Guilty Pleasures

The theme for this month’s Total Social is guilty pleasures. Honestly though, I’m not one to admit to guilty pleasures, that is, I like what I like and I’m really not ashamed to admit I do. I don’t generally see the point in feeling guilty for enjoying something, JUST DO YOU.

In any case, I’ll play along because I’ve really been enjoying reading/seeing everyone else’s posts!

1)  One Direction

I saw them in concert last summer, yes, at 23 and I had the time of my life. I sang, I danced, I drank and I cried. Yep. The best part being that the drink line wasn’t too long because most of the people there were under the age of 12. That’s a win if you ask me. I love everything about 1D and was so depressed I couldn’t see them again this year.

2)    Keeping up with the Kardashians/RHO *insert city here*/Dance moms etc.

      

      Basically any reality show that people class as mindless and stupid I ADORE. Just try and tear me away from the tv on Tuesday or Sunday nights. JUST TRY. I will stand my ground. True life : I am addicted to reality tv and I don’t care.

3) YouTube back to school videos

Supplies hauls, organization videos, study tips videos, whatever the topic, I will watch it. As soon as august hits I spend countless hours watching people tell me all about their new notebooks and binders. If that isn’t really sad I don’t know what is, but on the other hand, it makes me really organized? (nope.)

4) Made for TV Movies on Netflix

Most people use their Netflix in a smart way to catch up on their favourite shows. Me, I bypass the popular ones such as House of Cards to watch quality MFT movies. If they have a rating of 3 stars or lower, I’ve probably watched them. Revenge of the Bridesmaids anyone? (Raven Symoné is in it, how could I NOT watch it?)

5) Cleansers

     I don’t know why I have this weird habit of buying cleansers and seriously NEVER using them. They sit on my bathroom counter for months until  I just throw them out. But I still can’t resist buying them. I think I need an intervention.

    What are you ashamed to admit you like?

Toronto-ing

So the time has finally come for my friend and I to embark on our short but sure to be amazing trip to Toronto to see One Direction. I know I am not 13 years old and probably have no business being amongst them screaming my lungs out, but I will be.

The one thing I don't have is shame about what I like. If I enjoy some kind of music, I am going to listen to it. It really doesn't impact other people (as long as I'm not forcing What Makes You Beautiful into your ears). I spent a lot of time when I was a teenager trying to fit in with certain groups based purely on music and I hated it. It's so much easier to just listen to what you want and watch what you than appeasing other people. If you can't enough of Florence and the Machine, dance around your room to it; if Snoop Dogg (or lion now? I can't even) really just 'gets you' then by all means fill your ipod with it. Doesn't matter to me.

I will also be purchasing a few items no doubt when we hit up the Eaton Centre.

It'll be nice to get away for while, even if just for a few days. I wish I had the financial ability to travel anywhere I wanted at any time. I know a girl who just goes wherever she wants and it all seems so exciting. I guess a dose of wanderlust is healthy. I want to start planning my next adventure.

Have a good week folks!
