i was going thru my old blog posts to try and organize my tabs, and i realized that in my badlands album review from back in august, the title said "bandlands" and not "badlands". shoot me now.
i know, this blog post is two weeks later than it should be. i'm trying not to do all of my blog posts at once and then not having anything to blog about in a couple weeks after everything dies down. so, with that being said, lets get onto the review!
when halsey announced that colors was going to be a single, i was a little bit disappointed but also very excited. i was disappointed because colors was the most popular song and i kind of thought she was taking the easy way out. but then again, this IS halsey we are talking about, and halsey is an amazing creator and never takes the easy way out. i know she had a plan for colors and made it a single for a reason, and i was excited to see what she was going to do with it.
she had been teasing things about the video for a very long time. i knew going into the video that tyler posey was going to be in it, they were attending a school called "badlands academy" (total halsey thing to do, but i was still obsessed with the idea) and i knew she was going to wear a blonde wig. i thought her and tyler posey were going to be in a relationship just like everybody else did, but just like everyone else, i was wrong. and i kinda kick myself for it because it again is halsey and she likes to mix everything up and throw in surprises nobody quite expected. i am obsessed with the storyline that goes with the video. the secret polaroids that she would take and hide, her dolling herself up, her little "prep girl student" little attitude, but my favorite part has to be the part where she mouths the "you were red, and you liked me 'cause i was blue. you touched me and suddenly i was a lilac sky. and you decided purple just wasn't for you" part. it truly fit in perfect with the video and the meaning behind it. i don't ever think i'll be sick of halsey. everything she does is an art and it is never the same.
RATE / 10/10
WOULD I RECOMMEND? / YESSSSS!!
next week should be my iphone 6s review, if i can stay on my schedule!!
until next week!!

review / fuller house
i know, fuller house came out on netflix a week ago and i'm reviewing it now. like i mentioned in my last post, i am pre-writing posts so i don't fall behind in school, so, i'm writing this the day after fuller house was released on netflix. just to make things clear(er).
i wouldn't say i grew up on full house, but i grew up on full house. my brother and i used to watch it on nick@nite every saturday morning and on abc family everyday over the summer. we loved full house and still do to this day. when i found out this show was coming out, i was so excited. besides getting new full houses with the continuation of dj, stephanie, and kimmy, i was ecstatic to find out that it was going to be on netflix! i can (have been) binge-watch the whole first season!
the first episode made me cry. even thinking about the first episode to write about it is making me tear up!! it was crazy to see everyone (except for michelle... olsen twins.....) all grown up and leaving the full house. not only that, but the theme song in the beginning gave me major nostalgia and feels. and at the end of the first episode, when everyone was leaving and dj was crying with tommy, and stephanie and kimmy said they'd move in to help, major crying moment!! i love dj's boys and kimmy's daughter. jackson, dj's oldest, is a ton like dj was in the older episodes. max, her middle child, has the spunk and attitude that stephanie had, and tommy's just a little baby, just like michelle was when the show first started. kimmy's daughter, ramona, has her own little personality with a mix of gibbler. i am obsessed with the slight shades that they throw at mary-kate and ashley olsen. i think it is hilarious! way to teach them what they're missing out on! i'll admit, i was really scared that this show would be a flop. everyone would build up this massive thing about how great the show was going to be, and then it would be nothing like the originals. totally impressed with the show! it is a ton like the older ones, with a bit of a "2010's" vibe to it, which is totally what today's kids need. i am currently on episode 6, but as soon as i am done watching this, i'm going to go binge it some more!!
RATE - 9/10
WOULD I RECOMMEND? - OF COURSE!
next week i will have a halsey colors mv review. i know, that one will be vv late too! ugh! but i still wanted to write it!
until next week!

