Last night a bunch of us all went to the Chance The Rapper show. It was entraining as hell! (The show itself & the people watching) I have to say however I was surprised. Chance put on hell of a show but a very mature one at that. He is only 20 but has the stage presents of a pro. An true artist overall. Chance played all his cuts, did covers, and works with the live band called "The Social Experiment."

And on the other hand:

There's many things I am really freaking out about. All good things.

1. Christmas Season
I am in full swing. Shopping, wrapping, decorating, and of course hanging out with love ones.

2. BEYONCE!
I am freaking out about her new album; it's amazing. I love how she was like "I have an album, what shall I do with it? I know - just drop it. Just. Drop. It." Fucking beautiful. And sorry if I sound cheesy but I the day that it came out I felt so proud to be a women. I felt so empowered.

Just been on a good one and trying to keep it going into the new year.

Since it's winter - all I need to truly wear is Timberlands.

the last 13th

Hey! Remember me? Ten days later...

I am caught up in the holiday rush. Shopping, working, christmas tree decorating, eating, sleeping, movies, eating again. I also haven't been able to style any posts because of it. But I am back. (For now)

I can believe this year is over because this felt like a year. A whole full 365. It didn't go by too fast, it didn't go by too slow, it just went by. I am of course super nostalgic this time of year (who isn't) however ready for a new chapter, a new year, a new season. The cold snap in Seattle is over but it's still bitter outside.

It being the last Friday 13th of the year I am, of course, celebrating it with Beyonce's new album. That's right, Beyonce dropped an album out of NOWHERE. Well, because she can. Because her name markets itself, the internet exists, and then her dedicated fans do that rest. I'm not a die hard Beyonce fan but I do like her! I really love the idea of her fandom. How serious people are about her. It's amazing, overwhelming, and mesmerizing. Plus the album is really good and there's a music video for every song. So for who is a massive visual person, I am loving it!

Fun fact - besides waiting to be on SNL I want to make music videos.

Anyway, I still need to be a 3 year anniversary post of this blog. Maybe I'll tie it in with all my highlights of the year. We'll see. I also need to do a Christmas List! Give you guys ideas for that special someone in your life.

if it was any simpler

It's freezing.

It's almost snowing here. Which I am not too excited about because Seattle shuts down if it even snows less than an inch. 

For the time being I've been working like crazy. Most def forgetting about personal time and self care. I am trying to get better with that. My self care includes wearing sweats, eating chocolate, and watching HBO's VEEP.

More importantly it's Christmas time! Which I love. Makes me happy to remember it's the most wonderful time of the year. Cheesy. I know.

Now more MORE importantly this blog is 3 years old! I missed the anniversary because of how busy I got with the Thanksgiving weekend but I will be writing up a be-lated birthday post soon.

Style Update - I've been loving Lorde for awhile now. She's not just a talented artist but a mother freaking beast all round. I love how simple and easy her style is. It's that "I didn't try but I did try" vibe.
