CMAs Review


Just finished watching the CMAs!! (Thank you DVR.) haha! Anyway, thought I'd do a little recap on my fav. parts of this years awards. ^^^Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert...can you say country music power couple?! They dominated the awards last night! RECAP TIME....


1) Taylor Swift singing "Back to December" - She looked so gorgeous and it was the first time I've ever heard that song...loved it! Plus it was "snowing" on stage and in audience so it just looked so elegant and Christmas-y. My one question...why did she say "What?!" during the audience applause?? The curtain was going down and the camera man flashed back to Taylor and showed this...hhmmm I wonder what was going on! Gotta love LIVE tv!



2) Loretta Lynn singing "Coal Miner's Daughter" with Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert - I don't know about you all but I only thought Sheryl and Miranda were going to be singing...like a tribute. Then all of sudden out some Loretta comes in in this glitzy ball gown. She is sooo amazing! You go Loretta!



3) Brad Paisley tearing up during his acceptance speech for Entertainer of the Year - Not much more to say! haha! He's usually such a joke-ster and it was pretty precious to see tears in his eyes and his voice cracking a bit. Definitely deserved the award!



4) Gwyneth Paltrow singing "Country Strong" from her new movie - BEST OF THE NIGHT!!! Not saying she's the best singer in the world, but definitely a surprise performance! I really didn't know what to expect! I didn't know she could sing or play guitar! Gwyneth really sounded awesome and now I'm really pumped to see her new movie and hear her sing again!



THANK YOU CMAs!!!! YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT!!!

Anyone else tune in to this year's Country Music Awards?? What were your fav parts?!

Gretchen Bleiler...Need I Say More?


I LOVE Snowboarding and for those out there that love it too...you'll be really interested in today's post! One of my favorite athletes and role models is Gretchen Bleiler! She's an amazing snowboarder and a pioneer for women's snowboarding. Not familiar? Listen to this...


GB was born in the midwest and moved to Aspen when she was 10...there she was introduced to snowboarding! The rest is history. She created the first ever all women half-pipe competition and is a spokeperson in climate change. GB took 1st place at the 2010 X Games and competed in the 2006 and 2010 Olympics...which I couldn't stop watching! I wish the Winter Olympics was every year!! Plus she's won many many more awards...too many to list. She's got a contract with Oakley...so super cute snow gear and goggles! And she always has a smile on her face. Any young girls or women looking for a role model? Think I just found ya one!

What celebs or athletes do you look up to?

I'm a Wildflower



FOR COUNTRY FANS ONLY:


Hahah! Actually anyone can read this, but if you don't like country music...this probably won't be your thing...


I love hearing fun songs from new country artists....so let me introduce you to The JaneDear Girls! They're a little funky and totally country. And their first hit single "Wildflower" has been stuck in my head all week! Its a cutesy country girl song. Check it out!!


Hey, I'm a wildflower, growin' in the sunshine, soakin' up the way of life I was raised in, runnin' barefoot bloomin' in a summer shower, ponytail dancin' I cant help it I'm a wildflower.
