The Best Websites for Buying Concert Ticket♡


                     


It doesn't matter if you're dying to see a Broadway show, your favorite band, or a sporting event. No matter what kind of show you want to see, their are sites that provide tickets for the experience. Of course, everything comes with its price. Since you want to get the best deals that you can, you should make a point to check out each one of the sites on this list before you actually make your purchase

                           ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

♡ TICKET MASTER
Ticketmaster.com is probably the first site that pops into your mind when you want to see a concert. It sells tickets for shows, for circuses, for sporting events, for stand-up comedians, and for anything else you could ever want a ticket got. The site even lets you sign up for email alerts for specific singers and bands, so you can be notified as soon as tickets for the people you love go on sale.

♡ STUB HUB
Stubhub.com lets you do more than buy tickets. It also allows you to sell tickets. If you have a friend that is always going to concerts and festivals, then you can even buy them a gif card for the site. It will be sent right to their email, so it makes for the perfect last minute gift.

♡ LIVE NATION
Livenation.com asks you to enter a city name and then will provide you with a list of bands that are playing near you. Once in a while, it will even provide you with bonus items that you can add to your cart. For instance, if you try to buy Van Hale tickets, the site will ask you if you want to add a "Live Tokyo Dome In Concert Album & Classic Logo Tee" to your order.

♡ AEG LIVE
Aeglive.com will help you search for events, concerts, and even festivals. It'll alert you about the hottest things in town, so you won't have to worry about missing out on a fun experience. The site even lets you search through categories like "classical," "family events," and "electronic."

♡ SEAT GEEK
Seatgeek.com will ask you to type in what artist, event, or venue you're looking for. Even if there aren't any tickets available for the band or artist at that time, the site will recommend people that are similar, so you can still go somewhere to have a great time.

♡ TICKET LODGE
Like most of these other sites, ticketlodge.com will let you look through tickets for concerts, sporting events, and Broadway shows. However, it also has a blog that contains some fascinating articles about upcoming tours. It's a great place to get all your music news.

♡ TICKET CITY
Even though ticketcity.com caters more to sport fans than music fans, it still contains tickets for some great concerts. If you want to buy tickets to see Taylor Swift and tickets for a hockey game for your boyfriend at the same time, then this site will take care of all of your needs. Whenever you want to buy tickets for a concert, make sure you shop around to get the best deals that you can. As long as the concert isn't in danger of selling out anytime soon, there's no reason to buy tickets without seeing what seats and prices you can get elsewhere.

                             ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thanks for reading, hoped this help you guys. Just because school has started doesn't mean that summer has ended. Which ticket website do you trust the most? Let me know the comments below♡

Apps I Use For School ♡




                   



Ever since I got my IPad for my birthday I have fun some awesome and some bad apps throughout the years. But today I am going to show all the apps that I am currently using right now for college.

Oh and by the way I have the white IPad mini (If you were wondering)  (:


                           ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 


These are all of the apps that I used for when I am studying, taking notes, or just reading. I have first IBooks, Wattpad, ITunesU, Calculator, StudyBlue, Around Me, Quizlet, Notes, Dropbox, Drive, Docs, Kindle, Reminders, Evernote, The HW App. ♡

The first app is IBooks. The only time I use this app is when I am bored at home, or when I am waiting for my next class to start. Its always good to read, whenever you get the chance ♡

The second app is called Wattpad. This app personally is one of my favorites to read books and pass your time on. People on here write there own fictional stories and some of them are just amazing!! The only one I am reading right now it's called, "Follow me Back" since a great book so far. ♡

The third app is the calculator app. Since the app doesn't come with a calculator already installed in it, I had to go and find one. Out of all the ones I have tried this is the best because you can literally write any formula out and it will always give an answer. ♡

The fourth app is called StudyBlue. All you do on is this app is just make flashcards for any class that your are taking. This app is sooooo helpful to me because I learn better through flashcards. I have been using this app since high school (and still using it (: ♡)

The fifth app is called Quizlet, this app is so helpful if you don't want to make flashcards by hand, you can literally find any flashcards on here that people have created, for every subject there is. ♡

The sixth app is just the notes app that comes with the IPad, right now I just use it for blogging stuff. ♡

The seventh app is called Dropbox. All of my professors use dropbox, so they sent me notes, study guides, practice tests, and etc. ♡

The eight app is called Google Drive. One of my professor this year is trying out google drive with us to see if its any good or not. But this is a sharing app between professors and classmates. (I prefer dropbox though :P)♡

The ninth app is called Google Docs. Along with google drive, you have to download google docs for you to write your papers and share it with your professors or classmates. (Not a bad app) ♡

