My Golden Globe Picks

I am a huge fan of film awards shows and as the list of Golden Globe nominations has recently been released, I thought I'd share who I would like to win. I have not seen all of the nominations, which is why I do not have the right to say who I think should win, but from what I have seen, these are my choices. I've also eliminated a few seconds that I did not have opinions on or hadn't seen enough of the choices. And now, my choices! Let me know your top picks in the comments :)

    Christmas Doodles!

    I posted a video last night where Liam and I draw things that were requested on Twitter. It was really fun to make and so I wanted to make sure that everyone got to see the drawings up close!
    You'll be seeing this again before the week is out, so stay tuned for this weekend ;)

    Sleep Playlist

    So if you have watched my video Sleep Strangeness, I mentioned that I created a playlist in my sleep to help me...sleep. I don't understand either. So this is that playlist. May it bring you nice dreams or something. Also, forgive me for using this blog for mostly just playlists as of late. For those of you who just read my blog, I don't know if those people exist, I'm making a video every day on my YouTube channel and blogging is just not something I have any time for with that schedule. Also, my next blog is likely going to be another playlist of my favourite Christmas music. You have been warned!
    I'll be honest, the original one had 12 or 13 songs (still impressive!), but I added a few more when I was awake the next day and don't remember which ones, so I just put the whole playlist as it is in my iTunes.

    Days till Christmas: 13 (it's after midnight of the 12th, sooo.)
    Flights taken this year: 22.
