The Best Songs of 2014, ya'll!

Today is a different kind of post.  I've decided to link up with Helene from Helene in Between for the best songs of 2014!  I'm also excited to say that this is my FIRST link up!  Some of you may agree with me and others may not when it comes to my opinion on the best songs of 2014, but to each their own!

I usually like to stick to a top 5 for everything that I do list wise, but since I'm super excited to link up with Helene and I love music, I will branch out and do a top 10!  Woohoo!  With out further ado, here are my top 10 best songs from 2014:

Note: Not all the songs on my top 10 got released in 2014, but I don't care for most of the songs that came out this year, so I included some songs that I'm still listening to in 2014 despite their release date.

1. Stay with me - Sam Smith
2. All of me - John Legend
3. Cool Kids - Echosmith
4. Turn Down for What - DJ Snake ft. Lil Jon
5. Rather Be - Clean Bandit
6. Summer - Calvin Harris
7. Boom Clap - Charli XCX
8. Counting Stars - OneRepublic
9. Radioactive - Imagine Dragons 
10. Happy - Pharrell Williams

If you haven't already done so, go link up with Helene @ HeleneinBetween!

My First Link-up Party -- Thirsty Thursday, Christmas Edition!

Okay, ya'll!  So, I have decided to link up with Helene @ HeleneinBetween next Thursday, December 18th, 2014 as she will be hosting 'The Best Songs of 2014' link up party!  This is my very first link up ever.  Because the link up is music related, I just had to join the party!  I also got so inspired that I have decided to host my first, very own link up party!  So here goes nothing!

With Christmas being nearly less than two weeks away, I thought I would give everyone fair notice that I'm hosting a Christmas link up party!  I understand that many of you choose to stay away from all forms of social media during the holidays out of respect and strict reservation for family and friends which is completely understandable.  I, too, will most likely refrain from blogging on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!  However, I'm here to tell you that I will be hosting this particular link up party from December 23rd through the 26th, so that everyone who wishes to participate has a chance to link up.

Most people have the entire week of Christmas off.  However, some of us aren't that lucky and just have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off.  Despite whichever applies to you, I'm sure we will all share one thing in common -- getting "turnt" up or if you're someone like me, "white girl wasted" on Christmas in a classy way of course.  Yes, please.  No matter how turnt up or white girl wasted you are, always remain as classy as possible.

So, because Christmas day falls on a Thursday, the theme of this link up could NOT be more appropriate -- "Thirsty Thursday -- Christmas Edition".  We want to know what you will be drinking this holiday season!  So, link it up and let us know!

A friendly reminder:  While drinking, please be safe!  If you are under the influence, either find a designated driver or park your bum for the night!  Keep yourself & others safe!  Don't drink and drive.  Always, ALWAYS drink responsibly.  While we are under the influence, we believe that many things are possible like believing that we are invincible and can fly or drink and drive.  I assure you that the reality is the complete opposite of what you think while under the influence.  Besides, only Santa's reindeer can fly, obviously.  Oh, well, and birds too. . .but not you!
