Daily Grind

This seemed fitting for today! I found this on Facebook after a post from the HBO show GIRLS. 

GIRLS is one of my favorite shows, not only is it extremely witty but it is chalk full of pure honesty. Lena Dunham is a wonderful writer. She is challenging society in its perception of what beautiful is and showing people that it is fine to just be yourself. You don't need to look like a supermodel to be beautiful and successful. Lena is a trailblazer for all twenty-somethings who are just trying to find there place in the world. I first started watching this show in college and I found it to be relatable then, but even more so now that I am a college graduate. 

I have been seeking a job in media PR/Film or Music for the last few months and it is so exhausting! I literally sit on the couch watching Netflix all day. Everyday I send out several resumes hoping someone will email me back with a job opportunity. While I have had some people email me back, I've never passed the initial interview. They always say come back in 3-5 years when you have some experience. It's like come on! I have to start somewhere to get that experience. I am a hard working individual who loves media and I just need someone to give me a chance to succeed. Most of all though, I really just want to leave the small town where I am currently living and spread my wings. "Magic Happens Outside Your Comfort Zone" I just need the opportunity to grow, work, meet new people and find that magic. So, I've been applying for a lot of jobs in NY which is extremely out of my comfort zone, but I think it would be a great change. Also the Knicks are there which is really cool! I love the NBA. NY seems like a good place to follow your dreams ~ 

BirchBox

BirchBox has helped me to discover so many new beauty products. Lately I have been really into natural beauty products and long lasting lipsticks. Recently, I bought some Juice Beauty products from BirchBox and also this lipstick by Mirenesse called Glossy Kiss. I love it! It is long lasting and the color is great for many skin types. I highly recommend BirchBox for anyone looking to experiment with their daily beauty routine. The subscription is $10/mo and includes a monthly box of a few beauty products selected for you based on your beauty profile. These boxes are great because it allows you to sample products then if you really like the product you can go on BirchBox.com and buy the full-size. While I have only bought a few products from them so far, I'm sure I will be buying more soon! 
I also buy many beauty products from Walgreens or CVS because specialty beauty products can be rather expensive. Here are some of my favorite products right now! 

1. CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara
2. Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Night Cream, Purifying Pore Scub and Facial Cleanser.
3. Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss 

Song of the Day

Song of the Day

This is a great song!
I love it when artists collaborate.
Olu & Sia "Exhale"

Song of the Day

Hip-Hop is a powerful outlet for people to express themselves. Today's video is Macklemore "Otherside." I really like this song because Macklemore is singing about real issues that have impacted his life. Macklemore has gained popularity through his music and inspired so many people. When this song came out he gained even more popularity and most of all respect. So many people are able to relate to Macklemore and his struggles. We all have our own problems to deal with and hearing someone else sing about their struggles helps fans not to feel alone or afraid to face them.

I will always support Macklemore's music, it's nice to see someone with such a true passion for their craft. 

Late Night Indie

URBANEARS etc.

I can't get enough music flowing through my headphones beat by beat like the blood flowing in my veins. Music is life/love. Mostly I listen to indie and hip hop but I throw in some country, dubstep, folk, reggae, classical, dance and pop every now and then. I always like to keep my selection fresh. I am always seeking out new bands to hear. I feel like you can never have too many bands to listen to. Since I listen to such a wide variety of music it is entertaining to just kick back and put my ipod on shuffle. 

I find that alot of people do not use the shuffle feature on their ipod's or music devices because they want to listen to a certain genre. I totally get it, sometimes I do the same thing but I challenge you to shuffle up your music. It's fun to see all the music you have and if your like me, memories are attached to songs. While having your music on shuffle you never know if you will have music from your past or music from the present. Either way, shuffle reminds us that music is always evolving and there is always dancing to be done.  To ensure epic listening visit
