The Magic of Everyday Life ✨

| Hreem
(This is one of the sunrises that I mention later in the post)

Helllooo guys

Please excuse my extremely long absence (I am quite ashamed don’t worry), I’ve just had tons of tests and assignments and events and the SAT so… yeah. It’s a lot.

Other than all the work though, this year has been pretty fun so far. I mean I’ve hung out with my friends significantly more than I did last year and I would consider that a big win.

ALSO Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour a week ago and I have never been more jealous of anyone than I am of the people who get to go to the tour. From the videos I’ve seen so far, the outfits are gorgeous, the production is actually incredible (the visuals ohmy and the transition from Don’t Blame Me to Look What You Made Me Do is so … wow), the setlist is perfect (she missed a few icons but I’ll live) and yeah it’s just so amazing. I wanna go.

Anyways, let’s get to the topic of this blog post. I recently saw a post on Pinterest or something where the person was listing some small moments in their life that made them happy and called it “the magic of everyday life” and I thought that was super cute so here is me listing small things in my life at the moment that make me very happy:

  • Going to get ice cream on a random Tuesday (it feels more special when it’s not on the weekend)
  • Seeing a really pretty sunrise when I go for a morning run (on the rare occasion that I decide to go)
  • Listening to music while walking to school in the morning and feeling like the main character
  • Seeing this one specific stray cat who walks with me as I make my way back from school
  • When it’s a special day or something (like Valentine’s day) so me and my friends bring chocolate to school for each other
  • Wearing fancy perfume on a normal day (there’s just something about it)
  • Doing good on a test I thought I failed (spent a whole lesson holding back tears for what)
  • Studying for a bio test at Starbucks with my friend Yana
  • Having some hot chocolate (my favourite thing ever)
  • Finding a new song that I love so much I want to listen to it on repeat for days
  • Going out with my friends (or just hanging out with my friends in general)
  • Drinking peppermint tea with my mom every night before sleeping (doing that as we speak)
  • Eating peanut M&Ms
  • Wearing an outfit + doing my hair and maybe makeup and feeling very pretty

I actually thoroughly enjoyed writing that list, it made me romanticise my life a bit more instead of focusing on all the negatives (like the assignments I’m blissfully avoiding right now so I can write this blog post). So I recommend you do the same once in a while and do the things on your list more often (if they’re in your control of course, you can’t really force a pretty sunrise).

So, as always, talk to me in the comments!! Tell me some small things in your everyday life that make you happy. I think the concept is so cute and sweet so I’d love to read what you have to say too 🫶🏼

Song rec. of the post: Mess It Up by Gracie Abrams. I randomly remembered that this song exists like a few weeks ago and have been listening to it constantly since. I really love this song because the chorus feels so dramatic to listen to and sing along to. I also really love the bridge and how the two parts layer over each other at the end. All in all, it makes me feel like I’m in a movie so GO listen to it and let me know what you think 😚

Love,

Underrated Artists You Need to Listen To

| Hreem

hey guyssss!!!

How are you all?? I hope you’re doing greattt ☺️

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m kind of in love with music and will force my favourite songs onto you no matter what (with kindnesss, obviously). And recently I’ve been recommending a lot of songs by artists that are lesser known or very underrated so I decided to share these very cool talented people with you guys!

I even put the links for the songs that I like especially for you so you can listen to them super quick.

I’m starting with Abigail because she is a QUEEEEN. If you’ve been on TikTok a lot lately you’ll probably know her from the ‘If Bridgerton Was a Musical’ concept (which has super great songs that you’ll love even if you haven’t watched Bridgerton, like me). But she’s literally a popstar and has such a good voice and writes all of her songs. Lol I don’t know what else to say about her except that she writes awesome hype songs that you would dance to if we could party right now. I mean you could always have a party in your room, by yourself.

My fav songs: Future Ex, Nobody Cares, Where’s That Girl? (where’s that girl is so goood)

Finneas

finneas

Next is FINNEAS because he is also extremely awesome. I think he is pretty known but still underrated. For anyone who doesn’t know, he is Billie Eilish’s brother and co-writes and produces all of her songs, and he’s also produced and written with/for artists like Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello so he’s quite cool. The fact that he’s an amazing songwriter, amazing producer and amazing singer just blows my mind. His style is more alternative pop, I feel like, but I’m telling you, his songwriting and song concepts are wayyyy too good.

My fav songs: Claudia, I Don’t Miss You At All, Let’s Fall in Love for the Night, American Cliché

Now we have a very fun girl group named Boys World. If you’re wondering why they’re called Boys World when they’re all girls it’s because ‘boys’ stands for ‘best of yourself’ and then I think it was also for irony? Kinda remember them saying that? Anyways, they all have unique voices, harmonize suuuper well and are good dancers.  They were actually just formed I think a year and a half ago so they only have two songs out at the moment but wouldn’t it be nice to say you knew them before they got big?

My fav songs: Girlfriends, Wingman

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter! Her songs are genuinely good pop songs that would definitely be super big if more people heard them. They aren’t cheesy songs that you might think she’d make because of her Disney background, she has grown up and so has her music. Plus her vocals??? I didn’t expect her to be that good, but she is, so go listen.

My fav songs: Bad Time, Almost Love, Sue Me, Paris

Gracie Abrams

And lastly we have Gracie Abramssss. Her songs are more soft songs, compared to the rest of the artists above. It’s more like bedroom pop (I think that’s what you would call it yikes). She has a really nice voice that is kind of raspy at times and that sounds so good 😭 Her voice and her songwriting style make her songs feel a lot more personal which I really love!
My fav songs: Friend, 21, Mean It

Tadaaaaaa.

Those are the 5 smaller-ish artists I think deserve more.

I beg beg beg beg you to listen to them. PLEASEEE. Listen to any one or two (or all 😉) of the artists and you have to lemme know what you think, that would make my day. Please. You won’t regret it, I’m telling you.

Okay that’s it 🙂 Tell me in the comments which singers you like that you think are very underrated, or even a singer that’s already popular but you think still deserve more recognition. I’d loooove to hear your recommendations 💖

Love, Hreem xx
