Ari's 20 Favorite Songs to Play on Repeat Before, During or After a Breakup

It's 10:30 at night and I should be sleeping, but instead I feel like creating a random playlist. See, I've been washing and twisting my hair for the past 3 hours.  During that time, I went through 3 different playlists on Spotify. For 3 hours straight, I've been belting out some of my favorite jams from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. I mean, JAMS.

Anywho, that trip down memory lane reminded me of some songs I used to help me deal with heartbreak from elementary school all the way until my late 20s. So tonight, I reminisce over all the boys who broke my heart throughout the years. This one is for you.

1) Mya- If You Died I Wouldn't Cry Cause You Never Loved Me Anyway
2) Ginuwine - Lonely Daze
3) Vikter Dupkaix - Another Great Love Gone By
4) Jill Scott - Slowly Surely
5) Dru Hill - All Alone
6) P!nk - Stop Falling
7) Boyz II Men - Water Runs Dry
8) Donell Jones - Gotta Get Her (Outta My Head)
9) Rhianna - Damn
10) Alexander Oneal - A Broken Heart Can Mend
11) Bilal - Think It Over
12) 702 - Gotta Leave
13) Jagged Edge - Hard
14) Maze ft Frankie Beverly - Can't Get Over You
15) Immature - Please Don't Go
16) 112 - Pleasure and Pain
17) Eric Roberson - Past Paradise
18) The Foreign Exchange - This City Ain't the Same Without You
19) Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart
20) Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack- Where is the Love

Priorities Change When You're #Adulting

Hey everyone! I wanted to check in for a quick second to let you know what I've been up to. I know the wedding posts have been non-existent for a while. I can explain! While yes, the wedding is still on, something else has been taking up my time and attention--buying a house! I'm pleased to announce that I just purchased my first home yesterday. Yay! It's been a long process and it's far from over. Now that I've purchased the house, we will need to start the renovations. The renovations may take a couple of months and we won't be moving into the new house until they are done. I'll be visiting the house this weekend to take some "before pics." I plan to document the whole renovation process. More to come. Anywho, after the renovations are done and we're moved into our new home, the wedding planning will resume. Needless to say, we made the adult decision to push back the wedding to Spring of 2019. That way, we'll have more time to plan...

Obsessing Over Wedding Music, Part 1

Those that know me will understand why it's fitting for my first real wedding blog post to be about music. The O'Jays said it best-- I love music . I may not have always known what my wedding colors would be, or what type of venue I wanted my reception to be at, or hell, even who my groom would be. But I always knew that the music at my wedding would be ON POINT. Some jazz and neo-soul to start the night off with a mellow, romantic vibe. Throw in some 80s and 90s slow jams and bangers. Some 2000s hip-hop and R&B. Some acid jazz. Other stuff that doesn't fit into a genre that I can identify. And now to pay homage to my new city, some house music and other classic Chi-Town tracks. It will be a mash of well-known, some slightly familiar, and some "I don't know what this is, but I LIKE!" So with all that pressure, it's no wonder that I had trouble falling asleep on Friday night. I had a lot on my mind. I kept thinking about music. So inst...

Some of My Favorite Winter 2013/2014 Pics

This winter was a record-breaking winter--literally!! We saw more subzero days and suffered through more inches of snow than this city has seen in decades...I wish I had more winter pictures, but 1) Unfortunately, most of my pictures were irretrievably deleted by my phone (major sad face) and 2) I was too cold most of the time to pull out my camera and take pictures.  Nevertheless, here are a few that I compiled throughout the season. I think this was the first time I saw a subzero temperature...this was way back in November, I think. Before it was officially winter! My job made sure that our sidewalks were always shoveled (thank you for that!), but that snow began to pile up... A subzero day in Chicago is NO JOKE. Not only is the physical temperature less than zero, but the wind chill will decrease the temperature by another 20- 30 degrees. There's no such thing as being cute in this weather. You're trying to stay alive! Thermals, Ugg boots, hand warm...
