bought 2 pairs.

When you try jeans on at the store, all you care about is what they look like on your body, but after wearing them for a long time, you should notice what they have inside them.

These are the items of clothing that I've found "secret messages" in so far:

1. Lucky Brand Jeans- On the zipper as you zip up your jeans it says "LUCKY YOU."

2. My other jeans- On the wash label at the bottom it says "GOD LOVES YOU"

I'll be on the look out for more. Leave me a comment with ones that you've found.

Planet Premiers-- Like them or not?

Planet premiers, do you like them or not?

If you don't know what a planet premier is, it's when a radio station or some other type of media plays all the songs from an album that hasn't been released yet.

Some may call it leaking an album, but the station has permission from the record label and artist.

So what is the reason for having a planet premier? I honestly don't know why.

When I pre-order an album I want to hear the music for the first time right when I get it.

It's supposed to be a surprise, that's why you pre-order the album.

To play every single song in its entirety on the radio defeats the purpose of buying the album.

What are your thoughts on this? Leave a comment and let me know.

The You to the Tube


Every now and then I come across a funny or interesting video on YouTube.

Most of the time I hear about them from my younger brother, on twitter, or randomly on websites.

Now one thing I like to watch and follow on Youtube are Vlogs such as Shay Carl and the Shaytards, KassemG, iJustine, and KevJumba.

I've never Vlogged before, but they make it seem like a lot of fun, and I'm thinking about trying it out sometime.

Anyways, my brother this week has been talking about this video where a goat yells like a man.

I thought to myself, "how can a goat yell like a man?" and I didn't think it would be funny at all.

Boy, was I wrong.

I ended up watching it for the first time last night thinking it was going to be stupid like some of the other things he's shown me, but all I could do is cry, roll on the floor, and laugh.

I've watched it about 8 times in the past 2 days and I have to say it's my favorite video on YouTube right now, but honestly this is something everyone has to see.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of this video.

TOMS Shoes-- One for One


About a month ago, I came across these really great shoes.

They were cute, colorful, comfy, and they had arch support which I really needed.

When I went into the store I was told that if I purchased a pair of these shoes, a child or person without a pair in a 3rd world country would get a pair as well.

I thought to myself, "That is such a great idea, buying something and giving something at the same time, who wouldn't want to support this cause?"

I'm a person who donates to charity frequently, and I love to help others in need.

I think everyone should buy a pair of TOMS shoes and wear them proudly, knowing that they're helping children, teenagers, and families who don't have any.

Think about going barefoot around your city. What lurks on the sidewalk and the roads, what you wouldn't want your skin to touch.

Now imagine being in the third world country where the ground, and roads are ten times as bad as what we have outside.

Now stop, and think.

Buy a pair of TOMS today to help out a great cause.

Song Lyrics Of The Day


Every Friday I think we all should kick off the weekend with the song lyrics of they day.

What are the song lyrics of the day you ask?

Well, I put my iTunes on shuffle and pick the top 10 songs and the lyrics I like from them.

Enjoy.

4. Give me a second go, don't let me go alone, you saw me at the worst you caught me fallin first all I wanted to know, give me a second go. -- Second Go- Lights

6. I'm so in love with you, my mind is set on you, this time and every time I just can't get enough of you, and when I'm stuck at home they think I'm all alone, don't know what I would do if they knew I was here with you. --Here with you- Allstar Weekend

Oh my, pet peeves!


Pet peeves, everyone has them.

We wouldn't be human if nothing annoyed us.

Wikipedia defines Pet Peeves as: a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree that others may find it.

People are annoyed by the strangest things and I have to admit that I do have a couple pet peeves.

1. Tags sticking out of peoples shirts-- I don't know what it is, but it gets me every time. Tags are meant to be kept inside your shirt, not showing on the outside. When I see friends with their tags hanging out of their shirt I have to tuck them back in. It's almost like the tag is lost and needs to be put back in its place.

2. Wobbly Chairs-- I can't stand wobbly chairs. It's not right! It really annoys me especially when you're sitting on the chair for a decent amount of time, and every time you move you keep tipping side to side or forwards and backwards. I remember in Spanish class back in high school we had to pick a chair and I would test out every chair until I found one that wasn't wobbly. When I found that right chair I could hear the choirs sing!

3. Using the word "all's"-- When people use the word "all's" in their sentence it annoys me! For example "All's I know is that I want to go back there." No! That's not right! It should be "All I know is I want to go back there."

4. When people move my stuff-- Another one of my pet peeves is when people move my stuff. I put it in a place that I will remember where it is and when someone moves it I go crazy 'cause I can't find it.

5. When people cut me off while driving-- Basically, if you don't know how to drive... get off the road.

Those are some of my pet peeves. If you have any crazy ones, leave me a comment and let me know.

Allstar Weekend -- stars for sure


I can honestly say that the band Allstar Weekend is my absolute favorite.

If you haven't heard of them before, which a lot of Canadians haven't, they are a four member boy band who recently were signed to Disney/Hollywood records after competing in Radio Disney's N.B.T (next big thing).

San Diego residents, Zach Porter, Cameron Quiseng, Michael Martinez, and Nathan Darmody started off as the band Allstar, named after the Smash Mouth hit "Allstar".

From county fairs, and random stage shows, the San Diego natives were discovered by a Disney representative while handing out flyer's outside the Jonas Brother 3D movie.

Lucky guys? I think so! Soon after, they found out they would be competing on Radio Disney against other music hopefuls to become Radio Disney's Next Big Thing.

A year later the band is releasing their first album "Suddenly" and is going on a summer tour touching every major U.S state and major cities in Canada.

Look for Allstar Weekend at a state or city near you.


Opinion:

Why do I like them so much? Well that's a great question isn't it?

They are multicultural! I love it!

What most girls like about boy bands is their good looks, good looks, and.. good looks.

This band is more than good looks, they have catchy fun electro/pop music, and they are real.

What I mean by REAL is:

After every show they go out and meet their fans, sign posters/pictures, they do live chats on Ustream answering fan question and saying shout outs (I got a shout out today, Zach said "Hey Alyssia in Vancouver"), and are just really involved with their fans.

I haven't got the chance to see them live yet, but if they come here I'll definitely have a ticket to their show.

I would love to get the chance to meet them and interview them for my blog and hopefully that day and chance will come.
