#ChooseBeautiful

Every day we are faced with a choice. The choice of how we feel about ourselves. Do we feel beautiful? Or do we feel inadequate compared to everyone else? Are we good enough? What are others thinking? 

Dove has inspired us once again. Choose Beautiful. When faced with a decision we should always choose beautiful because that is what we are. A lot of the times we find ourselves choosing the average because we begin to really believe that that's all that we are, but we are much, much more than that. Sometimes messages like these are exactly what we need to come to a realization that we are truly beautiful and everyone should believe that as well.

Let us all make the decision today to Choose Beautiful and help others to Choose Beautiful as well.

The Sounds of AHH

Who knew that a Coca-Cola commercial could bring so much happiness? Putting a little twist on the song "Little Talks", Kurt Schneider has created a little piece of happy for Coca-Cola to share with everyone.

People are always creating music in different ways and this has definitely been one of my favorites. It's amazing how little clips like this can instantly spread smiles across the country to others. People across the world are able to be connected with music like this and Coca-Cola is definitely thinking on their toes.

So here is a little bit of happiness to add to your day.

Lighthouse

Discovering new songs is probably one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes I'll just click a random video on YouTube and next thing you know, that song has become my new obsession.

Lighthouse by G.R.L. It was written in memory of Simone Battle who was a member of G.R.L who recently passed due to suicide. The group created this song in an effort to reach out to other people who might be struggling and giving them a chance to talk.

It's amazing how a song could possibly change your life and with one click of a button, it could reach out to someone in need. Give it a listen.

I Really Like You

This was definitely a different take on a Carly Rae Jepsen song. Who knew that you would find Tom Hanks dancing and singing to Carly Rae? I certainly didn't. Although, you have to admit it was an attention grabber. We've become so used to seeing certain actors, actresses, and singers in particular roles that it catches us off guard when we don't see them in the norm.

In a way this video was a realization that different celebrities do perform a variety of different things and can take on a variety of roles. It also shows just how broad a spectrum of talents one actor can have and Tom Hanks definitely has the part.

I'm a Pepper

Sometimes you try to picture yourself years from now and wonder where you'll be or what kind of person you'll be. I'll tell you what. I want to be as happy as this woman is with a Dr. Pepper. This 104-year old woman fell in love with the Dr.Pepper when she was 60 years old and has been drinking it every since. "3 Dr. Peppers a day keeps a doctor away." I loved how happy this woman was on her 104th birthday when Dr. Pepper delivered a cake and gift basket to this woman who has been so loyal to the one and only Dr. Pepper. This little video was able to spread a little laugh and a little happiness to everyone who saw it.

Dr. Pepper is my weakness and I hope that I can live this long and still proclaim my love for this Texas drink. #drpepperlove

Baby Elephant

Ever have one of those weeks that seem to be overwhelming and you feel like you might not get anything done? Well I've found that even when you feel like you're drowning in school work and you have time for nothing at all, there are little moments of happiness that get you through.

For me it was this short video of a baby elephant struggling with bath time. It's amazing how such a simple thing can bring a smile to your face. YouTube has definitely been a blessing at times, and this video was one of those blessings. Even though the baby elephant seems to be struggling, he also seems to be having the time of his life.

The Internet can lead you to exactly what you need sometimes. Now to get back to my paper....

Day One

Every so often I am reminded of the fact that I should be keeping a journal. Whether it's simply writing my thoughts throughout the day or certain things that I know I'm going to want to remember. Like that moment you think to yourself, I should write this down, you should write it down. 

I was recently introduced to this app for the iPhone, Day One. It records journal entries that allows you to include pictures and different hashtags in order for you to see related posts. It even creates these entries as PDF's so you can print them out later. I was in aww. I was introduced to a way that I could keep my journal on hand wherever I go, especially on the device that I use the most and am always on. 

Media is continuing to change the way that we look at certain things and even making things incredibly easy to use. Day One will now be one of my best friends and my new pen pal.
