So let me just start this by saying I am in no way an expert on music... actually I wouldn't call myself an expert at anything really. But I do know when I like something and I thought it would be cool to share with you guys a few of my favorite songs that currently grace my Spotify playlist Current Vibes.

Also just another quick warning if you check out my playlist even though it is called Current Vibes some of the Vibes are from a few months back that I've either just discovered or I can't bring myself to remove from my playlist because I love them.


1.) Green Light - Lorde

My favorite song this week is Lorde's new single. Not only was is written by her but it was produced by her and Jack Antonoff. If you know anything about me you know I think anything Jack Antonoff attaches his name to is amazing! I still jam The Bleacher album like it is brand new! But Green Light is an anthem and so relatable. I would also recommend watching the video because it's almost  cathartic.



2.) I Almost Went to College and Got a Job- Jesse Daniel Smith

This song is the perfect acoustic vibe to roll down the windows to on an  unseasonably warm March day. It also has lyrics that I most of us can relate about not being sure of what path to take in life. It is a beautiful human story laced with a more upbeat guitar sounds.





3.) Busy Man - Ralph

So first off shout out to my two of my closest friends, my brother, Nick, and Spencer Barrett for always having their fingers on the pulse of the newest music. They introduced me to Ralph a few months ago when we were driving in Nick's car with Spencer as the DJ. Busy Man is my personal favorite because of lyrics like, "are you really no good or is it just talk" and "just a puppy at your heal." It's just a classic song written about having a thing for a bad boy.





4.) Good Girl - LANY

Once again I was introduced to LANY in Nick's car with Spencer as the DJ. This is a reaccuring theme in my life when it comes to music. I remember Spencer playing ILYSB and joking that is stood for I Love You, Spencer Barrett. But Good Girl is their latest single and probably one of their best. Although I challenge you to find a LANY song that isn't great. With the chill beats and the lyrics that have you  vividly perfecting scenes in your mind it's impossible not to fall in love.


So these are just a few of my favorite songs this week. I hope you can enjoy them as much as I do!


Love,
Katie Sierra

ALWAYS BE CLOSING


I'm the kind of person who never has trouble getting something started. I have no follow through. I can really enjoy and love doing the thing I've started but I'm always inconsistent. So for my New Year's resolution I've vowed to be a consistent closer. I'm off to a rocky start but I think it's one of those things that will take time. I just have to continue to make myself do things I want to do.

So one of the things I've always really wanted to do is make a beauty/fashion/lifestyle blog. I've never felt like I was good enough at these things to offer my opinions to world and that didn't suddenly change just because I've started this blog. I've just realized that most everybody feels the same way and if I enjoy posting these there shouldn't be anything stopping me. I'm an overthinker and I'm hyper critical. That is why a lot of my projects don't get finished. Thanks to a recent Casey Neistat video (link in the header) I'm going to strive to close instead of perfection.

Another big part of me becoming a closer is to update my YouTube Channel weekly. I've been so bad at this for the past almost three years that I've had my channel. So I'm going to put perfection aside and strive for good because the more you do something the better you get at. I've given myself a task of posting videos every Monday. I've already started the filming process for this Monday's video. I went out filming with my best friend, who is starting a channel also. I think her presence on YouTube will help me become a closer. I'm looking forward to this adventure with her.

This is my first post and I may look back in a week's time and decided it isn't perfect but I need to remind myself that it is good enough and it is finished. I closed.
