It's my favorite weekend of the year!
NorCal or Bust!
English electronic duo Disclosure debuted their sophomore studio album Caracal this month. With the help of such famous friends as Lorde, Sam Smith and The Weeknd, it was on heavy rotation for my entire vacation and kept my ears happy. Favorite tracks include: Omen, Magnets, Jaded and Echoes.
By now we all know I'm literally obsessed with Lana Del Rey. It's just a fact. And her latest album did not disappoint. Favorite Tracks Include: High By The Beach, Music To Watch Boys To, Freak and Art Deco.
American Experience takes an unprecedented look at the complex life and enduring legacy of one of America’s best-known storytellers – Walt Disney.

Part American Horror Story, part Glee; Ryan Murphy's horror-comedy anthology series Scream Queens, about a series of murders in a college sorority is just good campy bloody fun! If only every day could be Chanel-O-Ween! (Genius!!)
Sia was Alive. Nick was on the Levels. Ellie Goulding was On My Mind. And Kylie was in Black and White. Yes, they all gave us new singles this month and made my California playlist even better. Now download, crank it and repeat!
"While on a cross-country motorcycle trip, Pat Doody found a badly burned kitten at a Nevada gas station, scooped the little guy up, and continued on his trip, later returning the cat to safety and health. On the road, Doody cared for the kitten -- who he has since named Party Cat -- with cans of tuna and Neosporin to heal his burns. From Nevada to the East Coast, they took plenty of selfies, archiving the adventure on Instagram. And when the pair returned home in New Jersey, Party Cat had his first veterinarian appointment, receiving proper care for a mild case of ear mites and shots to get him back to feeling like his cool kitty self. Biker buddies for life!" -HP
Sure there were plenty of ah-mazing praise worthy viral Kim Davis funnies flooding the web this month (Here's looking at you @SitNextToKimDavis.) But the absolute best has to go to Rainbow Randy's The Kim Davis Cell Block Tango. She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had her self to blame. Huck-a-bee.
Troye Sivan, is a South African born-Australian actor, singer, songwriter, and YouTuber (so multi-talented!) released his latest EP 'WILD' this month... And I was just, well, wild about it! For someone so young (Born in 1995(!!!)) he's got endless talent and can't wait to see where his talent takes him! Favorite Tracks Include: WILD, BITE, FOOLS and EASE.
Since I don't live in Orlando and won't be visiting Florida for the foreseeable future, I'll settle for the next best thing. Experiencing the new Walt Disney World Hocus Pocus stage show performance online, of course! 'Tis the season after all! Bibity Bobity BOO... It'll put a spell on you too! Watch it HERE.
I've concluded Nabisco is the devil.
And these are freaking delicious.

English singer and song writer Jess Glynne dropped her second album this month and it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Since I am half Brit after all, you knew I'd love it. Favorite Tracks Include: Gave Me Something, Hold My Hand, Don't Be So Hard On Yourself and Rather Be.
Tiny House Hunters is partly comical, partly infuriating (complaining about lack of closet space or no dishwasher... Really!? And did you see the one about a family of six (plus a dog) going small. Really small!) Just another show to continue my love of HGTV!
Cookie's BACK!
