Earsnacks: Delicious Random Assortment

It's earsnack time, friends!! 
I've been listening to the same six songs for the last three days in a row. Just six songs, repetitively and I have yet to get sick of them.

I heard this one Sunday while shopping at +Free People in the Americana at Brand. It was perfection. And now I can't stop listening to it. I constantly think how perfect this song would be for a yoga flow.

Heard this one while perusing images of pretty menses at +Gilly Hicks. I don't know what it is about this song. It makes me want to dance, and I already really want to dance, so now I really really want to dance!

I keep meaning to dig deeper in to Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. She/they have been on my list for something ridiculous like five years, but I always get distracted by other music. Then I hear a song like this one (say, while shopping at +J.Crew and searching for images of black people...are FLOTUS and The Movie Star the only African Americans that shop at J.Crew?)

The first time I heard this song I didn't like it. The super-simple low brass melody wasn't doing it for me. But I can't ignore that beat. It's just too fun. It makes me want to dance, and I already really want to dance, so now I really really REALLY want to dance!

<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F78840718"></iframe>

This song is just cute. Adorable lyrics, catchy tune, hand-clappin' groove= recipe for success. 

<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F75503064"></iframe>

You know another recipe for success? Naming a song 'Chocolate'. I'll automatically be a fan. Melodically this song remains me of early John Mayer. The distinct British accent on top is pretty groovy. It makes me wanna dance, and I already want to dance, so now I...you get it, right? 

Enjoy these (completely random) earsnacks!

Last Week in Pix/ 2x2

Happy Sunday! This week was relatively quiet until Thursday rolled around. On Thursday my world sort of exploded. I entered a Twitter contest with DigitalLA for tickets to the advanced screening of the final Twilight movie. Immediately after entering, I got a text from Mike inviting me to a party thrown by the project he had been working on all week. I accepted, thinking there was no way I would win the Twitter contest.  Joke's on me. I won the contest and needed to be downtown for the movie at 5:30pm. The party was at 9pm. I rolled out of bed that morning, so I looked like luke warm crud. Trust me, it was bad. My plan had been to go home, nap, shower then head out to Hollywood for the party. But with this movie there wouldn't be time for that.  I started my trek downtown from the valley at 4:20. An hour and ten minutes would be enough time, right?  WRONG. Meet LA traffic. I did not make it by 5:30. I was thoroughly upset, called Chris (who had also won e...

How To Survive Valentine's Day

Apparently no one has decided to cancel Valentine's Day this year. If it were up to me I would curl up in bed and avoid all social media. But, considering I have an office job as a social media community manager that's a tad difficult. In an effort to not be bitter and sad about having no date/flowers/chocolate/diamonds on this 'special' day, why not show a bunch of love to yourself? (I'm writing to myself as much as I'm writing to you, loves).  Break A Sweat A good work out never hurt anyone, and it's always great to show some love to your muscles. Last night I started my own self love (oh, grow up!) with a sweet late night yoga class taught by Emily at Yoga Shelter in Studio City. Her pace is fast, the music was bumpin and the temperature in the room was upwards of 80. Woo! Dress Up Why not put on an outfit that makes you feel confident and festive? I decided on my pink romper with black hearts from H&M  (purchased last year) with ...

I'm tired of trying to explain

I went on a trip home to Oklahoma last week. I brought Jersey Mike for his first real visit to the state and his first time meeting my friends. It was fantastic and fun. I'd love to tell you all about it. But I can't right now. I can't focus on anything right now.  Upon returning to Los Angeles, I logged onto Twitter and started seeing headlines about the Charleston shooting. I immediately turned it off. At first I felt wrong about doing it. At first I felt like I should face it head-on, get angry, put on my activist hat and get to work.  But I didn't. I couldn't do it.  I'd just gotten home from being surrounded by love. Yes, being back in Oklahoma I heard conversations filled with intolerance. I needed to point out and shut down a few comments that were insensitive and just plain rude. That's something I've gotten used to when visiting home. I'm surrounded by liberals and hippies here in Los Angeles. We are a melting pot of colors,...
