Selena Gomez Revives Local Pop Scene

  

    It’s no secret that Gomez has the most followers on Instagram and why she is adored by her tremendous fan base across the world. On Monday, May 23rd, 2016 Selena Gomez returned to the Forest City after five years, giving her loving fans exactly what they’ve been craving for with her explosive Revival Tour. The Budweiser Gardens showed that 'Same Old Love,' seats filled with fans of all ages ready to welcome Bea Miller, DNCE, and Selena Gomez.

      Opening with “Same Old Love,” from her latest album, Revival, Gomez packs a powerful punch setting up the show with a bold statement declaring for a break from a vicious love life circle relating to family, friends, career, and a longing need for self-love. Selena Gomez certainly knows how to bring the energy level up the audience with not only her stunning looks and endless talent but with a back-up dancing squad that certainly makes their mark in sync uniformity placing their leading lady on a beautiful pedestal throughout every number. Gomez’s transition backdrops fading into the next number with sophisticated visuals. Finally, enter her rendition of “The Heart Wants What it Wants,” and “Good For You,” and you have one very satisfied crowd in the Gardens.

        Pumping up the audience with a crowd energizing and classic popular, “Slow Down,” from album Stars Dance, the stage transitions into a playground setup filled with a child’s fantasy of endless monkey bars throwing in a rock fusion-vibe of another classic Gomez throwback, “I Love You Like a Love Song,” from album, When the Sun Goes Down.


        And now for the moment we’ve all been waiting for, my most favourite song off of her new album, Revival, “(Can’t Keep My) Hands to Myself.” With several recurring underlying themes of “love is love,” and embracing love no matter the gender roles involved, Gomez produces a flawless, effortless and socially groundbreaking masterpiece brilliantly choreographed, and very tasteful.

        Throw in covers from other artists, some more of Selena's best, lighting and backdrop changes and you have one mesmerizing show. 

       London looks forward to welcoming Selena Gomez back in the future, because ''The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants," and I think we can all agree that it is Selena Gomez.

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either.  I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are...

Proactive Pokémon GO

Are you team Pokémon Go or team Pokémon No? I, for one, am definitely team Pokémon Go! I am thrilled that this game is out, not only to bring back my childhood love of Pokémon but to bring more activity into my day. I know many can agree. It's great to see that phones are finally learning from Wii and Kinect. Combining physical activity and video games is a very smart move with this generation.  Finally, Pokémon Go is released in Canada (as of yesterday). I don't think I've ever been more excited for an app or a game.  Even though the app has proven frustrating for most, with servers down, distracted drivers and walkers, those truly determined to be the very best (that no one ever was) persevered and are now joining their respective teams and battling other users.  But besides benefitting your health (and your Pokémon training skills), do you ever think about how you can help others benefit too?  Here are some ideas to bring light into someone's...

I am FAT

Hello, my name is Mariann and I am fat. Yes, fat. I mean overweight, perhaps even obese to most. No, I am not writing this to gain sympathy, attention or hate. I am writing this for me, and every other person who struggles with self confidence. As someone who has always been a 'plus sized girl', this was never news to me and that's okay. That being said, I never knew it was okay until recently. Fat is a word that has been taken and twisted by a majority of things. Media, society, science, and even family and friends. These influences have always come and go from our daily lives and contort what we know and believe. Fat is just a word. A word with three letters. One word, that does not define WHO I am, what I do, or even what I plan to be. So, with this being said, let me start over. Hello, my name is Mariann and I have fat. I also have two blue eyes that tend to change colour every so often. I have curly hair, and a lot of freckles. I have two hands and two feet. ...
