Advent Calendars

Every year me and my sister get advent calendars, whether it is ones with little chocolates from Trader Joes or a Starbucks one we always seem to have super cute ones! This year my mom got us the starbucks one and a online one from Jacquie Lawson.

The starbucks one came with a chalkboard with tins that were magnetic on it. Each tin had a date and inside was a little cookie and as a surprise one day you would get a mini starbucks card worth $5!

Jacquie lawson makes the cutest e-cards and invites. Her advent calendar was precious. Every day you would click on the date and a little animated video would pop up. You could also play games on the calendar like solve puzzles, decorate christmas trees, and read stories about christmas!

Music Monday: The Vaccines

Recently I have been on the lookout for some unique, new music. I came across this band called The Vaccines and I am OBSESSED! They have a upbeat, indie, punk rock sound. They are like a mix between the Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, and The Ramones.

 My favorite song by them is Wetsuit and Teenage Icon. I definitely recommend checking them out if your looking for a cool new band!

Tbt: Bunbury

Hi guys!
As I was looking through all my old photos I came across these ones from Bunbury, a music festival I went to last summer. I thought that you all would like to hear about my amazing experience so Im throwing it back on this fine thursday evening!
The festival is three days long and is held along the river in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Day 1: The first day we got to explore the place. We checked out all the stages, there were many, and got to even meet some bands! The tickets we bought were the vip tickets which let us have our own air conditioned tent and we got the chance to see many of the bands do an exclusive acoustic set inside of the tent.

Day 2: On the second day at the festival we didn't explore much but sat out in the heat to get front and center for the main acts that night, Paramore and Fall Out Boy, which was definitely worth waiting for. Many bands preformed on the main stage before them which was nice because we got to discover awesome new bands while waiting.

Day 3: On the last day I met up with some friends and we wandered around the area. It rained most of the day so some of the bands were held off until the storm stopped, but we made the best of it!
