True American Explained

True American Explained

JFK FDR

My New Girl fans: I found an actual explanation of how to play their drinking game True American!!!

It’s perfect for 4th of July and I’m posting it now bc omg there’s a million rules and it’ll take me until then to learn it lol

HOUSE RULES:

-Everything said in the game is a lie, unless the person speaking knocks on wood.

-If you are caught with an empty beer for longer than one turn, you lose

-If you are caught in the lava, you lose

-You can re-enter the game by shotgunning a pawn from the other team

-Piggyback whenever you can (partners can advance together)

-TEQUILA BREAK: at any point during the game, any player can yell “WE DON’T CROSS THE BORDER, THE BORDER CROSSED US” and each player can move around, but must take a shot of tequila

-When a player yells “ALL TRASH” every player must yell “BELONGS IN THE JUNKYARD” and stop to look for empty cans. All empty cans then get thrown in the pre-determined “junk yard”

-Anytime a player yells “RUSHMORE”, every player must freeze until another player can state a line from the Phi Mu Creed

 

 

HOLY RULES. If we all study now, we can play by 4th of July. Who’s in?!

Lush Nail Bar

Lush Nail Bar

HUMANS. Nail salons are back open!

I am a DIVA when it comes to my manicures. I always always have long, coffin shaped acrylics, so my stubby quarantine hands broke my heart in half. But I’m back bb. I went to Lush Nail Bar in Raleigh and omg. Like. OMG.

I am pretty picky with what salon I go to, so I did a LOT of online research. I am the kind of person that likes to have a place and only go there. I moved here from Jacksonville and that was efffffffing impossible. I had one lady cut open almost all of my fingers then look at me and say “you bleed easy, huh”…like literal nightmare fuel. So I’m pretty skeptical when a place looks as nice as this one. When I saw their Instagram, I literally thought it was too good to be true. I looked through their tagged photos, their reviews, yelp, google, everything. They’re just ACTUALLY that good.

For appointments (bc ya know, covid) they give you a specific appointment time so no one is waiting around inside. You can’t bring anyone unless they are also getting a mani/pedi/wax. You must wear a mask. They have dividers between you and your nail tech. You wash your hands as soon as you enter.

The woman who did my nails was Q (who I think is the owner!) and she’s a beautiful angel. She was SO sweet and friendly and my nails look B O M B. She asked for a reference picture and she had actually done the ones in the photo I pulled up. My nails are literally perfect. (They look slightly different because I get a different shape but the design is exactly the same and my mind is blown). Plus the prices are so good. 10/10 I found my place.

 

I’m not being paid to say any of this, I’m just new here and exploring the city and figured I’d share my finds ♥

Cinderella Shoes

Cinderella Shoes

TikTok did me dirty again. At least the stupid soulmate drawing was only $30!!

Disney and ALDO teamed up for a line of Cinderella shoes. They’re lovely looking. Don’t get me wrong. Shout out Disney. However, I paid $117 (including shipping) for them and do I need them? NO. Will I ever wear them?! NO! Someone needs to take my credit card.

They’re clear plastic. They actually aren’t too uncomfortable though. They look a bit strange on, because they’re just clear with diamonds on the toe. The bottoms say “if the shoe fits” which is my motto in life tbh. I am typically a 6.5 and I ordered a 6. They fit EXACTLY to my foot, so if you’re a half size, I recommend going the size up. They’re sold out on the ALDO website but (shh secret pro tip) they’re in stock at Dillards! I ordered mine online and had them delivered to my house. They got here in like 3 days. 10/10 customer service for them. They come in a cute lil holographic box and look EXACTLY like they do online. They’re beautiful, I just don’t have a ball to attend anytime soon…unfortunately.

Throwback: Dream Street

Throwback: Dream Street

YA’LL THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY BLOG. I AM HEARTBROKEN. I watched a TikTok of a girl flipping through her old CD binder and I saw Dream Street. I was SO SO excited this morning. I put them on our page and on our story and on Twitter and so many people said they loved them too. Then a few hours ago, TMZ reported that Chris Trousdale has passed away from COVID 19 at the age of 34. I had the biggest crush on him and I am so incredibly sad. Rest in peace and all of my love to not only his family, but the boys in Dream Street. Boo 2020.

 

Sidenote: not being able to google a clear image of them makes me feel SO OLD. Omg.

 

^ click that it’ll play you the whole album ♥
