Tuesday Tunes with Suze

Meet Suze from Straight on the Ground

I'm such a music person- I love it!  I firmly believe life is too short to listen to bad music.  My whole life, I've listened to all kinds of music.  I was kind of a punk rock kid.


But there's something really cool and interesting to me about cross-genre covers.  Like a punk cover of a pop song, or a country cover of a metal song.  Some people don't like covers- sometimes they're dangerous because they can completely stink.  But I love the new perspective on a song you can come to through covers.


Here are some of my favorite covers.

Bluegrass cover of The Killers' Mr. Brightside by The Bluegrass

Pop punk cover of Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls by Bayside

Piano cover of Taio Cruz's Dynamite by some guy on YouTube

last day of August...

all my lovely ladies,
thank you for your words of encouragement and love yesterday.

life is so good to me.  i thank you for being so kind to me too!

so since it's friday, and the last day of the month, i am trying to wrap up some loose ends by making a last call for September sponsors!

Sponsorship is FREE for the month of September.
If you're interested, leave a comment or please email me and we'll get you set up.
(email: ashley.warner88@gmail.com)

i need a 200x200 or 200x100 image for my sponsor sidebar.

who wants to be a sponsor for September?! 

or let's do a button swap!

happy friday

{roller coaster of love}

my week has been a rollercoster thus far... sometimes dating really blows my mind with how wonderful it is, but in a second it turns around and leaves you laying in the mud with you face down.

i had been on several dates with this gentleman and i had started to enjoy being with him more and more and more.
all of a sudden one day he did a complete 180 and decided he didn't want to see me anymore.

no one likes to hear that.
it hurt.
it hurt so bad that i cried myself to sleep tuesday night and woke up on wednesday with puffy eyes.
i looked like i had been hit with a truck. seriously.

but i woke up on wednesday with an enlightened mind.
dating may suck, but i am not going to let it bring me down.
life is too short to let things like that rule me or make me feel bad about myself.

funny how life works, huh?
i feel like a broken record when i say this, because i am sure if you scroll backwards in my blog, you'll have read this story a time or two....
but i am not ashamed.  this is my life.  it may not be picture perfect, i may not be the woman who cooks perfect "pinterest" worthy meals every night, i am not a size 2, nor will I ever be....but I am happy with my lot in life.

life is good to me.



i love this song.

music is my therapy. 
as is retail.
but as of late, i have realized i'm a poor college student so i cannot use retail as a means to buy my happiness.

i have been listening to a lot of feel good music, eating healthier, working out, and surrounding myself with positivity. 


how do you alleviate negativity in YOUR life?!

I am a sucker for pop music with a fun beat!! But I also LOVE "underground" music which not many people know about!! I just love anything with a good tune. Also,I seriously love Chris Brown!
A couple of my favorite artists which I love that not many people know about include Rachel Platten,Mikal Blue, and Lenka.
 
Top 5 fave:
1000 Ships by Rachel Platten


Gold by Mikal Blue

Back in Time by Pitbull (haha but seriously)

Free by Haley Reinhart


Best Love Song/With You by Chris Brown
