Time for another playliiiiiist!

I Don't Wanna Mess It Up (Week 9)

Mess It Up - The Preatures from the album Girlhood (2017)
  • I've loved this song for years!
Be My Wife - David Bowie from the album Low (1977)
  • "Be My Wife" is one of the best David Bowie songs from the late 1970s. It feels so Eno-influenced (y'all know how I love some Brian Eno) and I am completely here for the vibes. 
Bohemian Trapsody - Logic from the album Supermarket (2019)
  • This is the title track from Supermarket and I was intrigued by the title alone. It's an overall great song and the Queen influence only makes it better. 
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin from the album Physical Graffiti (1975)
  • I had gotten back into Zeppelin at this point. I still don't get why the song "Houses of the Holy" isn't on the album Houses of the Holy (1973).
Needs - Verzache from the single Verzache (2018)
  • "Needs" was recommended on one of my Daily Mixes and I loved it.
Something To Believe In - Young the Giant from the album Home of the Strange (2016)
  • This is one of my favorite songs to exercise to. My friend Alex included it on a playlist he made for me and I have vibe with it ever since. 
ROXANNE - Arizona Zervas from the single ROXANNE (2019)
  • Yup, it's a TikTok song. I got super into TikTok at this point in time... and I can't say I'm proud. 
Crystal Dolphin - Engelwood from the album Crust FM (2017)
  • Aaaand another TikTok song. No shame!
Bambi - Prince from the album Prince (1979)
  • The first time I listened to the song, I focused on the music and fell head over heels for the rhythm, raw guitar, and falsetto of the track. I paid no mind to the lyrics. Well, the lyrics are about the narrator wanting to "turn" a lesbian by having sex with her, showing her what's like "to be loved by a man." I'm deffo not okay with the idea of lesbian women or any sexuality being "turned" to another sexuality. I still love how the song sounds, but Prince was kiiiiinda shite with this song. His music evolves throughout his career, but this one shows how even prolific musicians can start of being pretty dang problematic.
Blame It On The Girls - MIKA from the album The Boy Who Knew Too Much (2009)
  • This is a throwback from middle school where I would jam out to this song on the bus going to marching band competitions. I still love MIKA to this day and think he is one of the most underrated pop stars of our generation. You can quote me on that one. 
Valerie - Live at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, London / 2007 - Amy Winehouse from the album Back to Black: B-Sides (2007)
  • In my opinion, this is the best version of "Valerie" by Winehouse. It's raw, real, and raspy. 
Higher Love - Kygo feat. Whitney Houston from the single Higher Love (2019)
  • Whitney Houston is the queen of pop as far as I'm concerned. This mix by Kygo is excellent and brings 1980s flair to a modern pop single. 
Mamma Mia - From 'Mamma Mia!' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Meryl Streep from the soundtrack Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack (2008)
  • I added this to the list after scream-singing it with my friends in the car on the way home from Thursday night dinner. Everyone loves ABBA, aight?
Mystify - INXS from the album Kick (1987)
  • I found the Kick poster I bought years ago for the first time in forever and decided to dive deep into INXS' catalogue. So good.
End of the Line - Traveling Wilburys from the album The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 (1988)
  • The Traveling Wilburys are one of the best supergroups to ever exist. All of their songs are absolutely fantastic. 

Until next week!
Allie

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
