Plugged In

Ever think about how much time you spend on the computer and realize how insane it is? Most of my life is online. Between school, work, blogging, and personal time (online shopping, reading other blogs, Facebook, etc.), it seems like I'm on the computer more than I'm not. I feel like this is true for more and more people nowadays. If I had to go without my laptop, I would probably lose it. Is that sad? Maybe a little. But the Internet can be a wonderful thing, despite all the nasty things you can find on it. I mean, I use it for my education and to connect to all of you lovely people! And even though I love my daily dose of technology, I still enjoy unplugging for a bit to go outside and explore and to get out. Technology is awesome, but I still love me some sunshine and fresh air!







I admit that it's hard for me to get offline. I'm always on the computer before bed, which I've read isn't good to do. It keeps your mind awake and makes it harder to fall asleep. Maybe that's why I'm up til 2 in the morning all the time? Who knows. But I am always feeling like there are more things I have to check or do on my computer each time I think about getting off of it.







Everyone has their routines of what they check when they get up in the morning and what they check before bed. I always check my 2,347,903,280 e-mail accounts, Facebook, Blogger, etc. But then I'll see something on Yahoo News (they ALWAYS suck you in!) or I will get caught up taking 20 Buzzfeed quizzes (why?!) or I will discover a new online shop and then have to go through every page of dresses to see if there's anything good. When does it end? Well...for me it's when my eyes feel like they are going to fall out if I don't go to sleep.







Have you ever decided to get off the computer, only to get on your phone immediately after? It can't just be me who seems to be addicted to all this stuff. Sometimes I will get off the computer and then be like...I wonder what's going on on Instagram. And then I play Words With Friends. How crazy is that? I guess not so crazy nowadays when everyone is also always on their phones or laptops or tablets. Oh, us crazy kids and our Interwebz...

Anyway...I've been really into different color combinations lately, especially with brighter colors that you don't normally see together. I really like the peachy pink and purple combo. I went to my cousin's baby shower last weekend and I wore a variation of this outfit. I had worn a different, more bubblegum pink dress, but I like this shade better. I'm making a goal for the season and in general to challenge myself more with color combos and to try to get a little more crazy and creative with it. I'm a firm believer in the idea that most colors can be worn together and look good. The idea of clashing is just myth to me. ;)
