Hey guys! It's been a while since any big albums have come out, so I wanted to discuss some that are expected to be released in the near future.


 The first one is Taylor Swift's. Her album was expected to have come out in October of 2016 but considering that October will be over in less than a week, I doubt that will happen. Ever since her first album, she has always released a new one every other October but I guess this was her year to play games with us! Apparently she didn't promote this album because she thought it would be a top seller regardless. She's trying to pull a Beyonce! Only Beyonce can do a Beyonce! I mean, her album probably would've sold a ton of copies anyway, but I feel like she's being sneaky. If she doesn't promote it, then no one can hold it against her if the album wasn't finished on time because she never promised anything.

I'm kind of scared for her to release a new album, though. Only because her last one was so amazing! I've loved all of her songs, but her image has changed drastically when compared to what it was around the beginning of her career. That's not a bad thing, but because of this, all of her albums have been different. I feel like she hasn't changed very much since her 1989 album, so I'm worried that her new songs will be disappointing. I'm sure they'll be great, but I still have some doubts! Sorry Taylor!


The second album I want to talk about is Bridgit Mendlers's! It is scheduled to be released November 18th and I'm so excited! "Hello My Name Is" killed me because it was so good! Her sound is so different but so incredible! An EP entitled "Atlantis" was recently released to help promote her new album. If you haven't heard it yet, put your life on hold for a few minutes and listen to it! When I first heard it, I liked it but I couldn't believe that it was her. She sounds so grown up now! It's insane! I just can't even put into words how incredible of an artist she is. Her songs are very relate-able and they just make you feel good about life and yourself. And she doesn't even have to sing about the dirty! She left Disney Channel as an innocent person and she stayed that way! I'm so proud of her and can't wait to watch her career develop even more!


The last album I would like to discuss hasn't been confirmed but I think we can all agree that this artist needs to release one soon... Nicki Minaj!!! It seems like her Pinkprint album was just released, but it has been almost two years! She hasn't really been taking a break from music because she is always featured in songs or coming out with remixes, but it's time for her to grace us with another of her insanely amazing albums. She oozes talent, and I just need some new songs to diss the haters and boost myself.
These are the albums that I'm most excited about right now! If you're not as eager as I am about any of them, you need to try again!

Let me know in the comments which album you are most looking forward to and let me know your thoughts on Taylor's upcoming album. Will it be a hit?

Hey guys! I'm guest posting today from my blog Somewhere Just Above Average! I post every Wednesday and Saturday so please come and follow my blog for the best advice, fashion, music, media and just my opinion on topics! 

It's finally October! My favorite time of the year! Which means Halloween is right around the corner! As you might be able to tell, Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love all things spooky and scary! Plus free candy and costumes! How could you not like Halloween? 

But if your having trouble this year picking out you're costume then here are 5 choices to think about down below! 



1. Disney: Maleficent and Gaston

Disney characters are probably the most fun to dress up as! But everyone does the same old princesses and princes... so dress up as Disney villains for a change!  

Gaston is a great character for guys who have a nice body. All you need is a black wig, red shirt and green pants and there you go! (It would also help to have a fake gun and maybe a beer bottle) and who knows maybe you will find you're Belle this Halloween night!

Maleficent is the queen of all the Disney Villains! So it only suits that you dress up like her ladies. Black horns, a long black robe and a matching staff, who wouldn't want to be the sassy, powerful and beautiful Maleficent?!












2. Celebrity: Kylie Jenner and Harry Styles



For those of you who like to dress up like celebrities, might I suggest Kylie Jenner and Harry Styles? Kylie Jenner is queen of fashion with her makeup line and stylish fashion tips while Harry Styles is the cute British boy taking a break from the music world to join a career in acting. Both are very successful in their careers and are two of the hottest young celebrities in pop culture right now so why not dress up like them? Just pick your favorite Kylie and Harry phase and have fun impersonating them. Who knows? Maybe people will actually believe you're really them!


3. DIY: Starbucks Coffee Cup? Flander from Simpsons? 

Being creative is what makes Halloween fun! Always trying to think outside of the box to create a costume that no one else would have or simply trying to create a costume out of household items. Ever thought of being a Starbucks coffee cup? Very simple to do and can look great if done correctly. But what about Flander from the Simpsons? All you need is yellow face paint, a fake mustache and the right hairstyle and I'm sure you will get some good laughs throughout the night. 



