Currently - March

This month brought back Daylight Savings Time and even though it was rough going that first week I’m actually loving it. I’d been counting down the minutes to longer days, and brisk weather. Everything turns green around here, and I can leave the windows open all day. There’s nothing quite like having fresh air traveling throughout your home on a sunny day. This also means that in the next two weeks or so I’ll be doing another one of my deep cleanings. I’ll be getting rid of a bunch of shoes, clothes, and items we don’t use/need. I’ll probably do another round of donations to the local “lending libraries” too. So, I’m definitely ready to get all of this going soon. But for today, let’s get into the "currently" post for the month!

Playing:  Y’all, I have a serious musical crush on Billie Eilish. She’s been in the music scene for a while now, and in case you didn’t know she’s only seventeen years old. Her first single, “Ocean Eyes” was written when she was fourteen I believe. She’s released several singles, and one EP so far. Her full-length album is due out on March 29th. Her sound is very unique, slightly unexpected, and man can she hit some notes. What I think I like most about her is how open and upfront she is about her changing sound. In fact, she’s even talked about that being a goal for her career. For such a young person she seems to be very aware of herself and very accepting of change. Growth. I think that’s really cool and very rare to see in this day and age. I highly recommend that you check her out if you haven’t already heard of her. One of my favorite songs would be “&burn (w/Vince Staples)”. Emery, on the other hand, is a big fan of her song “COPYCAT”. 

Reading: Nothing. I’ve been in one heck of a slump. I tried reading a few books recently, but they’ve all sat unfinished. I also bought “A Discovery of Witches”, but have yet to start it. Not sure what’s going on in this area, but I just haven’t felt up to reading lately. I feel like I go through this every couple of years so I guess it’s that time again. Maybe next month I'll have something good to offer in this section? 

Watching: Back at the end of February I saw this promo on Instagram for the show “Good Girls”. I had previously seen trailers for it, but it didn’t ever catch my attention. That promo though...? WHOA. Suddenly, I needed to know this story. I needed to see what was up with all of that sexual tension. So, I binge-watched the whole first season over on Netflix within one weekend. And y’all, it was so good! The plot: Three suburban mothers suddenly find themselves in desperate circumstances and decide to stop playing it safe and risk everything to take their power back. Based off of this description it doesn’t seem that interesting, I know, which is why I was originally not that interested in it. But don’t let that tiny little description fool you like it did me. The show incorporates several of today’s issues and gives us a nice dose of comedy as well. And that eye candy, whose real name is Manny Montana, is just so mesmerizing to watch. There’s just something so sexy about that “bad boy” vibe and swagger that he gives off in every scene. And he’s not even getting that much screen time per episode either. I hope they change this in the future. But I think what’s most appealing about this show is the bond between these three women. They are there for each other, always. Even when they have arguments they always find their way back. And during the hard times, they support each other. The friendship that the women in this show portray is how I feel female friendships should be in real life. Obviously, without the illegal stuff but hey, no judgment. So, I’ve been hooked on “Good Girls” ever since. You can currently stream all of season one over on Netflix. The second season, which is airing now, is on Sunday nights at 10/9c over on NBC. If you aren't able to catch it live, Hulu has the current season available. 

And that concludes the currently for this month. If you have any other suggestions be sure to drop me a line either on here or any of my other social media pages. Links are all at the top. I'm always on the lookout for new artists, films, or books so I'm totally open to recommendations. Until the next post, Happy Monday folks!
