This decision is more important than who will be president

My wonderfully talented and witty brother came up with some awesome names for our blog. I'd like everyone to let me know what their favorite is and I'll go with that one. I was going to stick with what I've got but Joe gave me such awesome ideas, I decided to have everyone help me decide.

That's what makes you beautiful

This week for mutual we taught the Young Women how to dance. I've chaperoned one of the stake dances before and it was a sad sight. No one was dancing, everyone just stood around singing the words to the songs to their friends. Did I do that when I was 14?...probably. So that's why we wanted to teach them how to do some simple dances. We want them to actually DANCE when they go to the youth dances.

It was a really fun night. I got in there and learned the dances with them, and most of them were lame, but that's okay. One of my Mia Maids was the teacher, so you can bet things got a little crazy.

But by the end of the night everyone was in such a good mood, they decided to turn on one last song and go crazy

Can you see the fruits of our labor? Me neither. That's okay, they had fun and that's what matters.

Ander was walking out of the room and I was begging him to bust some moves for the girls, but he told me he didn't do it on command... he just had to feel it. What a bum.

Madison Smith was the first girl that ran up to the camera, and the one who said I was her favorite. That warmed my little heart. Next was Jordan Roberts, then Jordan Freeze, and last was Mary Kelley. Incidentally, these girls are all Mia Maids of mine.

After this song was over I had a great conversation with two of my Mia Maids, Jordan and Mary. Jordan and Mary are both 14 years old.

Jordan: "Mary, can you believe that I've actually met some people who don't know who One Direction is? Ugh! That's like, so crazy huh?"

Old Sister Meine: "Uh... I don't know who...O-o-one Direction is..."

Jordan and Mary gape at me.

Jordan: "YOU don't know who ONE DIRECTION is??? Sister Meine!!!"

Old Sister Meine: "Well... I don't exactly listen to your music Jordan... I'm ten years older than you."

more gaping

Mary: "I bought my tickets to go see them. I'm so excited!!!!"

Jordan: "You're going to see them!? I'm like, so jealous!!"

Really Old Sister Meine: "So... One Direction is to you guys who N'Sync was to me, right?"

even more gaping

Mary: "Sister Meine, you don't understand. I've NEVER been this obsessed with a band. EVER."

I wasn't like that at 14, was I?

Oh wait. Yes. Yes I sure was. And it was glorious.

Say "no" to romance novels

This trilogy was by far the WORST trilogy of books I have ever read in my life. Romance novels are terrible, terrible pieces of work. Don't ever pick them up. Ever...

Although you're probably wondering why I read all three? My friends, this is a good question that I frequently asked myself while reading these books.

The main character, Christian Grey, was a very interesting person. Lots of money, dark past, yadda yadda yadda. The reason I finished the series was to see whether this man's life had a happy ending or not. I wanted him to be happy because I want everyone to be happy. I wanted to know that this man could find some sort of relief from the demons that plagued him. I'm pleased to say that the ending was happy, but at such a cost to my psyche!!!

I wanted to find out why this man had such demons and why he was so sad. But there were too many sexual scenes, too many bad words, and the books were very poorly written.

I will admit that I was smitten with Grey, but then I remind myself: SELF! THESE BOOKS ARE NOT REAL. No relationship is that way. No person thinks that way. That could never happen.

Another interesting thing... this book gave me bad feelings. I felt like I was peeping on someone else's relationship and I felt quite guilty. Only when I got down on my knees and prayed did I realize why I had these bad feelings: these books do not come from my Heavenly Father. Marriage, family, and intimacy are sacred and should not be taken lightly. This book threw them around as if they were nothing, and I hated that.

So... needless to say, I will never read anything classified as a "romance" ever again. That is all.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS!?!?

My jaw was on the floor. What a performance!!!

Beats Susan Boyle, I'd say.

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but I kept forgetting. We were able to make this small video about The Lash Lounge and put it on yelp.com. Take a little look-see!! Click here
