Dancing With The Stars- Week Six!!!! (Plus THE BEST NEWS EVER.)

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

Spring break, anyone? That was the theme of this week's Dancing with The Stars episode, and it did not disappoint! (If you want to read about the best news I've seen all week, read the bottom!)
I've just got to say, WOW, Julianne's hair is pink. Very bright! I liked it better last week...


First up, Patti and Artem! They had a quickstep, which she said was a part-two to Hotel LaBelle. Patti was so funny in her package, I love her. 
Okay, I cannot say how much I love Patti LaBelle. That dance was SO great. She did a fabulous job- even though she lost a shoe!!! She was so professional and did an amazing job. 29/40- I was so happy she got an 8!!!

I love that Tom went barefoot after that....
Nastia and Derek were up next with a Tango. Nastia looked really tired in the package, but you couldn't tell once she hit the floor! The dance was SO cool. I loved it. Whitney looked to be in awe in the stands. I got really mad at Julianne, she said they were disconnected, but I loved it. Tango was a good dance for Nastia because she's very serious and driven. On Derek's part the choreography was really cool, as usual. I also really loved the costumes this week- they were awesome! Len didn't like the choreography, which bugged me. I absolutely adored it!! Haha, Derek summed it up as "That was terrible! That sucked! That sucked! But other than that it was fabulous!" She only got 34/40 which makes me super ticked off. It was SUCH a good dance! Ugh.

Willow and Mark- haha, they found out that willow has an extra rib, which was pretty funny. "Hungry? Need a Kit Kat? Need some ribs?" It was super cute, but not her BEST dance. The ending was really cool though, and Willow's just adorable. They fact that she's only 14 still blows my mind. I didn't like that the judges were nicer in their comments to her than they were to Nastia; I liked Nastia's dance better. 34/40

Robert and Kym- oh my gosh, Kym seriously looks like a Barbie doll. She is a human Barbie. Robert was really upset by his poor scores last week. I felt bad for him. I seriously love Rovert and Kym together. Like, get married. ;) That dance was great. He's the cutest thing ever.  It was so Spring-Break adorable. The judges are in bad moods tonight though. They weren't very nice to him, but I didn't think his dance was that bad. Hahahahaha! I loved that Erin tried to get Kym and Robert to kiss. ;) they got 28/40, which I still think was low. 

Noah and Sharna- they had a rough week training. At this point in the season, everyone's stressed, and emotions are running high. They danced a rumba that was absolutely GORGEOUS. Sharna, you are a choreography genius. I loved it. So beautiful. It was so sweet how much Noah was upset saying the package made Sharna look bad. He's great. As Len put it "You're an amazing guy". I loved that. Haha, Erin- "You think that was tension? Have you ever seen Maks?" 29/40- wish that'd been higher 

Rumer and Val- I love them asking everyone what bootylicious means... Haha, that dance was good! Rumor got a little off for a second at the beginning, but she did a good job overall. The judges were kind of harsh though. "Ballroom not a bedroom!" It was a bit raunchy but I didn't think it was horrible. Val and Rumer accepted the comments quite graciously though. 32/40

Chris and Witney- I got really happy when I learned they were dancing to Hopelessly Devoted To You. I love that song!!! Haha, that package though- rhythm is not Chris's thing... I loved the theme of the dance. Witney looked so pretty and I loved the carousel. The dance wasn't great. He and Witney don't have any connection, in my opinion. My sister said he looked more like her dad LOL. The judges really liked it though, so maybe it was better in person. I just didn't like it. 31/40

I loved Melissa!! 
Tom: "Do you want any hosting tips?"
Melissa: "Yes but I just don't know anyone qualified with enough experience!"
Tom: -_-

Riker and Allison- I felt bad for Allison, being under so much pressure. Good for her though to have to guts to say they wouldn't dance to that. I really loved that dance. They did such a good job, as usual. Len was kind of odd in his comments, I didn't quite understand what he didn't like. It was a good dance! Although whoa, I wasn't expecting two tens! Gosh! It was good, but I didn't think it was THAT good. 37/40


And now, time for the team dances!!!! Agh, I love team dances so much, they're sooo cool. :)

The team captains were Nastia and Rumer. Nastia got first pick, and chose Willow. Rumer then chose Riker. Nastia chose Robert, and Rumer chose Patti. Nastia then chose Noah, and Rumer was stuck with Chris.

