A Belated New Year/Greetings

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This is how I'm starting off my posts now: cool font as title, and then I proceed as usual. GOOD MORNING! Or good afternoon, good night, good evening, good etc, depends on what time you are reading this. I want to wish you a Happy New Year! Well, a belated one, anyways!

So...of course, we need a New Year's poll! Not just boring resolutions you're not going to keep, a POLL! 

New Year's Poll: what do you like to do to ring in the New Year? Oh, this sentence is reminding me of something I did last year for New Years. I put a fireworks GIF and said "let's ring in the New Year ALRIGHT!" I can't believe I've had a blog for ONE YEAR now! Oh and back to the poll: what do you like to do to ring in the New Year?

1. Sit on the couch and watch a New Year's show on TV. 

2. Go to tons of parties and party the night away!

3. Host a good dinner with family and friends.

Number 1 is definitely me. Number 2 is obviously Mama Salve, and 3 is probably Mom. 

Oh, and since it wouldn't be Layla's Picks without a pick...what is your favourite movie playing in theaters right now? 

Mine is Pitch Perfect 3.
