'Four Weddings and a Funeral'
Inspired by the 1994 movie starring Hugh Grant Four Weddings and a Funeral is a new dramedy on Hulu created by Mindy Kaling. The show is centered around a group of diverse friends who come together for a London wedding much like in the movie. The show takes place in London and in the last few weeks premiered their first three episodes. At first I wasn't attracted to the show, and I just categorized it as just another Hulu original to scroll past, but then I clicked it, and now I'm waiting for the next episode. To real the audience in the pilot starts off like the movie, with Maya (played by Nathalie Emmanuel,) waking up in distress and leaving her married boyfriend and boss's apartment in a soaking wet bra. After seeing that you have no choice, but to watch the whole episode.

Female TV Characters with the Best Style
When it comes to a character on a TV show or movie, there are many ways they express to us who they are. Obvious ways being dialogue, actions, and who they surround themselves with, but my favorite as someone who loves fashion is the way the characters dress. Clothing is a key component of world building and character building, whether the character only wears hoodies or plaid skirts. Of course, as someone who is attracted to a certain aesthetic, the characters with the best clothing are usually women for me who don't just shop at Forever 21. To me, the TV shows that I find have the best dressed female characters are the ones that don't realistically dress their characters. Meaning, in the show, the girl who lives in a middle-class household doesn't dress like she has money, but a stylist who dresses her every morning. As a TV fanatic, I've compiled a list of the best dressed females on the screen who will surely give you outfit inspiration or ideas to make a Pinterest board.

Zendaya’s Tommy Hilfiger Collaboration Is Everything
It’s no secret that 22 year old actress Zendaya is a fashion icon, from her crimson red thigh highs at Paris fashion week to her metallic dress at the 2016 Met Gala. Zendaya also recently appeared on the cover of Vogue, where she looked stunning and talked about her new TV show. Zendaya is an amazing actress with a beautiful singing voice that she recently showcased on “All For Us,” which is a collaboration with British singer Labrith for her TV series Euphoria on HBO. But she is also a fashion icon, and now the new global women’s ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger. Tommy Hilfiger released his final collection of TommyxGigi with model Gigi Hadid back in February of 2018 who, for a while, was the face of the brand. Tommy Hilfiger went on to announce that he is collaborating with Zendaya on a capsule collection in October of 2018. The collection was released this spring.

The 6th episode of the HBO series Euphoria starring Zendaya was centered around Mckay. Mckay is one of only character who's not in high school and a freshmen in college. In previous episodes McKay forms a relationship with Cassie and they even go as far as saying I love you towards each other. Their relationship seems cute and adorable, but McKay has some insecurities about being with such an experienced girl as Cassie. This episode takes place on Halloween and at a Halloween party where everyone is in costume figuratively and literally. For more information regarding previous episodes and the overall series please check out my other articles where I go more in depth.

Best Looks Inspired by Icons
Inspiration and imitation is one of the biggest parts of fashion. From being young and trying to dress like your favorite pop star to wearing the craziest thing and starting a new trend. These days it may be a meme or a retweet, but celebrities are always inspiring us on the red carpet whether they are dressing to the theme of the Met Gala or about to receive a career changing award. The red carpet is the place where we see celebrities express themselves as they smolder at the paparazzi. We see these looks and they inspire us because that's what the world of fabrics and couture does. Fashion can't help but be copied and innovated and that's why not all of the looks on the red carpet are completely original and instead paying tribute to another celebrity and their style.

Short Story: Best Feeling at First Sight
It’s lunch time at Harftford high school and the cafeteria is crowded with loud hungry students. In the center of the circle tables, peppy junior Maya Lathel sits in her cheerleading uniform amongst the cheerleaders and football players. Classic American high school dynamic that never really changes.

Healthier Food Alternatives
As we get older, we put more and more foods back on the shelfs after reading the nutrition facts. Some of us may be lucky and have metabolisms like Usain Bolt, but the rest of us watch what we eat more than TV. Over the years, being healthy has actually grown more popular; and therefore, food companies have taken advantage of this and added light and low fat to make you feel better. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but low fat means more preservatives and added sugars. Moreover, what I’m trying to say is, with so many different diets and foods, it's hard to know what’s healthy and what’s the opposite. Over the past year, I’ve cleaned up my eating; and with that, one of the big things that helped me was switching out my foods with healthier options. I am nowhere near an expert on nutrition facts, and these are just recommendations if you want to follow them. That is up to you. Later on I will do a sequel to this article about the healthiest places to eat when going out.

'Good Trouble' Review
Good Trouble is a TV dramedy on Freeform that is a spin off of the critically acclaimed show The Fosters. In the show, sisters Callie (played by Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (played by Cierra Ramirez) move to Los Angeles to start their lives after college. Maia Mitchell and Ciera Ramirez are actually executive producers of the show, and best friends in real life. Callie is an aspiring lawyer while Mariana dreams of being an engineer. The first season of the show was released in the beginning of this year and this past week, they just released the last episode of their second season. Both seasons can be streamed on Hulu, and there are a total of 25 episodes. The show has yet to be renewed for a third season, but I would certainly count on it.

Great YouTubers for Every Genre
Recently I did an article on the best fitness YouTubers and I loved writing it. I love YouTube, and there are many other great creators in different categories that I enjoy watching. I’ve definitely been in that place where I looked up something on YouTube and found a video, but didn’t enjoy the person. When hearing information, oftentimes whether we fully digest and understand the information is based on who says it, and that goes for entertainment as well. Just to warn you, I am a girl so these bloggers are geared more towards to women. There are many different genres on YouTube so I obviously won’t be listing every one, just the ones I watch.
