Meeting John Stamos at Books & Greetings in New Jersey! // "If You Would Have Told Me" Book Signing

-

Have mercy! My dad and I had the best experience meeting John Stamos in Northvale, New Jersey! He had book signing at Books & Greetings to celebrate the release of his new memoir, If You Would Have Told Me*. I am such a big fan of his and it was such a dream getting to meet him! My favorite show for basically my entire life has been Full House, I could easily quote every single episode of it if I had to! Uncle Jesse has always been my favorite character and I never thought I would get to meet him! 


Books & Greetings is a great independent bookstore located in Northvale, NJ. This was our first time there, but it was such a great experience and I look forward to visiting again one day! It was a two hour drive to get there and it was so worth it. They host so many author meet & greets at their store, so I highly recommend checking them out! 

Sometimes the books are signed in person depending on the number of tickets sold, but since there was over 1400 people there, the books were pre-signed on an insert to save time. They also had a professional photographer there too, so it was all a very efficient process. Even though there were so many tickets sold, they kept it all so organized and the line went pretty quickly. All of the staff and the other fans waiting outside were so nice too, everyone was so happy coming out of the store!



We eventually got called in to the store and it was such an amazing experience! My dad and I wore matching Jesse and the Rippers shirts that we got years ago in a New York City comic book store called Forbidden Planet. When we were a couple of people back in the line, John turned around and winked at me and gave a peace sign and said, "Yeahhh rock on!" when he saw our shirts haha! 

When it was our turn to go up and get a picture, he was so nice and had the biggest smile. You can really tell how naturally charismatic and friendly he is just in that quick moment; it was everything I hoped it would be and more! He was still so energetic even after meeting almost a thousand people by that point! I also told him I'm such a big fan and love Full House so much. John was beyond nice and shook our hands said how cool it was to meet us!

We were lucky to have taken so many pictures with him too, I love how they turned out! What an unforgettable experience! 

Thanks for reading! I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below! Be sure to check out John's new memoir If You Would Have Told Me* and support your local indie bookstores!

5 Seconds of Summer // 10 Year Anniversary of their self-titled debut album + rare 2014 Record Store Day picture disc vinyl!

Simmer down, simmer down! It's hard to believe that it has already been ten years since 5 Seconds of Summer released their self-titled debut album! They have been one of my favorite bands for so many years and I have the most amazing memories attached to this music. I have loved hearing all of the ways their sound evolved and matured with each new release to follow. 5 Seconds of Summer made history as the first debut album by an Australian band to reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - what a cool accomplishment for four teenagers to achieve! Their debut album also spawned a few of the biggest hits of their career. The lead single, "She Looks So Perfect" is still among their most recognizable hits, which is also how I first discovered them too. They released a few EPs and singles prior to that song, but "She Looks So Perfect" was their first massive international hit. I was immediately hooked! It is still such a great song and will never get old for me. &quo

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again

Shadow of the City 2024 // Bleachers Live in Asbury Park, NJ

I'll take you out of the city, right into the shadow 🍅 I recently had the best time seeing one of my favorite bands, Bleachers , live in Jack Antonoff 's home state of New Jersey ! This year marked the sixth Shadow of the City event, which is always held at The Stone Pony's Summer Stage in Asbury Park, NJ. I grew up going to Asbury Park with my family and have seen a couple of shows inside the legendary venue, but I have never seen a show outside at their bigger Summer Stage. I have also never been to a festival like this before, so it was very exciting that this was my first!  Shadow of the City is a festival founded by Jack Antonoff and is usually held just about every other year or so. His band, Bleachers , is always the headliner but there were also several other amazing artists that played throughout the day too. When the event was announced, it was just Bleachers on the lineup, with the rest of the artists being announced much later. Some of the artists that were ev

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman * is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman * is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish // Album Review

-

Listening to  HIT ME HARD AND SOFT   for the first time truly felt like witnessing the birth of a modern classic. No matter how many times I listen to this record, I am still so blown away by it. This album as a whole is so unique, it's impossible to put it into one category or genre, which is recurring throughout all of Billie and Finneas ' work. To put them in one box musically would be doing a disservice to the incredible range of influences and masterfully crafted sound they have worked to create all these years. I shared a similar sentiment in my review of Billie's debut album , but it rings even more true now.  As always, this album written, recorded and produced solely by Billie and her older brother Finneas. They are just unstoppable together; I feel so lucky to be able to experience the genius of their music in real-time. This album pulls inspiration from parts of her previous work in some aspects, especially her first album, but at the same time it is so singular
