Hey, hey!
I'm in a listy-type mood today, so I'm going to jot down a little list of things I want to do this winter season. I'll be at school for the next three weeks and at home for the following three, so this list will include both San Diego and L.A. related items.
Here we go!
1. Go ice skating with friends
2. Find (almost) perfect gifts for my friends and family
3. Go on morning runs
4. Save money!
5. Decorate our apartment
6. Rewatch all the Harry Potter movies
7. Take a picture with Santa
8. Read The Hobbit
9. Help someone less fortunate (not sure how to write that in a non-cheesy way, haha)
10. Keep this blog active!
11. (Re)read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
12. Cuddle
13. Make Christmas cookies and bring them to someone
14. Rewatch Love Actually
15. Work on redecorating (or continuing to decorate) my room in SD
16. Secret Santa!
17. Drink lots of Christmas drinks from Starbucks
18. Light our fireplace
19. Decorate the Christmas tree
20. Rock red lipstick
21. Go to a holiday party
That's all I can think of for now! I will probably add more soon :)

Tuesday Questionnaire!
I'm breaking the rules a bit, but I feel like doing a questionnaire!
Here we go!
1.) Mood:
Tired, but thankful. I'm home for Thanksgiving break, and this little respite could not have come at a better time! I've been so stressed for various reasons lately and I think a little home time is just what I need.
2.) What was the best part of your weekend?
I had a hell of a weekend. Not necessarily in a good way... in a progressive way, if anything. I think the best part of my weekend was realizing the answer to a problem I've been struggling to resolve for a while. The happenings of this weekend, good or bad, were enlightening.
3.) If you HAD to choose one: drastic hair color change, or drastic haircut?!
Drastic hair color change! I get bored with my hair very easily, and have been wanting to go super dark or even reddish lately. I'm a little bit of a chicken, however... let's just say I've had one too many bad hair dye experiences. They haven't quelled my desire for a change, though!
4.) Current nail polish:
Essie Fiji
5.) Favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Yams and marshmallows! Yum :)
6.) Current outfit:
A Brandy Melville oversized beige sweater (stolen from Karen... hehe) and a Brandy Melville floral skirt.

7.) Are there any TV shows you are really loving at the moment?
Yes! I've become obsessed with Downton Abbey in the past few months, I want the next season! Also, I just started watching Once Upon a Time and I'm loving it.
8.) Do you change your makeup routine with the seasons? How is it different for fall?
I don't really change my everyday at makeup at all. I love myself some winged eyeliner and rosy cheeks no matter the season! I do try to wear classic red lips more in the fall/winter seasons, though.
9.) What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Just spending it at home with the family!
10.) Weekly goals:
Relax. Don't over think (pretty much impossible for me). I'd also like to contribute somewhat to Thanksgiving dinner preparations, haha! And hopefully see as many friends as possible while I'm home.

Everything They Do is Magic.
Hey there!
So I've been thinking a lot about this blog, and while I plan to continue to express my teen angst in this context, I want "Life is a Romantic Matter" in its entirety to be something more. I want to discuss what I love, what I've bought, what I'm listening to, what's inspiring me, and so much more in addition to how I've been feeling.
I think I've started to do that with my last couple of posts, and am going to continue right now!
All right, brace yourselves, but this post is going to be none other than a fangirl rant about... One Direction's new album!
If you'd like to leave now, I understand.
I'm not ashamed to say it, I absolutely love One Direction. I love their personal styles, their accents, their smiles, and, maybe most of all, their charming antics so comparable to those of the early 1960's Beatles. And behind all my teenage girl admiration, I really think they are incredibly talented and put out some great music. Besides, anyone who knows me knows that I'm a complete anglophile, so a love for One Direction sort of follows naturally.
I've been a 1D fan since before the release of Up All Night, so I've awaiting Take Me Home anxiously! On release day, I hopped on over to Target to snag my own copy of the Deluxe Edition, and I love it. The album as a whole is catchy and vibrant and young and fun, and includes some really and truly beautiful, well-written songs. The Ed Sheeran contributions, as I'm sure we all expected, are lovely. My love for Ed parallels my love for these five boys, and any collaboration between them has my vote!
My favorites on this album are (in no particular order):
1. Heart Attack
2. Little Things
3. Over Again
4. Kiss You
5. I Would
6. Magic (Bonus Track)
Have you guys heard the album?
What do you think?

Monday Questionnaire
Okay, I'm going to try something a little different today. I feel like writing, but am not up to dashing out anything excessive or emotional, haha. So I'm borrowing from one of my favorite beauty bloggers, Allison (Amarixe), and am going to go ahead and complete this Monday questionnaire. Hope you enjoy!
1.) Mood: Confused. I have a few things I really need to figure out right now, and I am intensely indecisive, so I'm having a little trouble.
2.) What is the last song/album you purchased? I bought Taylor Swift's RED the day it came out, and I have my eye on One Direction's Take Me Home next!
3.) The best video game system ever is __________. N64! It's classic, and the only gaming system I've really had any experience with, haha.
4.) Current nail polish: OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark.
5.) How many times did you hit the snooze button this morning? Once! Well, I dismissed my alarm once, because it's a holiday and I wanted to sleep in :)
6.) Current outfit: A Brandy Melville "Paradise Cove" muscle tee and moto leggings. It's a lazy day!
7.) What is the furthest distance you've ever driven? I honestly think the farthest I've driven is the 150 miles between my home in LA and my school in San Diego. Not very impressive!
8.) You can only use one mascara for the rest of your life-- which one is it?! Maybelline The Falsies! I think that's the only mascara I've repurchased, actually.
9.) If you could have a $1000 gift card to anywhere right now, where would you choose? Target! The possibilities are endless!
10.) Weekly Goals: To take and ace my Visual Arts makeup midterm, to figure out what I want and talk to people accordingly, to go back to the gym (ha!), and to actually relax a little. Too much stress lately, haha, but that's kind of how I live my life.
Here's hoping x

On a Wednesday, in a cafe.
Loving this video so much. The prospect of beginning again, vintage styling, and Paris? What more could you want?

Summer To-Dos
Okay people! (...Person? Does anyone actually read this?)
So... things have been a little hectic lately (as I'm sure my most recent posts have suggested). I've had so much on my mind that's it been near impossible to translate it. I'm figuring things out little by little and, for the most part, I've been doing okay. I promise once things quiet down school-wise and I'm home in mid-June, I will be able to finally sit down and recount the past couple of months adequately.
But for now, the dread of finals week has me looking straight ahead, into the blissful nothingness that is the summer season.
Annnd, I've been thinking about how much I want to do this summer. So I started writing a list and, as I lack anything more significant to tell you, I'm going to share it here.
Summer To-Dos:
1. Get a tan
2. Add to (and finish) my summer reading list
3. Go to Warped Tour
4. Visit the Ventura County Fair
5. Go thrift shopping with Cheyenne and Emily in Ventura
6. Movie marathons with my brother (Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, anyone?)
7. Finally go back to the SM pier
8. Malibu beach day(s)/Howdy's at the Country Mart
9. Get back into voice lessons
10. Hike at Malibu Creek State Park
11. Write someone a letter
Well... that's considerably shorter than I expected it to be. But I will keep adding!
"We own the night and it can't be undone
We'll never forget how it feels to be young."
