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!

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town. Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas. This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ). But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center. There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...

Hey internet, it's been a while. Seems I blogged for the month October and only the month of October. Let me explain what happened... As you can see my posts were mainly about how I adopted iifym macro practice, and how well it was working for me. Honestly I had seen so much progress and success with this idea of eating for a while. I thought I have finally gotten myself on a path I was happy and successful with. I thought I had finally beat the binging. Unfortunately that was not the case. In fact right when I stopped blogging is when my binging worked its way back to my life. Correlation? Yes. How could one write positive messages and healthy eating support, when you are unhappy and can't even control your own eating?! For the months following October, I would eat and eat and eat until I felt sick. I felt so sick sometimes I could have sworn I was going to die. Every morning I would wake up saying "yesterday was the last day." So I would restrict al...

Date Weekend- New York City Edition

It's no secret in our household that NYC is our favorite place to be. Scott was raised there, and ever since I was young I have always loved it there. Honestly it's where we talk about retiring to! Strange right? So a few Friday's ago we got to drop the little man of the house off at grandma's, and we had a night out. He saw Disney on ice, and we had a delicious dinner in Brooklyn! We decided to try out a restaurant called The Buttermilk Channel, and man it did NOT disappoint! Let's first start with the drink I had called the Lucha Vavoom, which was mezcal, tequila, honey, and lemon. Have you ever had an expensive drink that makes big promises and is basically a watered down alcoholic drink? Yeah... this was NOT that. Off to a great start with that! We started our meal with a bacon appetizer. House cured bacon with whiskey poached figs, and black garlic to be exact! It was between this and the cornbread...but we are bacon people. ...