4. Group: Wizard of Oz

Group costumes to me are the most fun! Just having a bunch of people commit to something is exciting because the results are always amazing. An old classic Halloween group costume that never goes out of style is the Wizard of Oz! Depending on how big your group is, you can substitute many different characters like Dorthy, Tinman, Lion, Scarecrow, Glinda, Witch of the West, Flying Monkey's, the Wizard of Oz, and even the little munchkin people! But don't forget Todo!



5. Most Popular: Harley Quinn and the Joker

Last but not least let me introduce the King and Queen of Gotham City! The Joker and Harley Quinn! Since the popular movie Suicide Squad premiered early this August, these two characters are surely going to be the most dressed up characters of the year. (Especially Harley Quinn...) So why not join the craze! 





Well that's it! I hope everyone is just as excited for Halloween this year as me! It kind of sucks because it's on a Monday this year but I guess that's okay... Of course if you're grown up like me (meaning trick or treating is off limits...) show off your costumes at some fun Halloween Parties this year! (Halloween Parties are better than trick or treating anyway... especially when people wear the sexy versions of costumes...) But I do advise you to watch out for clowns. This year is not the year to dress up or trust clowns for the matter... you never know if they're going to give you candy or stab you in the chest so I would just avoid them altogether... #clownsightings 

Hey guys! For my post today I'd like to talk about something that hasn't been all over the news, but I think it's a pretty interesting topic.

Have ya'll heard that Bella Thorne is now dating a guy named Tyler Posey???? They were rumored to have been dating back in 2015, but they both denied it. Now there is a picture of them kissing, so it's hard to keep it a secret now. Supposedly it's not that serious and they're just "testing the waters". But I swear she just posted that Instagram video of her kissing a girl like last week! I'm confused. First of all, she broke up with Gregg Sulkin who is so adorable! And she was always posting cute snap-chats of them together, so this really took me by surprise.

 Then she claims to be dating her brothers ex-girlfriend, and now she's back with a guy?! How can she do us like that??
.
I mean I don't hate Bella but she needs to calm down. Coming out as bi isn't just a random thing you say when you're bored. I feel like she said it so loosely. I mean literally some guy tweeted her asking if she was bi, and all she responded with was "yes".

Maybe she just said she was bi so she could test both sides of the playing field and not have to deal with everyone freaking out. She's only 19, so I guess she has the right to have fun and just be a teenager. But my neck hurts from all these whiplashes!

It's hard being a celebrity because everyone always knows your business, but that's just how it is. Also, Tyler is really good friends with Gregg! They did him dirty!Gregg needs to tell Tyler that he can try again!!

Well, sorry this post is so short but neither one of them are giving away much information about their relationship status. Comment below how you feel about this topic. Do ya'll like Tyler or are you still holding onto the idea of Bella and Gregg?

Don't forget to like this post and follow me for more gossip, news and discussions! Thanks for reading and check out my blog Thursday for another post!

   1. Buzzfeed
Buzzfeed videos are always a great idea! This channel features a wide variety of videos that contain topics over anything you can think of. There are three different teams on Buzzfeed-yellow, violet, and blue. Each team creates different types of videos. Buzzfeed yellow contains hilarious social segments along with DIYs that aim to entertain and inform. Buzzfeed violet involves content that may be a little awkward to discuss, but is very relate-able and honest. The final team is Buzzfeed blue, which focuses on important life experiences as well as educating and inspiring the audience to be themselves and try new things. Each respective color features basically the same staff, so you will be able to make a connection with them, making it easier to stay interested in their channel.

   2. Jenna Marbles
Originally starting out with the blog BarStool Sports, Jenna's popularity skyrocketed after she posted a video called " How to Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking". Because it was an instant hit, it led her to start focusing on her own YouTube channel. She is a fun, outgoing person who gives advice, tells hilarious stories, and informs about relate-able topics. Her videos are for all genders, even though her stories may be more popular among females because we understand what she's talking about. Go check her out, especially if you love to laugh!

   3. Raw Alignment
This is an unusual YouTube channel for me to watch because I've never watched one that is so focused on a personal lifestyle, but this girl is really interesting to me. Her name is Alyse, and she is a 22 year old raw vegan who creates videos about self-love, her diet, fitness, and minimalist living. Her channel is very upbeat, and it's pretty fascinating to learn about her points of view and her way of life. She lives in Hawaii, so it's easy to understand why she's always in a great mood! Watch her channel for some encouragement and a positive atmosphere.