review / tlc's rattled!
(keep in mind that i am pre-writing blog posts today so i can get blog posts up without falling behind in my schooling.)
hi everyone! as most of you know, i am obsessed with reality tv. when tlc first announced this show, i didn't think much of it. i have also been off and on following the gardner quads (on my mom's facebook... lol.) for the past 6 months. when i found out that the gardner's were on the show, i started watching. i just finished the 2nd episode an hour ago, and the 3rd isn't out yet! when this is posted, the show will probably be 5 episodes in, so i'd just thought i'd mention where i'm at right now. lets get into the review!
THE SHOW / WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
this show follows four couples. mars and doug from ohio, destiny and sal from new jersey, jason and kristina from new york, and tyson and ashley from utah, who are all first time parents. it follows all of the trials, struggles, and joy of being a first time parent.
MARS AND DOUG
mars and doug met on oh cupid, a dating site, and are now together. mars is 27 and doug is 40. they say despite the age difference, they have a lot in common and really love each other. this is mars's first baby while this is doug's forth. their baby was an accident, and they weren't together very long when mars conceived. they just moved in together and are starting to get ready for baby when mars goes into labor. they give birth to a beautiful baby girl named sophia.
DESTINY AND SAL
destiny is from vegas, and is not your traditional girl. she is a model, a vegetarian, and soon-to-be mother. sal on the other hand, grew up in a very traditional home. most of the men in sal's family are named sal, and if not sal something else, which i totally forgot, which is something sal wants to do with his family, while destiny is opposed to the idea. sal is also a soccer player and is not a vegetarian. they are soon to give birth to a little girl named capri.
JASON AND KRISTINA
jason and kristina have been married for a year and a half, and decided to try to have a baby. they own a business in downtown manhattan, and both are very invested in their business. they have scheduled feedings and nap times set for their baby, and have tablets all over the house to remind them when it's time to feed their baby or put them down for a nap. they say they do it so their baby can be on a schedule and sleep well thru the night. they have a baby boy that they named lincoln.
ASHLEY AND TYSON
ashley and tyson are having quadruplets, which are all girls, and they are also 2 sets of identical twins. they were conceived thru years of saving and going thru infertility. since ashley's pregnancy is so high risk, she is on strict hospital bed rest. her doctor's goal is for her to go till 28 weeks, while her own personal goal is 30. they meet in the middle at 29 weeks, when ashley's water broke. they give birth to four premature baby girls - indie, esme, scarlett, and evangeline (evie).
REVIEW
i have really enjoyed the show so far. it really shows how difficult it is to be a parent for the first time, and to see each couple's family grow and expand. i can't wait for future episodes, and to see if they can still juggle parenthood and everything else life throws at them!

review! - sally hansen miracle gel nail polish
hi everybody!! i didn't post last week because i decided to redo the blog instead, and i'm very impressed with how it looks now! please comment below and check out our social media's! (on the sidebar ------------->) let's get started!
i recently have been eyeing these nail polishes, because i've wanted to do gel nails for a while now. i finally caved and bought a color and a top coat! (i got the color "b girl" if you were curious, and i'm obsessed) these are what they look like if you were curious
it comes with a nail polish color and a top coat. it is very easy to apply, base coat of nail polish, then a second coat, and then the top coat. after you put on the top coat, the nail polish has a shiny, matte finish on your nails and looks amazing. it is a very strong nail polish and stays that way on your nails. i have had it on since tuesday and it is starting to crack and peel away, so it didn't last as much as i would have liked it too, but i am still very impressed with how it makes beautiful, gel nails without a heat lamp! i would recommend this to anyone who has been thinking about doing gel nails.

about candi! (about the author)
totally forgot to post last week, my apologies!!
i was writing down blog ideas for the month last night, and i had in mind the new readers i have had on here, as well as my mass amounts of new twitter (@halseyxlilac) and instagram (@iamtovelo) and thought i would do a little get to know me post. i am already planning a ootw for next week's post (probably won't go up till next saturday :() so keep on the lookout for that next week! enough of all this, lets get into the post!
my real name is savannah. candi is a fake online name i made up when i was younger because i didn't feel comfortable giving my name out.
i am a sagittarius and my birthday is december 17 (year isn't important...)
for me, music is the center of everything. i always tend to have music playing.
my favorite artists to listen to are halsey, panic! at the disco, tove lo, melanie martinez, avril lavigne, adele, and a little bit of stuff i listened too when i was younger. (britt nicole, cher lloyd, kelly clarkson, ellie goulding) i will listen to everything except country because i hate country.
my first blog was a britt nicole fan page that is still up if you feel like reading my embarrassing blog posts from 2 years ago (click here to read...) (btw, i shared that blogger account with one of my really good friends, she had her blog, and i had mine, but we shared the account)
i also love to clean and organize (i know, that's super weird, but i love having my life cleaned and organized!)
going on with things i love, i love to read, write, dance, color (i can't draw to save my life), go on long car rides, travel, social media, shopping, my phone, my friends and family, my bed, netflix (law and order svu is what i'm obsessing over currently), taking/having pictures, baths, hot tubs, california, disneyland, concerts, the beach, naps, hair and makeup, target, and several other things i can't think of right now.
i am sick and have been undergoing blood testing for a year and a half now with no sure answer of what is wrong. due to that, i do miss a lot of school and sleep a ton. i tend to go for a nap over several other things lately.
i have the mouth of a sailor (thanks mom) and it will come out a ton
i also have really bad anxiety. i have friends i haven't talked too for months because i'm afraid they won't like me anymore/think i'm really weird and i hate it more than the world.
i hate starting conversations due to it, i only really start conversations with my best friend.
i also have a tumblr that i don't post on very often, but i am always on (click here for my tumblr)
i am a "retired dancer" and i haven't danced for 4 years but i still stretch and do dance exercises everyday to keep my flexibility.
and there is so many more things you will find out about me while following this page and my instagram, tumblr, and twitter pages.
feel free to comment with any questions or to tell a little bit more about yourself! i will read and reply to them all (unless they are wayy too personal).
again, i will have an ootw and hopefully i will have the blog redone by next saturday!
until then,

