Music Mondays: Kanye Krazy?
Hey Hey! Today's post is going to be about the one and only Mr. West. I know we all have seen Kanye a lot in recent headlines for his infamous rants and unapologetic statements however, this time it is a bit different as he was hospitalized. Now let me back up a little and talk about how I was able to win tickets to see him perform in Washington, DC next week at the Verizon Center. I won the tickets back in October and I was more than excited that I would be going to see Ye....IT'S KANYE WEST! I was prepared to have my mind blown. My biggest concern was what I planned to wear to the concert and what merchandise I was going to purchase while there. Weeks later I kept seeing posts and articles on social media of Kanye ranting at his concerts about various topics such as Donald Trump (rolls eyes) and walking out on shows. I just thought this was typical erratic Kanye behavior.....erratic behavior that would somehow manifest into something dope. (I was very hopeful as you can see) I had only hoped that he would just chill when he came to DC so I could hear him perform "Can't Tell Me Nothing". Then there was that morning where all my friends who knew how hype I was to be going to his concert hit me up to let me know that it was rumored that he had cancelled all his remaining shows. I wish ya'll could've seen my face. I sent a short "I know" to everyone that day because I was still hopeful that if Kanye hasn't said it yet, I won't believe it. Hours later I saw that TicketMaster and other ticket vendors were sending out refunds. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! My initial response was anger. I was so mad at Kanye you would've thought that he called me at home or something. I was going on a tangent thinking that he was being "crazy" and not thinking about the millions of people that wanted to see him perform. Then it hit me. Kanye is human just like me, only difference is he lives his life in the public eye so it gives people an open invitation to judge and say how they feel he should act and handle life. That's so not fair.
So after reading and finding out that Kanye was hospitalized for stress and exhaustion at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles following several chaotic days on tour, I felt horrible. I felt really bad because I, a person in the mental health field, didn't think for a second that there could've been something deeper behind his behavior. Granted I know his hospitalization was for stress and exhaustion however, when you look at Kanye's life he's been through a lot. He went through a traumatic vehicle accident where he nearly died and he lost his mother unexpectedly. He had also just experienced his wife and mother of his children recently being robbed at gunpoint. Those things take a HUGE toll on anyone. Why is Kanye supposed to be able to handle everything and never feel overloaded emotionally or mentally? Because he's famous? That's just not fair.
Of course we will never know exactly what has caused Kanye's recent hospitalization because we only get second-hand information from the media, I for one sincerely hope that Kanye has been able to get all needed treatment. He has been spotted out in public recently and although it hasn't been with individuals whom are my cup of tea, I hope that he is able to remain stabilized and get back to the music. Thank ya'll for reading! Share your thoughts below! What do you think about Mr. West?

MUSIC MONDAYS!!
Hey Hey! It’s Monday and you know what that means for my blog….MUSIC MONDAYS! So over the past week I’ve been listening to Bruno Mars newest album “24K Magic” and I AM HOOKED! I tend to save albums for when I am traveling as that gives me the opportunity to fully listen all the way through, so that’s what I did to listen to this project. I was traveling back home to southern VA when I gave it a listen and I was completely blown away! “24K Magic” is the first single that Bruno put out from the album and that song is definitely catchy and makes you want to hit a quick lil jig as soon as it comes on. Then there’s songs such as “Perm” that in my opinion gives off a sound reminiscent of James Brown, which I grew up with my dad blasting. There’s an older feel to the album and its’ definitely nostalgic. I can’t forget to mention my favorites “That’s What I Like”, “Versace On The Floor”, and "Straight Up & Down”. There’s one word to describe all three of these songs….Sexy! I just love the smooth and sexy lyrics! I’m not quite sure if Bruno is known for being a pop artist however, the songs on this album are full of soul and R&B and that’s what has me vibing with it the way I do. I never really listened to Bruno Mars’ music beyond the singles that he put out so giving this album a listen really allowed me to hear and notice his vocal ability. I think his voice is amazing! It’s so crazy that I never noticed it before! I think that this album couldn’t have come at a better time. With so much of the current music being very trendy and a lot of artists having similar sounds, it’s refreshing to have an album that is not only nostalgic but does not sound like anything else. If you haven’t already, give this album a listen and let me know what you think. Also, let me know in the comments what you have been listening to! Music is life! I hope you guys enjoy this post and don’t forget to comment and subscribe by email.

RECENT FAVORITES!!!
Hey Hey! Today’s post is going to be about my recent favorite beauty/skincare/hygiene products. I originally intended to make a post sharing my “recent empties” which are the empty bottles of the products i’ve recently finished using. So much time got away from me that my small pile of empties became a huge pile of favorites, so I decided to do a favorites post instead. In this post you will see some of the products i’ve used over the past few months that I really enjoyed. I will also share with you how they work and my thoughts about them. Check out the link below to see all my “Recent Favorites”. I have also supplied a list of all items discussed in the video as well as links to purchase them. I hope you enjoy!
