Believe by Justin Bieber // 2013 Signed Tour Exclusive Vinyl Picture Disc + Memories from the Believe Tour 10 Years Later ✨

-

Believe was the third album from Justin Bieber released in 2012, which served as a follow-up to his breakthrough debut albums, My World in 2009 and My World 2.0 in 2010. While I have loved a lot of the music he made after Believe and I have loved seeing his growth and evolution through the years, I will always consider this to be the best album Justin has ever released. He was absolutely in his prime during this album cycle and it was just such a fun time to be a fan. I played Believe on repeat for years and was the soundtrack of my life when I was thirteen years old. There are so many classics that hold so many memories for me. Some of his biggest hits came from this album, like "Boyfriend", "As Long As You Love Me", "Beauty and a Beat", and "Die In Your Arms", to name a few, all of which are still some of my favorite songs of his to this day. Believe also has a stacked lineup of featuring artists, like Nicki Minaj, Drake, Ludacris, and Big Sean. 

This exclusive vinyl pressing is one of my favorites in my entire record collection because it is an album that holds so much nostalgia for me. My dad found a pre-owned copy of this at our favorite local record store a few years ago. This is such a rare pressing and there really isn't too much information available online about it, but from my research, it was limited to only 1,000 copies and sold exclusively through the VIP packages at the Believe Tour in 2013. That element of this vinyl release is so special because the Believe Tour is first Justin Bieber show I ever went to and have the most amazing memories associated with it.

It is a double picture disc, one disc with a colored version of the standard album cover and the other is the black and white deluxe edition cover. It features a hand-signed insert, which I love, because at the time it was my first signed vinyl and first Justin Bieber signature I had in my collection. It's one of my favorite and most sentimental albums I own, so it really means a lot to me! 

On this day 10 years ago, I saw Justin Bieber in concert for the first time in Philadelphia on the Believe Tour. At the time, it was my biggest dream to see Justin Bieber live, so it was beyond exciting when I was surprised with tickets for Christmas to see him. I have been lucky enough to see so many of my favorite artists live in concert through the years and seeing Justin Bieber will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the best shows I've seen. I remember when he came on stage I had literal tears in my eyes during the entire first song, "All Around the World". It was definitely the height of my Bieber Fever! It was such a great night, one that I still look back on to this day with the best memories.

He also put on such a well-produced and choreographed performance, there were so many unique elements to the show that I have never really seen any other performer do before or since. In the beginning, he dramatically came out on stage lowered down on giant angel wings made of guitars, drums, and keyboards. At another point in the show, he sang acoustically while circling around the top of the arena on a crane platform. Every design aspect of the show was so well done, from the stage and the costumes, to the lighting and pyrotechnics - it was such a memorable show. 

I was supposed to see him again last summer in New York City, which was sadly cancelled at the last minute only a couple of days before the show, after being rescheduled several times over the span of two years. I hope he tours again one day so I have the chance to see him again! He is such an amazing performer!

Thanks for reading! I am always open for suggestions on what you would like to see next in my vinyl series!

I have so much Justin Bieber vinyl in my collection, so if there is any other albums or specific pressings you want to see or hear more about, let me know! I am looking forward to sharing more of my record collection with you in future posts!

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24.

Billie Eilish live in New York City! // HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: The Tour Madison Square Garden Night 2

Seeing Billie Eilish perform live for the first time on the second night of her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour in New York City was such an unforgettable experience! I have been lucky enough to have seen so many of my favorite artists live over the years, but this was truly the greatest show I have ever been to. Billie is a once in a lifetime talent and it was so surreal to get to see her on this incredible tour.  Hearing Billie's music for the first time in 2017, right when her first EP  don't smile at me  was released, was one of the most formative musical experiences of my life. All of her music has come to mean so much to me during that time and has been such a massive source of inspiration for me throughout those past seven years. She is truly the voice of our generation, and it is such an honor to be able to witness her talents in person for the first time. She has the most gorgeous live vocals and is such a captivating performer. The entire setlist was so perfect, in addi

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a

Four by One Direction // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? One Direction 's fourth album, aptly titled Four , marked significant beginnings and ends for the band. In many ways it marked a new era for all five of them, as they were able to have significantly more creative freedom with the overall creation of these songs. In turn, that elevated the band's sound to something much closer to their own personal influences and life experiences.  It is the best album they made as a band, between the release of  Midnight Memories  in 2013 and  Four  in 2014, they showed such a huge leap in personal growth and were fully solidified as some of the greatest pop stars of all time. There was no one bigger than One Direction at that point in time, they fully dominated music for the five short years they were together and continue to make a lasting impact on the industry. There was nothing like it before and there will never be anything like it again. Four features quite a few of the best

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
