We Likey Wednesday

Girl Crush: Schuyler Fisk

You might recognize her from Orange County. And if you were raised in the 90's, you'll probably recognize her from The Babysitters Club. But she really stole our hearts when she started singing with Joshua Radin. Listen here! You'll see.

Boy Crush(es): Bret and Jemaine of Flight of the Conchords 

Look at those two. How could you not love those creepishly adorable faces?

If you haven't heard of Flight of the Conchords, please repent and go watch this video. Or this one.

(there's more where that came from)

And it doesn't hurt that they have New Zealand accents.

Flava of the Week: Birthday Cake Oreos

via

It's Oreo's 100th anniversary, and to celebrate they decided to become 100 times more awesome and make these Birthday Cake Oreos, which are just regular Oreos with cake flavored frosting. Let's just say we ate a whole box within an hour of buying it...

We want: Floral Jeans

Last year, colored jeans were the big thing. This year, we're taking this relationship to the next level with floral jeans. 

They add just the right amount of sass and femininity.

Tunes: Penguin Cafe Orchestra, "Music for a Found Harmonium"

If you're ever in the mood for some easy listening instrumental music, always go to Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Also, 10 points to Gryffindor if you can tell us where you recognize this from.

Funnies: SomeEcards

We wish we didn't have to admit that we've spent hours on Pinterest reading these things. 

But they're so funny and so applicable to our lives. 

We wish we didn't have to admit that either.

Spring Fling

Remember that time when we said we would post about our sponsors for the BYU Blogger meet up? Well just cause we like to keep the suspense rolling (and the fact that we're still working out tiny little details), we figured we'd just give you an outfit post instead. 

We've realized we're forcing Spring on everyone around here.

 So what if we wear white pants and floral headscarves in February? It's not wrong.

What are you doing to prep for your spring wardrobe?

Prep and Planning

Hey guys!

So today we had another meeting with Elizabeth about the BYU Blogger Meet-up!

Everything is coming together and we couldn't be more excited.

We've picked up a few more sponsors that we'll announce on Monday.

 They've offered to do some AMAZING giveaways, so you guys should be getting real pumped. 

We're kind of jealous we can't win them. 

It's only a few weeks away, so be sure to email 

byubloggermeetup@gmail.com to reserve your spot and get the invoice!

Also, if you're going, make sure to spread the word!

And happy Saturday to all!

xoxo

We Likey Wednesday

You guys. We're horrible bloggers. We don't know how this happened.

Forgive us?

What if we do a little make-up We Likey to beg for your love back?

Yeah. Let's try that.

Girl Crush: Kristen Bell

We finally got around to watching this video. And let us just say, any woman that gets that emotional over a sloth* gets our respect. Plus, every time she talks we always think

"Serena... And who am I... That's a secret I'll never tell... You know you love me... xoxo"

*speaking of sloths, watch this.

Boy Crush: Zac Efron

Well this is way overdue. But we watched The Lucky One trailer and it was like falling in love all over again. Like... holyfreakincrap. 

Flava of the Week: Malawi's Pizza

Okay, so we know we post about pizza at least once a week, but we thought Malawi's deserved a proper shout out. Not only does it have the most delicious pizza and pasta, but for every meal you buy, they donate a healthy meal to a child in Malawi, Africa. They're like the TOMS of the pizza business!

Doing good has never been so tasty.

We Want: NEON

We're seriously loving this neon trend for spring. So happy and bright! 

(And when you wear it, you'll literally be unforgettable because it gives people an afterimage when they look away.)

Tunes: Phantogram, "When I'm Small"

This song is just soooooo good.

That's all we got to say about that.

Funnies: Bad Lip Reading- Gingrich

Okay so we're slightly obsessed with all the BLR videos, but this one's our favorite.

If you like laughing, you'll probably like it too. 

Be cool, okay?

Insta-Life: President's Day Weekend

We are thankful for the Presidents because they have given us this opportunity to sit around all weekend eating and watching TV. 

