SplashHouse Vs. Coachella?

From the best music, scene and great drinks to random encounters and no sleep, SplashHouse was the time of my life. 

Some of you may be familiar with producers like Flume, Chromeo, A-Trak and Oliver Heldens. Well I got to watch them perform for three straight days and all for less than a hundred bucks. Not only did I see them tear up the turn tables, I got to meet them and party with them too. The whole thing was surreal, the music was too good, I've never danced more in my life. If you weren't there, you have no damn clue what a pool party is like when done the right way, this was my experience.

I went to SplashHouse expecting to have a good time. I was so wrong. This was one of the best weekends I've ever had!

My two friends and I arrived in Palm Springs on Friday evening, tired from the drive, I didn't really feel like going to The Hard Rock Hotel to party, but it was our first night and with just the right level of anticipation, I found the motivation to drag myself off the Motel 6 bed I was sharing, into the one hundred degree heat, and into the club.  

The place wasn't cracking right when we got there around 7:30pm, but it was still pretty early. The lackadaisical atmosphere had me thinking it was gonna be a long weekend. One thing led to another and as soon as I knew it, Oliver Heldens himself was right in front of me, mixing, producing live and literally partying with us.  From then on out, I was a believer.

After Oliver, Motez started doing his thing and we took a few pictures of him tearing up the tables and wrecking sh*t. Let me just reiterate, if you know anything about EDM, you know that these artists perform at places like Coachella and EDC, in front of tens of thousands of people who pay hundreds of dollars to see them from hundreds of yards away. Those of us who went to SplashHouse got a front row ticket for the price of a pair of new Chubbies. Unreal. 

The next day was even better. Bikinis and Deep House all day, with nobody to stop us, the party was amazing. Flume performed, then we went to another resort called El Saguaro, where the party continued. The whole thing took place in three resorts over the course of the weekend. Hard Rock was the most popular and most crowded, but also the most fun. 

I can't summarize the entire experience in this article, too much happened in too short a time. I learned that it's okay to branch out and leave my comfort zone, to try new events and don't jock big-name events like Coachella so hard before trying other events. If you want the absolute best bang for your buck, go to SplashHouse, party with the best, go crazy. Just one last thing, its 21+ only, sorry kids.

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.

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.

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.
