Tik Tok Here to stay

Image
 I want to say I am only writing this because I just want to see where these kids will be in 15 years but honestly, I think I am genuinely interested  in them. Young social media influencers and all those Tik Tok stars are definitely interesting.  Their individual stories and how much of a following they all have obtained probably in the past 1-2 years, they are definitely the new child actor star that everyone wanted to be 10 years ago.  I am for sure out of the popular demographic I believe, not being a teenager wearing all these crazy color cropped top clothes and such. Also not being obsessed with every bit of drama or tea that happens in real time. I don't have a twitter so I don't have that tether but Instagram, Facebook and podcasts take up the social media for me.  Oh also Tik Tok until it's banned or whatever is happening. It looks like the app will be alright since US companies have purchased basically the american data in Tik Tok company I guess and w...

10 Things to Do in New England in the Fall

Image
With this corona thing still happening and distancing still necessary, fall really is a good but fleeting time to be out and about here in New England. These are all the things to do in the fall minus all the sports happening right now with football and stuff starting up.  1. Outdoor bar patios:      Yes drinking is fun, but mainly it's the company, and corona definitely has helped with the creativity of all these patio options now. Even they're adding fire pits and those heat lamps too.  2. Hiking:        Perfect skies and the crisp air and the changing leaves are perfect and there are many difficulties of hiking around here with a perfect skyline. Maine is perfect for the fall as is New Hampshire.  3. Corn Mazes:       So as a kid literally this was perfect and honestly more adults should do this too. I've seen a few places where there are wine spots hidden inside some and those are a game changer. I''m not positive...

Ritual -Tiesto, Rita Ora ~~~~~~ Edit: This is such a throwback to the mid 2010s where EDM dance pop was everywhere and a lot of these songs sound so similar. the shut down was really cool because I feel like I could discover new music and such and be nostalgic but also see what I like in the moment and be introspective 

KUWTK: An End to an Era

Image
The Kardashians are finally saying goodbye to their show Keeping of with The Kardashians and it's definitely an end to an era. Similar to The Jersey Shores, lots of media buzzing and such but who is going to replace the iconic family?  One idea heard from Barstool's Chicks in the Office was Tik Tok family, The D'Amelios with Charli and Dixie D'Amelio and their parents Marc and Heidi.  Kind of a different claim to fame but still the same media affect, maybe even a more impressive start. Small town CT family turned Tik Tok social media famous family already settled in California. The entertainment industry must love their platform  as well, Dixie and Charli alone have more than 100 million followers in Tik Tok alone with Charli being the most followed user on the whole app.  They have wasted no time partnering up for brand deals with companies and building their own individual portfolios branching from clothing brands, to music, to fashion shows, to television cameos...

King of Staten Island

Image
So as much as I really don't watch movies, this was a good movie. Like I think I love all Judd Apatow movies because I think all of his popular ones were basically my childhood, such as like Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin and the Anchorman stuff. This movie felt really specifically personal and other times relatable to just any other person growing up and becoming their own person. Now I know this is the supposed reality of Pete Davidson if he didn't find SNL, comedy and stand up, but this movie The King of Staten Island kind of seemed more relatable movie to all the stuck in the middle people. The rebellion even reminded me of preteen angst.  The movie was just about the family dynamic after a hardship. That is so relatable with the one parent/kids relationship with like divorce and fractured families. Kids can relate with the thinking that parents act selfishly breaking up a family and such.  It kind of shown light on what the Staten Island experience would be like, so close...

I Think I'm done with the Bachelor

  So I never really watched the reality shows for the romance of it all but it was always kind of cool how out of all these girls or guys, two people find their person on this television show and all that. So I guess I was wildly misinformed because I think out of all the season that I have watched I think only one couple is still lasting today and they're married... Becca and Garrett, the bachelorette from two years ago just recently split, they weren't married or with kids, just engaged for two years. And honestly the only reason why they met was because her fiancĂ© has previously split up from her, the season before for the runner up (who I may add, are still together, married and with a kid).  And the producers know how to get an emotional reaction from their audiences because every season I get invested into these people who are on my Tv screen for 2 hours a week. I was all rah rah for Becca but then again, they did sign up with it all..  I have no doubt there are cer...