The tenth app is called Kindle. Instead of caring such heavy books to school and hurting my back. I use kindle to download all of my textbooks that I need for the semester. All I do is just rent them from Amazon (or you could buy them too) and it directly downloads on my Kindle. Greatest thing in the world! ♡

The eleventh app is just the reminders that comes with the IPad. I just use this to remind myself when I have to do my homework, or when something important I have to do. ♡

The twelve app is called Evernote. I personally don't like writing my notes on notebooks, or loose paper, because I ALWAYS end up losing them. So during class I just write all of my notes in this app and backup it on my computer also, so I don't ever have to lose them again... Haha ♡

And the last app is called My HW App. Here is where I get everything that is due, from homework too tests, to essays, etc. Anything to remind myself, "Hey it's due tomorrow, did you finish?!?" ♡

                            ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 

Those are all of the apps that I use for college. They have helped me throughout my high school career, and know they are helping me even more in my 2nd year of college. Let me know in the comments below if you are going to use any of these apps in this school year. ♡

What's on My IPhone 5c♡




I have always been a lover of those videos on YouTube entitled "What's on My IPhone" I don't know why, but I feel like you get to know a lot of new apps and some information about the holder of the phone♡

Today I will share with you what I have on my baby IPhone 5c. I have the blue IPhone 5c it has been with me for about a year now, and I can't handle but love it more and more everyday...

                                ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡       


This is my lockscreen.... I love anything to with anime ♡♡♡

This is my homescreen... I like to keep it blank so I can
see my wallpaper. On the bottom I have Messages, Calendar, Camera, and IFunny.

In my second page I have my most used apps which are, Facebook (which is private), Instagram (monicagirl16), Snapchat (monicagirl16), Twitter (monicagirl16), Bloglovin (HipsterPlease), YouTube, Urban Outfitters, We Heart It (monicagirl16), Bandsintown, Photos, CocoPPa, Spotify (riveram612), Safari, Weather, Astrology, and Settings.♡
Make sure to follow me on all of them (:

On my third and last page I have my Hello Kitty clock, Yik Yak, Depop, and Shazam.The rest of the apps are in folders.

The first folder includes my YouTube and Blogging stuff ♡
The second folder has all of the apps that come with the phone and you can't rid of (which kinda sucks) =_=

In the third folder I have my Facebook messenger (which is private), kik (monicagirl18), FML,
PayPal, eBay, and Qriket (which is a fun little game to earn money). ♡ In the fourth folder I have
my editing apps ♡ If you would like to see "How I edit my pictures" leave me down below a comment...

In the fifth folder I have my two workout apps, which are awesome by the way ♡ In the sixth folder I have some random apps, the only ones I use of my the Wanelo app and The Hunt, which are two awesome apps to search for clothes. ♡

In my seventh folder I have two music apps that come with the phone (which I don't use) ♡ And in my last folder I have allwomenstalk, line, pinterest, tinder, and myAT&T.

               ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I hoped you loved taking a closer look at my life and phone ♡ If there are apps that I need to have I would love to hear your feedback ♡

How To Be a Tumblr Girl♡

                  

Hello Everyone! How was your day today? ♡ Mine was amazing today, but anyways since I have done a blog on how to be hipster. I decide to one on to be a tumblr girl.

         ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

There are 10 steps to becoming the perfect tumblr girl.
(But remember these are steps I came up with myself, they might work for you, they might not)

♡ Be a social media "butterfly"
   Be up to date on all of the new and cool apps. don't be afraid to experiment on apps even if they are awful. if someone blogs/posts about a new app, try it out. Who knows? It may be your new favorite!

♡ Have an interesting style and wardrobe
  Try and find your unique style in fashion. Tumblr girls always have an awesome style! Most of the time, they aren't very original so please think outside of the box girl! Don't see any styles that look like you? Make a new one! Once again, don't be afraid to experiment!

♡ Take quality pictures and invest in a good camera
  Even if you take pictures on your back IPhone camera, edit your pictures well, but not super amateur looking. I see way too many amateur pictures on Instagram and Facebook, and trust me, it does not make you look like a good editor! Invest in great camera apps and if you can, invest in a camera! Most tumblr girls use Canon Rebels or Nikons. Or they use Magichour or VSCOcam.

♡ Learn the lingo (language)
  I remember when I tried my very first Instagram tumblr girl account. I didn't know ANY of the language! People would comment, "F4F" and I really didn't know what to say to that.. Here is some of the basic lingo (language)

♡ TUMBLR GIRL LANGUAGE♡
  F4F = follow for follow
  S4S = shoutout for shoutout
  ilysm = I love you so much ♡
  cwd = comment when done

♡ Personality and Confidence
  You know what makes a good tumblr girl? Her personality! Laugh a lot, bat your eyelashes, and be kind! Do not talk about other girls, they may talk about you as well! Confidence. If you are in middle or high school, the odds are that many other people will not your new personality/tumblr girl radiance (if you will). They may be jealous, or just may not think it is common. Be confident in your actions and don't be afraid to be yourself. Be proud of who you are, and don't be afraid to stick up for yourself!♡

♡ Making Friends
  Making friends on Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Vine, anything, is really easy. All you have to do is kik them or connect with in some way and BOOM! Instafriend! Haha :) If your having problems, complement them on something and they may return the favor. You could also start a promo which is where you give each other shoutouts and f4f. This is a really easy way to gain friends.

