sickness

So yesterday was well, horrible. I got sick with a cold/fever and couldn't go to school. I was constantly coughing and blowing my nose. On top of that, I went down stairs to get my phone and the screen was blank white. I tried everything and it won't work. {T-Mobile Store here we come :(} I am so sorry if I missed anybodys texts or calls. Today I have to force myself to go to school. I still feel a little sick but not as bad as yesterday. Make-up work here I come :(

My new camera

I got a new camera over the weekend and I am soo excited! I've never had my own camera before. I love taking pictures and now I can put my photography board on Pinterest {greatest site ever} to use. Friends, we need to have a photo shoot! :)

Guest Post from Life of a Redhead

Todays Post is from my dear "twin" Sarah Reed. Read all about this cute girl!

hello samantha story readers!  the name is sarah, sarah reed from the life of a redhead and i'm glad to be here today.  first, i'm gonna tell you a little bit about myself.  i don't like to capitalize letters.  it almost bugs me when i do.  {unless i'm at school...}  i'm a bit of a one direction addict, i honestly think i'm going to die from the "one direction infection."  i love harry potter with all my might, mind, and strength.  it's just great.  oh. and i like to sign everything with a heart.

♥, sarah

p.s.  the life of a redhead is my main blog, but i also have.... a redhead's photos, and some blogs with friends!  the sounds of music, those {awkward} redheads, and harry potterness.

and now let's start on the questions.

What is your favorite color, animal, and song?

oh goodness.  i'd have to say.... that my favorite color is turquoise, but i'm in love with coral.  and mint, too.  ok.  favorite animal?  hmmmm... a white tiger.  definitely.   but, realistically?  something that i can own?  a rabbit.  now my favorite song.  oh wow.  i can never decide.  i love a ton of songs, but my favorite at the moment is... it will rain.  and no, not by bruno mars.  {don't get me wrong, i love him, but it's} by max schneider!  {it's a cover}.  i love him.  :D

What was {or who} your blog inspiration?

well, my two cute friends, kallee and jill, told me forever ago that they had this blog together.  i totally wanted to catch on.  and so i did!  and that's how it all got started.  you can read more here.

What is your favorite hobby?

oh gosh.  i don't know.  well, actually... it's blogging.  and giving blog makeovers.  i love it.  i seriously spend all day doing these things.  i need a life.

What are 5 fun facts about yourself?

well...

1. i got to say "play ball" at a diamondbacks game when i was 9.  {i think.  i don't really remember how old i was....}
2. if i could own a white tiger, i would, as long as it wouldn't kill me.
3. spiderman is my favorite super hero.  i don't care if you think he's lame, i think he's the best.  and i love him.  ♥  he should have been in the avengers.
4. i love disney channel.  what else is there to watch on television for a 13 year old girl?  it's ridiculous.  i do watch nick occasionally, but disney is a classic.  and some of there tv shows are pretty great.  i'm not gonna lie.
5. i like country music!  no, i'm changing that to "L♥VE."  it's great.  i like, pretty much, every other kind of music, but country is a classic of mine.  it's just amazing.

What are your top 5 blogs?

1. happiness is...:  this girl loves cats.  and she's awesome.  period.
2. her and him:  cutest. couple. ever.  EVER!!
3. because i am blonde.:  i've known this cute girl since first grade.  she posts a lot of cute things.  and she's great.
4. the asian brunette:  this girl is epic.  her posts are amazing and i love her.  {well, as a friend, obviously...}
5. my life in pink:  great friend, great person, and great blog.
6. ok, i'm gonna bend the rules a bit, but i also love this blog!!!!  {you know, the one your reading right now.}  it's great.  and she.  is a great friend and "twin."

that's all readers!  i hope to see you in the blog world soon!!  :D

Enjoy!

Hugs!

Samantha

Guest Post?

Hi friends! I was wondering if anyone wanted to do a guest post for Samantha's Story or Discover Beauty! :)
If you do, comment your name, email, and which blog. Hope to hear from you soon! :)

Ok, I'm not afraid to admit I am a total Directioner! My dear friend, Kallee
{becausekalleeisblonde.blogspot.com} just told me that she was in love with One Direction. I am so happy for her. She was the one that always made fun of me but now shes's obsessed too. Niall is without a doubt, my favorite so here are some pics...

So, I'm like part Irish. Maybe I could have a long-lost
relative or something in Ireland then I could
meet Niall and live happily ever after. <3

Even if I have to buy red TOMS and paint
them, I will have these! <3

Yep, he's a hottie. :)

Hugs!
Samantha
