Well hey there internet...my name's Carolyn and this is my blog. Pretty self-explanatory but felt necessary. I'm currently studying at the University of Kansas and I'm double majoring in Psychology and Journalism (with an emphasis on Strategic Communications). I'm new to the whole blogging thing but am excited to get started!
While most college students found out about Mike Posner last school year, I downloaded his first CD for free, when it was on iTunesU and have loved him since then.
I've given up on the "I found them first" argument in most cases, because now music travels so fast sometimes it's just too hard to keep up. One of my favorite things about Mike Posner is the remixes people make of his music. Thanks to the Hype Machine I have so many that are amazing.
Mike Posner vs. Deadmau5
Please Don't Go (DOSVEC Remix)
Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover) by Mike Posner
Cooler Than Me
Cover by Neon Hitch
Background music "Breathe Me" by Sia
All three of these remixes/covers take his music to another level. I could listen to these all day.
So after this weekend, I decided to conquer a new frontier in my nail polish obsession.
I had heard of water marbling before, but had no idea how to do it- I just knew I wanted to!
My first attempt (I apologize for the paleness):
I used the following nail polishes:
17 Tropical Island, CND Raspberry Parfait, OPI Jade is the New Black, and Seche Vite Top Coat.
I am really pleased with my first attempt, but now I think I like it so much I might run out of all my nail polish! This uses SO much nail polish, so I wouldn't use colors/brands that you are running low on or your favorite colors.
If you're wondering how I did it, my best advice would be to check out this video, and this step by step picture:
Water marbling is so fun and lets you be really creative! I would recommend it if you have a long time, and lots of patience!

P.S. Props to Jessie for teaching me! Check out her nail creations:
It's been far too long! As much as I would like to create one big fabulous post to cover the past three months, I won't bore you.
Just some things that have happened since November:
-I am a bonafied Belieber.
Not only is he beautiful, he is truly talented. The $30 I've spent on Never Say Never was worth it.
And, his music is perfect for lipsyncing alone on long drives but I've even found a version that non-beliebers can appreciate.
-I went to NYC for NYE and then to Israel for an Alternative Winter Break. Both were awesome. For those of you who are curious, Times Square NYE is cool, but not fun. Do it once. Bucket List item for sure.
-I have started the job search hardcore. At first I was afraid (I was petrified) of putting myself out there, but once I got the ball rolling, I am feeling good. I'm hoping that my hard work pays off and the connections I've made through the years will be there to help me out.
-I went to my last home KU game as a student! Sad but awesome. I know I'll be back but it just made graduating that much more real.
-School and Kansan life is good. Unfortunately I know that as soon as something miraculous happens on the job front, my motivation for school is gone. Loving Kansan life right now! All of our teams are performing so well and I am impressed more and more everyday by our new staff members!
I'll (hopefully) keep up with the blog, spilling my random thoughts and internet finds for all to see.
