At the beginning of February, Stephanie and I visited Franci Cakes on her opening day to celebrate and show support by purchasing some delicious cupcakes. I was also able to celebrate a good friend's 22nd birthday (which is why both of my girls are double-peacing it in the second photo, hahaha) with strawberry beer!

- NEW BOOKS!
The 100 (The CW)
Are you surprised this is on here? Probably not. After hearing all about this show on Twitter, I knew I had to give it a try. I flew through the first season in two days (thank you, Netflix) and am now all caught up. Reasons to watch this show: AWESOME lady heroines, crazy plot, cute males ... need I say more?
- After finding out that Shawn Mendes is performing at the Taylor Swift concert I'm going to in August, I looked up a couple of his songs and fell in love with The Weight.
- Watching Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani sing My Heart is Open together at the Grammys gave me the shivers.
- Imagine Dragons came out with a new album and I have been in love with Shots.
- Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon was my go-to song of the month!
I haven't watched The 100 yet, although so many people love this show! I should really start it sometime soon. Shawn Mendes is one of my recent favorites too; I like his song 'Something Big.' Of course, Adam Levine is always great :) DUFF and I Was Here are on the top of my TBR list right now. I read Winner's Curse last year and I wasn't a huge fan, but I'm looking forward to picking up the sequel.
ReplyDeleteYes, The 100 is definitely a show you need to start watching!!! If you have Netflix, the first season is already up. I haven't heard Something Big yet *adds to Spotify "to listen" list* :p