Nastia's team, team Yolo, was up first, and was very stressed out because Nastia couldn't rehearse until Saturday. Derek also couldn't be there until Monday morning, which was crazy. Everyone was very worried for this dance, because they hadn't had much time to rehearse. Derek has never lost a team dance yet, but I've got to say, things aren't looking good for Team Yolo.

Oh. My. Gosh. They had so little rehearsal time, but that was INCREDIBLE. They looked so great! All of the solos were so fun and athletic. To quote Len, they were "tight, together, and terrific." I can't believe that they did so well with so little practice. Nastia's solo was so great- dang that girl is flexible! Haha, Bruno cracked me up- "Willow, you are hot! ...I wasn't trying to be creepy!" Their scores were fabulous- 39/40. That's going to be hard to beat!

Next up, Team Trouble! Their dance is about a bunch of kids in detention on the last day of school. Haha, Patti cracked me up- "We are ready to destroy them!" Oh my gosh, I died when Rumer told Derek that Patti was doing backflips. He freaked out. XD That was great...

I really enjoyed Team Trouble, but I didn't like it as much as Team Yolo. They were good, but they didn't bring as much excitement or dynamic to the routine as Team Yolo did, in my opinion. Team Yolo was just more fun to watch, and it looked like more fun to dance. I've got to say, I loved seeing Miss Patti in those sequins. Love her! The judges really seemed to like them though. Not going to lie, I'm kind of praying here that they don't get 40...And, the scores...They tied! 39/40! That kind of bothers me, I've got to be honest. I didn't think that they were as good.

And now, time for elimination.

Next safe...Noah and Sharna!

Also coming back next week.....Riker and Allison!

It's now between Robert and Kym and Patti and Artem.

Going home.....Patti and Artem.

I'm so glad that Robert is safe! I'm really sad that Patti went home though. She was so much fun to watch. She should NOT have gone home before Chris. Ugh. Haha, Robert and Kym just looked so stunned, it was really funny. I'm so sad to see Patti go home though. :(


OH. MY. GOSH. OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH. GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS MERYL AND MAKS ARE COMING BACK!!!! THEY'RE COMING BACK!!! THEY. ARE. COMING. BACKKKKK!!!!!!!! MY LIFE IS MADE.  -->

Dancing With The Stars- Week 5!!!!

Wednesday, April 15, 2015

AGH!!! IT'S DISNEY WEEK!!!!!

I. Am. So. Excited. Okay, I will cease fangirling. 

Nope, I can't. Oh my gosh, the opening package was SO great!! I LOVED IT.

First up, some results.....

Robert and Kym are.....SAFE! Suzanne and Tony are....IN JEOPARDY. 

And, with that lovely start, Suzanne and Tony are up first to dance! They danced to "He's a Tramp", with a Lady and the Tramp themed dance. She had a bit of a problem in the dance when her heel caught on her dress. I felt so bad for her! The dance itself was pretty good though- really her best. 28/40

(Can I just cut in about Julianne's new hair? It's pink! I actually really like it on her. Usually I'm not a huge fan of colored hair, but she pulls it off pretty well.)

"Next up, with a quickSTEP in Time" :D Robert and Kym!! I'm so happy they got Mary Poppins! It's so great for his personality. Robert called Kym "a sexy Mary Poppins" which I thought was so funny;) AGH! They actually had Kym fly in like Mary Poppins!! Oh my gosh. That was the cutest number ever. I am in love. That song is actually on my "dance bucket list" of songs to dance to, and I'm just in love. I'm so sad though, his footwork just wasn't very good. :(:(:( I still adored it. He was just really off. *sigh* that is depressing. I wish he could have gotten higher scores. The beginning was incredible though. 24/40. That made me wince. Ugh. 

