January/February Music Favorites

things I've loved
this past month:

MUSIC...
On YouTube, 'favorite videos' that creators put together after each month always fascinate me because I can gain a deeper insight into what they have been loving and cherishing.




Things that they deem worthy to share with their own audience.



Things that reveal more emphasis on objects and art in our world, and how we interact with those specific, but nevertheless, valuable object(s).



I love watching and attentively consuming the work of creatives that I've been following ever since I've put out content on this blog and on other social media platforms.

Favorites allow me to explore new albums, songs, food, and gain new insights into the lifestyle choices of other influencers. I genuinely enjoy gaining inspiration to integrate other people's favorites into my own life and creating progressive change in my own habits.



Here's my own spin on a favorites video, in a blog post. What I've been listening to on Spotify for the months of January and February 2018, and what I have been singing and dancing along to (with love).


Celine Dion - The Colour Of My Love


The perfect '90's album to sing your heart out to. A classic.

Shania Twain - The Woman In Me

Ever since I saw Shania Twain on The Voice at the beginning of 2017, she has been mesmerizing me with her natural songwriting talent, beauty, and enduring courageousness while following her on Instagram and YouTube. The Woman In Me is a perfect example of pop mixed with country. If you had been one of the friends that I've been texting my song and video recommendations to continuously, you would've known that "(If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here!" will forever be my favorite track on this album.

LeAnn Rimes - You Light Up My Life

LeAnn Rimes' voice is a beauty in itself. Since I've really been digging '90's country lately, these songs help me get through a slow week. "How Do I Live" is a track that you've probably also heard a gazillion times over the radio; the intensity of the melody within this song cannot be paralleled.

Chloe Kohanski - The Complete Season 13 Collection (The Voice Performance)

I originally began following Chloe Kohanski on Season 13 of The Voice with her audition of the cover of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. Kohanski had continually set the bar higher with artistry picked out of the '80's with a modern and fresh twist. Kohanski's gravelly voice suits the tough and heart-wrenching attitude of songs that include "Time After Time," "Total Eclipse Of The Heart," and "I Want To Know What Love Is." Kohanski once described her choice of genre as an artist as "psychedelic rock," and I definitely can agree with that.

Mariah Carey - Emotions

To see a playlist of my favorite Mariah Carey songs, click here to be linked to the Spotify playlist. Overall, Mariah is the absolute skinny legend. The ferocity of the track "Emotions" can be heard at the start of the album with the perfect intensity, and this ferocity is carried on throughout the upbeat tune of "You're So Cold" and yearning tone of "Till the End of Time," which are my favorite tracks off this album.

                                                                 more throwback photos from last August. Thank you to Kacee for modeling In part one of the photo shoot here , the red wall was one of my favorite places to shoot at because of how lucky we were to have wonderful lighting that day.  However, I did my best to control the harsh lighting from the mid-afternoon sun and had to mess around while on manual settings on my camera. A middle-aged man in the first location told us that we couldn't be at hanging out around these stairs, but we got enough shots in time to move on to the next location. The second location was behind a closed pancake restaurant. The third - in Portugal. Thank you Kacee for the large and medium fries. ;)  ...

Diary 20 Something (Diary 24)

Here are some clips from my journal from this + last week. (plus some selfies,  this is my diary, right? ) I hope that you find some inspiration from this and try journaling yourself in the not-so-near future ! :) My mind always goes on these weird trails when I'm tired in the evening towards the end of the night, so I thought I would include these thought trails, once again, in a blog post.  (hope that my grammar isn't too hard to understand b/c I usually write freely in my journal.) TEXT FORM (with edits): Over the past three ~ five years I've discovered little bit(s) and pieces of myself here and there. These bits and pieces were almost like Legos, some small, some big, some with palm trees, some of different people in different costumes, some very colorful - some sore if you happened to be walking across your room and stepped on one unknowingly. However, in these times it feels as though these pieces, or Legos, you might say, are finally f...

Tim's Mirror Selfies 3

style Photos taken by me using my phone camera: TIM'S MIRROR SELFIES This is another new segment on my blog which I call "Tim's Mirror Selfies." Sometimes photoshoots are a little too much work and mean dedicating my entire Saturday morning taking pictures for my  Androgynous Look of the Week  series. Setting up a tripod, taking the pictures by myself with the timer function,  getting the pictures taken at the right time when the lighting is not too light or dark —the list goes on and on. In my opinion, planning outfits beforehand limits how much I share with you guys the clothes that I wear on a daily basis. The time when I'm rushing out of the door to get ready for school or over the weekend shows my true, authentic style when I don't have any time to think to myself the intricate details of each outfit.
