šš½ Hello There
Itās raining in Los Angeles at the moment and I will be cliche and say we needed this rain. And whatās great is its been for the most part the type of rain we need right now. Not too heavy or light. January has been such a loooong month, but at the same time Iām okay with that because usually the months fly by and somehow itās three months later after I blink. This issue is the issue that I was planning on sending at the beginning of the month plus some additional things since itās a couple of weeks later.
Usually Iād have more to say here but things have been chill in the best way and I havenāt really been up to much. I did go out of town for a friendās wedding which was a wonderful time! Oh, and Iām on a shopping fast for the next few months minus some items that Iāve carved out as need to purchases so the shopping section may be missing in action for a few issues cause if Iām not thinking about shopping then Iām not browsing either.
See you next month!
IN THE āMEWDā FOR..
MUSIC Iāve started my 2025 playlist and I need to build it up to more than 20 songs that I can listen to over and over. So, in the meantime, Iāve been having my 2024 playlist, New Music Daily and a few albums on rotation. Here are some quick thoughts on what Iāve been listening to recently: āAlligator Bites Never Healā by Doechii ā Iāve been listening to her since Yucky Blucky Fruitcake which is a wild (in a good way) song. With her first album to me, it is well rounded with an aggressive, authentic and a chill vibe. It reminds me of raw unfiltered honey (weird analogy I know) itās delicate, sweet but packs a punch. Also, Iām reminded of 90s rap on certain songs. Iām glad to see her profile grow and believe 2025 is the year Doechii will finally get the praise and recognition that is well overdue. āTweakerā by Gelo - TBH I donāt know what he is saying except during the chorus because the beat catches me more since it sounds like early 2000s rap DeBĆ TiRAR MĆ”S FOToS by Bad Bunny - Mr. Bunny came out with a new album which no es una sopresa este Ć”lbum es muy divertido y bien. It is well rounded and very representative of the culture and place that made Benito. You can see not only the homage he did with this album to his home and ārootsā that makes him who he is but the love he has for Puerto Rico. āKing of the Mischievous South Vol. 2ā by Denzel Curry - This mixtape reminded me a lot of Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs n Harmony at certain points. I had this thought even before the song featuring Project Pat. I would have loved for this to be a solo project instead of Denzel + friends on every song. I think Denzel has the talent to carry any album or mixtape on his own with just a few features. Overall, itās great vibes and gives you great energy to start your day or before a big moment or workout. Other songs Iām enjoying: Hello, Hi (Little Simz) and Sports Car (Tate McRae) | FOOD  Breakfast at Beachwood Cafe Los Angeles, CA - Loreto Los Angeles, CA - Bridgetown Roti Los Angeles, CA - Indigo Cow Beverly Hills, CA - Tempura Endo Washington, DC - Rooster and Owl McLean, VA - Joon Tampa, FL - Psomi Oldie but Goodie Los Angeles, CA - Joanās on Third Los Angeles, CA - Beachwood Cafe Recommendations Iāll Share EUROPE Paris, FR - Janet Deli Paris, FR - Nonette USA New York, NY - Kiko New York, NY - Misi Atlanta, GA - Tiger Sun Atlanta, GA - Lucky Star |

I love movies like this and if you enjoyed Eight Grade, or any coming of age movie encourage you to check this out Carry-On (Netflix) - Oh I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Itās definitely a popcorn movie and Jason Bateman does well as the villain to the surprise of no one. This movie reminded me of how I once had to evacuate at LAX but still had an on time departure, thankfully and gratefully. The Six Triple Eight (Netflix) - Considering the landscape we live in now, this movie highlights the stories of women whose stories never get told even though the impact they made was a passive but major one. This movie is done by Tyler Perry but itās so much more elevated than his previous work. Highly encourage everyone to watch and learn more about the ladies of Six Triple Eight who managed to do the unthinkable and help turn the tides when it came to the morale of troops abroad fighting during World War II TV The Diplomat (Netflix)- Favorite quote of season 2? āDemocracy is actually going out of styleā. I love a good foreign relations drama. In another life Iām a foreign service worker or Ambassador. Season two built upon the world established in season one with a punchy ending and plot line. Canāt wait to see how season three turns out Other TV Shows or Movies Iāve watched but too lazy to do a quick review so hereās a three words or less review: Book of Clarence(Netflix) - Weird but intriguing, La Palma (Netflix) - Nail biting (fyi ā series is in Spanish, Norwegian, and English), Starting 5 (Netflix) - Behind the basketball, Moana 2(In Theaters) - Cuteee and fun, Squid Games 2 - I have thoughts (fyi ā series is in Korean), The Wasp (MGM+/Prime Video) - Twisted but good, Selling the City (Netflix) - Messy, liked it, Dune Prophecy (HBO Max) - 4.5 stars, Light of My Lion - Heartwarming story (fyi ā series is in in Japanese),The Substance (In Theaters) - WOW. š« š³ |
