Music Picks of the Week

Check out these tunes for a great week!

"Best Mistake" - Ariana Grande feat. Big Sean

This is the song you're going to want to listen to after a breakup! Also props to Big Sean for the most empowering verse (most likely due to his recent breakup with Glee star Naya Rivera)

"Let It Go" - James Bay

If you haven't already realized, I'm kind of obsessed with Ed Sheeran, and this upcoming artist has a similar sound and feel to him, so of course, I'm hooked.

"OctaHate" - Ryn Weaver

I don't even know where to begin...I LOVE this song!

"Work It Out" - Knox Hamilton

This catchy tune will be stuck in your head all day (and it's not at all a bad thing).

"2 On" - Tinashe feat. Schoolboy Q

I heard this song on the radio the other day, and I haven't stopped listening since. Such a throwback to Cassie's "Me & You!"

"Gimme Something Good" - Ryan Adams

The music video was just released this week, but the song has been on my MVP list for weeks!

"Black Widow" - Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora

Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't mess with Iggy or Rita.

Music Picks of the Week

Check out these tunes for a great start to your weekend.

"Bang Bang" - Ariana Grande feat. Jessie J & Nicki Minaj

I will never stop listening to this song! Girl power right here!

"Back Home" - Andy Grammer

Such a fun song! I just want to blast this at the beach.

"Runaway" - sELF

She said lets dance 'til the world explodes and the fifty-foot speakers reach overload. Also awesome cat video!

"Chains" - Nick Jonas
This is the best song from a JoBro that I never knew I needed!

"Seven Nation Army" - The White Stripes

I recently revisited this song, and now I can't stop listening to it. I can't believe I forgot how great it is. Also this was apparently the boy cabin's song at sleep away camp years ago.

"One For the Money" - Escape the Fate

This isn't a song I listen to or probably ever will, but I recently took a little beach vacation with a friend last week, and this is basically one of his favorite songs. So here's a dedication to him, and this will totally get stuck in your head (#sorrynotsorry).

"Flawless (Remix)" - Beyonce feat. Nicki Minaj

I have been playing this on repeat since Sunday. Bey, PLEASE put this on iTunes so I can buy it!

This Yoga is Hot, Hot, Hot!

On my most recent excursion to Austin, TX, I decided to try things that I've never done before. Well, one of the experiences is the Hot Yoga class that I attended with my best friend. She is a member of Wonderlust Yoga (located in Downtown Austin), and she invited me to join her one day. Of course, as a health enthusiast, I accepted her offer, and we went to an afternoon class. As a pilates regular, I figured that I would be able to easily catch on to all the yoga moves. However, I was wrong. My first piece of advice is to attend a beginners yoga class before trying hot yoga because the class moves very quick. I have never seen myself glisten in so much sweat before. My second tip is to bring a big towel because you will be wiping your body off the whole time. Even though I was cursing in my head most the time due to the fact that I was hot and couldn't manage most of the poses, when the class was over, I felt as though I shed a layer of me and turned into a new person. I don't see myself going to another hot yoga class anytime soon, but I'm glad that I got the opportunity to try it out.