death of a bachelor - panic! at the disco REVIEW!!!
hi everyone! as many of you know, i love panic!. they are my favorite band (even though they aren't technically a band anymore since it's just brendon and all) and yeah. i've been waiting for this album to come out since hallelujah came out, and i've been counting down the days since i had a release date to count down. january 15th. just make it until january 15th. and i made it. i'm going to review every song one-by-one and then the album as a whole.
1 / VICTORIOUS
tonight, we are victorious. champagne pouring over us. all my friends were glorious. tonight, we are victorious.
victorious is the perfect way to start this album. it is a victory/party anthem that i promise you i am blasting at my graduation party. it is very high beat, and has ridiculously catchy lyrics. victorious is also one of those songs you blast when you are working out to try and keep yourself motivated, you know? a "i need to lose 10 pounds by the end of the month and i need a song that will help me do that" song. (in my case anyway, lol)
2 / DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME
i lost a bet to a guy in a chiffon skirt, but i make these high heels work.
i told you time and time again, i'm not as think as you drunk i am.
good time by far has the best (funniest) lyrics out of the whole album. this song is such a party ballad. something you'd totally blast at a party where everyone is going crazy and getting drunk. one of the best parts of this song (besides the lyrics) is the "rock lobster" sample that goes perfectly with this party ballad.
3 / HALLELUJAH
my life started the day i got caught, under the covers with second hand lovers.
hallelujah is a song about sin, and how nobody is perfect, and how everybody is a sinner. and that is okay. jump up, move your body, and scream "hallelujah"!! this song has such an amazing beat that you find yourself dancing and clapping along to more often than not. another fun, party ballad.
4 / EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
welcome to the end of eras.....
this song screams halloween to me. it may be because brendon turns into satan in the video, it may be the sound that makes me think of "the nightmare before christmas", it can be anything about this song, honestly. emperors has a super ghostly, creepy, halloweeny, feel to it in both the lyrics and the music. truly a masterpiece.
5 / DEATH OF A BACHELOR
i'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall...
death of a bachelor is a total frank sinatra sounding song. totally something that panic! has not done before. (every panic! album is very different) i can totally picture this song being played at an old bar, with girls in poofy dresses and crazy curly hair and guys in old, white button down shirts and jeans, with slicked back hair, dancing and singing along to this song. with the wonderful sound of the beat, and the beautiful lyrics about brendon saying his farewell to his bachelor days, this song is the total package.
6 / CRAZY = GENIUS
if crazy equals genius, then i'm a fucking arsonist. i'm a rocket scientist.
crazy = genius is a very upbeat sinatra sounding song. the beat makes you think of a circus, or an old disco. the lyrics make you think it belongs in a old movie. this song is something you jump up, sing, and dance along to, something i'd totally blast at a birthday or a dance. one of my absolute favorites off of the album.
7 / LA DEVOTEE
drinking white wine in the blushing light, just another la devotee.
everytime i listen to this song, i feel like i'm driving on the streets in california. neon lights shining behind the windows of the car, the palm trees laying over the city, the blue ocean waves crashing against the sand, i feel like i am in la. i want to get in the car, and drive to beautiful los angeles california everytime i hear la devotee. and, i miss la like crazy even though i was there in november, if you couldn't tell.
8 / GOLDEN DAYS
we'll stay drunk, we'll stay tan, let the love remain. and i swear that i'll always paint you, golden days.
golden days starts out with the lyric "i found a pile of polaroids in the crates of a record shop", which ultimately makes me think of polaroids and a record shop. and a romance surrounded around polaroids and a record shop, which sounds like an amazing relationship. the lyrics of this song are amazing. i was instantly in love with this song the moment i heard the little snippet off ESPN that was all over tumblr. it is lyrically beautiful, the sound is beautiful, the feeling i get when i listen to this song is beautiful, all of it is beautiful. by far, my favorite song on the album.
9 / THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE DIRTY
if you want to start a fight, you better throw the first punch. make it a good one.
tgtbatd is a total fight song. i can picture people sitting on old cars watching a massive fight happen while this song is playing. with it's high beat and catchy lyrics, this song is very addictive and will get stuck in your head for a very long time.
10 / HOUSE OF MEMORIES
and when your fantasies, become your legacy, promise me a place, in your house of memories.
this song puts me on the verge of crying everytime i hear it. it is a very sweet love/breakup song talking about how even though we are miles apart and even if you become wildly successful, please remember me and all of our memories. this song is another one of my favorites on the album
11 / IMPOSSIBLE YEAR
there's no sunshine, there's no you and me, there's no good times, this impossible year.
impossible year is the perfect way to end this album. this song sounds like it was sung my sinatra himself. everything is awful and sad, this impossible year.
this album is amazing. i feel the motions, the happy, the sad, and every little thing in between. every lyric, every beat, every little thing about this album is amazing. as much as i love this album, i still love too weird more. but just because it's not my favorite panic! album doesn't mean it still isn't short of beautiful or amazing.
RATE/ 10/10
i recommend this album for anyone who is willing to listen!!
kisses! until next week!

