new music friday: first impressions!

-


Most people who know me know I am ALWAYS on the hunt for new music, so the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify really does me some favours! I had a look last Friday (the 14th) and picked out 10 songs, some by artists I have heard of, but some that I hadn’t (I just shuffled for this) and gave my review!

The main point of this post is to highlight this feature if you don’t already know about it, but to also give my opinion on the songs! I have decided to so a very raw reaction to the songs, as I just want to be more real on the blog, and if I get hyped, I get VERY hyped!

 

midnight sky- miley cyrus

first impression: a solid 8/10, loveee the slow section towards the end, a good badass bop as per, I’m a fan of her music in general and I do vibe well with the song

 

levitating- dua lipa ft madonna and missy elliott

first impression: love the crossover, dua lipa is on it with her music right now, missy elliott’s rap SLAPSSSSSS, not the biggest fan of madonna tho, 7/10

 

laugh now cry later- drake ft lil durk

first impression: not a bad song, but drake’s songs just begin to sound the same after a while in my opinion, probs won’t add to my liked songs, 4/10

 

hard on yourself- charlie puth, blackbear

first impression: LOVE the combination of these voices, I’m a blackbear fan, quite a chill song, I have a feeling it’ll grow on me, 6/10

tell me about it- ella eyre

first impression: another girly bop, love her voice on the whole, not my fave song of hers but I do love the lyrics! 7/10

 

can’t be saved- kiesza

first impression: powerful beat drop that I WASN’T expecting, do love how the song builds, haven’t heard one of her songs in a while, so was refreshing to hear her voice, 6/10

 

twelvemonth- rasharn powell

first impression: this song really fits the style that I have been loving at the moment, a relaxing voice with a good beat, haven’t heard much from this artist before but definitely on my radar, one of my faves from this selection, 9/10.

free- sequence, lukefly

first impression: not the biggest fan of rap but this isn’t bad, quite repetitive but catchy, again haven’t heard of the artists before, but would give a 5/10

 

more life- odeal

first impression: similar vibe to twelvemonth, the artists voice sounds SO familiar but I just can’t pinpoint it, but I do like it! Gives me summery and upbeat vibes, 6/10.

hey love- filous, the kooks

first impression: just not my vibe personally, very sorta indie (please don’t come for me indie people) but I need something with a stronger beat and this just ain’t it! 2/10.

 

I hope you liked my little review of the songs, if you check any of them out on Spotify come and chat in the comments with me! Have the best weekend,

summer skincare routine

-

Skincare is usually not something I care too much about, and as I do have pretty clear skin. However, I have wanted to have a routine in place, as I am trying to reduce the amount of break outs I have! I mean, what a great time to be writing this, considering I have just broken out with a few spots around my nose! I don't own a lot of skincare products, and its just because my skin rarely needs a full, deep cleanse, but these products I use on a daily basis. In the morning, I will only apply the last 3 products, just because I don't usually have a lot of time to focus on skincare! In the evenings, I start by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad, which thoroughly takes off my makeup, meaning I can skip the stage of cleansing. If I am feeling lazy however, I just remove my makeup with a makeup wipe. I then hydrate my face with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which helps my skin from not going dry in the summer months. This also gi...

3 ways to make your spotify 'aesthetic'

-

Music is something that makes me so happy, and you find me listening to it a lot of the time (as I’m writing this I have my summer playlist on), whether that be with my airpods in and being respectful to everyone, blasting out my records, or just having a party in my room (this happens more often than not!). I use and update my spotify account regularly, and like to keep it as ‘aesthetic’ as possible, and there are ways to do this. I will link my spotify below if you’d like any inspiration 😊 1.       Update your playlists regularly. New songs are released weekly, and you can often find songs that you forget about but never add them to playlists. By updating playlists, it means you’re not having the same selection of songs on repeat, which can eventually get boring. As well as adding new songs, removing songs you don’t like as much anymore or don’t fit a certain vibe in a playlist, it can help you to enjoy some playlists a lot more, rather than having to ski...

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new! I’m here with another extra collab post, I have been working with Vivian and Sairah from iridescent.photo.blog to bring you this cross over collab! The girls have just finished secondary school and are about to start sixth form/college, and I have just finished sixth form, I got my A-Levels (literally yesterday as I’m writing this). So, I am writing a letter to my 16 year old self, of what I wish I’d known, and the girls will write a letter to their 18 year old selves, which they can refer back to when they are in my position! I will link all of their socials, as well as their blog and post down below! Dear Amelia, I know you’re petrified to start sixth form in a brand-new place, with so many new people, and with a dress code that you’re not so keen on! But I tell you now, you’re going to enjoy the 2 years (most of the time) and you actually really like the dress code once you put your own spin on it! The bi...
