I’ve been replaying their song “Jackie Onassis” consistently. Their use of blues & jazz inspired instruments feels like coming home. Sammy Rae’s unique and clean tone layers perfectly with the brass horns and piano used on the track.
The film adaptation of DC’s Blue Beetle is a must watch. It discusses the racial implications of being a poor Mexican family in the US through the acquisition of superpowers. It’s hilarious and historically important.
Reneé Rapp is a singer/songwriter whose newly released Snow Angel album has been playing in my ears constantly. She mixes beautiful lyricism with punky, melodic, and gorgeously sung songs.
Tupper’s deep and smooth tone paired with jazzy instruments just feels correct. Her song, “She Said”, is my favorite and twinkles in my mind often. She’s unique, while feeling familiar from her use of classic instruments and beat.
This newer Disney film, which yes is for children, brings a diverse animated cast to the screen. We see people with differing hair textures, body sizes, sexualities, and more. I loved the inclusion and important environmental message of the plot.
Lizzy is a singer songwriter I come back to every fall. She is a mix of pop, folk, and creates her own genre completely. Her lyrics shine and I highly recommend you give her a listen.
SZA’s new album SOS is incredible! A lot of her new songs have been circulating TikTok (as they should), but listening to the artistry of her entire album is another experience entirely.

This app has made guided meditation and mindfulness incredibly interesting, easy, and impactful. I’ve used it for years. Sarah Blondin is one of my favorites.
This daily act keeps me aware of my mind, body, and spirit. I’m able to have a secret world of my own and share every thought & feeling. My future self may forget my day to day life, but my journal never will.
Aavia is a period tracker app run by women for women. I understand my cycle much more and keep track of symptoms that happen every month. I love the ease of using this app and supporting women by using it.
Sit in your thoughts, feel what comes up, and breathe through it all. Sitting in a quiet mediative state sets up my day and keeps me sane, without it my emotions and thoughts run ramped, leaving me reactive. Meditate, please.
Drinking vegetable broth pods in a mug has been the highlight of my winter. It’s healed a coming sickness countless times for me and my roommates. It’s warm and so soothing! Please try it.
