Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 16 (which by the way is my favorite and lucky number), we are talking about the 90s, baby. I was born in 1990 and even though I arguably spent many years as a baby in the decade, I feel very drawn to and nostalgic for the 90s- the music, the movies, the TV shows, the fashion and decor, the VIBES- I love it all! I am absolutely a 90s gal. I can’t wait to dive in. Today we are going to cover:-My favorite 90s trends, favorite pop culture moments and favorite personal memories of the 1990s.-A tiered list: Top 3 best 90s movies, top 3 90s cartoons, and top 3 songs of the 90s-And last, If my childhood was a 90s sitcom, what would the show be called? Who would play who in the cast? What would be the log line, and what would happen in the pilot episode?+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Blue Sushi order: vegan tofu lettuce wraps, vegan veggie roll, crunchy cabbage roll, yellowtail serrano, cherry bomb, Philadelphia roll with raw salmonInspo for silver frame with stonesBernard Buffet art book- it's priced at $850 on this site?!?!

For the music playlist for Episode 12 on Spotify, click here! :)Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 12 we are talking about one of my favorite topics, something that connects people across the world, quite literally one of the top handful of things that gets me out of bed in the morning: MUSIC. Today we are getting INTO it:-My music memory lane-Defining and exploring a phenomenon called "collective effervescence"- and how this plays into the shows, concerts and musical experiences where I have felt the most connected to myself, to artists, to others, and quite literally to what life is all about. I’ll tell you about my all-time favorite shows and what I hope to catch next-A very specific playlist with very specific songs for very specific things. I have made a playlist you can listen to on Spotify, or check out on my website, where I have tied songs to very specific human experiences. Everything from the song that most feels like your first drink at an airport bar before you board your flight to vacation, to the song that feels like falling in love.Special thanks to professional musician, educator, and sick ass drummer/percussionist Ethan Baxley for contributing to today's episode!MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Episode 12 Spotify playlistHogwart's house quizRick Astley live mashup of his Take me to your Heart, and Rhianna's We Found LoveCat's Cradle Back RoomThis Must Be the Place by The Talking HeadsJust by Lane 8Whenever you Need Somebody by Rick AstleySafe By Bay LedgesThe Dress Looks Nice on You by Sufjan StevensAnother Case by ToraFood Around and Fell in Love by Elvin BishopEcho Arms by Mr Twin SisterCool Girl by Tove Lo- Remixed by Nora En PureThat Feeling by MatchyAcid Raindrops by People Under the Stairs

Hey there! Thanks for tuning into Bedtime Snack! Today on Episode 9, we are doing our end of the month taste test! A true, actual bedtime snack. Before you turn the episode off, as I always say, I swear I’ve edited out and turned the volume down on the majority of chewing noises. But that being said this episode will have a faint ASMR quality to it. Today, we are taste testing: Girl Scout Cookies. I purchased these back in February and then went on podcast hiatus, so girl scout cookie season is over, but this taste test may provide you important information for next season and help you curate your future perfect cookie combo.Speaking of curation, today we are also talking about…curating your personal style! I am so excited to get into this. Today we will talk about:What style means to me- my personal definition of personal style, if I had to name my own style what I would call it, and my style philosophyTrends I am loving and the ones I am skippingWhere I shop, brands I like, and favorite items in my closet+++MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Microplane grater for tomatoMicroplane zester / OXO zester for garlicButterfly ombre hair clipsButterfly white frosted hair clipsButterfly gradient color hair clipsHatch alarm clockKourtney Kardashian interrupts Kim during deep convo to explain that buttered dates with sea salt make a great snackButterfly Season By Ella LangleyCourtney GrowRachel SolomonJelly shoes- Old Navy (sold out- similar here); Weeboo brand (cannot find online weirdly, here is a similar style to mine)Artdillo Eclectic jewelry, bag charms, etc!Episode 3: Thrifting and Buying SecondhandClare VCoachCoach Ashton shoulder bag with newsprint leather- sold out but can find secondhand!Naked WardrobeTierra of Copper Butterfly Collective Rose and Thorn Armory (makers of my leather corset for the Ren Festival)Anthropologie Lucia tiered skirtAnthropologie daily practice sweatpantsChampion sweat shorts- similarCoachtopia Ergo cherry purse
