Tuesday Tops 10/13/15

Happy happy Tuesday my loves!!!

Since it is Tuesday I have some new tunes for you to listen to... these 2 songs in particular have been on REPEAT for me this week...

ELLIE GOULDING "SOMETHING IN THE WAY YOU MOVE"

Literally this Ellie album is going to be HIT after HIT after HIT... and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

SELENA GOMEZ "HANDS TO MYSELF"

This might be my favorite song on the album... it's definitely the one I've had on repeat since it dropped... so I wanted to share it with you all :)

The CUTEST shoes for little girls!!!!!

So I have an almost 2-year-old niece and I'm COMPLETELY obsessed with her...

(buy them HERE) 

The other day I was buying a baby shower gift for a friend and stumbled upon these ADORABLE little shoes.. so I obviously bought some for my little niece! 

They are SERIOUSLY THE CUTEST THINGS EVERRRRR!!

(Buy them HERE) 

So fashionable and so comfortable..

So I wanted to pass along to all of you in case you have nieces / children / little sisters / whatever the case may be.. these are ADORABLE!

I wanted to share this quote...

Because I feel it's very important! 

The reason I love this quote so much is because its a good reminder to be nice to everyone you encounter in your day-to-day...

Everybody has their own unique story... There might be a reason someone is bitter in your experience with them... there may be a reason why that barista at the coffee shop has a bad attitude.... there might be a reason someone is having a bad day...

If we were able to know everyone's individual stories I guarantee we would show them a little more grace in our day-to-day!

I know it isn't the easiest thing to do... but TRY to treat everyone as if you know their story... lets all have a little more grace for one another! 

Tuesday Tops - 10/6/15

Guys... It's TUESDAY!!!!

Which means I have a new list of songs on repeat :) 

And I have them for you BELOW :)

Robin Thicke ft/ Nicki Minaj "Back Together" 

**This song is just SO freaking fun!! I listened to it on repeat all the way down to Orange County last week and I'm not even ashamed to admit it!

KYGO "Stole The Show"

**Literally OBSESSED with this song right now!!! It's just THAT good.. I promise this is a guaranteed love for you :)

Tove Lo "Moments"

**I just saw her in concert last week and this song just BLOWS me away! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Focus on the NOW!

I think in life it is VERY easy to focus on everything BUT your current situation...

We worry about the future... think about what we DON'T have in our lives... it's very easy to get in that frame of mind!

For me, I always thought by 28 that I'd be married with at least 1 baby by now.. Well news flash, for those of you that don't know me... I'm 28 and couldn't be further from married or having a baby!

But instead of focusing on what I DON'T HAVE... I focus on what I do have..

I have a job that I love, a family that supports me like no other.... friends that are basically family to me... I have SO many loving and encouraging people in my life I NEVER thought I could feel this loved being single...

I had to change my outlook on and my perspective on life... and once I did that my entire world shifted...

No, I'm not exactly where I want to be in life at the moment... but I'm not where I used to be... I'm making progress... moving towards my goal... and as far as marriage and baby... I know that day will come for me!

And when it does, it's going to make all the bullshit I've put up with the last couple years worth it... So I'm just trying to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! :)

(You can buy the sunglasses I'm wearing HERE) 

Love Myself

We are our own worst critic... Picking ourselves apart worse than other people do.. 

We talk to ourselves in a way we would never allow anyone else to talk to us..

and I will admit I am the worst at this!!! 

I always complain about my thighs, or my skin, or my waist.. 

what ever it may be.. I'm always cutting myself down! 

if I don't wear makeup for a day I find myself pointing out that I'm not wearing makeup to people.. When I just need to freaking own it and rock it!!

well I decided today that I'm going to spend more time focusing on loving myself. Saying nice and encouraging things to myself instead of constantly cutting myself down!! 

so join me... And talk to yourself like you would to someone that you love! And stop seeking yourself short, because there is NO ONE on the world like YOU... So embrace it 😊😊😊 

Best Friends ... these are NECESSARY!

So I am a giant cheese ball! And I'm not even ashamed to admit it!

I love best friends bracelets, I love romcom's on a Saturday night... I love all that kind of cheesy stuff that people find offensive.. I LIVE FOR IT!!!

So for Ellen K's birthday it was NECESSARY to find some kind of "Best Friends" accessory because it is just SO US!

(You can buy them HERE) 

Anywho found these ADORABLE Alex and Ani bracelets ... I have the "Best" and Ellen has the "Friends" and they are my favorite thing EVER!

Ellen is literally a sister to me (but really, we both are Kappa Alpha Theta sisters so like we ACTUALLY are...) 

But now we have our friendship bracelets to make it official :)

XOXO

#WCW - Marissa Callahan

Today my WCW goes to a woman that is new in my life. We were set up by a mutual friend... And we met and it was instant BFF status!! 

i knew within first 20 minutes of our convo that she was a girls girl!

so encouraging, and such a light!  

Im so lucky we got introduced and are now friends because we were definitely brought together for a reason! 

xoxo Marissa 😘

Tuesday Tops / 9-29-15

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!! I'm here to share with you my #TuesdayTops ... the songs I have had on serious loop all week long...

XOXOXOX

SIA "ALIVE"

I cannot handle this song... I seriously think it is PERFECTION!

MADISON BEER "ALL FOR LOVE"

I can't put my finger on why exactly, but I love it so much!! She is speaking to me in this song!

It's okay to have off days

Yes, I try to look for the positive. Yes, I try to look at the bright side.. Yes I try to see the gold instead of focusing on the bad.

but guess what,  I'm human and I have not so great days too...

Everyone has their own mountain in life, whatever that may be... And sometimes you feel like you are a fish swimming upstream against the current.. 

And it's okay to feel deflated at times.  

But I always try to allow myself to feel those things... And then get a good night sleep and then move forward. 

So goodnight my angels... Tomorrow is gonna be a kick ass day!!
