From the moment you stepped into The Washington Music Theatre (WAMU) you could feel the elegance and magic that is Resolution Festival. With beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and gorgeous design of the first stage you see, it was already hard to accept that I’d eventually have to leave. Continue Reading

While speeding down I-5, I began to think to myself, “Do I have enough questions for Andrew Rayel?”, “Will he think these are stupid?”, “What if I mess up?!” Out of the three, I was right about two of them: I definitely had a lot to talk about with Andrew Rayel and I definitely jumbled up my words at one point while interviewing him.

The more intimate EDC took place on November 10 and 11 at Tinker Field. This year, Insomniac changed the layout including more space to host 3 stages, the Boombox Artcar, and more stunning art installations! While there was definitely a lot more space to dance, it was still intimate, which is what I love most about EDCO.

Hosted by Global Dance Events, Decadence Colorado sits at the top of my list for best places to spend New Year’s. The two-day show is a great time and you’ll be sure to find plenty of trouble to get into before, during after the event. Right in the heart of Downtown Denver, the Colorado Convention center is in the midst of city-life and within walking or uber-ing distance to your hotel. Surrounded by tons of fun bars and great food, you won’t regret starting your 2018 in this majestic city. (They don’t call it ColoRADo for nothin’!)

Saying Decadence was actually magical is an understatement. Everybody was SO nice, especially when they found out it was my first show. When the balloons dropped at midnight, it literally felt like real magic and I never wanted the night to end. And to this day, it's one of the best nights of my life.

Somewhere along the dark hours of my internet life, an ad for “revolutionary” magnetic false lashes appeared.... with a price tag of $70 and a 4 week wait list.

I’m someone who 90% of the time is wearing false lashes at events, and constantly wishing I had the patience to put them on every single day. I love the look of full lashes and I haven’t found a mascara to do it for me. I’m also a little afraid of eyelash extensions, so I’ve avoided looking into those too much.

Therefore, magnetic false lashes seemed like a great idea, so I decided to try them out for all of you and here are the results!

Wow. Escape. I seriously was blown away this weekend with how much fun this event was... I mean, I’d heard all good things, but really it was so much better than I ever thought....

A lot of people outside the rave community ask me what it means to be PLUR, how people express it, and basically, what PLUR is in general. Frequently, I find myself explaining that PLUR can be anything from doing random acts of kindness to letting the people you love know that you love them.

Although it can be conveyed and experienced in our everyday lives, there's nothing like those moments when you're at a festival where you truly feel the meaning of PLUR.

Looking back on the fourth year of Imagine Music Festival, only good memories and excitement for next year come to mind. Out of all of the festivals on the east coast – Imagine takes the cake. The energy was high all weekend long, both at the event and surrounding the campsites. Every hour of every day you could find live music and great people just waiting to share an experience of a lifetime with you!
