Song of the Day

Kimbra – Good Intent

I love WordPress. I love Spotify. My two favorite things in the world have just merged y’all and it is kind of blowing my mind! If you have stuck around with Yow Yow for a couple of years now, you know that I have struggled in the past with choosing an outlet to highlight my Song of the Day’s. I started out with some really weird looking YouTube videos that were a mix of music videos and ones that were made by fans. Then I moved onto SoundCloud because it had a much sleeker design and it was easy to use. Today, we’re trying out this new Spotify x WordPress merge. Literally, my life – or my Song of the Day selections could not be made any easier. All I have to do is go into my Spotify library, right click the song, copy the URL and paste it here.

I like this method a lot, but I wanna know what you guys think. Which format do you prefer to see Song of the Days in?

Inspirational Posters For Your Newly Inspired Self

We are more than halfway through January, but it’s still the first month of the year. Hopefully your resolutions are still intact. If you’re starting to sluff a little bit, I am here to tell you that you CAN do it. Whatever it is that you think you can’t do – you actually can. I am a huge fan of inspirational posters. In fact, I am a fan of inspiration words, pictures, and people too. A little over a week ago, I decided to make an inspirational wall at my desk because this was the place where I felt most creative. It’s also the place where I get most distracted from my work, but this wall that I am now forced to look at it brings me right back to where I need to be.

Throughout my elementary, middle school, and high school career, I was forced to look at these uninspired posters in my classrooms of random sayings and animals. Animals are great, but why look at those when posters these days have really stepped up their game.

The “To Resolve Project” has a collection of posters up on their website, but will be collaborating with my favorite Society 6’ers soon enough!

Here are just a few of my favorite picks!

Poster Cabaret

At the end of the summer, after a month of debating, I finally selected three prints to purchase from Society 6. I was able to find exactly the prints I wanted – one that was a photograph, a graphic print, and one with a quote. The one print that I was unable to find successfully was one for a band or musician that I loved. I wasn’t looking for a specific one exactly, but I wanted a design that was visually pleasing for a band I actually listened to. I suppose i was looking in the wrong place. So today, I decided to peruse Poster Cabaret. Below are my options – let me know which one you think looks best! To shop around for your own posters, click here.
