From Criminal Minds to Grey's Anatomy and now American Horror Story has that special place in my heart. AHS is so unexpectedly good.

Girl Crush
I've been crushing hard on Adriana Lima this year. That girl is all kinds of hot and I wish I could spend at least a day looking like her.

Going natural. Meaning I am no longer relaxing my hair with harmful chemicals and I am now planning on growing out my hair with my natural texture. Best decision I have ever made.

10 Favorites of 2011

Show
My favorite show this year went from Criminal Minds to Grey's Anatomy. I still love, love, love Criminal Minds but Grey's Anatomy is taking the crown this year.

Favorite set from a user called scadet

Website
This is a tie between Polyvore.com and Swagbucks. I love the concept behind Polyvore and being able to use my creativity and I also love that Swagbucks.com allows me to earn points which can be redeemed for money.

Artisit/Singer
I love everything about Adele. Her music, her voice, her strength and obviously her songs. My favorite song from her is a tie between Turning Tables and Rolling in the Deep.

Activity
2011 was my year of blogging. Blogging has become a big part of my life. It is a fun, stress relieving activity for me and I truly enjoy it. I have a nail blog and this personal blog and I love both the same.

Movie
Salt. I saw this movie during the summer and I really loved it. It's so intense it's crazy! I'm really hoping for a sequel because this was my favorite movie out of all the movies I have seen this year.

Obsession
It is no secret that I have obsessed, obsessed, obsessed this year with...just about anything! But my biggest obsession has been nail polish. I have collected over 270 bottles in 11 months and I am still accumulating them now. Nail polish just makes me happy, it really does.

Magazine
I know, I know. Magazine? Remember that I am totally random and I want to keep things interesting...not the same thing every time. So anyway, Glamour magazine is my favorite magazine. I have read every single issue for almost three years now. 

Celebrity
Christian Siriano. I love him! Gay, fierce, funny, dramatic...just amazing. I actually only fell in love with him yesterday during the Project Runway season 4 marathon but I love him enough that he is on this list. That's a pretty big deal.

Item
My Snuggie! Of course. Need I say more?

Moment
My favorite moment of 2011 was the day of State when I not only remained first during my 400 in the 4x400 meter relay but I also ran my personal record of 59.9 seconds.

10 Things All Guys Should Have

Sensitivity. This is one of the things that is sexiest about a guy. Many guys aren't confident enough in their sexuality to show their feminine, sensitive side. But I like it. I love it, it's easier to trust someone when they are able to feel pain.

Romance. The perfect guy will surprise me with a home cooked meal, dressed up nice and calming beautiful music. If only...

from: askmen.com

Facial hair. This is so sexy on a guy! Why do men shave all their facial hair off? It looks so good. I don't like when it's like a bush but a nice shrubby beard is sexy on almost any guy.

Humility. It's a huge turn off when someone acts as if they are above someone else. It doesn't make you a man to have control over your girlfriend. It's okay to be wrong about things and it's okay to not have all the power in the relationship.

A Care in the World. Please do not act like you don't give a sh*t about everything around you. This goes along with sensitivity. It is OKAY to show emotion, really, it is. 

Fitted Clothes. If your boxers are showing...do.not.talk.to.me. Is that not uncomfortable anyway?

A Heart. Sometimes all it takes is a little "I'm sorry". Guys who don't admit when they are wrong get misunderstood. It's hard to admit when you are wrong and apologize but sometimes you just have to do it. For the relationship.

http://www.lose-weight-feel-great.com

Showers. Please shower at least once a day, guys! If you don't tend to get BO and you decide to skip a day here and there, fine, but just don't tell me. Because if you stank, you stank. No excuses.

Common Sense. Don't cheat on your girlfriend/wife/significant other. Seriously, it's just wrong. Why on Earth would you think it was okay? P.S. Being drunk is not a good excuse.

