Why I'm Addicted To HGTV's 'Fixer Upper'
HGTV

I have always been drawn to HGTV. I love the idea of redesigning an old broken house and restoring it to its natural beauty once again. It wasn't until I started watching "Fixer Upper" that I saw my design interests in every house they remodeled.

  • Joanna and Chip Gaines make a beautiful couple. My heart melts when they look at each other, especially when Chip calls her Jo Jo. It is a great feeling watching two people who truly love each other work together to transform houses and peoples' lives.

  • Their children are adorable. It's awesome knowing that they value family. I love that they teach their children work ethic at a young age. Every couple of episodes, they are taking care of flowers or the animals, and it's fun to watch them grow.

  • Their farm is gorgeous. What's even better is that they bought it as a "Fixer Upper" and transformed it into what it is today, proving that hard work does pay off.

  • Chip is hilarious. There's not an episode where I fail to laugh at him either buying random objects at the antique store, eating a bug on a house tour, or coming home with dogs and chickens.

  • Joanna is my design hero. I could see myself living in any house she designs. I'll never get tired of watching her add subway tiles and shiplap into a renovation. It's crazy to think she has no background in design either.

  • They are strong in their faith and they aren't afraid to say it. Joanna and Chip Gaines are two of the most humble and caring people on television today.

  • Waco, Texas looks like a great southern town. I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't move to Waco. Jo and Chip Gaines definitely put Waco, Texas back on a map as far as great towns to visit.

  • Magnolia Market looks like heaven. It is not only a place to buy Joanna-Gaines-inspired decor but a place that represents the Gaines family as a whole.

  • The Bed and Breakfast looks like a welcoming home away from home. My family is already looking at dates in which we can book to stay there. I loved it on the episode they showed it to a family, but they ended up not going with it. I'm glad to see its transformation into something "Fixer Upper" fans can enjoy.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
