Butterflies, women have been fighting for equality for centuries and slowly but surely our voices are being heard. International Women’s Day is celebrated annually all over the world every March 8th and Women’s History Month is celebrated every year for the entire month of March. In honor of women’s history month, I wanted to share a few women from Texas who made history by being fearless and going against the grain, whether you agree with their lifestyle choices or not. Here is a list of some of the world’s most iconic women from Texas:

Music: The Music Walk of Fame Honors Amy Winehouse

The Music Walk of Fame recently honored the legacy of Amy Winehouse by dedicating a space on the Music Walk of Fame for the music icon in Camden.

There is also a life-sized bronze statue of Amy Winehouse in Camden’s Stables Market, not far from Amy’s old apartment. The statue was designed and created by artist Scott Eaton and features Amy’s signature beehive hairstyle.

What’s your favorite Amy Winehouse song?

‘00s Music Spotlight: You’re Beautiful by James Blunt

Butterflies, this song was out long before I started sharing my world with you guys but it definitely would’ve made my list of best songs of 2004. This song was released on English singer-songwriter James Blunt’s  Back to Bedlam album is definitely one of the best songs of the 2000s. Also, he’s on tour this year so if you’re a fan...go check him out!

My Favorite Lyrics from the Track:

My life is brilliant, My love is pure.
I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan.
She could see from my face that I was, Fuckin' high.
You're beautiful, it's true.

Music: The Ultimate Positive Vibes Playlist

Butterflies, did you know that March is National Optimism Month? Personally, I’m usually more pessimistic than optimistic because life has definitely traumatized me, but when I think about the pursuit of happiness, being optimistic is really the only way one can find their true happiness and radiate positivity. Being optimistic not only helps build up your perseverance to life obstacles, it also kind of gives you something to believe in. Being pessimistic or cynical is not a bad thing, in this crazy world it’s actually best to keep some kind of guard up, but when I need to I often find the boost of positivity I need to get by in a book or by listening to music. 

Below is a list of some of the most optimistic songs I know. As new tracks are released or discovered, this list will be updated annually. Enjoy!

 

Best Elizabeth Taylor Quotes

The only knowledge I had about one of the world’s most influential women of all time when I was growing up is that she got married A LOT, that’s pretty much the only thing people cared about. I recently discovered some pretty cool new things that I never knew about her. Elizabeth Taylor was born in the UK and later moved to the US with her family. She started acting as a youth and later became a very respected businesswoman and humanitarian. She became royalty, made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. Elizabeth Taylor was born with distichiasis (double eyelashes) which gave her naturally fuller looking eyelashes and another genetic mutation that caused her dark blue eyes to appear violet at times. Elizabeth Taylor’s unique natural beauty was and still is admired by people all over the world. Her birthday is today February 27th, so in celebration of her I’m sharing some of my favorite Elizabeth Taylor quotes below:
