     Disclaimer: All of these opinions and thought are based on behind the scenes videos, the soundtrack, and the plot of the show. I have not actually gotten to see Hamilton the Musical in person.

    So every so often I am going to do this sort of post, which is a current obsession post featuring a product, movie, show, or basically anything that I am currently obsessed with! So here is the first post in this series! I hope you enjoy!
     For the first post, I am going to be talking about *cue drum role* HAMILTON THE MUSICAL! So I started listening to Hamilton the Musical a month or so ago. I knew about it before ,but never really ended up listening to the soundtrack, or learning about the story-line, or plot.
     At first I ended up listening to the songs via a playlist on YouTube. I always listen to the opening number, and the finale first because those are always the songs that either make or break a musical for me! I loved the intro song, because it really explained all of the background knowledge that you need to know for the show, since it is all based on the true story, and life of the United States founding father, Alexander Hamilton.
     I didn't know a lot about Alexander Hamilton before I got into this show,but now I know a lot of information on him, and all of the things he accomplished. I recommend it if you are interested in history, or learning more about early USA history. I personally have always found US history boring, but the way the show explains it really makes it interesting.
    For those of you who don't know, the main kind of music I listen to is showtunes, and then I listen to some rap. This is one of the reasons that Hamilton really hit home for me because the music style is mainly rap. However, there are songs that are pop, traditional Broadway, jazz etc so there is something in it for everyone. Even if you don't like Broadway you will still like the songs from this soundtrack, or at least some of them.
    I want to see this show so bad, and hopefully will at some point. Probably not soon though because it is so expensive, and plus I don't live in/near New York/NYC. It better go on national tour ASAP, and it better be nominated/win a Tony award as well!

Favorite Summer To Fall Transition Piece

So unfortunately it is officially Fall! Summer is over yet I am still transitioning clothing wise! So todays post will be about my favorite transition piece from Summer to Fall! The favorite thing of mine for the Summer to Fall season is the vans style shoe pictured above! I absolutely love vans style shoes just because they can be dressed up and down and they also come in many different colors and patterns! I may or may not own 4 pairs of vans style shoes! However my current favorite are these white lace patternes shoes! The detailing on this pair of shoes is absolutely amazing! They have such a nice look to them that is so much better than just plain white! Not to mention they are easy to clean! Trust me I cannot be trusted with anything white! These are perfect because theydo have a summery feel since they are lighter toned, however they also can be worn with leggings and pants to get more cozy! My absolute favorite part of these shoes though is probably the fact that you can litter...

Dual Action Moisturizer (Which is better? On Brand Or OffBrand? #2)(Blogmas 2016 #4)

      A post that I am very proud of, and that many of you wonderful readers really seemed to enjoy, was my Which Is Better? On Brand, or Off Brand Beauty Blender Edition . I decided to make it a little series because I realize that I love a good dupe, and I want you to join in my journey to great dupes! So welcome to another On-Brand or Off-Brand post!        I think every person can agree that moisturizer is something that is a necessity in a skincare routine, especially in this upcoming winter season! I know in the winter I get very dry skin, and I know that moisturizer can get quite expensive, so I thought I would try out a store brand moisturizer, and compare it to a Clean and Clear moisturizer that I already knew I loved.      These are the two moisturizers that I will be comparing in this post! The clean and clear advantage dual action moisturizer (I know this one is slightly different but I have used both!), and the Walmart...

What I Have Been Up To In The Past Few Months!

           Hello all! So I have been somewhat distant on this blog for the past few months! I have done a lot of religious posts that I absolutely love writing, but I realized that I have been a little distant when it came to talking about other stuff, and what I have been up to! So now I am just going to simply just talk a little bit about what I have been up to for the past few months!           So if you did not read my  2017 New Years Resolution Post  then you will not be aware that I am working hard at learning italian. I love learning new languages, and I have a goal of being trilingual by the time I am 25, and I want to do this with english, spanish, and italian. I take spanish at my school, so I am learning italian at home and I love it so much! It is really difficult to learn a language by yourself though when you do not have the cultural immersion, especially where I am in a primarily english speaking country, ...
