Y'all know what it is!

Cup of Ambition (Week 4)

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton from the album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs (1980)
  • I was still listening to the Dolly podcast at this point, and I still urge you all to give it a listen. 
Lipstick Stains - Brasko feat. Saint Pressure from the album SEXDREAMSUPERSTAR (2019)
  • The chorus of this banger was in my head all week.
Me & You Together Song - The 1975 from the single Me & You Together Song (2020)
  • The 1975 dropped this tune that week and I had to be a good superfan and give it a listen or a hundred. It's such an adorable song with 1990s boy band vibes.
End of the Day - One Direction from the album Made in the A.M. (Deluxe Edition) (2015)
  • I also got in a One Direction mood that week.
Hopeless - Halsey feat. Cashmere Cat from the album hopeless fountain kingdom (2017)
  • I adore Halsey's vocals in this song and especially love the line "you know the truth hurts but secrets kill." 
You Ain't Woman Enough - Loretta Lynn from the album You Ain't Woman Enough (1966)
  • This was featured in the Dolly podcast as well. Loretta Lynn is another country queen we don't deserve.
Lovely Day (Bonus Track) - alt-J from the album This is All Yours (2017)
  • I found this cover of "Lovely Day" by accident and is quirky yet beautiful. alt-J never disappoint.
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes from the compilation First Collection 2006-2009 (2018)
  • I hadn't listened to Fleet Foxes in a hot minute and got the urge to listen to this song for the first time in a while.
Ticket to Ride - The Beatles from the album Help! (1965)
  • While I was in a general Beatles mood, this song was also mentioned in - you guessed it - the Dolly podcast.
The Face of the Nation - John Mellencamp from the album Scarecrow (1985)
  • This song is entirely too relevant in today's political climate. I love John Mellencamp a lot.
She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals from the album The Raw & The Cooked (1988)
  • I scream-sang this in my car at a red light and the passenger of the car to my right stared me down. I have no regrets.
Ever Since New York - Harry Styles from the album Harry Styles (2018)
  • The haunting yet calming vocals of this song are beautiful. Fine Line is excellent but Harry's debut will always have a special place in my heart.
High Horse - Kacey Musgraves from the album Golden Hour (2018)
  • Spacey Kacey is a goddess. 
Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin from the album In Through the Out Door (1979)
  • It rained a lot that week (well, that month) and this song always reminds me to dance in the rain even when its sucky.
Sunlight - Hozier from the album Wasteland, Baby! (2019)
  • My friend Maya is a mega Hozier fan and showed this song to me. He's a magnificent musician to say the least!

This was a weird bunch, but aren't they all?

Product Review: Dermactin-TS Pore Refining Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Happy Friday, my dudes! I hope this week was good to all of you and I pray for the weekend to be even better. This Friday, I am presenting to you my first-ever product review on this blog! I love giving my unsolicited advice and opinions on things, soooooo I hope to drop some nuggets of knowledge on y'all. I'd love to review products you suggest, too! This week's product is a Pore Refining Exfoliating Facial Scrub from the brand Dermactin-TS . I have never used this brand before but have seen it at every Sally Beauty store I have visited (and that's a lot of stores- trust me). I snagged this product from the clearance section at my local Sally's and unfortunately, I think this product is being discontinued (or at least being removed from Sally Beauty stores). I have found that it is still being sold online, so if you are interested in trying the product, you can snag it from the intrawebs. As I said earlier, I purchased this on clearance for just over $5, but

Music Monday: SEXDREAMSUPERSTAR by Brasko - Album Review

Happy Monday, beautiful people! Let's get this week started with some sunshine and happiness (or storm clouds and lightning if ya thrive in the darkness). I wanted to kick off my first Music Monday with a BANG, so hold on to your seats, folks. Today, I am talking about glam pop musician Brasko 's new album SEXDREAMSUPERSTAR . Y'all, I am in LOVE with this record and have been blasting it since its release. My sweet friend Carmela introduced me to Brasko and I was immediately hooked to his Prince-esque lyrics and glam rock sound. I became a die-hard Braskhoe (best fan name, I swear) when I saw his iconic look that can only be described as the love child of Elton John, Marc Bolan, and David Bowie. I mean COME ON. Look at him! SLAY THAT MCFREAKING LOOK!  Anyway, SEXDREAMSUPERSTAR is Brasko's first album after releasing a string of singles from the album, most notably " Vertigo ," " Static ," " Milk Chocolate (feat. Nai Br.XX) ,&quo

You Foolish (Week 3) - 2020 Weekly Playlists

-

Heeeere we go, folks. You Foolish (Week 3) Watch Me - Jaden from the album SYRE (2017) Jaden seems obnoxious to some, but "Watch Me" is an awesome song. I love the power and bass of this song. Set Fire To The Rain -  Adele from the album 21 (2011) I feel like a grandmother because I just now realized how old song this song is. Adele is always a classic and this song is proof of her timelessness! Crazy Ones -  John Mellencamp from the album Whenever We Wanted  (1991) I did my senior seminar paper on John Mellencamp and I adore this song of his. It's one of mine and my dad's favorite songs. His birthday was this week and this one is on there for him. Shot in the Dark -  Ozzy Osbourne from the album The Ultimate Sin  (1986) I don't care what anyone says, 1980s Ozzy is fantastic. There's nothing like 1980s metal. Suspicious Minds -  Elvis Presley from the album From Elvis in Memphis (1969) This is on here for my wonderful par
