Water bottles, SAG Awards, and Vegan Peanut Butter Cups!

Hey guys! The weekends are almost ending, which pretty much means I have about one more week until school starts. I should be more productive . . . (like going to school beforehand and cleaning out my locker!) We'll see what happens.

Anyway, I would like to introduce to you all:


My new water bottle!
Well, I have a bad habit of buying water when it's convenient, but it always bothered me since a. paying for water I already have, and b. the waste from the bottles, didn't seem good.
Today I happened to go inside Old Navy with my mom and saw one of these for $5 and decided to get one! In my mind, I'm thinking finally!
The picture is an outcome of me using my web cam (which miraculously worked today!)

You know what they say about naming things though, right? That if you name your personal belongings, you take better care of it (therefore it lasts longer). I think I'll name him (or her, it's undecided, but right now, it's just confused) Sunny.


I also watched the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night! Highlights include:

-Betty White's hilarious speech
-Drew Barrymore being cutely nervous
-George Clooney oddly looking down every time his name came up
-Tina Fey being Tina Fey

And my favorite Red Carpet looks came from these 3 ladies:

So I think I like trains and back cleavage. Kate Hudson was my absolute favorite though. She is one person that just rocks white. I also didn't know it was Pucci until I looked it up. It's really one of my favorites.


Finally, Vegan Peanut Butter cups.
Okay, so I religiously follow the Lilveggiepatch, and she's always linking these great recipes from other blogs! Recently, she had posted about Vegan Peanut Butter Cups from another blog (here's the post and recipe) and I told my friend Ana about it.
Well, her being vegan, my being open to anything, and us both being chocoholics, we thought it sounded easy and wonderful! Then we also thought, hey, if there are leftovers, why not sell them and donate the money to Haiti?

Now the only thing is to set up a time and then get ingredients. I never worked with nooch before (nutritional yeast). My only problem is buying it, and then not being able to use it as much. Like, buying an ingredient for something, but then realizing you don't have many uses for it? I guess that's what google is for!

Anyway, leaving on that thought, I think I'm going to go contact Ana right now to plan this! Pictures will come when it happens! Toodles guys!

The Video Music Awards

I really don't have the chance to watch any award show except the Oscars because my dad can't stand those things. And music awards . . . no one backs me up in my family about those. So me being the good little teenage American girl with a lot of time on my hands (which is a LIE because I'm just procrastinating) took the time to watch some coveted clips and decided to comment on a few things.

1. I should be commenting on the Taylor Swift Kanye West controversy (is it even?) first, but I think everyone knows what happened. Basically West called her out when she won Best Female Video and said Beyonce had best video and that left Taylor kinda . . . quiet. Look, Taylor is darling, Beyonce is a doll, and Kanye has done too many things before for this to be remotely shocking.
2. Uhhhhh, LADY GAGA?! She actually freaked me out during "Paparazzi". Like, I think it's her face . . . the blank stare in her eyes and the blood irked me. And the red crown and lace outfit . . .
3. Pink and Shakira wearing the same Balmain dress was win actually because they both rocked it and uh, duh, I kind of love Pink. She's amazing.
4. Michael Jackson tribute was really lovely. Those dancers are banging.
5. Beyonce's Single Ladies is everywhere, and has been everywhere since it came out. I don't mind too much, I mean, I've heard it enough to be able to recite the lyrics to you therefore I won't be distracted from anything if it comes on. But her performance of the song, I admit to loving it. I think what made it the best was that after watching it, I realized that if the Single Ladies dance was a workout regimen, that would totally work for me.
6. I hated Whitney Port and Jennifer Lopez's dresses. And Tyson Ritter wore a suit the same color as my blood (inside joke). And Beyonce's dress had the oddest lump in the front that I did not care for. This being all said, nothing against the people, just the clothes.