Here are a few glimpses into our exciting lives:

We kicked this sucker off with some Station 22.
 We went a little crazy and actually ordered something other than the turkey club.
This is an accomplishment for our resistent-to-change selves.

So we got a little hyped up on excitement about the BYU Blogger Meet up and decided to visit the venue, The Chocolate.
I mean, we have to test it out again for you guys, right? Still good. Don't worry.

boyz

This is our missionary friend Joey. Just look at that adorable face.
One of us is going to marry him one day, whether he likes it or not.

If you ever want to make your life 1000% better, make pancake mix. Then add a crap ton of cinnamon and vanilla.
It will blow your mind and make you question everything you once knew.

Once you've made the pancakes, it is pertinent that you watch a chick flick. Sense and Sensibility does the trick.

Oh, and just a reminder: If you're planning on attending the BYU Blogger Meetup, make sure you email Elisabeth at BYUBloggermeetup@gmail.com and let her know!

Well guys, we don't have anything that interesting to blog about today.

But we hope everyone has a fabulous {much needed} President's Day Weekend!

We're going to go be lazy and catch up on all of our T.V shows.

Huzzah for productivity!

What are your plans?

We just had a meeting with Brooke and Elisabeth and we're getting more and more excited. Were about to shopping for some hardcore crafty decorations (yeah, this is serious). 

The meet-up will be held on the evening of March 8th at The Chocolate in Orem.

Which is the world's cutest little bakery/cafe/delicious pizookie place. Yeah, we're pretty sure we've blogged about it before. That's how much we love it.

Also, we're charging a small $7 cover fee just to cover venue and food. 

Space IS limited so email Elisabeth as soon as possible to reserve your spot and so she can send you the invoice for the cover charge. Email her at

We Likey Wednesday

Girl Crush: Karli Kloss

In honor of New York Fashion Week, we wanted to show some high fashion love for one of our favorite models. Ah. So insanely beautiful.

Boy Crush: Michael Ealy

Found him in a movie trailer that played before The Vow.

Those eyes? Is this real life?

Flava of the Week: Bear Country Cookies

This place, which can be found at Gateway Mall in SLC possibly has the best cookies in the world. So much warm, chocolatey, yummy goodness.

We Want: Clogs

The Etna

The Victoria

Are these not the cutest shoes you have ever seen? 

They're so fun. Like we could prance around like little Swedish girls in them. 

We're dying over all the styles at Ugglebo Clogs

Tunes: Bon Iver, "Holocene"

We're so glad that one of our favorite artists, Bon Iver finally got the recognition they deserved this year at the Grammy's. This song was nominated Song and Record of the year and the band itself won Best New Artist and more. So proud.

Funnies: Bein' a Quirky Girl

Zooey D. hosted SNL last week. We think this sketch was made specifically for us.
Or just bloggers in general. 

Lovey Dovey

Happy Valentine's Day!

We wish we had the time and resources to send out individual paper Valentines to all of you like we were forced to do in elementary school.

 But this time it wouldn't be forced because we love you. Too soon?

Well anyways, because this is the day we celebrate love, we wanted to share 5 things that we love in our lives!

1. Family! 

The crazy people that taught us how to love in the first place. We're so grateful to be a part of fun, loving families and we love love love them!

2. Friends!

(yes that's mrs. dtf, back when she was ms. krj)

We're not sure how the fates have been so good to us. But they have brought us to some of the best people in the world, which brought about the best memories in the world. And we're not complaining.

3. FOOD

Woah. That's a lot of food. You know how people say they need the ones they love to live? Well we actually need food to live. So there you go.

4. Our Faith

Our faith has taught us what it means to not only feel love, but to love others selflessly in a Christ-like manner. Regardless of beliefs, we can all learn a thing or two from this video.

5. Music

And just because we're sappy people, we put together a little playlist of our favorite love songs.