More Results...

The next couple in jeopardy is... Chris and Witney. Willow and Mark...are safe! Patti and Artem...are also in jeopardy. And, dancing next!

They're dancing a waltz to "When You Wish Upon A Star." I love that song! It's so pretty. Oh my gosh, her dress at the beginning- stunning. The dance was really sweet. Waltz is a good dance for Patti- it's slow and graceful. She couldn't do a ton because she has an injured knee, but I still really liked it. 27/40

AGH! TUESDAY RESULTS SHOWS ARE BACK!!! I. AM. FLIPPING. OUT.

Willow and Mark went next with an Alice in Wonderland themed foxtrot. OH. MY. GOSH. Mark Ballas is a flipping genius. That dance was SO cool. Mark went all-out with costumes and the theme, and I really liked the dance. The judges had a bit of criticism for her, but I really loved it. It was just so intense and awesome and agh. Loved it. I wish they hadn't gotten so much criticism, because I just didn't really see anything. They got 34/40, although I wish they'd gotten 36. Oh well.

Next up, Chris and Witney did a Hercules-themed quickstep. Okay, I though Chris was really rude to Witney in the rehearsal package. That really upset me. Witney doesn't deserve that. Ugh. Alfonso came to see them, which was really funny. I love Alfonso so much! He's so much fun. At rehearsal this morning, Chris pulled something in his calf really badly. Somehow though, he managed to dance tonight. I wish they'd danced to "I Won't Say I'm In Love", I love that song! Oh my gosh, his costume was ridiculous. XD I couldn't take him seriously in it. I'm sorry, he shouldn't have danced in a toga. O.o His dance wasn't awful, it wasn't great. I know that part of that was due to his injury but again, just not my favorite. 27/40. OKAY, HOLD ON. WHY DID HE SCORE HIGHER THAN ROBERT?? WHY, I ASK YOU, WHY???

Time for some more results!

Nastia and Derek, Sharna and Noah, Riker and Allison, and Rumer and Val.. are all safe!! :D Love all four of these couples. 

Noah and Sharna are next, with an Aladdin themed foxtrot. First off, I LOVE Aladdin. The music is great. Agh. I love that movie/musical. Anyways. The foxtrot is a hard dance for Noah, because he doesn't have one of his knees, and you really need to have a rise/fall in the foxtrot. Oh my gosh, Noah came in on a flying carpet. That was SO. COOL. And Sharna makes a great Jasmine. I.....I am speechless. That dance was absolutely adorable. It was just so sweet, so cute. Their chemistry is amazing. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Even though Noah couldn't do the rise/fall, it really was a great foxtrot. His frame was fabulous. 28/40.

Can I just say, I loved Peta's Little Mermaid dance. So cute! And she makes a good Ariel. :) I loved the crabs...those costumes were hilarious.

Up next with a Pirates of the Caribbean themed paso, we saw Riker and Allison dance. Oh my gosh, I loved Riker's Captain Jack Sparrow costume. He looked so great! Props to the hair and makeup department. OH. MY. GOSH. That was INCREDIBLE!!!! I can't even believe how good that was. I haven't always loved Allison's choreography, but that was SO great. I'm serious, go watch it on YouTube RIGHT. NOW. I cannot believe it. He's moved up to the top of my favorites. I love him. On a technical note, he did a really good job of leading her. A lot of guys struggle with that, but he was incredible. Haha, when Riker did his Jack impression with Erin, I was dying. He's so great. They got 38/40 although I have to say, I would honestly have given him a ten. It was flawless. F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S.

