A Favorite Song

I LOVE opera music!! Its soo pretty and relaxing, and great for listening to while doing homework (like I'm supposed to be doing right now. lol)
Also, I'm a HUGE fan of Josh Groban, and Charlotte Church is British, which I didn't know until a few months ago. So yeah.

Love,
Manda

Fun Times with My Cousin

These are just some *edited* pictures of me and my cousin goofing around at her house the day after Christmas. Enjoy!

 

 Its snowing!!!

 

We just went on a jaunt over to Noo Yawk! 

I love this one! 

trying to be serious... i'm more like bug-eyed!

Alaina is so fun to be around! My favorite memory of the two of us was when we were visiting our aunt and uncle's either on our Sweet Sixteenth get-away, or on one Christmas get together. But we just suddenly got the giggles around midnight (yes, we like staying up late!!), and we had to go into the bathroom so we wouldn't wake up our younger cousins. Oh, good times!!! :)

the end.

Love,

Manda

Regent St. Interview {Georgie Henley}

ok, this is absolutley funny and adorable at the end, where GG starts freaking out... just watch to see!! :)

love,
manda

yes. i'm obsessed. but wait, you already knew that, right? right. ;)
p.s. the 'Harry' Georgie starts talking about is Harry Styles, from the British boy band 'One Direction'. Yeah, never heard of 'em. lol

Georgie Henley Look-Alike!

i have been wanting to post this for awhile....

this is my sister Megan like 5, 6 years ago, on the left. Georgie on the right. :)

What do you think!??!?!?!

An Oppurtunity... to Travel the World....

Okay, so, at my church, we are doing a Benefit concert for the city's local pregnancy center and for 'My Father's House' in Haiti. Me and the sibs didn't go last night cuz we are going tonight, but my mom brought home a brochure talking about oppurtunities people have of going to Kenya, or India, or Haiti, and spending a year there working with a family as a servant.

I want to go.

Yes. I just really started thinking about it during Sunday School, and I'm excited. I need to keep thinking about it, and definitely PRAYING about it. This might not even be God's will for me, but that's what I need to pray about. Would you also pray for me? That God will show me His will, and if this is even a good idea that I should go? Thanks.

Are any of you interested in missions? 

Have any of you ever gone to a different country on a missions trip? If so, tell me your experiences in a comment!!!

Love,
Manda

Okay bloggy friends...

what about this one?!?!? I think this is what I wanna go for.

IF my parents will let me. I'm turning 18 next month, so then I'll be an adult and be able to make my own choice, but still... my parents are CRAZY hesitant about this. My dad doesn't like people getting their hair colored/highlighted. If Dad said yes tho, I think Mom would go for it... :/

So ya.

Love,
Manda

I Need Your Opinion... and Please Use Your Head!

Okay, so, I have light brown hair, but I REALLY love Debby Ryan's new red hair. My friend Willow thought it would look good on me. What do you guys think!?!?!? PLEASE, AS MANY OF YOU AS POSSIBLE LEAVE YOUR OPINION IN THE COMMENTS!!! They are MUCH appreciated. Thanks. :)

Debby on the left, yours truly on the right. :)

Oh, here are a few example pics:

This is more of not-completley-red-look, its got some blonde highlights thrown in, which I like, too. :)

THE END.
thanks much!

Love,
Manda

Never Before Seen Videos...

Thanks to Xime, a fan of Georgie, at www.georgieh.com, we have this lovely video to watch!!! :) I REALLY wish Liam wasn't in it, i mean, he doesn't even say anything! And then I coulda used this vid for my story. If Emma ever screencaps it..... well, I guess I could still use it, we'll just say ''Liam'' is Will's dad, or Georgie's favorite uncle or something..... Yeah. That sounds like a plan. :)

Love,
Manda

This is Me....

For all my new followers, and about my "Christmas Wish" post where most of you thought I was Kendi and I didn't think to clarify that until I saw the comments... well, here is a picture of your's truly.

This was taken last year, my freshman year of homeschooling! :) I think Megs took this pic....


Watching old Alaska trip videos. they actually work on this new DVD player my Dad bought!! Whoo hoo. But YUK, I look sooo yeah. YUK. I was like 11-years-old when we went on the month-long vaca, so yeah. Hopefully I've improved! Ha.

Love,
Manda

p.s. i think i say 'soo yeah' a lot. what do you think?!! ;)

please pray

My pastor's sister just passed away of a brain tumor this morning, and my pastor's daughter attends the same school. Please pray for their family. Even tho the woman is now in the presence of Jesus and is not suffering any more, the family is grieving. Also, I didn't realize until a while ago, but I actually know the oldest daughter of the woman who passed away.

So, would you please pray for that family??

Fashion Icon {Street Style}: Taylor Swift

I have decided to do a series on fashion. The series will be street styles of celebs that catch my eye. Today, I'll start with Taylor Swift, one of my top icons in fashion. Here are just a few pictures that show her girly/romantic/classic style.

When I first saw pictures of kitten heels, I wasn't sure I liked them. But they're slowly growing on me!!! Very vintage, indeed. :)

 

The shoes match perfectly with the teal flecks in the dress. Very nice.

 

Riding boots are on my Christmas wish list for sure!!!! They go with practically everything!

 

I love the boots!!! 

I love the cute playfulness of the panda bear shirt paired with the mini ruffly skirt!

 

And throwing in this picture because she looks gorgeous here! :)

Are you a fan of Taylor? 

Is your style like hers???
