SIMPLE SYRUP

I’m probably not getting any new sneakers any time soon, but these are so cute! Sneakers from Drip Creationz (ig: @dripcreationz)

Because it is somewhat rare that I find an abstract artist that truly peeks my interest I get super hype when I do and Heather Day is an abstract artist that I’m very much a fan of. Besides her excellent use of different contrasting textures I think what really attracts me to her work is her use of COLOR. Her color combinations are so visually and aesthetically pleasing to me that it’s not like other abstract work where I find myself trying to see a face in it and try and guess and make it something that it’s not. I completely except her work for what it is and just enjoy her precision in her use of stroke, texture, and color.

With the shitty year I’ve had, Snoh Aalegra’s new album, Ugh, those feels again was exactly what I needed and wanted, okay. It is rare that I can listen to an album straight through with no skipping around to the singles, but I’ve listened to this album straight through multiple times already since it’s been released. I’m just in love with it and her honestly. I would say my favorites are: 1. “Whoa” 2. “I Want You Around” 3. “Here Now (Intro)” 4. “Find Someone Like You” 5. “Nothing to Me”

Iceland has long been on my wanderlust travel aspirations. It honestly looks so beautiful. The lush green mountains and black sand beaches are definitely a vibe. It also helps that I’m not a summery, tropical weather type of person for one so when I think of vacation Iceland is super ideal for me. And between the most-go, world renowned Blue Lagoon spa and the possibility of catching a sighting of the northern lights, Iceland is definitely top five on my travel list.
