Basically, Taco Bell’s social media team sent “Taco Bell” rings and handwritten notes to various models, YouTubers and actresses, who in turn tweeted, Instagrammed and Facebooked about the genuis gesture.
Oh, and I tweeted about this on Wednesday and they tweeted back to me, making me feel like a minor celebrity:
My Mom, sisters and I saw Les Miserables at a local theater last weekend.
The only word close enough to be sufficient to describe it? Captivating.
There is nothing like seeing a musical in person. The movie is great and the music is incredible, but to witness this play in person is a privilege. If you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing Les Mis at any local theater or even a school. It’s that good.
Footloose Zumba
Gosh darn it, who doesn’t love “Footloose” and Zumba? The perfect combination of a cheesy song and ridiculous dance moves.
“Boys Round Here” by Blake Shelton featuring Pistol Annies
Explaining how to use tobacco and a clearly necessary reference to the Dougie…obviously this is one of country music’s best songs. Ever.
In my opinion, the music video could have been so much better, but it was entertaining nonetheless. I’m sure I’ll be listening to this song all summer long.
Spending time with friends
I’ve already written about how amazing my weekend was, but I didn’t emphasize how much I truly enjoy just being with my friends (even though at times it may not seem that way. Just ask any of them)! I love that there’s the dynamic that as soon as we see each other, we go back to exactly how we used to be (for a few hours or a few days, anyway).
Yes, friends are definitely a favorite, this Friday and always!
I may or may not have had a small dance party to this song earlier this week. I just love Kimberly’s attitude!
A Disney Sing-Along Sequel
I stumbled across this video on Pinterest and I’m so glad I did! I saw this video and then watched a bunch of his other videos, and if you like Broadway or Disney, giggling and facial expressions (and bushy eyebrows), you’ll love these.
By far, the best part of this video is at :35 seconds when he lip syncs to Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove. Love me some Yzma.
I already tend to include songs in my Friday Favorites, but this week, I listened to a lot of country, so I knew these songs would become my favorites for the week!
“Summer Nights” by Rascal Flatts
Ah, an oldie but a goodie. I always start to listen to this song as soon as the snow is gone and the decent spring weather is here (but now that I’ve shared this, it will probably snow tomorrow).
The video makes me want to dance and the song just captures the essence of summer. Perfection.
“I Want Crazy” by Hunter Hayes
This song has been stuck in my head ALL WEEK. This boy can sing (although he does sort of sound like Gary LeVox from Rascal Flatts, but I’ll let that slide). I think most everyone can relate to this song.
“Highway Don’t Care” by Tim McGraw featuring Taylor Swift and Keith Urban
Such a beautiful song! I love Taylor Swift’s parts, and Keith Urban’s guitar playing is ridiculously great, as usual.
“Runnin’ Out of Air” by Love and Theft
Another song that’s been stuck in my head all week! Apparently people are arguing about whether this song is “country” or not. My opinion? Who cares what genre it is, a good song is a good song.
In continuation of my coconut obsession, I’ve been guzzling this Target brand coffee like it’s my job.
There’s an apparent but not overwhelming sweet coconut flavor and scent. Due to the price (around $7, I got it for $6 on sale) this is not a must-have item, but it’s a treat now and then!
Ho Hey from Nashville
I’m also counting Nashville as a favorite, but I still can’t get over the gorgeous voices of Rayna’s daughters.
Is it bad that I’m totally jealous of them? Darn people and their amazing voices.
Titan Player (iPad app)
Wow-where has this app been all of my iPad-owning life?
Have you ever wanted to watch YouTube videos, even when you’re offline or don’t have a wireless signal? Enter Titan Player.
It’s free, and there’s also a Pro version (99 cents). You can download 25 videos with the free version.
I love this! I’m being very selective with which videos I choose, but I may eventually spring for the Pro version (I know…big spender right here).
