I Wanna Hold Her Hand & Show Her Some Beauty

I'm going to come out and say that I have full faith that the soon to be released Arcade Fire album will be to par or better than "Funeral", as their song "Suburbs" is simply beautiful and so well written & composed. This song gets me a bit weepy with its fallout feel and dreamscape of bombs falling from the sky. God I wish they were playing the Bowl this summer, a few years back they did and that was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Hope you like this song as much as I do.

Breakfast of Champions

I believe breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, thus being innovative and exciting is most important. I like to keep it healthy and balanced by incorporating protein, dairy, nanas, fiber, and a coffee beverage. I highly recommend duplicating this yourself at home, as the whole breakfast is under 300 calories and simply delicious!

What you'll need:

Yogurt Haven
-1 cup Fage greek yogurt (20g protein!)
-Half banana
-slivered almonds
-dash of dried fruit
-sprinkled with honey

English Muff Nuff
-Thomas Better Start Light english Muffins (8g of fiber!)
-Trader Joe's Boysenberry jam
-crumble goat cheese

Hope you guys enjoy this, I'm a savory scrumdiddlyumptious kinda girl... and yeah it's pretty much amazing.

You're My Favorite Flavor

Air's "Playground Love" has a nostalgic affect on many of us and I've just stumbled upon perhaps one of the best covers of it. Oh Phoenix, you french boys have been in my life for some time now, since the days of "Long Distance Calls". Listen and love this track and it's raw goodness...

It Rains Allot This Time of Year

Oh gloomy days, I kinda love you... Here's a song from an ex-Phantom Planeter, LA native, and actor Jason Schwartzman in a project called Coconut Records. I'm still kinda confused how this one slipped passed me but nonetheless its simply good.

"And i miss you (ooooh)
I’m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase"

Just Breathe

Hello weekend, how do you do? I'm a happy lady with the way the stars are aligning and my two days off will bring! My brothers fiance is having a bachelorette party this weekend at a super swank resort in San Diego that should be chicktastic and loads of fun, I'll be taking lots of pictures with my new camera. Tonight I'm attending a 3rd grade reunion with kids that are all grown up from likely the coolest elementary school ever, Sugar Hill. Imagine having a dragon as your mascot... And the swing set their was incredible, far taller than other schools.

Here's a song that should be apart of everyone's playlist for nighttime drives by Telepopmusik. Its made for cityscape freeways as the world around you blurs in motion and the lyrics induce you by saying "Just Breathe", an act that so many of us forget to do when caught up in life. Listen, love, live my lovelies...

I Wanted a Hit!

James I do adore... Mr. Murphy has brought us yet another SPECTACULAR album, supposedly the last to be graced under the LCD Soundsytem name. At first I wasn't too jazzed with the "Drunk Girls" track thinking he lost his magic, but I was truly wrong. This will definitely be in my top 5 of the year as it leaves me in absolute bliss and ups my happy-go-lucky meter by a whopping 16%! Build ups have never sounded so good and the flow of the album in its entirety is just ridiculous(that of the amazing). Gotta find a way to go buy tickets for the Fox Theater before they sell out, cause Ticket Master is trying to rape people of a $17 markup per ticket! So atrocious... This is music that must be heard live!
