Stevie Wonder Changed My Life
As a kid, not a lot could hold my attention for long. I would get bored of one thing very easily, then move on to the next one. No toy or book could hold down my attention. That would probably explain why, at any given time, my room was a mess. There would be every toy I owned scattered across the floor. I loved music, but even most music could only hold my attention for a short amount of time before I’d want to be doing something else. Why I didn’t think I could listen to music while doing other things, I’m not really sure now. But then came along a musician that captivated me, soul and mind, completely: Stevie Wonder.

A Magical Requiem
It can be easy to take for granted the finished product when you see it on the screen. Making a good video can be a lot of work, and I was surprised at how hard it was to make an idea come to life.

A Disney Valentine's Day Survival Playlist
Confession Time: I love Valentine's Day. I know that for someone of my romantic categories, namely single, a virgin and no one's Valentine, this is an extremely unpopular opinion. However, think about it, the wine and chocolate are on sale at the grocery store, Netflix releases a bunch of painfully bad romcoms AND restaurants have a ton of two-for-one specials that we perpetually-single folk can benefit from. Sounds like a win to me! Maybe it's the fact that my default setting is single or that I don't have the experience of ever being in a relationship but my perspective on Valentine's Day is decidedly positive. My Valentine's Routine typically involves preparing myself dinner, washing my hair, putting on a face mask and tucking in to enjoy Disney Movies which are my guilty pleasure.

Songs That Are Actually Your Hype Women Squad
Valentine's Day: Another year, another bottle of wine and half eaten bag of shredded cheese as you morph into your sofa watching reruns of The Office while secretly hating on Jim and Pam. You debate texting your ex, or maybe opening Bumble for a couple of fresh swipes, cause maybe tonight you'll get lucky. Except that doesn't have to be the case this time around, and probably shouldn't...
