Music Mondays


Hey everyone and welcome to Music Mondays!

Todays band is 'Of Monsters and Men'
From their FB page

 A group of 6 amiable day dreamers from Iceland who craft folkie pop songs.

But in 2010 the normally mild-mannered six pack—who released their EP, Into the Woods, on December 20—transformed into total rock stars after stomping out their competition during Músiktilraunir, a yearly battle of the bands in their native Iceland. 

The group consists of....

Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir
Ragnar þórhallsson
Brynjar Leifsson
Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson
Kristján Páll Kristjánsson
Árni Guðjónsson

Check out their Facebook, Myspace, and website.
Their Album "My Head is an Animal" comes out April 3rd. 

Here are a few of my favorite songs of theirs







Hunger Games Mania

I saw it I saw it.... I went last night with my roommate Ashley and our awesome neighbors who are the ones that took us, and it was amazing.... I thought they did a wonderful job for a movie, I didn't dress up or take any pictures because it was a last minute affair but I still had a wonderful time.... I did walk away with one awesome thing though this Hunger Games cup! yes that is me hiding in the back round, I haven't brushed my hair today or put on any makeup so I decided to hide behind the super cool cup that I plan on drinking everything I can out of for the next few days.


Now I thought I would share with you some of my favorite Hunger Games items I have found on pinterest lately. 


Literally Laughed out loud.


Look who joined the Career Alliance

Am I allowed to be in love with all three of them?

I pretty much fell in love with Cato during the movie, not only was he super hot but I felt bad for him and the other tributes, I'm glad nobody cheered in my theatre when they died because I think it was extremely sad even though they were super mean and vicious they were just children, children who were trained their whole lives to die one day in The Hunger Games, children who didn't have a choice.

I also read this article today and it really sickened me that people like this exist and tweet about.  If you have the time take a moment and read.

I got a new blog layout!!!!!

from this awesome lady over at Templates by Tenille, hopefully soon I'll be able to afford a custom layout but until then thank you to ladies like this!

I would like to DIY this.

You may not know this about me but I am obsessed with Unicorns, I love how they poop glitter and have beautiful horns, I also love Narwhals because they are the unicorns of the sea. Even better than regular Unicorns are Unicorn/Pegasus Hybrids, Unicorns with Wings, so in honor of my obsession. 
I want to make this jacket but a little different maybe not so much color.

source unknown/help me out if you know the origin

What I will need to complete this project.

1. A shirt along the lines of this
Amazon.com

2. A Jean Jacket any kind (now I'm wishing I hadn't gotten rid of mine from high school)
ae.com

3. And last but not least a Bedazzler
overstock.com

So dear thrift store gods please hear my wishes of finding all of these items for my DIY project. 

love shaina
