All Work and No Play Makes Me Something, Something...
The Shining

So, we've made it to the other side of 2016, HELLO 2017!!! You do know what that means, though, right? No more days off until March! Boo! Hiss! The holiday vacation came and went with nary a breath to savor, and now here we are with nothing to look forward to for three bleak months.

So, what can you do when it never feels like you get a day off? Enjoy the small things! Take a second out to appreciate the stuff in your life. Here are a few things I plan on getting at least a little bit of enjoyment out of in between dragging myself back and forth between obligations.

NXY's Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Vault.

OMG, this is like the best lip color I have ever tried bar none. Because I go big or go home I got the vault with 24 shades. Sure at $50, it's a bit spendy, but you get a fucking RAINBOW of colors. Funky colors like sky blue, gray, or neon orange that you've always wanted to try, but couldn't quite justify buying if you had to buy a whole tube. Plus it's supplemented with enough neutral, everyday colors that you really will get a lot of use out of it. Also, the formula is well known Kylie Lip Kit dupe for a mere fraction of the cost.

Lush Bath Bombs

Bath bombs, are the, er , uh bomb? And, yeah I know, I know... a bath! How freaking exciting, right? Sure, they may not be bungee jumping exciting, but baths are great, made even greater with the addition of a bath bomb. Just drop one in a tub full of water and watch as it zooms and fizzes around, emitting super jazzy scents, all the while turning the water some funky ass shade! Also, the science behind the whole bath bomb is basically a skin-friendly version of the baking soda/vinegar volcano (replacing the vinegar with citric acid) you made in second grade, making it not only good for your skin but good for your brain as well! SCIENCE!

Mermaid Leggings

Remember when I said I was never going to buy leggings again? BIG SURPRISE!!! I lied. They are super glittery, glam cute (not to be worn in the tub with a bath bomb though) and I got them super cheap off of Amazon ( like eight bucks.) Caveat! You get what you pay for, and what these makeup for in cuteness, they are obviously lacking in the quality department. They have a rough texture, but hell maybe it's just scales!

Well, it's time to back to the grindstone, I guess. Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
