Lost Anchored Souls

Well today is my birthday and I am both excited and sad. I am excited because... well it's my birthday!  But I'm a little upset because I am no longer in my "teens", I am an adult, I am 20. To me that is frightening. I'm getting closer to being on my own without my family and closer to being done with college and into the real world. I'm afraid of getting older and afraid of the life that is a head of me .  I hope this year will be awesome and hold many adventures. I am ready to take it on!

I was looking for some new granola bars to try out for college and these pumpkin - n - spice bars are really good! They are organic and have pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and granola. They are chewy which is great, I don't think they would have been as good if they were crunchy. There is 6 in the box, which doesn't seem like much but they are actually pretty big and filling. I almost forgot to mention they are NON-GMO (not genetically modified organisms). So if your looking for a new healthy snack to try- and if you love pumpkin flavored things- definitely try these out.

With much debate and narrowing it down to only 2 artists I have decided that my artist of the month is.... Troye Sivan! He just recently released his EP Trxye on August 15th. I have to say I love every single song. Though 5 songs may not seem like much I think it's rare when you can like every single song on an album and not have to press skip to go to the next. I also feel like it's rare (especially for me) to not have a favorite song off of an album. I honestly could not choose which song I like the most, they are all fantastic. The genre is pop but it also has an alternative kind of feel to it, at least I think so. Many of the songs are at a slower pace but I don't see it making anyone sad listening to it. I also feel like I can make many connections with the music, which I believe is so important. So what are you doing just sitting there?!?! Go and listen to this awesome EP by Troye Sivan! You will not regret it ;) If you were curious about my 2nd choice it was Arctic

My song of the week will definitely have to be "dressed in black" by sia. I just love her entire album but right now this one is my favorite. I feel like I can connect with a lot of the lyrics at times. The song is so rhythmic I just feel you could passionately dance to it... and I can't even dance! Sia is a great artist and-as I do with every artist I bring up- I suggest you give her music a chance and listen to her new album 1000 Forms of Fear.

I have been so busy this week with work and getting ready for six flags tomorrow that I nearly forgot to post my song of the week! This week a song I have been listening to non stop is Happy Little Pill by Troye Sivan. I love everything about the song, I also love Troye Sivan. It is the first song from his EP TRXYE that was released, the rest of the EP will be released August 15th (8/15/14). I love the pace of the song and it's really catchy, so it's easy to get stuck in you're head. I really hope everyone will check Troye out because he has worked really hard on everything, and I feel like he really deserves to be recognized by more people.
