Summer Loving 2019

-
Since we are officially into summer, I decided to share the things I'm loving.

Binge Worthy Television
  • Kingdom
    • A historical drama that centers around a zombie epidemic that was caused by greed and corruption.  The cinematography and art direction are simply divine. The plot twist in the last few minutes of the season finale had my jaw on the floor. The show continues to prove that South Korea is a leader in horror filmmaking. I could talk about this show for hours. 
  • Dead to Me
    • What I love about this show is highlights the many facets of grief. I have not seen many shows besides Six Feet Under that really dive into ugliness, awkwardness and the guilt of grief. Nor have I seen a show from both sides of grief, the ones in mourning and the ones who caused the grief. A quirky gem. 
  • When They See Us
    • Heartbreaking, riveting and timely mini-series directed by the sublime Ava Duvernay. This show is not for the faint of heart, if it might cause some triggers please hold off watching it. 
  • Claws
    • The perfect summer show. 
  • The Handmaid's Tale
    • Only a few episodes in and it's still riveting. I am anxious and excited to see where we go this season. 
  • Stranger Things
    • I know it has yet to air, but these trailers have been everything. I'm so excited. 
Summer Reading
  • Kiss Quotient by Helen Hong
    • A sexy and romantic read. I could not put this book down. Image result for kiss quotient helen hoang
Summer Soundtrack
  • Dedicated by Carly Rae Jepsen
    • The queen of bops delivers once again.  The entire album is a worth successor of Emotion.  Here is my current fave from the album. 
  • Missing You by Ingrid
    • This song slaps so hard that I'm actually offended how good it is. 
  • Whirlwind by Maddie Poppe
    • A solid debut album from last season's American Idol winner. This lady here has a long career ahead of her, if she continues in this direction. 

 Summer Crush

  • Keanu Reeves
    • 2019 is the year of Keanu and I am loving it.

Feminist Wednesday: Try

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

The List: The Sexiest Men 2013 Edition

-

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition here on Confessions that during the month of love I unveil my list of men that continue to rock my world. Considering how successful my last list was the only responsible thing for me to do is officially declare that this tradition will live on. If you are curious to see how last year's list differed from this year here it is  My Little Valentines . This year my list is a little different. First of all, it did not feel right to narrow it down to 100. So below you will see a list composed of 110 men. I have included men that not only I find incredibly good looking but men that have enamored me with their talent and their wit. My list is in alphabetical order besides my top ten. If there is an asterisk behind their name that means they are newbies to the list. Let me know who you think is incredibly good looking.

What Can You Do Now?

-
This past week has been a dark chapter in American history. Over 100,000 American lives were lost to COVID-19.  On Memorial Day, in the city of Minneapolis George Floyd was murdered by four police officers. His death sparked a nation wide outrage. If you would like to know the ways you can support the movement please take a look at this website.  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#   It will give you ways you can help. You can sign petitions, donate, find contact information for officials in Minneapolis and find out ways to participate in peaceful protests.  This would also be a good time to register to vote, if you have not done so already. Besides remaining informed, I would advise you all to take care of your health during this difficult time. Make sure you take time to remain both physically and mentally strong.  Keep yourself hydrated. Take your vitamins. Meditate. Pray. Find ways to find joy. It is also a good time to reach out to love ones.  Be safe and be kind to yourself.
