| Introduction | I'm Amanda. A believer in self, facing fears and that life starts at the end of your comfort zone. Fashion is my passion, not my definition. But I love it oh so much! Welcome to my blog life. |
| Interests | Matty, exercise, health, inspiration, family, songs that remind me of different places in time, laughing, contemplating about life, the ocean, trying new things, taking risks, learning (no matter how difficult it can be sometimes), spending quality time with people, exposing myself to different cultures, picnics, outdoor summer concerts, sunsets, sleeping in, getting up early with no where to be. |
| Favorite Movies | With a husband that is the ULTIMATE movie guru (I'm not joking, he knows more movies, movie lines and the like, than ANYONE I have EVER met) I have come to finally accept that movies and our thoughts about them, really say a lot about us. So, even though my list is lacking what my husband's would contain, I will say I enjoy the following movies (in no particular order): Inception Batman Begins Newsies Cast Away The Pursuit of Happyness Braveheart Gladiator Rudy FORREST GUMP (all caps just for you, Matty) The Family Stone Pirates of the Caribbean Hitch Pride and Prejudice The Family Man Mr. Deeds How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days The Little Mermaid I must stop there. I'm sure more will come to mind later, but these are the movies that have made an impression on me for some reason or another. I usually connect to movies the most when they provide some sort of perspective for what I'm going through at that particular time in my life. |
| Favorite Music | I used to put country first, but I've found that each genre has its time to be played. I like country when its summer time and I can drive with my windows down through a part of town that is somewhat barren or when I'm with my girlfriends. I love dance music when I'm feeling good about myself and need somewhere to channel my energy. I love classical music when I'm feeling particularly pensive or reflective. I love soundtracks because composing a song with musical instruments is consistently underrated and overlooked - those songs can be so inspiring. I love U2, but found that I like listening to their songs the MOST when I'm running. I don't mind pop songs with lyrics that don't make sense if the beat is fun and catchy. I don't care too much for rap or screaming music, but I like me some Jay Z and Beyonce here and there. I love finding new and undiscovered artists - even if I only like ONE of their songs. And that's that. |
| Favorite Books | Hmm. I have been asked this question more times than I can count throughout my life. I still have a hard time coming up with an answer. I really enjoy books that help me grow or progress in some way. I don't usually read books that are fictional or mysterious or romantic - I think they can be a waste of time and I'd rather read something productive that will help me improve myself or understand life better. That being said, the first book that comes to mind is Tuesdays with Morrie. Can't even remember if it's fictional or not, but it contains an incredible message. Very moving. |
