to wordpress or NOT to wordpress?

     Is blogger driving anyone else completely insane!?!? I'm about ready to toss my laptop violently across the room!! This is ridiculous!! Everything that could go wrong while I'm trying to post or edit my blog, happens! And I'm getting extremely frustrated! It's been like this literally all dayyyy!!!! i hate to to say it, but i think i'm over blogger.
     I'm seriously considering switching over to wordpress unless blogger gets its act together! I've read other posts from other bloggers facing the same question, like Kaelahbee. When I first heard of people wanting to switch, I though they were speaking nonsense, because I'd never had the problems they were having. But i guess i spoke too soon : / because every time I try to post today and even the past few days, blogger was acting all sorts of crazy!
     I think I'm just gonna take the big leap and switch to wordpress tonight!! I know its crazy because I don't even really know how to use wordpress that well but i'm hoping its better than what I've been dealing with! I don't know though, maybe i should wait on blogger to get itself together again?

What are your thoughts?

Are you having any issues with blogger lately? Thinking about switching to Wordpress? Rant and Rave all you want by leaving some comments!

boston bound, I WISH!

I'm a little bitter today. My youngest sister is boston bound (!!!!) with her school for a class trip! She'll be there till tomorrow night, and i've never been this much of a jelly sandwich(i.e. jealous person lol) in my whole life!
I went on the same trip with the same school when i was 13, and it was hands down the best "mini-vacation" i've ever had! It was also the first time I'd been away from my family and i loved it!! (Even if it was only for two days.) I loved everything Boston had to offer; the people, the food, the attractions, and just the atmosphere as a whole! I love big citites, hence the gratefulness i have for living soooo close to the big apple, and Boston was just beautiful! (My love for Boston is very uncommon for a Jersey girl lol but what can I say Boston stole my heart!!) I haven't been there is almost 10 years!!!! And i miss it so much! My mom and i were actually considering going up there while my sister was there just because my mom has never been and she really wants to go. Although i pretty positive she won't enjoy it, because she hates big cities with a firey passion! hahaha no exaggeration there either lol she's absolutely hates big cities haha but it'd be fun to see how she'd respond to the atmosphere of Boston haha but alas, we did not go, because my mom runs her own business and it would have been impossible to pry her away from her computer lol
I was soo tempted to just drive up there by myself if i had too! Especially this week and next, because the Boston Bruins are in the Stanley Cup Finals and being the huge hockey fan that i am, I would love to be in the center of all that hockey mania!! But with absolutely no money to fund my spontaneous trip, i am stuck in jersey : / That's just one of the downsides to unemployment, i guess! I'm determined to get my self back to Boston, come hell or high water! So I'm actually planning a some weekend trip, maybe three or four days, for the end of summer! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! I really can't wait to go back, especially because I'm 21 now so I'll be able to grab a beer at the famous, CHEERS bar!!!! I wanted to go there soo badly when I went with my school in 7th grade, but it wasn't on our agenda. Yet , my very lucky sister is having lunch there tomorrow! ughhhhhh, just adding some more jelly to that sandwich!
I hope she has a really good time being there with her friends! My trip to Boston is still my favorite trip of all time! And i'm sickly obsessed with Disney World, and I still say Boston was the best trip ever! There's literally soo much to do there between historical attractions to just exploring the little stuff that Bean Town has to offer! If you haven't been to Boston, I HIGHLY recommend you take visit there! you'll definitely fall in love with the city! i promise!! Just thinking about going back there makes me feel like a five year old waiting for christmas morning! haha So yeah, if you haven't been, please take my word for it and give it a visit! You won't regret it!



Have you ever been to beautiful city of Boston? Or are you lucky enough to call Boston, home? What's your favorite thing about Boston? Please share, I'd love to hear from others who share the same love for Boston that I do!!

pea. ess. let's go Bruins!! only 3 more games left till the Cup is yours!!

name change.. again!

     I'm really sorry about being so annoying with these name change posts! I swear I never meant to intentionally go through all these blog name changes! But I just didn't really feel like the previous two blog titles really related what my blog is about. So I finally changed it to one that i am positive is going to stick!! 
    The NEW title for my blog is: "my (Garden State) of mind" I absolutely love it!! I really wanted a name that described me and what my blog is all about so that anyone who stumbles upon it has some sort of idea as to what my blog has to offer. So obviously being a jersey girl, and living in new jersey since before i was born lol I knew that this title was perfect for me! (Sorry, again, for this very messy post by the way! I'm in a bit of a hurry and I just really wanted to explain the name change for everyone before i forgot too!)
     This is it! the name that will stay! I'm soo excited for this! I was looking over my blog right after i finalized all the changes that go along with  the title change, and I have to say I have never loved/been more proud of my blog before in my life! lol that's a little extreme sounding, but its so true! I can't wait to keep you all updated on my everyday nonsense here in Jersey!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Nair Milk & Honey Roll On Wax

     Alright ladies (and gents?), we all have the same issues to deal with when it comes to maintaining silky smooth legs. How do we get them to last!? And how do we get the process to be less grueling!? Well I absolutely hate shaving my legs! Its super annoying and takes foreverrrrrrr!!! Ughh! I'm getting angry just thinking about it! And the fact that we have to not only deal with nicks and razor burn, but also having to repeat the grueling process multiple times a week is irksome to say the least!

Nair Milk & Honey
Roll On Wax

     Thanks to the very smart people at Nair, I've found the solution to all my issues with shaving, and maybe some of yours! The Nair Milk & Honey Roll On Wax is ingenious!! It's a waxing kit, obvs. and it includes waxing stripes and the container has a roll on device attached to it for super easy application! All you have to do it microwave the wax for 10-15 seconds, roll on the wax, apply a stripe on top, pull and voíla! you have silkly smooth skin!!

     I was never a big fan of waxing in the past, especially my legs because I've heard it can be quite painful! But I was desperate for something that would make me less aggravated when it came to maintaining hairless and smooth skin! And honestly, girl to girl, the pain was seriously not bad at all! I thought it would be a hundred times worse but it was just a tiny, stinging feeling.
     If you haven't tried waxing before, Nair Milk & Honey Roll On Wax is absolutely the best beginners kit, because of how easy it is to use. One of the best parts is that it lasts up to 8 weeks!! That had me sold right away! Also, it's rather reasonable in price; costing about 9 bucks! Way less than any salon will offer!

    

  My rating: MUST_HAVE!!!!!

 I highly suggest using Nair Milk & Honey Roll On Wax. Its the best thing since sliced bread lol. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the aggravation by trying this product out! You'll never resort back to shaving ever again! Seriously, this stuff is amazing!