♡ How to gain followers
  On my last blog I wrote to you guys about on how to gain followers on Instagram. But gaining followers takes a really long time. You have to be constantly posting, S4Sing? and follow for following. Comment on people's pictures/blogs if they will follow you if you follow them. Getting followers takes a really long time, so be very very very very patient.

♡ Which pictures should I take?
  Tumblr girls typically take pictures of random crap. Some take pics of stuffed animals, quotes, books, cameras, outfits, boots, ANYTHING. Find some random junk and just take a ton of pictures. Odds are, your followers will like it.

♡ Music
  Have a good sense in music. Tumblr girls tend to have an awesome music sense! Most of them are into indie or indie pop. Some examples if indie pop are: Imagine Dragons, Mumford and Sons, Lorde, Coldplay, One Republic.

♡ Hair
  Experiment with hairstyles that look good on you. Most of the time they wear there's straight, curly, or in a ponytail/bun.

          ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡   

Thank You for reading, I hope this helped you guys! Remember to be yourself, and experiment experiment experiment!

How to Gain More Followers on Insta♡

           



If there’s one thing on social media that makes everyone happy, it’s getting more likes and more followers.

So you’ve created an Instagram account. You’re excited about sharing some awesome photos or videos that you’ve taken that reflect your brand (whether it’s your personal brand, or managing the account for your business), and you are enthusiastic about earning some love from fellow Instagram users. After connecting your Instagram and Facebook accounts, you’ve seen your following grow—maybe you have around a hundred or so followers, but then it plateaus. It’s around this point in your Instagram game that you might think, “Man, this is impossible.”

Well, today, I have some good news. We’ll go over a few pretty simple ways to get your Instagram account some major cred in the form of likes and followers.

                               ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

 
Pick a Clear Focus For Your Account
  Before you do anything else, you should pick a clear focus for you Instagram account. If your goal is to showcase your best photography, you should stick to it and never post poor quality photos of you hanging out with friends. The people who want to see your artistic photos probably don’t want to see the sandwich you ate for lunch today.

Make Your Account Look Great
  When you’ve picked a clear focus for your account (such as sharing your best iPhone photos) you want to do everything you can to make your account look great. While an interesting description and a cool profile photo can help, it’s far more important that your photo feed looks great, because that’s what people will look at when they make a decision about following you.

Leverage Your Existing Channels
  When your Instagram profile finally looks great, it’s time to let the world know about it, and the easiest way to get started is to leverage your existing channels and platforms. If you go to instagram.com/username you’ll get a direct link to your Instagram profile, which you can then share on Facebook, Twitter, your blog and other platforms you may have.

Get in Touch With Other Instagram Users
  After people from your existing network are already following you, it’s time to reach out to more people who will potentially be interested in seeing your photos. Forget about posting a hundred hashtags, asking for shutouts, trading likes for likes or follows for follows. None of that works. I got a shoutout from an account with 150K followers and it only got me about 10 new followers.
The best way to get someone’s attention on Instagram is to leave a nice and thoughtful comment on one of their photos. Don’t just say “nice” or “great photo”, say something thoughtful or explain why you like that photo. When you leave a comment like that, that person will usually be happy to also check out your photos and potentially follow you.

Thank You for reading I hope this tips help you in "famous" on Instagram. Have fun and don't forget to smile♡♡

How to Become an Instagram Suggested User♡


Let me go ahead and spoil this for you. I don’t know exactly HOW I got on the Suggested User list.

But, I can tell you that I was working for a long time on intentionally creating my Instagram feed. I made very specific & strategic decisions that, in my opinion, probably helped get me noticed.♡

Instead of pretending like I know how the heck I got chosen, instead, I’ll tell you the steps I took leading up to being chosen. What happened when I got the word from Insta & what happened over the course of my time on the ever exclusive, ever elusive Suggested User list.♡

When I first started Instagram, I didn’t know about branding. I didn’t know how the platform worked. I didn’t use hashtags or try & make connections with companies. Oh & my pictures were horrible. There was that.

