Sleigh Bells are awesome for parties and gyming! Part of this was played as the intro to last night’s episode of Girls (How good is that show?!). If you like song, this check out Kids. It’s a regular on my gym playlist!

I’d like to thank Nicole for showing Padraig this song! I’ve been listening to it sooo much. I couldn’t figure out the bit she samples in it for ages! (Thank you wiki!) Really looking forward to hearing more from her.

I went to see The Used with Pod & Philip recently. Let me tell you, they still inspire me just as much as they did when I was 17. The atmosphere was so electric. It made me want to write music again, a feeling I haven’t felt in way over a year. I think it’s about time I bought myself a new guitar! In the meantime, enjoy!

In an attempt to pull myself out of a massive rut I am posing my TiLT list early. Shhh, just go with it!
~ This week I am most thankful for Lemsip. I was absolutely smothered with a cold and it got rid of it quick sharp!
~ I’m very, VERY happy that Game of Thrones is back. How good was Bronn’s one liner this week? Brilliant.
~ I went to see The Used on Sunday night. Oh-my-gawd, best gig I’ve been to in absolutely AGES! They’re still so good and the songs they played from the new album were quite fantastic!
~ I’m nearly finished college! Gasp. The year flew by. I’m definitely not looking forward to the mountain of essays & exams I’ve to get through in the next few weeks but it’ll be worth it!
~ 100% hooked on DrawSomething! I have the drawing skills of a three year old but hey, at least I try!
…And the Little Things…

This song is so old, but one of my absolute favourite Reuben songs. I’m so very glad I got to see them live before they split. It just popped into my head earlier & I had to share it for MM.
Hope you like it!

I was feeling a little blue today & Joanne put the second video on my Facebook page. We watched the first one ages ago & immediately began quoting it at random. I love doing it when other people are around. They look at us like we’re crazy! Finding out there’s a part two has cheered me right up again! If you’ve never seen them, watch both immediately!!
Best line? “Guess why I smile a lot?”
“Why?”
“Uh… cos it’s worth it!”

So I definitely didn’t forget to do Music Monday last week. I was too busy getting my head blown off by these guys! Muchas gracias to Seán for the ticket. It was amaaazing even though I really only knew three & a half songs! There was So. Much. Fire.
Anyway, this is the first song I ever heard by them. I don’t speak German at all, it was the video that caught my attention one day on Kerrang. Be warned, it’s a bit risqué! They opened with it last week and I swear I had chills!

I’m going to try & do this every Monday from now on. Basically I’ll post a song (or songs) that’ve been stuck in my head during the previous week. It’ll give you guys some insight into my musical taste, which is quite varied at the best of times and who knows, maybe you’ll discover some gems that you hadn’t heard before!
It won’t necessarily be new releases either, just whatever I’ve been listening to a lot. Cool? Cool.
This week I have become obsessed with this song. I heard it ages ago in October when I was on a roadtrip to Belfast. I forgot about it completely until a couple of weeks ago when James (who had shown me it first – props!) tweeted that it was doing really well on iTunes.
Anyway, I love it! It’s kinda got a Sting/Police thing going on. The video is really fascinating too! Enjoy!

Dear beautiful, squishy body,
You are incredible. I am so very grateful to have you since I would look like some kind of wispy Voldemort type shit without you. I love so many things about you. Your face has the ability to be so adorably animated. Your smile goes all the way to your eyes. Your lips are so juicy! Your eyes are like sunflowers because of that awesome yellow thing they have going on. You have the kind of face that can pull off any hairstyle you desire. Personally, I like it when it’s crazy colours.
Let’s face it, you have amazing boobs! Your legs are so strong thanks to all the hard work you’ve been doing. Keep up the good eating habits! I can see you are getting smaller every day. I’m very proud of your shrinking bingo wings. Those arms are going to be big enough to do full-on push ups any day now. I’d like to take a minute to thank your feet. I’m so very glad that you guys are coordinated enough that I don’t look like a baby deer on the dancefloor!
Shoutout to your vocal chords and lungs! You guys work in harmony to give me one hell of a voice to sing with! I absolutely adore you for it. I’d also like to thank your fingers for their dexterity. I couldn’t play guitar without them!
Basically my darling, beautiful body, I love you with all my big squishy heart. I appreciate your perseverance after all the shitty diets and stress that I’ve put you through. I’m thoroughly enjoying watching you strengthen and grow more beautiful every day.
♥ Eilís xoxo

I’ve been trying my very best to stay focussed on the positive these past couple of weeks. It’s not very hard when you’ve plenty to be thankful for!
~ I really don’t know what I’d do without my family! I swear they’re actually the best support system a girl could ask for!
~ Speaking of family, my uncle reached his goal weight in Weight Watchers this week. SERIOUS motivation buzz!
~ I was down a half pound which is always awesome.
~ I’m feeling super motivated these days. I follow so many fitbloggers on Tumblr I swear I’m a walking encyclopedia of healthy living knowledge now!
~ Since I’m going to be 25 in a few weeks, I’m working on a list of “25 things to do while I’m 25″. Stay posted!
~ I’ve been watching so many movies while I procrastinate from studying… The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Artist, War Horse and The Darkest Hour are all worth seeing!
…And The Little Things…
* New perfume
* Sleeping backwards
* Homemade smoothies
* Girl time
* Lava lamps
* Taking photos
* 30 Day Shred
* Being halfway through exams!
