Sunday Social #37

Enter my April Sponsor Giveaway!

Before we start with today's Social Sunday I just want to say I hate the fact that I haven't blogged as much lately, things have just been so hectic and I have been under a lot of stress. There are only two weeks left of school (that's including finals week) so you can imagine how much work I have been doing, And since I have been doing so much homework I have been putting off finishing unpacking, which makes me stress out because I just want to be done with it and be done settling into our new place. And if that wasn't enough work has been a killer lately, plus we had a bomb threat yesterday. Thank goodness nothing bad happened, but because of the threat I ended up working a 11 hour shift. So you can imagine how exhausted I am. 

BUT after school is done I will have more time to dedicate to blogging which I am REALLY excited about! I have so many ideas for posts I cannot wait to publish, so just hang in there guys because some exciting things are gonna be happening SOON! Now enjoy today's Sunday Social:

Did you sleepwalk as a child?

Not at all, but my Momma said that I would sometimes talk in my sleep.

Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house?

I went through a "I hate everyone except my friends" phase. Which meant that I would get in a lot of arguments with my Mom. I don't exactly remember why but one time I decided to run away, I packed all my essentials and took off. I don't remember why I decided to come back. But now that I think back I feel so stupid for doing it. #shameonme

Did you have any imaginary friends?

NEVER! I always had someone to play with, if it wasn't my sister it was my cousins, or even my neighbors. 

Did you ever go toilet papering?

No! I have always been afraid of getting in trouble with the law. But I have always wanted to do it!

Did you ever sneak tv shows you weren't allowed to watch?

via

My Mom wouldn't allow me to watch 'The Simpsons  or 'Dragon Ball" because they were too vulgar. I didn't care for The Simpsons much but I watched Dragon ball whenever I had the chance. hehe.

Scrambled eggs and toast! Or sometimes when I have the time I will make pancakes and bacon. Yum!

Do you drink coffee? If so, how do you take it?

I can't drink straight up coffee, so whenever I go to Starbucks I get either hot chocolate or a java chip frappuccino! It has coffee AND chocolate :)

How did you come up with your blog’s name?

It's a bit of a play on words I suffer with mental health problems and I was writing about my life so it seemed like a perfect partnership - a lot of people don't work it out though it always makes me smile when people do :).

What kind of posts do you write?

I write about a little bit of everything really whatever takes my fancy as it is after all my place to remember good things.

Anything special going on with your blog?

I run a weekly blog hop over the weekend called I Love My Post where you can link up your favorite post from the past 7 days.

Any new products that you have tried that you would recommend to us?

"I'm totally in love with Mastic Spa at the moment - they are a Greek company that make products with Mastic and are trying to spread there wings over the world and honestly I adore the products they sent me try.

Sunday Social #35 and a BIG Giveaway

I completely forgot to schedule this post! But with all the moving and stuff it just slipped my mind, but to make it up today's Sunday Social comes with a giveaway so ENJOY!

When did you join twitter?

I first joined twitter waay back in 2009, I went to San Antonio with my then ex boyfriend and his family. His sister’s boyfriend was talking about it so I decided to check it out, and well I got hooked! My first tweet was “hanging out with Marley, Presley and Jackson” which were actually the names of the dogs of my then boyfriend’s cousin. They were all so cute!

Who is your favorite non-celeb to follow?

I honestly do not have one L I enjoy reading everyone’s tweets but do not have a favorite, after all I follow like 900 people. It’s kind of hard to keep up with people.

Who is your favorite celeb to follow?

via

I like Ellen DeGeneres, she is such a funny woman!

Have you ever had a celeb respond to a tweet?

via

No *sniff sniff* I wish Channing Tatum would just say hi to me! If that happened I would die! He has been my crush for years now!

What is your favorite store/brand to follow?

via

I like to follow my favorites like Maurices, Forever 21, Sephora, Ulta, etc. It’s a good way to keep up with them and see when they are getting new items, when stuff goes on sale or when they offer discounts!

I also like to follow Gossip girl, it’s not a store or a brand but they post good quotes from the show ;)

Give us three tweeps we should be following

Sarah at Life in a breakdown

 Lanaya at Raising Reagan

And of course the one and only  Amber at My three bittles!

Announcement && a giveaway

Guys! I am SOO excited! My boyfriend and I are moving to a new apartment! I know that this is not a big announcement like 'having a baby' or "getting engaged" or even "buying a house" but we are pretty excited! The apartment where we are currently at is a two bedroom one bath, nothing too fancy. But the new apartment is a two bedroom TWO bath! Yay! No longer will I have to rush to get ready so my boyfriend can use the bathroom, now I can just take my sweet as time :)

Also the new apartment is going to have a patio which we are both super excited about! The apartment where we live doesn't have a patio (it's more of a balcony shared between two apartments) and the realty company does not allow grills on premises, which to be honest we really didn't care about when we first moved in (February of last year) but by the time summer came by, and everyone else was having cook outs we were jealous :( Now we can't wait to have our first cook out on our new patio! Plus the apartment complex has a small pool which will be perfect for summer!

But I think the best thing (in my opinion anyways) about the new apartment is that they allow pets! Which means that I get to see this pretty little face everyday.

She has been living with  my parents for the past year and I see her whenever I go visit, which is not too often. I know that my parents have grown really attached to her (specially my Mom) so I am afraid she is not gonna take it so well. But I will deal with that when the time comes.

Because now I have to pack everything by Thursday night and move on Friday, yes THIS Friday! Yeah not fun at all. But VERY well worth it! So to celebrate our move I have a giveaway for you! I teamed up with Angie from Hairspray and High Heels and 17 other bloggers to bring you this FABULOUS giveaway. Please make sure to read the Terms and Conditions before entering. GOOD LUCK!

Open Internationally

Ends at 11:59 EST on Monday, April 15th, 2013
