Happy Friday!

Good afternoon readers! For some of you this is the end of your first week to yet another term of education, and for the rest of us (like me) this is the beginning of the last weekend of summer, yikes!
But just because Summer is ending and i should be writing my summer reading essays does NOT mean that the summer look has to go away just yet. And this is what i'm talking about: HAIR. Who doesn't love those waves that magically form on your gorgeous locks after a day at the beach? And while it's not easy to capture enough salty sea air in a bottle to spritz on all year long it IS easy to mimic the same great look with this delicious product: Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing spray.

Notice the background? If you don't, heads up: This means that the dynamic duo are back together for the weekend!

I came across this product while sitting in the very room that i'm blogging to you in and bought my first bottle in the Urban Outfitters in New York City with J. This delicious coconut-smelling spray gives the best waves out of any sea salt spray I've tried. Warning: it does leave your hair a bit crunchy due to all the salt that's in it but your hair is so sexy that you don't even realize. I cover my head with a thin layer and scrunch my locks up with my fingers, shake my head a few times and boom. I even like using it before I curl my hair to get more volume. SO GO OUT AND BUY SOME. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

halfway there. and then some.

Today took my first steps as I embarked upon the many adventures of being an upperclassmen. Let me tell you friends, so far it's been a disappointing journey. I hitched a ride with a lovely friend, got some coffee, but the day was less than I expected. The Class of 2012 is gone, and something is missing in the hallways. There's a loss of presence that was so apparent before. I don't really care for the grade above me, give or take a few, so I don't really have much to look up to. My day started out with advisory, then mythology. Not gonna lie, I'm excited for the course itself. And I was totally pumped when Zane Milo Deso walked through the doorway. But being on separate sides of the room is no fun whatsoever. In physics, my teacher just started teacher when I walked through the door. Hello Mr.Chidley! loljk. Pre-Calc was lovely because I have an old teacher who I LOVED and my two favorite gingers in that class. Lunch was mediocre. Mostly because of the lack of the old seniors. The school feels so bland. And empty. Business law was actually really interesting to me, even though there's about eight people in my class. I think I'm going to stick with it. Whatever gets me into Harvard, right?

Take me to your best friends house

Hello fellow Boaters, Bow fanatics, or Baristas! Picture from J and H's recent trip to Vermont are up and looking as flawless as ever thanks to Avery Fiftal Photography. Hope to go up again soon <3 XOXO-H

 Our hike up to Mount Okemo was breathtaking. We felt so blessed to be surrounded by the most amazing friends in the world

And the best part of all of these, they are actually completely candid, not even the "I know my picture is being taken so I'm going to look like I'm acting normal"

say a prayer, the summer nights are dead.

           Tonight it ends. The past two and a half months have practically been commitment free, and full of adventure. I've gone to some pretty incredible places, like Bermuda and New York and Vermont and Cape Cod with some pretty incredible people. I've been to beaches, I've been to shows, I've been to parties. But I'm still not satisfied. Do you ever feel like you've got so much wasted potential on your hands?

           I suppose it's because the beginning of the summer started off with a bang. I had a new boy to save me from the sorrows of the last. A had a huge group of friends who would hang out nearly everyday, going to the beach in groups of twenty people. Then at night, drink so much we forgot what even happened. And then it dwindled down as things always do. By that point I was off on a plane to a lovely British territory and tropical island. It was breaktaking, and hard to top. Maybe that's why the rest of the summer didn't compare? Within two days of my return, I was out again and off to the Cape to meet up with my lovely bestfriend, H. Call me a gypsy. I stayed there for four or five days, taking in the magic of Chipotle and Magic Mike. Coming home to a firework show and intoxication was wonderful. The rest of the summer is a blur, up until Vermont and Warped Tour. After that, I began spending more time with my recent graduates, going to the beach and parties with them amd just hanging out to cherish them while they're still around. Now, as a matter of fact, most of them are gone. There were two nights in particular that were the unforgetable-although-i-don't-remember-much kind: Ryan's and Aidan's Olympic get together. And then there was Vermont with the gang, which was absolutely positively one of the greatest weekends I've ever had. Particularly the first night. Everyone I could ever really need was in the large and beautiful house. I actually tried very hard to keep my phone off that weekend, because I felt like nothing else was more important. I hate when you walk into a room full of people and they're all on their phones or ipods or tablets or whatever. WE ALL NEED TO CHERISH EACH OTHER. Although nothing will ever compare to last year's last night of summer: last night was very appropriate and full of last night of summer activites.

                 

Music of Week 2

So this week I've been listening to whole albums such as:

1. Fun.- Some Nights (They are amazing live too!

2. Indina Menzel/Kristin Chenoweth- Wicked soundtrack

3. One Direction- Up All Night

4. The Band Perry's self titled album

Then there are some singles I've been obsessed with:

1.Thompson Square-Are you gonna kiss me or not?

2. Mac Miller- The Spins

3. Fishhouse- Feel Good Song

4. Blown Away- Carrie Underwood

I thinnk I'm crazy baby, let you off the hook too easy

Boys. They're so infuriating. I can't even describe how unbelievably frustrated I am right now at the fact that I can't get through to them, ANY OF THEM. You think you know how to turn on the charm. You can be sweet. You can be mysterious. You can even be frisky. But any which way you put it, 99% of the time you will be wrong. And now you just look like an idiot who seems desperate and annoying. So please, if anyone has any advice on how to get someone to flirt back, enlighten me.

