Public Service Announcement

Hello, friends!

I have decided to start preparing my body for Jordan's time. What does that mean? It means I will stay up until 2 pm tomorrow until I get on the plane, and then I will sleep. Jordan is seven hours ahead so it will really be like I am going to bed at 9 pm. Yes, I do hate myself- in case you were wondering. So, instead of doing that thing humans do called sleep, I'm going to take this time to make an announcement pertaining to the near future of AddSomeFinessa.

Me in the airport...but paler.

OKAY, OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT!

In my marketing class at BYU, we learned about the concept of a brand champion. You may also know this by the name "brand whore" (this is the difference between Utah and the rest of the country) A brand champion is someone who loves everything a certain brand produces merely because it is part of that brand. For example, someone who is an Apple brand champion probably has the iPad, iPhone, Macbook, Apple TV, etc.

So, I feel like I use my blog solely to vent and complain about the world. But let's be real, the world is giving me a lot of reasons to complain...and there I go again. BUT I FEEL LIKE I never give you a taste of what I love. You think I'm passionate about things I hate? Wait until you hear me talk about what I love!! Because, yes! I am guilty of being a brand whore! (That's about as slutty as it gets, people.)

So for the next few months, I will be doing a new segment on my blog about my brand championality/osity/ness. It won't be the sole content of my blog, but probably scattered between posts about traveling around Jordan and crying over my Arabic textbook.

How will you know if this post is part of my new segment? Because it has a title, duh!

I call it: "I'm all about that (insert word here)". But I regret to inform you that no, no, I am NOT all about that bass.

It's about 3:30 am.....so I think I'll wait a solid 6 hours to post this.

Marriage, Tornadoes, Chocolate, and Other Buzzwords

I’m surprised Child Protective Services hasn’t taken custody of my blog yet, given how much I neglect it. But you know what they say, absent parents make for interesting adults. (Wow, that was kind of dark.) Let’s lighten things up. I got married last month! Some of you already know this, but to others, this is breaking news. I think it’s because Facebook didn’t say I was married until a few days ago. And if it’s not on Facebook, it never happened. Existential social media discussions aside, this post is a comprehensive update of my life today. You’ll get the inside scoop on my current whereabouts, my favorite podcasts, desired pastimes–everything you need to know to hack my passwords. I know, I know, that’s what journals are for. But most days I can barely read my own handwriting. And if I want my post-cursive posterity to know me in this Year of the Dog, I must leave an online record. GRANESSABAMA Granessabama is the name of this new chapter in my life and pot

Help Wanted

When you think about what it would like to be rich, REALLY rich, you probably think about rolling out in your new Maserati or turning a guest room into a second closet, OR even the fact that you could literally roll around in dollar bills- $100 DOLLAR BILLS. While this is all fine and good and sufficiently over-the-top, what I want the most is an assistant. (Let's face it, you're usually making bank if you have an assistant.) Now, why do I need an assistant? Why do I want one? My reasons shall be revealed. (Speaking of Maserati, that's part of the title of one of my sister's songs. Check it out.) https://soundcloud.com/alyce-marie/maserati-body-alyce-marie-ft 1. I'm bad with breakfast. I like eating, I really do. But during the school year, I rarely eat breakfast...or lunch. At night, I'm too tired to prepare a lunch. In the morning, I usually wake up 15 minutes before I leave for school/seminary, so...still no time. I just want an assistant to

How To Have a Better Spring Break Than Mine

I was looking forward to spring break. Unfortunately, my week-long break was sub-par, comparable to George Bush's phonetic skills or Lindsay Lohan's acting career- not TERRIBLE, but not very good either. And who's fault is that? Mine! (I am pointing to myself.) It was a COMPLETE manifestation of my senioritis . And maybe your break wasn't very good either. Thus, I will give you some tips about how to better enjoy your future spring breaks. 1. Make a Plan. An entire week gives you a TON of time, so don't let it hit you without setting some goals. I say you set three types of goals: academic, social, and personal. ACADEMIC: You might have a project due soon; you don't have to finish it over spring break, but you can start researching. Maybe you can finish reading a book or apply for a scholarship. SOCIAL: take advantage of this free time and hang out with your friends. You now have entire days rather than just a few ho
