June Spotify Playlist

Happy first day of June y’all! Anyone else feel like summer came really fast? We literally just got our last snowstorm a couple months ago! Since I was in Israel for most of April, that month flew by, and May was super busy so it went quickly too! Although I am (obviously) elated that it is finally summer – any other summer babies out here? – it also means that the year is halfway over and is forcing me to reflect on the progress of my goals and intentions for the year. Truthfully, I have not accomplished as much as I would have hoped – I still don’t have my dream job, I am still living at home, I am STILL not noticing a difference from the last 9 months of weight lifting 😤 – but I also feel like I have gained a lot so far. I have made TONS…

May Spotify Playlist

It feels like I just posted my April Spotify playlist last week…I swear April was literally two seconds!! I was in Israel for most of the month, and by the time I got back, the rest of April just flew by. Anyway, I am excited for a new month with new goals and new intentions. So excited in fact, that I am dubbing it #ManifestMay! Who else is with me?? I am really trying to buckle down and get a job by the end of the month. I just need to make it happen already. What are you guys trying to manifest this month? Let me know in the comments, and obviously give my May Spotify playlist a listen!

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am flying to Israel tonight!!! After 7 long years since my Birthright trip, I am finally returning to the Holy Land. If you are not Jewish, the best way I can describe my/our relation to Israel is by saying it is like Wakanda for Jews. I KNOW that is controversial and some may argue that sentiment, but shut up. This is my blog post and I will say what I want! Anyway, I am going to stay with my cousin/best friend/other half for two weeks in Tel Aviv, where she lives right by the beach. I am fully planning on spending the entire two weeks tanning at the beach and stuffing my face with hummus, falafel and schawarma. DON’T JUDGE ME! While you are sitting at home being jealous of me, you can vibe out to this playlist. Enjoy! 💕 [spotifyplaybutton play=”spotify:user:leoladie23:playlist:2FRbtDYO5F0kLC5BMUkgVe”/]…

March Spotify Playlist

March Spotify Playlist

It’s the first day of March, and you know what that means: Spring is almost here!!! After my first winter in six years, to say I’m excited for Spring would be a huge understatement. My soul is longing for sunshine and warm days, my skin is screaming for melanin, and my Spring clothes are itching to come out and play. But what I’m most excited for are the cherry blossoms! Every Spring, DC explodes into a burst of pink trees, including the one right outside my bedroom window. It’s been years since I was here during the Spring to see the Cherry Blossom Festival, so I am just all around super hype for this month and next! What is your favorite part of March and/or Spring? Let me know in the comments below! Anyway, regardless of what this month brings, here is a playlist to vibe out to. Enjoy! 💕 [spotifyplaybutton…

Artist Spotlight: Anderson .Paak

Artist Spotlight: Anderson .Paak

  Let me first start off by saying, to call Anderson .Paak my favorite musical artist would be a blatant understatement. In fact, his music has affected my life so intensely, that I can accurately divide it into two eras: pre-AP and post-AP. Not only that, but knowledge—and fandom—of A .Paak (or bae .Paak as I prefer) has essentially become a litmus test through which I judge new friends and acquaintances. It is almost as though if you listen to his music, you are privy to a world that many are not aware of, and have become part of some secret club of next-level music. Ok, let’s back it up. I began listening to his music almost exactly two years ago (1/22/16, I’ll never forget lmao), and since then, have discovered an entire universe of music that I had never heard before. I know it sounds like I am exaggerating, which I tend…
