This past week Fort Wayne got just a little bit of snow. Okay, we got a TON of snow. The whole town basically shut down. Everything was closed. Perfect time for photos, right? Right.

Music Monday Mania!
I recently started following Urban Outfitters on Facebook. And what did I see on my news feed today?
THIS:
I was like, "WHAT?"
I had to check it out. What did I find?
That it's pretty freakin' awesome. And the best part? You can download all the songs for FREE!
For more music from Urban Outfitters check out their blog. They also have a music section on their blog where you can listen to and download a 20+ song playlist {also FREE}. They even have UO Radio, that you can stream on your computer.
And... because I'm a big blog slacker, here's some more new music I have found recently. Hope you enjoy.
James Blake.
Sexy man. Sexy voice. Sexy song.
'nough said.
Vanity Theft.
This song got stuck in my head the first time I heard it. I can't deci-i-i-de if it's catchy or just annoying. Either way, they're adorable and I love the retro look of the video. {I'm always a sucker for retro} Plus the bass player is Miranda from Lizzie McGuire {actress Lalaine}
Artist: Vanity Theft
Album: The Anatomy EP {Oct. 2010}
Song: Anatomy
Two Door Cinema Club.
Their song, I Can Talk gets stuck in my head too... Because it's awesome!
The Kills.
I had heard of The Kills before but I never really listened to them. When a friend posted their video for Tape Song on Facebook last week, I gave it a listen.
I said to myself, "Hey, I know this song." And I've been listening to it a lot ever since.
They have a new single out now called Satellite which will be on their new album, Blood Pressures {drops April 5th in the U.S.}
For updates about their new album and to stream their latest single visit their website.
Artist: The Kills
Album: Midnight Boom {2008}
Song: Tape Song
...I've saved the best for last {In my opinion}
The Naked and Famous.
They only have two songs available in the U.S. right now but they are both amazing. Check out their website for another video and info on where you can purchase the songs they do have available.
Artist: The Naked and Famous
Album: Passive Me Aggressive You {avail. March 2011}
Song: Young Blood

Point Richmond, CA Part One: Little Louie's
While in California my sister, Jessica took me to Little Louie's, a little deli and cafe in downtown Point Richmond.
Jessica got the Chicken Breast Panini {w/pesto, tomato, & spinach} She let me have a bite. I was yum, yum, yummy! You can't go wrong with pesto.
She suggested I get the 49er Hamburger {w/bacon, avocado, & jack cheese}. So I did. Gotta take big sis's advice. :) And I was glad I did. Oh so glad.
It says avocado, but whoa! AVOCADO! There was half and avocado on there. It was creamy and buttery, delicious!
Now that's a hunka hunka burnin' love right there. I couldn't wait to take a bite.
Chomp!
You've got a little something... Right. There.
We went back for lunch again a few days later... and both got the 49er.

Makeover for Mom
Before:
Not bad...
After:
Hot Mama!
I had her get her hair dyed a nice dark brown color {after we had already dyed it auburn, her choice, but it didn't come out so well} I picked out an outfit for her, from her own closet. I added the red ribbon for a little festive pop of color for the Christmas holiday. She had never worn her metallic gold wedges and was so excited to finally get them out of the box. I had no idea she had such cute shoes hiding in there! Way to go Mom!
A little eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, and a curling iron was all I used. I just had to play up her already beautiful features. What a great canvas to work on.
My beauty advice:
Always wear mascara. Even if you don't put on ANY other makeup, put on some mascara! It really opens ups the eyes, draws attention to them, and I think it makes you look more awake.
