Puzzling Pretzels

One of my favorite snack foods in the world has to be none other than a soft pretzel. In Florida we really don't have true handmade, soft pretzels. We have some chain stores in malls that make them but it is not the same.

Since I have been in New Jersey/Philadelphia I have had a few really amazing pretzels. They make them up here and they are so good. Also, on the street in Philly, they are only fifty cents!!! I have been so happy and trying to find them anywhere I go before I go home. Today I was at Target and they had pretzels. I excitedly bought one only to get it and was so disappointed. It was horrible. It was burnt and hard and tasted like they made them days ago and put them in a toaster too long to heat them. I didn't want to cause any problems so I didn't take it back. I was there with my cousin who had also gotten a pretzel for her son and his was equally as terrible. Worse, she told me that any time she has gotten a pretzel for him from a Target, they have been equally awful.

So, I didn't mean to complain, but the moral of the story is, do not get pretzels at Target, it will only leave you disappointed.

Sorry for the slight rant but it is late and this was on my mind. You will be getting something better tomorrow, I promise. :)

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

I Vanished!!!!

Wow, what a crazy few weeks it has been!! I am on vacation right now in New Jersey and haven't had any internet, oh my! How am I surviving?! All kidding aside, this vacation has been a lot of fun and getting to spend time with family is a real treat. Since I've been here we have celebrated my nine year old cousins birthday, my 18th birthday, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Today was another one of my cousins birthdays and Sunday is another! Then it is New Years! Things have been crazy since the moment I got here! I am hoping to write up and queue some posts tonight but I am not sure if I will be able to. Thank you for hanging in there with me during my slight hiatus, I promise that after I get back January 4th, things will be going back to normal. Also I have a HUGE announcement coming up on December 31st so make sure to keep an eye out for that!! It will be on here and also on my youtube.com/lovefromkelsey channel. Hope your holidays are going well and I look forward to things going back to normal soon!

Much love,
Kelsey

I'm on the case: iPhone 5c Cases

As some of you will know from my review of it, I have the iPhone 5c in blue. I ran into a problem when trying to find cases for it. To begin, there are not many out yet because the shape is slightly different than the 5/5s. Also I wanted one that wouldn't hide the color of the phone. I took to ebay to try to find some cases that fit that criteria and that were not too expensive. I ended up getting two fantastic cases.

The first was a basic ombre pink to clear case. I wasn't sure how it would look but it was inexpensive enough to give it a try. I ended up loving it. It gave it a look where it went from purple at the top to te natural blue at the bottom. This is the case that i use for most every day because it is light weight.

The second one that I have is a much more blinged out one that I love but it makes it harder to fit in my pocket. 

What does your phone case look like? Do you opt for a pretty one or go for the more safe ones like an otter box?

Forever 21+: The Best Plus Sized Clothing

I know that Forever 21 is a staple in any teenage girls closet but if you happen to be of bigger size like myself, for any reason, all I can say is that their plus sized line is nothing shy of fantastic. I have fallen head over heels for most of the clothes and have bought a lot of them already.

This is going to be a bit of a tangent but I feel like this is a place that it would fit. I have been insecure about my size from the time I was in kindergarten. There is nothing I hate more than someone judging people on their size for many reasons. First, you never know what the cause is. For me, I have many medical issues such as a thyroid condition and other metabolic and hormonal disorders that cause weight gain as well on being on medicine that does the thing. But the thing is, no matter what the reason is, it is no one's business. If people are happy with how they look then that is all that matters.

Okay, tangent aside, I have always been one to hide behind a lack of fashion. I have always loved fashion and followed it closely but I have been too scared to ever dress in anything that would show things about my body i didn't love, also there is a lack of plus sized clothes in the style I love. That is why I am loving Forever 21+ so much. I thought I would share some of the pieces that I got that I am loving to death. There will also be a video coming soon with all of them.

There were more but they are out of stock so you will just have to wait for my video! So, if you are off bigger size like myself, you need to check out Forever 21+ because it is reasonable and will make you feel really good about yourself.

Favorite App Right Now || Tech Thursday

Hello all! As someone that has just recently entered into the world of smartphones that also means I am just entering into the world of apps. I have tried lots of the favorites that I have not liked *cough* Candy Crush *cough* but I have found one that I love.

If you love fashion, specifically designer fashion, as much as I do you have to check out Covet: The Game. In this game you enter challenges, get ratings and money to expand your closet. The best part about this game is that unlike all other fashion games I have come across, the clothing and accessories in this game are the true designer ones.

I have been playing this obsessively since I got my phone and I am SO EXCITED that my closet value is over $10,000! It took me so long to get there! Also, the app is free so there is no risk! I hope you will try it out and let me know if you like it as much as I do.

Let me know what apps you love, preferably free because I am currently jobless but that is another post for another day, and I would love to try them out!

New Lip Obsession

Morning blog friends! I'm afraid I have some catching up to do today, things have been a tad crazy on my part. Also I just wanted to let you know that I am going to be on vacation from December 18th to January 4th. I am going to try to queue as many post as I can for that time but if there is a break in posting, at least you know why. But now, on to the fun things!!

On Black Friday I was in Ulta and got distracted by a display of a new product. I tested it and fell in love and had to buy it. This product was the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm. All I can say is that this product is amazing. I got it in the color Unapologetic and it is a beautiful orangy, pink coral color. It is crazy pigmented and even with eating and drinking, the color lasts like a stain. It doesn't feel tacky or sticky and I pretty much forget I am wearing it, a nice treat for such a pigmented, rich color. I also love that it is truly matte.

The color I have is the second from the top.

It is easy to apply and I don't have to worry about repplication all the time. I am loving this and give it a total A+.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Hope you are having a fantastic day!

Top 5 Tuesday: Top 5 Shows for a Sick Day

As I sit here slightly under the weather and watching Gossip Girl on Netflix I thought what a better time than to talk about my top 5 favorite shows for a day in bed.

Number One: Gossip Girl

This show is addictive. I have see. Every episode but I always love going back. Today I started at the beginning. It's a fantastic teen drama but there is also a mystery. 

Number 2: Keeping Up With the Kardashians or any other Kardashian show

Say what you want but I'm a convert. I love this family. The show is the perfect hilarious, mindless entertainment that is perfect for when you are feeling under the weather. 

Number 3: Gilmore Girls

This is my all time favorite show. I have seen every episode ten times and I honestly believe that Lorelai Gilmore is the best tv character ever. I am still not over the end of this show. 

Number 4: How I Met Your Mother

This is my favorite comedy. Sadly this show is coming to an end just like some of my other picks but this is always the best if you need a laugh. And Neil Patrick Harris is a fantastic human. 

Number 5: Grey's Anatomy

If you are looking for never ending drama and characters you can't help but fall in love with, this is the show for you. Although I am mad at them for killing off my favorite character, don't worry, no spoilers, I have always had this as a staple favorite. 

So what are some of your favorite shows or movies for when you aren't feelings great? I'd love to know and check them out!

Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow!
