RED: a red-themed rock music playlist!


Over the past two years, I have found that making playlists is something that I'm really passionate about! When paired with my other favorite hobby, collaging, I have been able to make some really special mix CDs and album art for my friends and family, which I will hopefully post details on at some point in the future.

This particular playlist idea, RED, came about when quarantine began and I wanted to make a gift for my boyfriend, whom I hadn't been able to spend time with for weeks. I had made him a few playlists before--all cheesy, all romantic. I wanted this one to be different! His favorite color is red, and his favorite genre of music is rock. I put the two together and voila! A rock playlist containing only songs named after different shades of red. This playlist was SO fun to make. My criteria for making uniquely themed playlists such as these is:

1. the song lyrics must reflect the theme of the playlist (in this case, each song had to mention the color of red that it was named after).
2. I must like the song, or at least be convinced that the recipient of the playlist will like it.
3. I need at least twelve songs, ideally fourteen.
4. Each song title and artist needs to be different than the others.

After weeks of sifting through Spotify, searching up color names, and listening to every song over and over until I narrowed it down to the perfect ones, I was able to complete my playlist! I loved how it turned out, and so did Brandon!

You can find this playlist on my Spotify--it has the same album art as pictured above, minus the digitally added text. I've hyperlinked it here. Let me know if you give it a listen :).


Talk to you later or something,

Free Magazines and Catalogs I Use for Collaging

I love collaging. This art form often involves spending a significant amount of time poring over multiple catalogs and magazines for the perfect imagery and verbiage. Most of us have piles of old magazines lying around, or at least have family or friends that are willing to donate theirs to our cause.  But there are also those of us that don't  have this luxury, or those of us with an  extreme  love of collaging that have exhausted most of their resources already or just want to expand their collection. This list covers multiple totally FREE catalogs and magazines that I subscribe to that provide me with a steady stream of collaging material throughout the year. Also please try to support these companies while using their free catalogs! You can order from them, or at least give them a shout-out for providing the imagery for your art piece if you post your work on social media! A lot of work goes into these companies, and supporting them allows them to continue operating and offerin

Animal Crossing New Horizons Villager Themes: Old Folks!

Image
I'm chuckling to myself right now as I imagine a future version of Animal Crossing called Animal Crossing: Old Folks. I'm pretty sure I would be obsessed with it, but maybe that's just because I'm exhausted and it's almost 1 in the morning. Unfortunately, that game will likely never exist, but until then, we can still make our islands into a retirement paradise for the elderly Animal Crossing villagers! I've rounded up ten villagers that I believe to be the most eligible options for senior citizens in the game. I haven't been able to test out this combo in-game yet because I have a disturbing lack of Amiibo cards . . . and a disturbing lack of New Horizons. But that's okay! If I actually had the game, I probably wouldn't have enough time to make this blog post in between keeping up my New Leaf town and playing New Horizons obsessively. Let me know if you give it a try! Better yet, if you're just starting out and for some reason, you decide to mak

Cherry Limeade Flavors, Best To Worst

Image
I have no idea how my intense infatuation with cherry limeade truly began, but I fell fast, and I fell hard. This tart yet sweet beverage has become a stable fixation of mine over the course of a year, turning every grocery-shopping trip and stopping-for-gas trip into a cherry-limeade-seeking adventure. I have exhausted all of my local grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, dollar stores, and restaurants during my search for this elusive drink flavor, and I have decided to share the somewhat expansive knowledge I have gained on my journey. I will sort all of the cherry limeades that I have tested thus far into the following categories: "my favorites," "yep, these are tasty," "pretty decent," "not really my style," and "this doesn't even taste like cherry limeade!" I am by no means a food critic. I have no authority to claim certain brands as the 'best' and others as the 'worst.' This list is simply my pers
