tomorrow i am heading back to good ol’ long island. there’s something so nice about going back home, eating your favorite food, seeing family, and watching more tv/movies than you should. even though it’s only a few days, in typical “meg fashion” i’ve made a little list of things i need to do, and what my family plans to do before my brother and i head back to school. this list has been deemed blog-worthy, for whatever reason i don’t know, but i figured i would introduce you all to my version of long island living.

1. get a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll and a large half & half

2. head out east and go fishing in montauk

3. stay up way too late watching sons of anarchy and the on the run special

4. bake an insane amount of cookies, specifically gingersnaps

5. curl up in front of the fireplace with the pups

6. buy fall decorations (PRIORITIES!!!)

7. relax with the family, eat chinese food, and watch movies

8. walk along the bay with my mama

9. shake shack and late night movies with the best friend

10. and most of all, just enjoy being home

at this point this is probably so redundant, but i felt i had to write a post on queen bee’s takeover of the grammy’s last night. in my humble opinion it was complete domination, and i wouldn’t expect anything less. if i haven’t made this known yet i have nothing but love for bey, and love is probably the wrong term. obsessed, maybe? obsessed sounds creepy, so let’s just go with serious admiration. this admiration is so deep rooted that i got a call from my mom last night because when “drunk in love” was debuted my mom knew that i would want to know. i don’t think i need to go into detail, because the glory that was jay and bey’s performance is all over the internet. it was glorious though, and worthy of playing on loop while i write this. if by any chance you didn’t see the performance, the grammy’s have taken down almost every video online, but hopefully this link will stay up! to keep up my post-performance rush i’ll keep stalking beyoncé’s apparel site, contemplating the purchase of a surfboard sweatshirt for the thousandth time… (i realize i sound like an insane, obsessed fan, and i just wanted to let you all know it couldn’t be more true.)

after having monday off because of martin luther king, jr. day, tuesday off for a snow day, delayed openings on wednesday a.k.a. cancelled morning classes, and no class on fridays, i have really only been to classes today. basically i feel like this week has turned into a weekend, and since it feels like a weekend i decided to do my link loving post a little bit earlier than usual. so without further ado, this is what i’ve been looking up:

i feel like i’ve mentioned this before but i love lions. it probably stems from spending a good part of my childhood watching the lion king, but i’m going to be dramatic and call it fate. i’m also a leo, so that helps, and my hair on good and bad days alike can resemble that of a lion’s mane. embracing it has been a lifelong process, but it’s something i’m working on. before i totally tangent, i’ll get back to the point. this video is everything. it’s an encounter between kevin richardson and the lions that love him like family. it’s as crazy and amazing as it sounds, and i’ll admit it had me tearing up.

i recently found these illustrations on instagram and i’m obsessed. the artist, sally spratt, basically paints anything she’s lusting after and it always looks amazing. also, half the time she makes we want everything she’s drawing… so there’s that.

when i study/do work/basically do anything i always listen to music. without it i get really distracted. i have multiple itunes playlists and pandora stations i go through, but last week i found songza and i’m obsessed. depending on the time of day and the day of the week there are different curated playlists and from what i’ve listened to they’re all really good. i’m still pretty new to the site, but these are the playlists i’ve been listening to. 

there isn’t much of a description needed for this next link. all that needs to be said is that beyoncé opened up her online store and i proceeded to lose it. here are a few of my favorites: the burnout shirt and the surfboard sweatshirt

oyster is the new netflix for books and my newest obsession. for 9.99 a month you can read anything you want. as someone who loves to read, it’s kind of perfect.

one of the most inspiring commercials i’ve seen, and i promise you’ll love it too.

last summer i was on the hunt for a shark tooth necklace. when i say shark tooth necklace i bet you picture a big white tooth on a black cord with maybe one, or two puka shells. that is not the look i happen to be going for. i finally found one i really liked on etsy, and the store owner has some other amazing pieces too.

just another show to add to the roster. matthew mcconaughey and woody harrelson star in true detective, and after watching the season premiere i’m hooked. i usually try to avoid “scary” shows, but i’m sticking this one out.

so i haven’t done one of these posts in forever, but it is honestly up there with one of my favorite things to write about. every single time i sit down to write one of these, i always reminisce like crazy, and basically wonder how time literally flies by. one minute i’m sitting on my bed with my little man, brady (aka the greatest pups ever) and the next i’m sitting here in my school library, missing that same little man. it’s moments like these that make me miss my home and family, but as my mom keeps reminding me parent’s weekend here at georgetown is getting closer and closer. so until next time, here is a little update on my daily ongoings here in dc. (plus a few summer throwbacks)

beyonce, dc, new york, paris, red, red lipstick, washington

tumblr_mh6snwbF741qd3bpyo1_500so i made it home for spring break, and have definitely taken this week as a chance to unwind, work out and lay in bed listening to stay by rihanna (no joke). see how i threw work out in there between relaxing? it makes me seem athletic and fit, but in reality i’m capable of sleeping until 2 pm. mind you, post-workout i literally feel like i’m incapable of breathing… plus, i look super pretty right after i get off the treadmill. anyways, the focus of this post is on the color red. i used to be averse to wearing it, but i always loved it. i also had an obsession with red lipstick which i never attempted to try until the lipstick chili flake (sold at j.crew) came into my life. if there has been anything the color red has taught me, it’s to not be afraid to take risks, because sometimes they work out (and yes, sometimes they don’t) and when they do it feels great. i feel like red can make almost anything BAM, so i found pictures which seem pretty BAM to me. yeah, i just made BAM an adjective, just go with it?

when in rome (aka when in dc)

beyonce, inauguration, obama, rome, when in rome

Romebeing a college student in washington, d.c. has its many perks, especially for the political crowd. even though i avoid politics as much as i can (anti-dc i know), that doesn’t mean i don’t appreciate the area i’m in and the opportunities dc presents. on the night of the election, you could have caught me running (or seriously struggling due to shoe choice) to the white house with the majority of georgetown’s student population…as the saying goes “when in rome do as the romans do.” it’s fitting then that i attended my first ever inauguration yesterday, wearing the same shoes mind you (once again a horrible decision, but more on that later). i woke up at 5.30, put on my warmest clothes, wrapped myself in a blanket and made the trek down to the capitol. being cold was an understatement, but i managed to get a little nap in, finish some homework (clearly had my priorities straight), and then the inauguration began. it was one of the coolest, most amazing things i’ve ever done, and i have the wreckage my feet have become as proof of that. i’d share some more details, but i figure i’d spare you all.. now for what’s really important, i am currently coping with the revelation that beyoncé was caught lip synching. i will say it now, and i will say it again, long live the queen (or queen b).
