Well, here we are again.

Happy Monday, loves.

 

 I hope that you all have a greay day ahead of you.
Personally, my classes got canceld and I don't have to work today, so I am enjoying the time I got sleeping in, and I am hopefully going to get the heck out of my house because I am going stir-crazy up in this hizzy. I also want to try and get my ducks in a row this week in blogland and get some posts ready for you all in the future.
 

Speaking of which....

I have a wonderful link-up happening with the totally lovely Jenna from Life is Sweet.

On Friday, February 15th, we are going to link-up and share what we did on Valentine's Day. Whether we had a special someone take us out for dinner, or we spend the night with our dogs watching TV. Make sure you catch up with us the day after V-Day and share your stories of head over heels love, or your pathetic single girl stories.

Today I am making everything short, sweet and to the point.
Hope you don't mind. Mama really wanted to sleep in this morning.

Have a great day, see you around soon.

Friday Fun: Valentine's iPhone Wallpaper.

Happy Friday, lovebugs.

 

I have been getting into the Valentine's spirt this week, as you can tell from my previous posts this week. Even though I may not have a significant knight in shining armor to spend the day with, I still have tons of people that mean the world to me, that I love very much, and this year I want to take the time to appreciate all of them. Like I say all the time, who needs a man when you have best friends?!

I do belive Sex & The City said it best:  "Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” 

 

On this Friday I am reflecting on all different kinds of love and I remembered one of my favorite Bible verses that I just so happened to make a wallpaper for you guys today for your Friday Fun!

 

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Oh, she's just being Miley...Marissa?

Today, I have a secret. Do you want to know what it is?

Come closer. Real close. Press your face to the screen.

No, not that close, back up.

Miley Cyrus inspired my blog.

I know, I know. Allow me to explain.
 

All throughout my middle school awkward stage I would spend my nights watching Disney Channel, and 99.9% of the time I would be watching Hannah Montana. I wouldn't care if I saw the episode 574 times before, I would watch it again until I could quote the entire thing word for word. I loved Miley - both Stewart and Cyrus. At the time, I was the biggest fan of the music she would make as Hannah aswell. I would be jamming out to it on my little iPod Nano, back when they weren't so mini. I ws the biggest fan and no one could tell me that me that it was anything less than perfection. And I mean, she had awesome guest stars like Jesse McCartney, Corbin Bleu, Selena Gomez and the JoBros. I mean, my teenybopper heart nearly exploded. When her 3D movie came out, my dad took me on Valentine's Day as my gift. I was quite literally the happiest person in the world in that moment.

 

And on goes my awkward life as a fangirl over everything Disney.

But, back to the whole point of this post which is how Miley Cyrus inspired my blog.

Coming up with a great name for a blog is hard. You want it to be different, unique and reflect you. I had many other names before I was Just Being Marissa and none of them really seemed to fit my personality. Then one day I randomly had this line come into my head "my best friend Leslie said, oh she's just being Miley." Where did that thought come from? I couldn't shake it. I looked up where in God's name I got that from because, I haven't listened to my Hannah Montana jams since I was thirteen. It was from her song "See You Again". I nodded my head like yeah, and realized Just Being Marissa would be a great name for a blog. I agreed with myself and hence le blog came into existance.

I have kind of put my love for Milers on the back burner since I on a whim saw the Hannah Montana movie with my cousin a few years back. But, I am recently begining to love the new short-haired, fiesty Miley. No, she may not make the world's best decisions and she may have changed a lot, but she is just being her and worry about her. She isn't about making anyone else happy but herself, and that is admirable. Thanks for inspiring me yet again, Destiny Hope.

Confession: I asked for white cowboy boots one Christmas because that's what Hannah Montana wore.



Styled: Valentine's Day.

Welcome back from your crazy weekend, friends.

I thought on this February Monday, I would talk about fashion. Because, well, why not?! I have been seeing tons of commercials on TV telling everyone to make their reservations and buy this, that and the other thing for our loved ones. Which got me thinking, if I were getting ready for big plans on Valentine's Day, what in God's name would I wear? So, allow me show you what I would be wearing if I were to get all snazzied up on February 14th.

 

Dress // I am a fan of red. I think read is a pretty hot color, and not just because it's the color of fire. I think it's a statement color and I would absolutely not be against wearing a bright red dress on Valentine's Day. I think this dress has a good shape and isn't too sexy, but it would be totally va-voom if you needed it to be. So, I would totally spice it up and go with a red dress - remember, YOLO.

Jewelry // I am not usually a gold jewelry person, but sometimes I am attracted to it. I thought a little pearl and gold necklace would be appropriate. A simple string of pearls would suffice, but I think the added layers on the necklace makes it a little more fun and sassy, so you avoid the whole 1940's mother look. Of course, pairing such a bold necklace with simple earings - and hearts no less! And a little wrist sparkle, obviously.

Bag // All you need is a little bag to carry around. Who really wants to carry around their usual suitcase of a person. Oh, is that just me? All you need to have on you are the basics, so don't carry around a duffle bag purse. I thought this little clutch would be perfecto.

Make-Up // Red lipstick, yes. You may say, too much red? I say, no! Wear the red lip and feel fierce and fabulous. I mean, you wanna be looking good if you are going out with a handsome gentleman, right?

Shoes // Last but not least - the shoes. I would go with simple black heels. I love the style of these because they are slightly vintage looking, but modern with the heel. Just like you can never go wrong with a little black dress, you can never go wrong with high black heels. It's a fact.

In theory - this is what I would wear if I were going out with an attractive felllow. But you know, that's totally not my life because I am totally rocking that single girl swag this year - like the past few years, actually every year. But, let's not talk about that now, shall we?

But really, let's talk about what I will actually be wearing on Valentine's Day.

I mean, this is pretty much the nutshell.

I will be working all day, and after that awful shift of selling dozens of lovster raviolis to husbands who are cooking for their wives, asking me where the nearest store is where they can buy a card. The thrills of retail.

I will be spending my night alone, with my favorite men - Ben & Jerry - watching some stupid love movies, and catching up on the happenings of Glee, eating chocolate. I mean, I am single, I don't have to impress anybody. My body is a temple and this temple loves chocolate.

Hopefully you guys have some roaring V-Day plans ahead of you.

Or you can spend your night on Twitter with me!

Friday Fun: iPhone Wallpaper.

It's Friday!

Cheers to the stinking weekend - I will gladly drink a wonderful bottle of sparkling water to that statement, Rihanna. I hope that you are all have great plans for weekend doing some exciting things. My life on the other hand is far more boring and grandma-esque. This lady has got some papers to write, Italian to study and organizing to be done. I just wish I could hire someone to do this junk for me. So I could spend all of my free time farting around on my computer - per usual.

 

I have been doing a lot of reading of other blogs, and I came across Aubrey at The Kinch Life. I found her blog to be so stinking adorable and wonderful. She is just so good at her graphic designing, no wonder people would pay her for her services, she's rad! But, I see that she does something called a "Friday Freebie" where she will make a computer wallpaper, iPhone wallpaper, etc and post them every Friday. I thought that was a super cool idea, so in the wonderful world of blogging that we live in, I am totally borrowing the idea and putting my own spin on it.

 

I decided that every Friday I will post something fun that you can use. Perhaps a wallpaper of some sort, maybe it's a new game or website that I found or maybe it's a playlist I put together that I think you wouldn't mind listening to. Fridays I am going to dedicate to giving back to you - the totally amazeballs people who read my silly rambles.

 

So, to kick this whole thing off, here is an iPhone wallpaper!
