WOOT WOOT! Its The Girl Behind The Blog day! Nicole from Our Crazy Beautiful and I are super excited to learn a little bit more about you! Can I just say how much I love this series and watching all your videos every month? It seriously rocks my socks off. First, we got to know you & your blog a little better, next we dug a little deeper and talked about what we've been learning lately, last month we talked about our favorite beauty products and this month we're getting to know each other a little better. We know that a lot of us hate our voices on camera, laugh the whole time we're recording even though you're totally not supposed to be laughing along with yourself, don't have good answers to all the questions or can't stick to the time limitations set even though I set them myself what the heck or are 100% certain YouTube's main goal is to give you the most unflattering thumbnail options in the world.
Or, if you're anything like me, had the kind of week when you finally realized why people vlog in a tshirt and sophies with a ridiculous up-do or maybe thats just me.
It's ok... that's just life. We just want to get to know you in your own words! If you need to see the ground rules or to grab the button you can head over to the prompt. Make sure you follow both Nicole and I (we're the first two videos!)
You only have to link up on one of the host's blogs because our links are interlinked. So, Sit down and lets get to know each other a little better shall we through The Girl Behind The Blog. I'm excited and long winded!
This is so great :) your honesty in these vlogs says more about what you don't say on your blog and there's a lot of respect for acknowledging that nothing everything gets published.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE NEAR YOU! i miss you so much and love that you love Britney! Me too :) How have we not talked about the Bachelorette this season? I'm a die hard. Hugs!
We have the same pet peeve! I always got called "confrontational" by girlfriends but hey, at least you know what's on my mind! I also think that the internet is AWFUL for passive aggressive behavior.. it's much easier to be that way when there is a computer to hide behind! I love this series and am so glad I got to participate for a second time :)
At first, I was attracted to the color of your shirt, and then... I saw that it was TWLOHA! It made me tear up! TWLOHA is so special to me!
Of course, you HAD to know I'd be linking up for this! ALWAYS! :-)
I love what you said about being passive aggressive. I mean, we were all young teenagers once. We've all done it, but some people grow out of it, and others use it as a crutch. You YOU, missy, are not passive aggressive! I can tell that much about you through your blog!
Thanks for hosting yet another round of this wonderful link-up, Ashley!
I vlogged in a v-neck t-shirt and gaucho pants, so you're all good!
I have to take back my pet peeve (I said mine was complaining) now that I've heard yours, because mine is similar: people who don't solve issues directly. I have had to deal with that so many times in the past few years and it has driven me crazy!
As always, thank so much for hosting this link-up! I've missed so many link-ups and various things while traveling, but I'm so glad I was able to get a video recorded for this one. Love it!
I agree with you 100% about passive aggressiveness! It's so refreshing when someone simply comes to you if they have a problem, and you can talk it over like adults. So often, it's a simple misunderstanding or not taking the time to see the other person's view...but passive aggressive behavior makes a little thing blow up into a big ol' drama fest.
I don't like the passive aggressiveness, either! I don't mind if people are saying "Hey guys, I don't think this is cool, can we stop it?", but when people are sarcastic and almost sleazy about it- it drives me nuts. Either try to be productive or just say it straight out. Good news about your comfortable style- you are wearing neon, which is SO on point. Haha. We all love you, and I'm so happy that I linked up. These videos are getting me through this day.
you are too cute friend. :) TOO cute!! so glad you started watching Bach. it rocks. haha. also...I hate passive aggresiveness too. it is a waste of time and emotion!! love you girl. oh, and i also love Jimmy Eat World too.
1. i love what you shared about having a "sinful heart". loved the transparency. i am right there with you and i am so happy the Lord is not through with me yet. He is daily using my sinfulness to cause me to lean into him even more.
2. love your musical style. i love taylor swift too. no judging. :)
3. i was completely giggling when you were talking about the whole "passive aggressive" thing. i really don't like that either. the sad thing is with that is that you think all of the drama wont follow you after high school...but i still have to deal with passive aggressive people now. blech!
4. i love the bachelorette too. team sean...and now i am definitely looking up that spoof you were talking about.
You are the cutest and I just love you even more now! (if that's possible!) :) Totally in the love with the Civil Wars too and Taylor Swift. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you shared about passive aggresiveness. Girl, right ON. That's something I struggled with in high school/college and something that I work so hard on because being that way can be very damaging in SO many aspects of life.
I die for the color of your shirt! Looks great with your tan and hair!
Also, love Britney - love meeting fellow fans. I attempted to bring Ben to see her in Rhode Island this week for X-Factor auditions, but no one under 12 is allowed because it's too loud. WTF. I had HUGE plans to strap Ben in my Ergo, make a giant sign that said, "MY BABY LOVES BRITNEY" and assumed that by those two things, she would OBVIOUSLY see me in the audience and OBVIOUSLY want to meet me. I'm a big dreamer.
Anyway - great vlog, and thanks again for this linkup, I love it!
Loved getting to know you more! You have officially made me think twice about being passive aggressive...I will admit that is a fault of mine! :) Thanks for hosting, this has been SO fun! I truly look forward to this every month!
haha you are too adorablee! and no jimmy eat world is not "too 90's." They were awesome then and they are still awesome now and I love them and are like one of my favorite bands haha. The Civil Wars are also great! I was obsessed with them for the longest time.
You are SERIOUSLY gorgeous, it's not even funny!!!! Loved your vlog and love this linkup, it's so cool to get the full picture of all the bloggers I follow :)
you are so pretty!! even in your tshirt ;) im loving the civil wars right now too.. and there aint no shame girl in loving some taylor and britney!! haha
I may have to do one of these. :) You are so cute and I love your glasses. I also LOVE Jimmy Eat World. I do feel a little bit like a teenager when I listen to them but a lot of their songs just speak to my heart! "The Middle" is still my #1 comfort song when I'm having a bad day.
You are SO CUTE! Seriously, your hair and your glasses and your mannerisms. Adorable. And I'm totally with you on The Civil Wars, Taylor Swift and Burning Love!!
"...we all have a story and it's always being written..." I think this ALL the time!! You nailed it!
I work in law enforcement {have for 15 years}, I understand the fine balance it is to be guarded and what it's like to have to use a filter...it's hard.
One last thing about the passive aggressiveness, yes! I hear ya, I call it the "maybe" generation, the social media invites, evites, facebook events with the "yes" "no" and then the "maybes"...let's make a decision folks and stick with it, hem-hawing just ain't that cool people. Say what you mean, mean what you say.
I'm aggressive aggressive...it earns me best friends AND enemies, but I am who I am. It's the dispatcher in me...cut to the chase, time's a wasting!!
Oh, I'm shakin' my head...but I am cracking up ova here!!!
I"m a little late on this but the more and more vlogs I see of you, the more and more I like you! Thanks for sharing this. I didn't get a chance to do it this time but next time I will definitely do it again! :) :) :)
This is so great :) your honesty in these vlogs says more about what you don't say on your blog and there's a lot of respect for acknowledging that nothing everything gets published.
