The change of beauty norms
Self-grooming has been apart of our culture since who knows how long when it began for women to put on makeup, do their hair, shave every part of their body up to the eyebrows, and put on a dress. It's what we've been programmed to do. I remember having to start these norms in the fifth grade. I'm going to go down the list of what we've been accustomed to have to do and why we don't have to follow the beauty protocol, as the evolution has changed, those norms don't have to go with our way of life now. I'll also be giving my own side to how I have evolved as well.

Bands that should be on your radar
There is more of a chance for other rising musicians to make a name for themselves, and they have, but it's not the same acclaim as popular bands that got lucky for worldwide spread or had to work harder to get the name out there. The bands I have discovered the past years have had positive praises but not enough of a fanbase, it almost seems like it's an underground movement since it's not in the mainstream. We all love the same bands but at some point it gets tiring to see the same bands over and over again in the media or hearing it on the radio repeatedly. When there is other talent out there that just hasn't gotten that same treatment. Here is my list of bands you should listen to.

Writing tips for starters or struggles
I've been asked how I am able to stay focused on writing or get my central ideas for the plot together when I wrote my first book. Most writers I know can just get right into it and keep going. To quote one writer I know he says, "Don't think, just write" which is true. In the present time you have the idea, it can be edited or expanded later on. But if there is a present idea that needs to have a balanced outline. This is the method I created and it has worked for me. I don't know if all of my tips can work to your progress, but one or two may pertain.

Why you should watch Broadchurch
This is a series that has a lot to offer than regular crime shows. It's more than the avaunt guard procedural drama like The Killing or Blue Bloods with small-town secrets like Justified. Crime shows are a dime a dozen on different television networks or sequel series to continue one long idea like Criminal Minds Or CSI.

An open letter to a fractured friendship
It's an anxiety-induced feeling when something altered happens to what seemed like normal camaraderie. I've had moments where I couldn't have my chance to say something to fix what I didn't know was broken or it was altered by the former comrade. Over the past years, I've lost friends that I thought were going to be in my life for a long time, but it didn't turn out that way. When a friendship is over it feels as if there is no option to talk it through or resolve what happened whether it was a problem or a rift that split it. I've never gotten to have these moments of what I wanted to say to a friend that broke up something that wasn't even broken. I'm sure most people feel that way when something happens and there was never resolve. Even if it can't be mended but the hurt has to be heard. But what matters the most at the end of this chapter...

Songs that give off Witch vibes
The songs I have picked are universal to any kind of witch you strive to be, whether it be mischievous, ethereal, or just wanting the vibes to match that you don't want to be messed with. Some of these songs have a lyrical context that I have found to be parallel to various elements. Some of these songs can stand along with their own message, I just happen to find a bit of a witch vibe in these tunes. Get your magic wand, get a glass of wine, and enjoy these songs for your witching hour.

Songs for an upcoming road trip
Songs are a staple and requirements in a road trip . Whether or be solo or with comrades. At some point the same songs on the radio don’t do the justice to spice up the trip. There are other songs that are known by heart like Bohemian Rhapsody, I cant drive 55, or born to be wild. All great songs but they are already known, and it gets a little tiring to listen to the same songs. My list comprises of songs you may have not heard on the radio. Songs from a familiar artists you may have not known they made. Some of the songs have a theme lyrically constructed for a road trip and some are suited for car karaoke. Give it a listen and add it to a playlist for the future adventure in the soundtrack for the road trip.