Inspired by The Little Mermaid, Rumer and Val were up next. Rumer was Ursula, and the dance was really cool. I love The Little Mermaid, and the dance was super intense and cool. Her outfit was kind of hilarious, and when it got to the "Don't underestimate the importance....of body language!" I was cracking up. And then she stole Val's voice and it was just great. Agh. I loved it. :) Haha, I loved Val, "My grandma is going to be very concerned.." XD They got fabulous scores, 39/40. I've got to say, I liked Riker's a bit better, but the dance was really good.

Last up, with a Frozen themed dance, Nastia and Derek. I saw online that they were going to do Frozen, and I've been super excited all week. :) I love "Love is an Open Door", which is a song I'd LOVE to dance to. OH. MY. GOSH. DEREK HOUGH, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. THAT WAS SO ADORABLE. I AM FREAKING OUT. OH MY GOSH. I literally sat there grinning like an idiot the entire time. The choreography was so amazing, and they were just so cute together. Oh my gosh. That was amazing. I loved seeing Nastia all cute and happy, it was great. I can't even describe how much I loved that. Carrie Ann said she was confused by the lip synching, which ticked me off. THAT DOESN'T MATTER. I'm so mad with their scores, they should have gotten 40. They got 38/40, which is great, but I'm quite disappointed. Ugh.

Time for the results! In jeopardy, we have Chris and Witney, Patti and Artem, and Suzanne and Tony.

The next couple who's safe is...Patti and Artem!

And, going home is....Suzanne and Tony.

I've got to say, I'll miss them. They were such a cute couple, and she's worked so hard. I wish Chris had gone home instead. I don't like how he treated Witney this week.

What did you think of this week? Who were your favorites? What did you think of the elimination? Comment below!


Tutorial Tuesday- How to Reuse Old EOS Containers!

Tuesday, April 14, 2015

Hey everybody! I haven't done a Tutorial Tuesday in forever, just because they take a bit more time to put together than I usually have haha. ;) But I actually have one to share with you all today- how to reuse your old EOS containers! I don't know about you, but I'm obsessed with EOS. Thus, I end up with a lot of empty containers. And, being the hoarder that I am, I naturally want to reuse the containers! So, here's how I do it! :)

So, first off, supplies. You're going to need an EOS that you've finished, a plastic spoon, and paper towels.
You're also going to need wire cutters, preferable pink ones. ;) These somehow didn't make it into the supplies picture above :P
So, you have your lovely, old, flat EOS. It's sad. You can't use it anymore. Why does it even exist at this point? Shouldn't it magically regenerate? I think so.
 But, since it won't be a good little lip balm and regenerate, you have to reuse it. So you take your plastic spoon and scrape the top off.
Now, it should look something like this. You should be able to see the nice little pinwheel. Hello, pinwheel!
This next step isn't really required, but I feel like it kind of makes things easier. Using the end of the spoon, poke each little triangle inwards. It will get it off of the pinwheel somewhat, which will help you.
Next, you take the wire cutters and snip each little plastic piece as close to the end as possible. (Let me just say, this picture was not easy to take. At. All.)
Aaaaand, the pinwheel is out! I'm sorry, but I just think that it's adorable. XD I still want to figure out some way to reuse the pinwheel, but I can't come up with anything. Any ideas, readers??
So now, this is what it should look like on the inside.
Okay random little tangent here, you get little EOS chunks in the shape of a tiny piece of cake or a pizza slice! Yay! I just think it's super cute. XD Moving back on track...
Next, clean out the eos REALLY WELL. You don't want it to be all slimy and greasy when you use it.
Now that it's clean, you get to decorate it!!! I just took a grey sharpie and did polka dots, but you can really do whatever you want with it. Have fun!!!
And, you're done! :D You can really use this tiny container for whatever you want. I like to use it to hold my earrings when I travel- I can keep like, twenty pairs of studs inside! I was really shocked with how spacious they are. You can use them for other things too though, they're perfect to keep some quarters inside, or to keep stocked with Advil or aspirin in your purse.

I hope that you've enjoyed this Tutorial Tuesday post! Hopefully I'll get to do more of these soon. :) If you have anything to say, leave a comment below!
