1. Spring Break As of 6PM tonight, I will be on Spring Break. I have 10 days off from work and I'm so excited. I have some things I want to get done around my room and the house and I'm also going to do some shopping and as always, lots of reading. Credit: Someecards.com 2. Family Pictures by Jane Green I recently finished reading this book and I absolutely loved it. It was so good it took me only a few days to read it. It's the first book that I've read by Jane Green and I added all of her other books onto my books to be read list. Credit: Personal Photo 3. Cute Dog Video I love watching cute animal videos and I recently saw this one and it was so adorable. 4.

Here is what I received in my March Pop Sugar Must Have Box: ^What Inspired the March box^ ^Inside of information card^ Halfpops Halfpopped Popcorn in Chipotle Barbeque Retails for: $1.69 First off, I was really bummed that I received this flavor. The flavors varied and I believe some people got this flavor and others got sea salt. I would have preferred sea salt as I don't like chipotle. I gave these to my mom. Wet Brush The Squirt Retails for: $4.99 I had wanted to buy a brush for like for a while now so I was really happy to receive this. I haven't tried it out yet but I think it will be perfect for the pool, beach, and boating. Samudra Pink Pina Zip Pouch  *PopSugar Exlcusive* Retails for: $40 I would never pay $40 for this but it was a cool item to receive. The picture didn't come out that great, though. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to use this for yet but I will definitely use it for something. Gree...

1. Welcome, Spring! Today, is the first day of Spring. Although I love the warm temps, Spring is my least favorite season due to the simple fact that I'm a big allergy sufferer. Runny/itchy/red eyes, sore throat, and stuffy nose describes me to a T during the allergy season. Here's hoping that it's not too bad this year. Credit: Pinterest 2. Glee Series Finale tonight I can't believe that after investing so much time (and let's not forget money because of the awesome music) into this show throughout the seasons, tonight it all comes to an end with the two hour series finale. Lea Michele has become one of my favorite actresses and singers and before the passing of Cory Monteith, Lea & Corey were one of my favorite celebrity couples and Cory was one of my favorite actors/singers as well. While nothing can compare to the really awesome seasons of Glee (1-3), I have enjoyed all of the seasons of this show. I've brought so many songs/albums...

We spent quality time shopping, playing games, spending time with my cousin, his wife, and their kids, and eating yummy food made by my aunt. It was a really fun weekend. 2. Cute Video 3. New TV show: Secrets & Lies My mom and I started watching this show and are very hooked on it. I've always liked Ryan Phillipe as an actor and he is really great in this role. This is mystery show and you can't help but wonder what the outcome of it will be. It's on ABC on Sundays at 9PM. Credit: Pinterest 4. Baseball Season Is Back Baseball is my all time favorite sport and I'm so excited that the 2015 season is starting soon. I grew up in New York and since I've been a young girl my dad has taken me to both Mets and Yankees games so I've grown up rooting and loving both teams and that hasn't stopped. I love that baseball has given my dad and I a speci...
