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.

Moving on, starting fresh

-
I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
