Yesterday, I met with a really good friend of mine.
I haven't seen her in a while and we knew it was time for a good catch up.
Like, always we picked Starbucks for our destination.
It was a perfect day for us to sit on the patio with our drinks and sweets.
Madison is one of the few friends that I can have a great, in-depth conversation with and I just love talking to her.
In the past, we've come to a conclusion that the two of us are very similar, but it wasn't until our little date yesterday that I realized we are pretty much the same person.
The only difference is our taste in men, which works out perfectly in this friendship ;)
We arrived at Starbucks at noon and talked so much that before we knew it, it was already 6 p.m.
What?!
I was both shocked and pleased.
Shocked because it didn't feel like we were there for 6 hours and pleased because our conversations were so lovely.
Our conversations varied from boys to school to One Direction to Little Mix to our blogs and YouTube Channels and finally to the future.
The future is a scary concept for me and I hate not knowing that the future has in store.
Our conversations were funny, serious, intense but most importantly INSPIRATIONAL.
When I got home, I felt so inspired and happy.
I haven't had a conversation with anybody to this extent in a while and I think finally being able to just talk about everything with someone I trust really helped my mood.
I woke up very cheerful and I can honestly say it's because of yesterday.
Madison is just so inspirational.
We have some of the same goals, goals that we really want to achieve.
Except, I do an excellent job at talking myself out of achieving those goals.
Talking to Madison made me realize that I need to stop doing that.
If I keep doing this, I'm going to be accumulating regrets and that's something I don't want.
When I'm older, I want to be able to look back on my life and be satisfied with it because I made an honest effort to achieve everything.
The point of this entire thing is to find those people who inspire you and keep them around.
Everyone needs that inspiration.
I know I need it.
It makes me happy and reminds me not to be scared.
I can't stress this enough, once you find those good friends in your life, keep them close and don't let go of them.
Having great, positive and happy people in your life will make a massive difference.
I know this and I'm not lying when I say it's true.
I wanted to show you the shirts that my friends and I made for the One Direction concert.
We got a lot of compliments on them and we are very proud with the way they turned out.
My friend and I are planning to wear them to the next concert!
We took a trip down to Michael's Craft Store to grab white v-neck t-shirts, paper that we can iron onto our shirts and something to iron onto our sleeves that represents our favourite One Direction member.
Money wise, it was a lot smarter for us to purchase paper where we create our own designs then getting iron on letters.
We started off with blank white v-necks and quickly went to work.
We decided on creating a Crazy Mofo logo for the front of the shirt.
Niall doesn't really like the term Directioner for his fans, so about a month ago he renamed us Crazy Mofos.
My friend working on designs.
The logo before we printed it.
Here's what it looked like on the paper:
On the back of the shirts we put our favourite member's last name with our favourite number.
I put Horan on the back with my favourite number 23.
Here are all of our sheets:
The finished product of my shirt:
I am extremely happy with the way they turned out!
They looked like they were professionally done and a lot of people at the concert thought so!
I will be getting my use out of this shirt! :)
On my sleeve I had a bedazzled 4 leafed clover.
My friend Stephanie had a cupcake for Harry.
My friend Emily had a bedazzled skull and bones for Zayn.

This photo was taken the night of the concert :)
We also used One Direction duct tape for bracelets and tattoos to make the night even better.
If I could relive that night, I would do it in a heart beat<3
The past week has been really busy and very exciting, I didn't have a lot of time to sit down to do a proper post.
So I have put Manicure Monday and Fancy Friday on hold for the week, but it will return this coming Monday!
On Wednesday, July 10th the most exciting thing happened.
It was not only my best friend's birthday, it was also the day where the two of us, our other friend and her sister attended the One Direction Take Me Home Concert.
In those two hours, I don't think that I could have been happier.
I didn't stop crying, smiling, dancing, screaming and fan girling the entire time.
We have been waiting for this concert to arrive since February and I couldn't believe how fast it came!
The entire concert felt like a dream.
I was convinced that when I woke up, I'd realize that they weren't in Toronto yet.
But to my disappointment, I woke up the next morning quite upset when I realized that it was over.
The show was nothing like I imagined it.
Their opening act, 5 Seconds of Summer impressed me!
I've fallen in love with them, the same way I fell in love with One Direction.
Their personalities before their music.
All four of them are very talented.
They all can sing and on top of that Ashton plays the drums and Callum, Luke and Michael can play guitar.
They have very catchy songs and I have downloaded all the ones that I could.
I got some nice shots of them, unfortunately I have none of Ashton because from the angle of our seats, I couldn't see the cheeky monkey :(
5 Seconds of Summer
Luke and Callum
Luke looks like Niall's twin...creepy!
Luke <3
Blonde-hair Michael!
I don't know why, but I really like this shot!
The crowd during Over and Over! So beautiful!
Here is their music video for my favourite song of theirs!
It's so catchy and I just love them!
So definitely check them out because they're really good and super cute!
Now how do I begin to describe One Direction...
There are no words to describe how amazing it was to see them perform live.
Their performances are endearing and 100% themselves.
Their personalities shine through every song as they sing along.
I couldn't believe they were standing in front of me!
There were multiple times throughout the concert where I had to remind myself that this is real because I was convinced it was a dream.
It was cute to see them interact with each other on stage with their adorable, cheeky grins plastered on their faces.
I loved being able to sing along with them.
They sounded great, every song was literally perfect.
To hear the screaming crowd and to watch the lights in the audience gave me goosebumps.
I can only imagine what it would be like from the stage.
The whole arena was beautiful, they were beautiful and I was a sobbing mess.
I got some nice shots, I am apologizing though because a lot of them are of Niall!
Hehe!
My baby!
Mid high-five...oh ya!
Take a close look at his face! LOL
Oh my god! Niall in a tank with a guitar...hold me!
My favourite Nouis photo...wish I got it from the front!
Here, I like to think that Niall & Louis are talking about me! ;)
ugh <3
The concert was three days ago and yet I sit here typing this post and it makes me sad.
My post concert depression is bad and I just want it to go away!
I can't believe the concert is over already!
I want them to come back, I want to see them perform again!
Their concert is 100% my favourite memory of the summer and probably the entire year!
My love for these five guys has increased so much, I didn't think it was possible!
They are such genuine guys that get to share their talent with everyone!
I envy that they get to do what they love.
But I'm happy that I'm such a big fan!
I can't wait for them to come back for the Where We Are Stadium Tour!
I will follow up with more posts about this day such as; our shirts and my best friend's birthday!
I just needed to do this one when I wouldn't be so emotional!
Leave a comment below if you have gone to the Take Me Home Tour and let me know your favourite One Direction memory!