Everything on this list. I can't think of anything else at the moment so if you're a guy and you are reading this, please take notes. Maybe it's not all girls that agree with me, but I'm sure a large majority of them do.


Oh and by the way, a nice, toned body never hurt anybody...

10 Things I Fear

Death. I think almost everyone fears this. What will happen after I die? How will I die? Who is going to miss me? Who will be happy that I'm gone? It just scares me.

www.old-picture.com

Pregnancy. I've mentioned this in another post, a long time ago, but I really do fear being pregnant. Or maybe I just feel that when I am pregnant, I will be scared to death about birth and how painful it will be.

www.jaywashere.com

Living in the Real World. As of now, I live with my mom. Because, after all, I am 15. But graduating high school and going off to college scares me. My life will be drastically different.

www.edwebproject.org

Pain. I have an extremely low tolerance of pain. I can hardly handle a migraine! Just talking about it makes me cringe.

Throwing Up.  You're probably thinking "What?", but I am completely serious. I have never thrown up since I was a baby, so young I can't even remember what it's like. The thought of food coming up my throat and out of my mouth uncontrollably is just horrifying!

schoolnet.gov.mt

Heights. This is a pretty common fear, so I'm not going to go into it.

static.howstuffworks.com

Stairs. I always have this sick thought in the back of my head that while I am going up, or even down, the stairs, some sick bastard is going to push me and I will hurt myself or die.

Elevators. Another common fear. I can ride an elevator without crying, but it still really scares me. I mainly get scared that the elevator will fall or get stuck.

web.mac.com

Guys. I never want to be heart-broken over a guy. I never have and the fear of it happening is always going to be there. Even if I have been with that person for 5 years, even if I am in love with that person. Even if we get married and start a family...

Sitting in the Front Seat of a Car. You will never, and I mean NEVER find me sitting in the front seat of a car unless it is my mother driving or I am somehow forced to. Some people drive so fast that I am scared I'll pop out of my seat, go straight through the windshield and die.

Mascara

 Covergirl's Lash Blast Length mascara makes my eye lashes so long, it's scary!

 

Movie

My Sister's Keeper is the best movie I have seen this year.It's so touching, inspirational, and sad. It's a truly unforgettable movie.

Blog

No doubt about it, redcarpet-fashionawards.com is my favorite blog...period. I have been so addicted to it. I love her opinion about what celebrities wear, how they wear it and who designed it. Her blog is also a great way to discover new designers.

Celebrity

I wouldn't be Minty if I didn't mention Shemar Moore at least once a month on my blog. All this year I have gone on and on about his sexy body and his amazing acting skills. I hate to be one of those girls who gets obsessed with a celebrity, but when it comes to Shemar Moore, I can't help it.

 Song

Kate Voegele singing "Hallelujah" almost made me cry. Her voice is so beautiful, so breathtaking. She hits every note just right. I used to come home from school everyday and the first thing I did was listen to this song. It's just so amazing.

Nail Polish

I have so many that it's too difficult to pick a favorite. But my favorite brand has to be Nicole by OPI.

Bra

I thought I'd be really random with this one. 

My number one, favorite bra is the Emma Extreme Air Pushup Bra from Aerie. Of course this isn't something I wear everyday, but a little push up is nice. Especially when it bumps you up a whole bra size!

T.V. Show

Not only is my favorite actor, Shemar Moore, in Criminal Minds, but it's an all around amazing show. The cases get so emotional and intense. I never want to miss a minute of it! Every episode is something so new and interesting. 

Oh, and did I mention that the incredibly attractive Shemar Moore is in it?

Store

Definitely Forever21. No other store can ever compete with it. 

The affordable prices, the good quality, the great deals, the cute clothes, what more could you ask for?

Moment

The day I woke up a better, confident, happier person was one of my favorite moments in 2010.

10 Celebrities I'd Love To Meet

These are in no particular order. I couldn't put it in an order if I had to. I look up to each and every one of these people.