Well, those are my suggestions! Comment below which of the three you like the best, or just let me know which YouTube channel in general is your favorite. And if you're just going to ignore my suggestions, you can try again!

So I know this has been going on for a while but I haven't spoken out on it so here we go. The clowns! This is a controversial topic because some people believe that America is being purged by clowns while others think it's all a giant prank. I don't even know how all of this got started but it has definitely gone too far! Schools are being closed due to threats and people are afraid to go out at night for fear of being shanked!!

Perhaps the first clown was a real threat, but now I think it's been turned into a game. The clowns find it humorous to mentally scar the children of America, and some teenagers are going out in groups searching for the clowns to show it who's boss. Honestly, this whole thing is ridiculous because the majority of these "clown sightings" are staged or a prank. Even when the sightings seem real and the clowns start to chase people, you can hear them laughing as they're running away! I don't know about ya'll but if I were being chased by a murderous clown, you can bet your grand-mama's biscuits that I would not be enjoying it! And if the clowns really did pose a threat, I feel like more of them would be caught. If I ever saw one, I would give the cops the exact longitude and latitude of it's location to make sure that clown was arrested!

When people really do find a clown, they pull out their phone and wait until it sees and starts chasing them before they realize that they're in danger. I will admit that I'm a little paranoid about these clowns, but I'm more angry than anything. Like who do you think you are, terrorizing America like this?! I think everyone across the country should get into large groups and chase every last one of these clowns down! We are dealing with enough problems right now, and we don't need morons in face paint and a Halloween costume adding to them. If a clown thinks it can attack me without any consequences, they can try again!

We've watched her since Disney Channel and now she's one of the most popular female artists in the world! Demi Lovato has grown so much and has overcome many obstacles thrown at her during her early years of fame. When comparing the overall message of her first album to that of her most recent one, it is clear how far she's come!

2008 seemed to be the year that jump started Demi's career. She released her first album "Don't Forget", which was an instant hit, reaching the number two spot in the Billboard 200 and sold over 530,000 copies. The lead tracks from that album, "Get Back" and "Don't Forget", keep the theme of being heartbroken over a relationship and not wanting to move on from it. The year 2009 saw another album, "Here We Go Again", that was once again centered around a boy that she just couldn't let go. It debuted as number one in the Billboard 200 and sold 180,000 copies within its first week of being released.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. Demi had two hit albums out and was starring in a new Disney Channel comedy series, "Sonny With A Chance". However, 2010 revealed the truth about how Demi's life was really going. She checked herself into rehab towards the end of the 2010 after years of battling Bulimia, addiction, and self-harm. Sonny With A Chance was cancelled, and her fans held their breath as they waited for the damage to be announced. Fortunately, Demi was released a short time later and released another album in 2011 entitled "Unbroken". Her fans could tell that this album was very different from the others. Although it did resemble her past tracks by talking about wanting to get boys attention, she also spoke of more personal subjects such as her alcoholic father in "For The Love of a Daughter". This song and a few others like it gave us a look at just how damaged Demi felt. This album was only the first step in her recovery process.

Her fourth album, "Demi", is seen as a major breakthrough toward her becoming more confident in her own skin. While explaining all the pain and sadness that she felt growing up, this album also promoted self love and empowerment. "Warrior" was the most emotional track for me. It was so vulnerable, and Demi didn't hold back in expressing how her life was then and how she's changing now. This album proved just how dedicated she was to reinventing herself and to not letting her heartbreaking past influence her future.

And finally we have her most recent masterpiece, "Confident". This album shows how much she has matured not only as an artist but as a person. She speaks of knowing your worth and never letting anyone define who you are. Even though all of the tracks on this album are amazing, the one that makes me the most proud of her is "Father". She went from feeling small and helpless in "For The Love of a Daughter" to realizing that the abuse from her dad wasn't her fault and even forgiving him in "Father". The pain he had caused her was a huge obstacle in her life and she overcame it. She is so strong and I am beyond proud of who she is today. Demi is not only an amazing artist, she is an inspiration to anyone who is dealing with depression or lack of confidence. Her albums are a representational sequence of who she was and who she is, and I can't wait to see what she does next!

And if you can't see how far she's come, you need to try again!!
