When it comes to the world of music, I am always 10 steps behind.
I am a podcast listener, & when I am all caught up on my podcast’s, I revert to the same playlist I have been listening to for a year straight. Just to give you a little taste of my outdatedness, a few of the songs that I play like a broken record include: “Bad Blood” by T.Swift, “What Do You Mean?” by the Biebs, & a realllll throwback- “Shoop” by Salt-N-Pepa (my karaoke song!).
SO yes, as you can clearly see, I am very unhip.
If it wasn’t for one of my cool friends who tries to keep me in the loop, I probably would have never known about Lemonade. It’s been the talk of the town for a hot minute now, & although I am a HUGE Beyonce enthusiast, I of course had no freaking clue.
I was weary at first… not sure how long I could stay engaged in an hour long music video, but Zack & I settled in & made watching it our big Saturday night plans. Raging, per usual.
I am gonna get real weird here, but it’s safe to say that hour was the most magical & life-changing thing I have seen in a while, if not ever.
I was sitting on the edge of the couch eyes glued to the screen. If you know me, you know I multi-task & always work while watching T.V. Not in this case, there could be no distractions. Zack was not even allowed to speak (which ended up not a problem since he was pretty speechless the entire time- he LOVED it!).
I literally can’t put it into words how rad the whole thing was… you seriously travel through all of Beyonce’s emotions with her & it’s pretty damn epic. Not to mention, she is stunning & a total creative genius. RIGHT?!
If you haven’t watched it, stop the press & buy it now & if you’ve already seen it, let me know your thoughts! x, E

» I have a very hard time not working & taking time to myself, so I am forcing myself to get back into reading. Right now I am reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, & it’s super inspirational, but if you guys have any great recs (any genre!)- please share! «
» I can’t w/ that tongue. Wishing this wasn’t an iPhone photo because I really want it blown up, framed, & hung above the bed. She is everything. «

I love love love it! The shoes do run a tad tight though ;). I am looking up Too Cool for School & already so in love! Thank you <3
Bitzy is seriously the cutest! I totally get it. I am even more behind than you – I haven’t seen the Beyonce album, but I’m dying to. Even though I haven’t seen it, I already have sooooo many questions! I’ve loved everything she’s done so far this year & all the statements she is making. Her Ivy Park line is killer too! Have you gotten any products from it yet? x Shannon
I LOVE Ivy Park! I don’t have anything yet, but it’s amazing!!! I am currently buying tickets, I think, to the Formation concert near me. I don’t think I can miss it.