Also, I do not have a huge social media following on any other platform. It’s not like I had 80k Facebook followers I could herd over to Instagram. Or even 2k, for that matter. I essentially started out like everyone else (without a platform) – a nobody with no followers. And not a nobody in the sense that I was worthless, but… you know what I mean. It was a level playing field.♡

Instagram will put someone on a suggested user list after looking at a couple of things.
    ♡The quality of the images you post.
    ♡How much do you engage with others and contribute to the community?
    ♡How frequently do you post?
    ♡How many famous instagrammers are following you?
    ♡Are you following a certain theme in your images?
    ♡How badly do you want it?

Before I was put on the Suggested User list I felt like I’d paved a path where a steady, consistent influx of people were following me & I had been gaining by an average of 1k new followers a month. I had a system & knew what worked.

When I got picked up on Jan 15 I received both an email & a DM in the app. It basically told me I was on a ‘dynamic list that highlights some of the top community members’ & they hoped that during my time as a Suggested User I would be able to show other users ‘not only beautiful photographs & videos but also how to be an awesome community member’.

So what good things happened? Well, more followers of course. More likes, more engagement. More opportunities to connect with people I wanted to inspire or brands that I wanted to collaborate with. My biggest cheerleaders were cheering even louder, sending me tons of well wishes & congrats & lots of – We can’t believe your feed is blowing up, we’re all so proud! 

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thank You for reading I hope this tips help you in becoming an Instagram suggested user, oh and make you make the best when becoming a suggested user because you only get two week. Have fun and don't forget to smile♡♡

Follow My Blog on Bloglovin'

  


Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hello guys ♡ Just wanted to say something really quick ♡ I just made a new Bloglovin account today (so exciting). You guys should go follow me on there, it would mean the world to me  ♡ I also just posted my new blog on "How to be a Hipster". That's it guys and girls, have a good night and have fun tomorrow at school for you guys that have it.♡

How to be a Hipster♡


♡♡
Ever wonder what a hipster really means? Well here are some examples that I had found on Urban Dictionary:

♡♡An unwashed and ungroomed person who hates corporations and everything mainstream, yet still buys Apple products.

♡♡A 20 something white, upper-middle class suburban transplant to any gentrifying neighborhood in any major city, but Brooklyn, NY in particular. Disheveled, hand-me-down appearance to present the image that they are not a slave to trends or fashions(ha!) They typically wear thick, Andy Warhol-like glasses (whether they need them or not), unshaven, unkept shaggy hair and retro Converse sneakers sometimes with no laces. The term is often used as a pejorative considering a "hipster" detests being called a "hipster."

See now to me that is totally incorrect. The real definition of hipster is, "Usually a young person who is trendy, stylish, someone who dresses like a tomboy and a girly girl at the same time. Someone whos clothes are very similar to their boyfriend/guy friend."

Know you know the real definition of hipster, now here are some ways to become a hipster:

1. Wear Glasses You Don't Need
     Glasses are a must for the hipster look, so if you have good vision, get some with regular lenses. The more eclectic the frames, the better. Think bright colors!

2. Instagram Everything
    Hipsters love taking photographs and sharing them. Get lots of artistic, surreal shots of common items and load them into Instagram daily.

3. Wear a Flannel Shirt
    Flannel shirts rank right up there with skinny jeans and vintage clothes. Get yours from thrift stores or any store you would like if you can.

4. Think Frugal
    Hipsters are all about reusing and being thrifty. Buy everything you can secondhand, from a bike to clothing and music. That way you'll have more cash to donate to worthy causes. (This one is only if you like thrift stores, you can still go to regular stores and find some hipster outfits).

5. Keep Your Hair Casual
   Hipsters can't be bothered with beauty salons and fancy hairstyles. The more natural looking the better. They have more important things to do, such as taking pictures and reading.

6. Watch Indie Films
   Indie and foreign films are the way to go if you're a hipster. Sure there are some cool-looking mainstream films, but that's what everyone else watches. But remember you don't have to if you don't like them.

7. Lay the Irony on Thick
  Hipsters use sarcasm and irony so often it's like their first language. Make sure you sigh, smirk, or roll your eyes so that everyone knows you aren't serious.

8. Use the Lingo
  Make sure that you use key hipster phrases when speaking to both hipsters and non-hipsters. Important ones to know are 'I liked them before they were cool' and 'that band is so boring.'

9. Read Hipster Blogs
   The ultimate hipster is one who knows everything before it's the next big thing. So read plenty of hipster blogs to stay on top of the latest news. Like mine (:

10. Refuse to Be Defined
  You're probably going to get some flak from your non-hipster friends if you have any. Stay true to your beliefs and don't let anyone label you in ways that don't fit.

                                                       ♡♡

Thank You for reading I hope this tips help you in becoming a hipster someday or even sooner, oh and have a fun school year being a new and improved hipster this year♡♡
