     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!

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...

Life Is Happening RIGHT NOW

           One thing that I have really discovered about myself within the past year is that I am way too focused on the future. I often find myself planning my future down to the last detail, and daydreaming.               But let me tell you something. This does not get you anywhere. I realized that I was legitimately spending my life just thinking about a life I dreamed of and planning my future in my mind. However, I soon came to realize that life is happening right now. I am living a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life now, and if I keep daydreaming excessively I will be living more in my fantasy than in my reality. Though this may sound great, reality is truly wonderful.                I soon began to realize, 'oh dang, I must stop daydreaming'. So that is what I did. I prayed, and I worked hard to stop my daydreaming tendencies. Now I have severely cut down the amount of t...

How I Have Deepened My Faith

            A few months ago God truly found me. I knew I wanted to start a relationship with God and with Jesus,but I did not how to begin this faithful journey in my life. However, here I am a few months later and I feel more spiritual than ever. I know I still have a lot to learn,but you always do when it comes to Christ. Here are my tips for starting a relationship with Christ. 1. Pray This is so simple ,but so true. I pray so much. I pray every morning when I wake up to thank God for a safe night. I pray when I am aware I have sinned. I pray before I, or my family eats. I pray before I go to bed. I pray a lot in between. Praying does not have to be a set prayer, you can legitimately just talk to God. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you get the hang of it as you practice. Remember God knows that you are new to this, and he knows that you are trying and he will help you to learn to pray better. Remember, do not just pray for things, pr...