Justjared.com

Rihanna- I've loved Rihanna since she first came into the industry. She wasn't even big yet, but she had me at "Unfaithful". Her music is so addicting, catchy and touching. She is so beautiful. Whether she has a short pixie cut or hair down to her shoulders, I will always envy her beauty. She is also so strong. The incident with Chris Brown gave hope to everyone in this world. She made me realize that there is an end to every bad situation in life.

adamlambert.info

Adam Lambert- Something about Adam Lambert is very attractive. I love that he doesn't care what people think of him. Not only is he openly homosexual, but he is daring about his style. He seems to have so much confidence. Something that everyone needs more of. I also love his music. He has an amazing voice. I'd kill to see him in concert!

live.drjays.com

Taylor Swift- I admire Taylor Swift. She is so inspirational, gorgeous and talented. Her music is always so down to Earth and real. Something that most girls and even women can relate to. It's hard to believe that such talent came from Youtube. Shes also a big role model to me. You never see her in the tabloids, she is not "growing up too fast", and she definitely isn't another Lindsey Lohan.

creativelogocracy.blogspot.com

Lil Wayne- So Lil Wayne isn't a role model to me or anything, but I do love him. His music is so clever and catchy. I also love that he is original. He doesn't try to be like any other artist, they try to be like him. That makes him so attractive to me. Not to mention that I love his look. The dreads and the all-over-the-body tattoos drive me crazy!

cdn.crushable.com

Kate Veogele- If you aren't familiar with Kate Veogele you are missing out! Not only is she incredibly pretty, but I have never heard so much talent in my life. I have heard her sing live and I've heard her studio versions. They are almost identical. She got her start on the show One Tree Hill and ever since then I've been obsessed with her. Her voice gives me chills. I really admire the fact that she didn't have to take off her clothes or marry one of those player celebrities to get big. She is proof that true talent still exists.

celebdomain.com

Shemar Moore- This has to be the thousandth time that I have mentioned Shemar Moore on my blog. I love him! He is insanely good looking but also a really great actor. You can tell he takes his job very seriously and that he loves what he is doing. I can't get enough of him on Criminal Minds! 

I've seen many videos and interviews of him showing his real personality and I absolutely love how funny he is! He is one of those people that I would love to be friends with.

Betty White- Anytime I hear Betty White it makes me smile! She is too cute. She's an amazing actress and has been since 1939. Not to mention she is hilarious! I loved her on Saturday Night Live and that funny Super Bowl commercial. She may be 88, but her talent is good as new! She is also so beautiful. When I'm that age I hope to look as good as she does. It would be such an honor to meet Betty White. I'm hoping it happens one day.

topnews.in

Ryan Reynolds- Oh goodness, Ryan Reynolds. He's so good looking it's scary! But he also is very inspirational. Ryan Reynold's career started very slow and at one point, he even quit acting. But he got back on his feet and kept trying, I love him for that. I loved his role in "The Amityville Horror". He played his character so well. Then we got to see his funny side in "The Proposal". He is so charming and incredibly talented.

exposay.com

Tyra Banks- My biggest role model of them all is Tyra Banks. She seems so wise, confident, and independent. I love that she isn't afraid to speak the truth and that she doesn't care what people think about her. When I'm at her age, I can only hope to be that successful and wise. Her beauty shines above all. She's almost flawless! I always look to her show and website for advice and wisdom. Almost like a second Bible. If I met her, my life would be complete.

people.com

Robert Downey Jr.- Finally, we get to Robert Downey Jr. One of my favorite actors. He is so sexy, talented, funny, and successful. I have never seen someone play every single character, like he has, and portray them so well. I especially love him in action movies. Like "Iron Man".
I look up to him. I hope that someday I can be successful just like he is. He deserves all the fame that he has and all the fame that he will continue to get. I can't even begin to tell you how much it would mean to me if ever met him. I'd take him to dinner and then bring him back to my house for dessert...


Of course I also love Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Keys and many other celebrities, these are the ones I chose to list.
