Monday Music - Holy Child

Happy Monday!

I've had an unusually busy start to the week this week, but I wanted to pop on and mention a song I've been really loving.

Hundred Thousand Hearts by Holy Child


I have been following the progression of this band since college.  I actually occasionally hung out with the lead singers sister from time to time.... Well we ran in the same circle of friends.  She must have mentioned the band, or posted it somewhere and I took a listen!

Turns out their music is quite quirky, but in the best way! The lead singer, Liz Nistico has a unique voice that fits well with their electric pop song. And the chorus is always something catchy that keeps you coming back. 

This particular song has a simple start, that picks up at that chorus. One thing I always love is how a song starts out in the most simple way and the gradually picks up through the song, until eventually you have this full band, choir, and additional instruments. The build up of a song like that always gives me this unexplained feeling that just takes over my body! I think it's the addition of a chorus into a song for me.  Such a full sound!

For example in this song it almost sounds like a kid playing a note or two on a piano they got for Christmas or something! The song gradually builds up until Liz has a whole ensemble of voices behind hers, and a trumpet.  The cheers and singing at the end just tie everything together as just a really fun song.

I find myself shamelessly bopping around in the car while listening!

Take a listen, support new and local music, and don't forget to check out their other stuff if you like this song.  Definitely a fun band to watch out for in the future!

A Condo Closet Paradise

Recently we were woken up by what seemed like life just throwing annoying house issues at us. The closet "system", which was really just a long pole stuck into the two ends of the room came crashing down one morning!  I had been saying this was going to happen for days, but it finally happened.  All of our clothes, boxes, and random junk we kept in the closet now sprawled all over the floor. WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP...am I right?!  See, with me recently moving in with Scott (my boyfriend of 4 years 😋), came a lot more stuff that the closet wasn't equipped to handle apparently! I was "slowly" moving bags of clothes and hanging them up without Scott knowing. (I did it when he wasn't home... shhh....).  But because the closet was being used by a man who has far less clothes, and really only likes maybe 4 t-shirts it became very noticeable it was an issue. But we just continued living hoping for the best.   Now to be completely honest, this closet need

On to the Next! -- I got a promotion!

Good morning. Happy Fridayyyy ! Today is the most bittersweet day for my career. It is my last day working with the team I've been with since day one at my current company (though this is the first company I started working for once out of college). Now I'm not leaving the company I work for, but I recently got promoted to a different department. This means I move up a floor, and will really only see my current coworkers in passing! I am EXTREMELY excited to start this new chapter in my life.  This is a position I have been wanting, and felt was the right next move for my career.  But I think it's difficult to let go of things you are comfortable with, and it's especially hard when you love all your coworkers! It's not just my team I will miss either! My current boss is really the reason I have gained the momentum I have in the working world. He has always been dedicated to my growth, and has been someone to help guide me through life.  I could easily thank

Operation Brunch- Theme: FALL!

Good Morning! Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I know that many people would agree that fall is one of the best times during the year.  The crisp air, and the changing colors just really make me happiest. This year is the first year I have a place of my own to decorate, so I am extra excited.  I had pumpkins in our house the first day it was even a little bit chilly! So since I now have a house to host things in, its becoming my favorite season, AND I've been able to decorate for fall, I felt it was appropriate to host a fall themed brunch with my 3 oldest and closest friends! With us all living in different directions and having separate lives it's been a WHILE since the four of us got together.  I'm so happy they all made it out here this weekend.  It was a lovely day of laughing, drinking mimosas and casually annoying Scott while he tried to watch football.  I'm also glad that I now have the opportunity to host casual events with my fr