and when your fantasies, become your legacy, promise me a place, in your house of memories.
this song puts me on the verge of crying everytime i hear it. it is a very sweet love/breakup song talking about how even though we are miles apart and even if you become wildly successful, please remember me and all of our memories. this song is another one of my favorites on the album
11 / IMPOSSIBLE YEAR
there's no sunshine, there's no you and me, there's no good times, this impossible year.
impossible year is the perfect way to end this album. this song sounds like it was sung my sinatra himself. everything is awful and sad, this impossible year.
this album is amazing. i feel the motions, the happy, the sad, and every little thing in between. every lyric, every beat, every little thing about this album is amazing. as much as i love this album, i still love too weird more. but just because it's not my favorite panic! album doesn't mean it still isn't short of beautiful or amazing.
RATE/ 10/10
i recommend this album for anyone who is willing to listen!!
kisses! until next week!

ways to stay relaxed / have personal time!
happy 2016! i haven't written on here since the beginning of october! i had a lot happen the last couple of months, i'm not going to go into detail, but i took a break from any and all social media for a little bit. now, i'm back and ready to get back into it all!
a goal i have had for the new year is to take more time for myself and not be on a screen all of the time. so, since the new year, i've been taking an hour (sometimes longer) to do things off of a screen and to take time for myself, and i have found it has improved my mood, my headaches, and my sleeping patterns! so, i thought i would share with you all the things i do to have personal time and stay off of a screen!
1 - READ!!
i love reading. but i never do it! even if i do, i tend to opt for an online book then an actual, paper book. i got some books for christmas, and i love to sit and read them! i would recommend right now, to stop whatever you are doing, (unless you are just reading this post, then wait until the end and go do this) and go to your local library or bookstore, and get a book!! i promise you won't regret it!
2 - color in a coloring book
this one seems a bit odd, but trust me. go get some colored pencils, a coloring book (whether it is an adult one or a kid one), turn all distractions off, and just sit and color! it is tons of fun! not only does it bring back childhood memories and/or make you feel like a child again, but it also is super relaxing!
3 - write thoughts down/write in your journal
i love journal writing and would highly recommend it for anyone. it helps to get all of your thoughts out of your head and onto paper and it makes it easy to reflect on your day. another reason i would highly recommend journal writing is because it is so much fun to go and look back on your old journals and to see the progress you have made over the years. i tend to start the week by writing down weekly goals, and during my hour of "no-screen" i write my thoughts, a lot like a "thought journal, or whatever else i want to write. at night i write about my day and reflect back.
4 - take a nap
there are days where i feel lousy and sick and all i ant to do is lay in bed and sleep. so that's what i do! nothing wrong with that.
5 - pamper
fun fact about me before i start this part of the post - i have never been to a lush store in my life! i don't have one where i live, and everytime i go shopping in the bigger towns around me, they don't have a lush wherever we go! how lame. anyway, i love to pamper myself. run a hot bath, stick a face mask on, put bubble bath or a knockoff bath bomb in the bath, and then just lay and relax for a bit.
6 - take a walk /bike ride/etc...
my whole downstairs is wood flooring. so one of my absolute favorite things to do is put on my roller blades and ride them downstairs. it is so much fun and so relaxing! i also love to go on walks around my neighborhood. hikes? not as much my style but also a very great idea. i also love to ride my bike around as well. try it!! it is really good to get out and get some fresh air.
7 - yoga / stretching / dancing / exercising
must-have! i used to dance when i was younger, and i take a dance class at school, and it is soo much fun! i love to sit and do yoga routines i found on pinterest, or sit and stretch, or to do some exercises! great way to relax as well as stay fit!
those are all the things i do to relax and that i would recommend to all of you! if you have any other ideas, please comment them down below, or tweet, instagram, email, or facebook them to me!! (links are all on the side bar!!)
i hope you all have an amazing week!
until i post again,
