Feel Good Friday: Show Me Where Ya Noms At

Happy Friday, Friends!

For this week's feel good tune, I turned to one of my fave Youtubers: Hannah Hart.
You may know her from her hilarious web show, "My Drunk Kitchen." [If not, allow me the pleasure of introducing you to her, click here.]

Hannah joined forces with another Youtuber to create today's feel good tune, called: Show Me Where Ya Noms At!

Enjoy.


Have a wonderful weekend!
I'll catch up with you on Monday!
Be safe, take care and much love from me to YOU!
XOXO

Feel Good Friday: I Will Be Rising From The Ground Like A Skyscraper

Happy Friday, Friends!

Today's feel good tune is "Skyscraper," sung by Demi Lovato.

Before you go and put on your judgement caps, Miss Demi Lovato has my utmost respect. She faced her demons and triumphed over them, quite publicly, and is using her experiences to inform and empower young girls who might be facing similar demons of their own. She's raising awareness by speaking publicly [and extremely eloquently- I might add] of the effects of bullying, eating disorders, cutting, as well as Bi-polar Disorder.

For all of that, I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Last week I had VH1's Jumpstart playing in the background while I was making breakfast and "Skyscraper," came on. I hadn't heard it before. But when I heard that voice I stopped scrambling my eggs, walked over to the TV and just sat down on my futon in awe as I realized it was Demi Lovato. Not even moments later I began to weep.

This song has a powerful message:
Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground.

Sorry. Excuse me. I think I have some dust in my eyes...

Ok, I lied, I'm weeping tears of inspiration and admiration.

Go Demi!

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Take care, be safe and much love from me to YOU!

XOXO

Happy Monday, Friends!

Today's tunage is brought to you by female fronted-Canadian-pop/rock band ARIA.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love me a female fronted rock band.

Aria's got a rad sound, when I listened to their song, "Escaping The Transience," I was hooked.
Here, let's take a listen, shall we?!



So good, right? You've totally got it bouncing around in your head still, don't you! [Me too.]
If you liked what you heard you should check out their Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter [@AriaOfficial]

That's all for today, folks!
Have a wonderful week and I'll catch you on Friday for a feel good tune!

Be safe, take care and much love from me to YOU!
XOXO

Feel Good Friday: What A Feeling!

Happy Feel Good Friday, Friends!

Boy, let me tell you, it feels incredible to say that!
I have been MISSING all of you these past few weeks!
My most sincere apologies for not being around! Really, I do feel quite terrible about it.

BUT in the very same breath, I have exciting news! There's a reason this blog has been lagging, Yours Truly got a new job! I up and moved across the state, had a LOT of training, and this past Tuesday was my first full day!

So, now that I've been getting into a groove here, I'm starting the blog back up!

Right, the blog, I'm sure you're all dying to know what the Feel Good Tune is of the week!

It's the theme song from the fantastical one-of-a-kind movie from the year 1983... FLASHDANCE!

Here's Irene Cara singing, "What A Feeling!"



Remember: Take your passion, and make it happen!

Have a lovely week! I'll be back in business for a Music Monday post [on Monday, obviously.]
If you have any suggestions let me know!
Be safe, take care and much love from me to YOU!

XOXOX

Feel Good Friday: Extraordinary Machine

Happy Friday, Friends!

The picture above is an adorable Corgi dog. [I own a similar pair of sunglasses by the way. Not kidding.] If you follow me on Twitter (@Mrolla) you may have noticed the adorable Corgi spam I was tweeting yesterday. I may or may not have been bitten by the Corgi-love-bug.

Anyways, onto the subject of today's post:

A Feel Good Tune

Today's song is, "Extraordinary Machine," by Fiona Apple

You know who's ALSO an Extraordinary Machine?

Nutmeg.

Who is Nutmeg, you ask?

Well, watch this and find out!

So adorable, right?!

[End of Corgi spam.]

Here's hoping that you, too, feel like an Extraordinary Machine today!

That's all for this week, catch up with next Friday for another Feel Good Tune!

(Music Monday's will be back up in 2 weeks, I'm in the process of moving and so it's on the back-burner for now.)

Take care, be safe and have a wonderful weekend!

XOXO

Feel Good Friday: When The Sun Shines We'll Shine Together

Happy Friday, Friends!

Remember the summer when Rihanna's song "Umbrella" hit the airwaves?

Me too, like it was yesterday. My friends and I even made up a little dance to go with it, in which we would all simultaneously break into whenever it would come on. (No, I'm not kidding.)

So, what could possibly be better than having your favorite band cover a song like that?

Nothing? Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

Here's today's Feel Good Tune: Tegan and Sara covering "Umbrella"

Enjoy!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We'll chat all about it on Monday!

Till then, be safe, take care and much love!

XOXO

Music Monday: Courage My Love

Happy Monday!

Today's featured band is a trio that somehow is able to balance being both absolutely adorable as well as some serious rockers.

The band's name is Courage My Love, (which comes from a line in the 1936 move titled, "Things To Come.")

Courage My Love is fueled by Mercedes Arn-Horn on guitar, her twin sister Phoenix Arn-Horn on drums, and David Blake-Dickson on bass.

Here's a little blurb from Courage My Love's official website:

With parents in tow, they have been hauling their gear, paying their dues, and gaining a loyal following throughout Ontario, Canada. The sheer joy they exhibit on stage marks them as old souls with an abundance of youthful energy, and an understanding of entertaining an audience that is far beyond that of most performers their age and older.

Let's take a listen, shall we?!

This is their first single, "Bridges"

Also, these ladies from Courage My Love CLEARLY have good music taste!

Have a listen as they cover my favorite band Tegan & Sara!

"Hop A Plane"

They're good right?! So good.

I'm telling you, keep your eyes out for these three!

You can "Like" them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter: @couragemylove

Well, folks, that's it for today!

Come back on Friday for the Feel Good Tune of the week!

Til then, have a wonderful week!

Be safe, take care and much love from me to YOU!

XOXO
