What You're Missing on Your Playlist!

-
If you’re in the loop of only listening to radio music or the top 50 hits on Spotify or Apple Music you’re definitely missing out. Some of my favorite, and in my opinion, some of the best artists I’ve listened to vocally and lyrically are those who are not super well known. That being said here are two in-depth descriptions of artists in my opinion that you should definitely check out are super talented, as well as a shortlist of recommended songs from some of my other favorite small artists. Spencer Sutherland Spencer is one of the most down-to-earth, talented people I’ve ever seen live. He grew up in Columbus and played local bars until he made it onto the UK X-Factor in 2017. Spencer didn’t make it until the end, but he recently just got signed to LA-based record label, BMG records. His songwriting abilities and voice are truly unique and are a combination I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. Spencer’s songs are very personal, but still extremely relatable. Spencer’s stage presence is truly like no other, he is high energy and knows how to keep the crowd going. He is truly a humble and funny guy, and never takes anything for granted, I’m lucky to call him a friend and to have had the opportunity to see him more times than I can count. Songs to check out: NONE of This Has Been About You Freaking Out Tell Me


Lennon Stella Lennon Stella is one of my all-time favorite female artists. Her voice is truly so beautiful and her lyrics are nothing less of perfect and full of meaning. Lennon starred on the TV show Nashville from 2012 to 2018 with her younger sister Maisy Stella. In late 2018, she released her debut EP with five original songs, and has since released two original singles. I had the opportunity to meet her and see her perform an acoustic set and open for 5SOS at the U.S. Bank Arena about a month ago and she certainly did not disappoint. Lennon has pure talent and I would definitely recommend checking her out! Songs to Check Out: Like Everybody Else Fortress Bad


Ruel: Dazed & Confused Painkiller Not Thinkin’ Bout You



Charlotte Lawrence: Why Do You Love Me Navy Blue Everybody Loves You

Alec Bailey: Roseanne Lemonade Flowerbomb


I hope this gives you some new music to check out and add to your playlists! Let me know if you check out any of my suggestions in the comments below!

Beauty on a Budget

I personally love makeup, the artistry of it, and just how much fun it can be. Whenever I am stressed or bored I will just do a makeup look for fun, and sometimes they turn out so well. Makeup for me is super relaxing, and I absolutely love doing it, but it can be expensive.  I learned how to do makeup from practice and of course from the beauty gurus on YouTube. Although YouTube can be a great place to learn techniques and get great new ideas, the products used are often extremely expensive and are not practical for the everyday college student to get. I am going to list some great, widely used drugstore makeup products below that may help you out if you are also interested in makeup but have no idea what to get and can not afford the high-end brands. The first product that I currently swear by is the Maybelline Superstay foundation. I have relatively dry skin, so it is hard for me to find a good foundation that doesn't make my face look or feel super cakey. I don't ...

Four Songs that are an Instant Mood Booster

It’s now halfway through the semester, everyone is in the thick of classes, midterms, and homework and sometimes it just gets you down. Sometimes it’s important to just step back, listen to music, and relax even for just 20 minutes. Music is definitely an escape and can change my mood very fast. Here are my top four favorite happy mood songs to play when I start to feel a little down. Be Alright by Ariana Grande: This song has been one of my all-time favorites since its release in early 2016. The song is all about getting over the small things that bring you down and it reminds you that “every little thing is gonna be alright.” The song is only two minutes long so it’s definitely a quick pick-me-up. Just Fine by Backhouse Mike: This song is a super fun song about just living your life and no matter what you’re going through everything is gonna be “just fine.” This is a good song to play with friends if you are all feeling a little down and need a little dance party break...

Dreams Coming True

I had a couple of major goals in 2019. My top three were to visit Los Angeles, make a ton of impulsive decisions, and get at least one of my designs used for merch by an artist or influencer. Now, with only less than a month left of the year, I can happily say I accomplished my top three goals. I visited LA in the summer and leave to visit again on December 30th, I made a few ~too~ many impulsive decisions (my bank account is really regretting it), and the most exciting in my opinion, my first merch campaign in collaboration with YouTuber and influencer, Caitlyn Rae. I’ve known Caitlyn for about a year and a half now, when she only had 15,000 subscribers, now as 2019 nears she has nearly 300,000 subscribers. At the end of October, Caitlyn and I started discussing plans for a possible collaboration for her Black Friday launch. I threw around the idea of a Christmas sweater design and Caitlyn was really excited about it so we went for it. I spent about an hour or two that night worki...
