Not your typical album: “Dawn FM”

By Lily Lunn January 26, 2022
I am one of The Weeknd’s top listeners and he has been my top artist for five years now. I have been to concerts, spent countless dollars on merch, and I may or may not have run a fan account at one point. I can name any song after only listening to the first few seconds; I will always stand by his experimental Super Bowl performance and will argue that it was far superior to any other halftime show.

Review: Le Marais

By Sawyer Strain October 21, 2021
A quick stop for an iced coffee on a sweltering day? Absolutely. A sit-down meal of Wagyu burgers and French onion soup? Of course.

Review: Yerba Mate “Tropical Uprising”

By Samantha Nichols May 7, 2021
The initial taste isn’t bad at all— I definitely got that tropical feeling— but after a blissful moment of pineapple and hibiscus with notes of apricot, I found myself wishing more than anything in the world that I could get rid of that sickening peach aftertaste.
