french music

so recently with the spotify update, I started listening to french music (which is pretty random ik cuz i dont even take french) but some of the music i listened to was so good, it was on repeat for the whole week
so if you're interested in listening to something fresh and different (even though the songs are relatively old), heres some of my favorite tunes. (susmita helped me with this so here)


most of these are by an artist named Zaho
--these are my favorite songs on her album



Assassine
C'est Chelou 
Mon Parcours
Serpent 
Un Petit Jeu
Je Te Promets

and last of all this one song that came on french radio thats cool


Desole


try something new because when i told my friend i liked french music it sounded like i was a weirdo but it is reallly good tho

spotify

so since 2011, i have relied on Spotify for my music.


Spotify is a program that allows you to listen to all the music humanly possible without having to pay for it online, with an included Pandora like radio, and seperate add-ons which give you lyrics and concert tickets, it is literally one of my best friends. Though Spotify is based on your Facebook profile, you can also make one with your email address and I highly recommend you do, with the new update Spotify has a fresh new look.


With my growing library of 1500 songs ranging from Little Mix to Abba to Hannah Montana and way more, I was THRILLED that Spotify had an app and now I could listen to music when I wasn't at home-----but I learned that I could only listen on shuffle and had about 9 skips an hour, which is definitely not enough for me, but I'll manage.

banana nutella bread

so the other day my mom was making banana nut bread and it was getting kinda old-fashioned ( but i still love it nontheless) and I looked up interesting twists in making it and I found one that was the bomb.net ( sorry) but unfrtunately the nutella ran out -_- 

but ill share the recipe

Banana Nutella Bread

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
• ¼ cup slivered almonds (you can add up to ½ cup for added texture)
• 10 tablespoons sugar
• ½ cup + ⅛ cup Nutella (heated for about 30 seconds in the microwave to make it more spreadable)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 very ripe, soft, darkly-speckled bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups)
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease 4 mini loaf pans or a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.
3. Mix the mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter and vanilla with a wooden spoon in another bowl. Lightly fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined and the batter looks thick and chunky. Stir in the almonds.
4. Measure out the Nutella in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-35 seconds, just until it’s softened and stir together until it’s the texture of frosting. Stir the Nutella into the batter being careful not to completely incorporate the two together. You want a swirled pattern here.
5. Transfer batter into the greased and dusted loaf pan(s).
6. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will take 25-30 minutes if you use mini loaf pans like I did or 50-55 minutes for a regular one. Cool in the pan for five minutes then transfer to a wire rack. This is great at room temperature or even straight out of the refrigerator.

the xx

so maryam showed me this band called the xx and at first i was like ya whatever and then i actually listened to them and they are actually pretty awesome

their music is defined as indie pop and their debut album, xx, came out in 2009 with another album, coexist, which came out in 2012

the band is from England and met while studying at Elliot School a famous school for up and coming bands, but they dont like to give credit to them

well if you guys ever want something relaxing to listen to or something different check them out c:

little mix

ok i know cohelly already posted about this but you guys this is literally one of the best albums i've ever heard.

little mix won the x-factor that had one direction on it and this is their second album with songs that already beat the popularity of the Spice Girls

their new album is called SALUTE and i have never fangirled this hard about a band ever like this

their album has 12 songs with additional tracks and this really cool french one

my favorite songs are probably all of them because THEY ARE SO GOOD

the group has four girls, Perrie, Jade, Le-Anne, and Jessie
Perrie is getting married to Zayn from One Direction if you didnt know..
Jade is my personal fave because omg she sings so perfectly




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgIsdmRW-uk ---- listen to the beginning part its so HARMONIZED


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmPFonGyteM----listen to 2:50--its so good holy crap


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3YODB8Tof0----this song is so inspiring


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_N4TjXY34Q----the french one--it translates to "another person"

also im going to the Demi concert and they'll be there and so will 5th Harmony and Cher Lloyd and it literally sounds too good to be true

red velvito cupcakes

ok so i havent been posting much food and i kinda wanted to be a food blog so heres a recipe for red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, which in my opinion is one of the best non-chocolate desserts ever made ever.

i would've made it myself but my mom said that we werent gonna buy any of the ingredients sooo ill jusst post the recipe and googled cupcake photos ;)



Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 pound cream cheese, softened
2 sticks butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with cupcake papers.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a large bowl gently beat together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet and mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake in oven for about 20 to 22 minutes, turning the pans once, half way through. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.

OREO NuteLLLA

YOURE ALL WELCOME 

 

Prep time

15 mins

Total time

15 mins

 

Ingredients

• 1 box of Oreo Cookies (about 36 cookies)
• ¼ cup coconut oil*, at room temperature

Instructions

1. Combine the oreos and coconut oil in a food processor. Turn it on and let it run for at least 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides, and let it run again for at least 3 minutes, longer if you have the patience.
2. The food processor will heat up the coconut oil, making it very fluid: as your finished Oreo Cookie Butter cools, it will solidify more to the consistency of peanut butter. Store at room temperature.

Notes

*If you don’t like the taste of coconut oil, substitute vegetable oil, but use less as it will result in a runnier product.

so theres not been much going on lately, other than the typical "drama", and after all my hw the funnest thing to do ever is cozy up with food and watch netflix seasons at a time because one episode isnt enough idiots. ;)
so there are so many shows and they are all so good you dont even understand and here are some of my favs


teen wolf

a bunch of ok looking teenagers who turn super hot overthe course of three seasons with humor, romance, drama,and of course werewolves, it literally cannot get better than this. {stiles man stiles}

nikita

this super awesome assasin lady with a protege who is as equally awesome and all the drama and hardcore action that comes along with assassins for assassins and plot twists and its really good guys.
(psst if youve ever seen the movie A Walk To Remember, then the guy from it is in it and he got pretty awesome as a trained killer)

the office

ok this show is literally one of my favorite shows ever because it brought my family together and its about all these awkward and hilarious office situations and then theres dwight.
all you need to know about him is that BEARS. BEETS. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

new girl

this modern show about the life of one super quirky schoolteacher living with an ex-pro basketball player, a cutish guy who doesnt really have a job or something but everybody loves them together, and a schmidt.

theres way more but itll take totes forevs to write about all of them and i'd fall asleep giving out spoilers so enjoy these for now and comment if you want more :)

halloween time

its halloween time guys, the best time of the year :)
instead of watching halloweentown and all the sequels with lame dog with a blog halloween specials on "monstober" on disney channel, i decided to grow up and try to watch horrow movies.

i tried, then i almost died. so i decided to read the wikipedia articles and say i watched it because thats how we do it {cohelly and susmita} (katy perry new song reference)

so i realized there is some scary stuff out there and its not all jessie anymore.
and the best way to get through it is blast music or read more

so if any of ya'll want any scary stories comment below

20/20

justin timberlake's sequel ablum 20/20 Experience Part 2 came out September 27,2013 and its better than ever.
  

    {omg the 1st one}                     {whoo the new one}                      {^i dont really like this one ^}

featuring new songs such as TKO, Cabaret feat. Drake, True Blood, and Murder (my personal favorites on the album)

even though his songs are weirdly long and you need the radio edit just to get through them, they still have that awesome beat with timbaland in the background grunting words and with concert season starting up again ( drake and kanye...) he's sure to be sold out in no time.
