By the end of this letter one thing will be wholeheartedly true; this will be the last time I allow you to take any extra space in my heart or in my mind. The end of 2016 is days away and as I prepare myself for a fresh start, I suddenly feel the need…
Music Monday: La La Land
It’s been a few days since I got to experience the movie, La La Land and I’m still as obsessed as when I first stepped out of the movie theatre. My expectations for the movie were high and yet, it emotionally knocked it out of the park. I’ve never seen a movie that immediately gave me the…
Bruno Mars Album Review- 24k Magic Album
In honor of the Late Late Show’s Carpool Karaoke with Bruno Mars airing tonight, I thought I would take the chance to review Bruno Mar’s new album. First of all, allow me to get my indignation out of the way; 9 SONGS?!? You’re telling me, I waited 4 years for NINE songs? This doesn’t even make…
Music Monday: I Don’t Wanna Live Forever
As if 2016 wasn’t weird enough; we were recently hit with a collaboration that I never saw coming. Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik, formerly from One Direction, have come together for a song that will be featured in the Fifty Shades Darker Soundtrack. This isn’t about the terrible movie though, this is about this song that turned…
Aiming for Perfection
When I was a teenager I constantly examined my body, I pulled and poked my skin; I was completely unhappy with the way I looked. I wore layers upon layers as I tried to cover my “flaws”. I often refused to go shopping for clothes because I hated the way the dressing room mirrors would…
Music Monday: Darkness and Light
Well, it only took a few years but I’m finally a John Legend fan. I’m not quite sure why I actively avoided his music before but his latest album made it into my life and I cannot stop listening. Darkness and Light was released last week and it’s been stuck on repeat ever since. Every single song…
REVIEW: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony – Olvidame Y Pega la Vuelta
As if 2016 wasn’t emotional enough, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez have decided to release a remastered cover of Pimpinela’s “Olvidame Y Pega la Vuelta” and it has made me emotional. The original version of this song has embedded itself in my soul and I have my over-dramatic aunt who was constantly dealing with marital…
Music Monday: I Alone Have Loved You
I became a fan of Hannah Huston while watching Season 10 of The Voice; it was probably her infectious positive energy that had me gravitating towards her talent. Her talent is the kind that causes chills down the spine, her intention is always genuine and her interpretation of songs always left me awestruck. I have…
Obligatory Thanksgiving Blog Post
Every year, on this date, I sit down and take an inventory of the happiness around me. I review the past year and pick out the happiest moments, so I can share them with you guys. Now, this past year hasn’t been perfect but I definitely have plenty to be thankful for. I often forget…
Music Monday: Poet
A few months ago, I found myself in a relationship with a manipulator; I’m using the term relationship very loosely. We were kind of seeing each other and it was kind of getting serious; like I met his friends kind of serious. The point is, I have taken a lot of therapy and have done a lot…
