Ins

Docheii becoming the fashion IT girl.

Dsquared2 has always been that girl. But with Doechii, herself, opening the runway to her own Nissan Altima. She looks fierce and flawless. Her walk was on point. This was her moment. And then, with the help of JT, Doechii closed the show with a performance of Alter Ego. How do you say iconic? After closing out Milan Fashion Week with Dsquared2, she took her world tour to Paris where she attended several shows including Acne Studio, Chloe, Tom Ford, and Louis Vuitton. And her stylist, Sam Woolf, has turned Doechii into a fashion IT girl in a matter of one fashion week. We knew she had game but Paris Fashion Week was next level. Hats off to The Swamp Princess.

Morning showers.

Now, I do love the feeling of going to bed completely clean, but let me make my case for morning showers. First, I don't know about you but I'm a rough sleeper so my hair looks insane in the morning. My nice post-shower hair gets ruined from a good night's sleep, before I even get to show it off. Second, showers are my favorite way to start my morning. It wakes me up and makes me feel good physically and mentally. I feel clean and have been productive. And who doesn't love a good hair day?

Rediscovering your childhood hobbies.

Our twenties are for rediscovering our childhood hobbies. Or at least that's what I'm learning. I keep saying this but 8-year-old Jordan was onto something when she colored, blogged, and played video games. In this crazy world, we are just trying to find the little joys. I may be regressing but I think 21-year-old Jordan is onto something.

So Close To What? by Tate McRae.

I have loved Tate McRae for a great many years, and listening to her new album, So Close To What?, I truly believe she is headed to superstardom. The lyrics. The production. The vocals. The visuals. Everything is perfection. I've listened to the album about 10 times through already. Every song is amazing, but I have to say my favorites are Revolving door, Purple lace bra, Dear god, and bloodonmyhands (ft. Flo Milli). I love that bloodonmyhands (ft. Flo Milli) brings back the pop song with a rap verse in the middle format. So nostalgic. Anyway. Stream So Close To What? by Tate McRae!

Outs

Winter Weather.

I think we can all agree that we are over winter weather. The cold. The dark. Over it! Goodbye seasonal depression! Hello Hot Girl Summer! Seriously, after one warm day in February, I realized I'd been dead inside for months. Thank goodness the sun is setting past 6pm and the first day of spring is next week! Bring on the warm weather!

Bobs (hairstyle).

You may think I'm a bit off my rocker for beefing with a hairstyle but currently, I have a bob. Well, I'm starting to grow it out because I hate it so much. I considered getting extensions, that's how much I hate my bob. I thought it would look good on me and it did...for a day when the hairdresser blew it out. But I'm no hairdresser. I can barely use my Revlon brush for Pete's sake! And to be honest, the bob doesn't look horrible. It just isn't my best hairstyle. It doesn't help that I don't style it much as bobs are meant to be styled (learned that after I cut my hair). I yearn for my long hair. I will never take it for granted again. But in the meantime, maybe I'll pick up the Revlon brush and learn a thing or two.

Spotify generated playlists.

Now, I like a Spotify playlist as much as the next person but recently, they have been flopping big time. And maybe my frustration is coming from the fact that my daylist can't produce the exact playlist I need in the moment, but Spotify must do better, especially after their 2024 Wrapped was marginal. Lay off the AI and use real people's ideas. I beg you.

Anxiety

No, I'm not talking Doechii's new single. I'm talking about the good old mental illness. Miss Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Recently, it's been running me ragged. Every time I try to do anything, it paralyzes me. It's so frustrating to feel this way. But I see my psychiatrist tomorrow, and as overwhelming as it is, I'm no longer going to let it stop me from reaching my goals. It's no longer going to be tolerated in this house.