By the time I realize this moment, this moment will be gone.

As cliche as it sounds, there really should be a novel written about Fitch Cheer. We've been through so much and become a huge sisterhood. I had no idea how much I cherished the team and our bond until it was gone. The past two seasons have been momentous and life changing. We've lost and won a variety of battles, leading us to our long time coming ECC championship title. It was our peak, the top of the mountain. But just as the rising actions lead to the climax, the falling actions come snowballing behind. Our notorious coach that breeds excellence was laid off on my birthday. When we were informed, I didn't cry, because I was sure we could over come this roadblock. We've been through worse, right? But after countless names signed on petition after petition, and all of our complaints and press releases and appearances didn't work, we all began to loose hope. We lost our coach and we were starting over. The bond was gone. Five of the strongest girls I know were gone and off to college. And now we had a new coach to hold the team? Some days I'm not even sure if I want to put up with it and even cheer anymore. All the heart and soul that was once so prevalent due to our friendships on this team is now minimal, because nearly everyone on the team is dying for a certain title. Although my complaints are unimportant to most of you, it's a feeling that I will never have again. It's
the pride and passion we shared, and we all cared about that team so much that we were all one. And tonight, at a bonfire with some of the graduates it
hit me that I am never going to experience going on the mat with those ladies ever again. That I had no idea how special it was to be with them, having them each carry their own weight and special part on the team, now gone. It's like something huge inside me is missing. And the season hasn't even begun.

Beach day!

I know, I know. Pale people do not belong at the beach but I mean hey, a girl can dream of being tan, right? Plus Newport is my favorite place around here. Cupcake Charlie's and JW is such a lethal combination..

Music of Week 1

Good Morning Bloggers, and yes I mean morning. Someone's been keeping me up at all hours of the night so sleeping this late is the only way I don't rip someone's head off with the cranky attitude. Worth it though? Definitely.

While J is off being responsible at her job or whatever it is she's doing in the big CT I will interest you in what I do all day long: Listen to music and dance around my house. Here's what's up this week:

1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together-Taylor Swift

      -Although this is much more pop-y than her other songs, I have not failed to play it at least 75 times since it's release on August 13th. I miss her country twang but I'm souped out of my mind for October 22nd.

2. Neon- Chris Young

3. Wonderwall- Oasis (Although I do love the cover One Direction did of it)

4- Ho Hey-the Lumineers

5-Little Talks-Of Monsters and Men

6. The A-Team- Ed Sheeran

7. Up All Night-1D

Nothing like the smell of coffee in the morning

Yesterday was my first day of work. Ever. I recently got a job at Starbucks, and began my training from 10 to 4:30. It was a long and exhausting day, but I got so much out of it. I am not trying to bore anyone with details, nor say too much about a certain situation. But my trainer was named Gretchen and she was a wonderful lady. I brewed coffee and worked the register and learned how to prepare food. Today, the 21st. I studied drink recipes for an hour and cleaned the bathrooms, getting bleach all over myself. I obviously live the glamourous barista lifestyle. Regardless, I'm thrilled and having so much fun. Perhaps it's due to the fact that this is my first job, or maybe that I get free drinks whenever I desire. Either way I'm learning a lot and from my experiences so far I really enjoy the company. My encounter with a previous fling's previous lover turned out just fine, as well as my encounter with my "arch nemesis". That's about it.

Greetings from the Other Half!

Hello everyone! I am going to be referred to as J, the other half of this lovely blog me and H are starting. Just to inform everybody, H is my closest friend at heart, but unfortunately in distance it's quite the opposite. We decided to throw a blog together to strengthen our bond and hopefully entertain some people. Not exactly sure where this is going, but I assume it will be quite interesting. Enjoy ;)
I am sixteen year old girl who enjoys kissing boys. I am a cheerleader as well, for high school and all stars. Going into my junior year, one of my biggest priorities is academics. I very recently picked up a job as a barista, and I love every second of it. Or at least the past two days I've been working. I live near the ocean and live for the summer time. I love to dress well and smell good.

XOXO - J

Welcome!

Welcome, Welcome! My name is Hadley and I am 1/2 of BBB. This is our first blog and we're SO excited to get started. 
Jamie Marie is my best friend in the whole world and although there's  60 minute drive between our houses we are completely souped to share this blog. Sometimes we'll post together, but more often than not we're going to be posting similar things from two different towns. 
I am sixteen years of age, 5'8", and entering my junior year of high school where I will be going back as President of the Class of 2014 (That sounded a bit arrogant, I apologize). I am an all-star cheerleader and also a mediocre lacrosse player. I love to eat, cook, and sing at the TOP of my lungs. I also love boys, movies, and Great Britain. Fashion is a large part of my life mostly because I have a tendency to buy things constantly, even though I'm broke 90% of the time. My style is more preppy than anything else with a lot of girly touches. 
I'm not sure what exactly you'll get out of this blog but stick with us, we're pretty awesome.
XOXO-H
