It’s 2023. Gina Naomi Baez, a singer/songwriter and actress from New York City, has a new single out “When You Hear Joni.” This song is about heartbreak after going through an emotional situation in your life.

About ‘When You Hear Joni’ by Gina Naomi Baez

Gina Naomi Baez latest single “When You Hear Joni” is inspired by the idea of how a song you once loved can be ruined because it reminds you of a certain heartbreak, or emotional situation in your life.

About Gina Naomi Baez

In addition to her singing/songwriting career, Gina Naomi Baez has a flourishing acting career having landed roles in Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, Orange is the New Black and most recently CBS’s FBI.

Her love and passion for songwriting and music has always been the true driving force behind her creativity, with Bez using her platform to spread messages of positivity. 

Baez shares, “I worked with two amazing female songwriters/producers on this song and concept, Meghan Kabir and I really dove into the idea of Joni Mitchell’s River as the song that sparks a heartbreaking memory. We then worked with HARLOE ie: Jessica Karpov on production and making the song sound like a winter song, with a melancholic nature like the snow was falling down slowly throughout the entire song.”

Who says ugly sweaters have to be truly ugly?

The Grinch themed Christmas sweaters are the most popular sweaters in America this year.

Americans love Christmas sweaters inspired by Christmas movies. Die Hard themed sweaters are the second most popular this Christmas. Home Alone and Gremlins are the third and fourth most popular Christmas movie sweaters.   

Sweaters themed from Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch are consistently the most popular.    

The research conducted by Boohoo analyzed the monthly US search volume for the Christmas movie-themed clothing to establish which Christmas sweater is the most sought-after this holiday season.  Searches for the term ‘Grinch Christmas Sweater’ averaged at 4,000 times per month in the United States, proving how much fans are willing to be seen wearing a green Grinch-style sweater.     

About The Grinch

The Grinch first hit screens as a TV special on CBS in December 1966, which featured the green cartoon storybook character causing mayhem in the world of Whoville. In the year 2000, Jim Carrey took on the role of the Grinch and brought Whoville to the big screens in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

About Die Hard

Karl is the main antagonist’s right-hand man and the only character not killed by John McClane (Bruce Willis) in the movie.

Searches for ‘Die Hard Christmas sweater’ receive 3,200 searches per month, on average in the USA. Many speculate whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie due to its action/thriller genre, which caused the writer to note that the film is set at a Christmas party during the holidays and features many Christmas songs, meaning it is a Christmas film.   

 Home Alone

The 1990 classic Home Alone places third in the rankings, which features a young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left alone at Christmas time and faced with scaring off two burglars from breaking into his house. During the film, Kevin looks cozy in a few different winter knits, but the most iconic is the heathered red knit that surprisingly can hold his entire weight when he is hung on a coat hook. Despite the red knit not being the craziest of prints, it hasn’t stopped film fans from wanting to get their hands on a Home-Alone themed sweater for themselves.  Searches for ‘Home Alone Christmas sweater’ average 2,000 searches per month in the US.

[REVEALED] How much would it cost to maintain the Emily in Paris Lifestyle

No Comments

Do you watch the Netflix hit ‘Emily in Paris?’

The true cost of the Emily in Paris lavish lifestyle revealed.

Emily in Paris, Marketing executive, a Netflix series.

After having waited a year for its return: Emily in Paris, is back on December 21st. The second season boasted a total of 107.6 million hours viewed in the first five days, becoming undoubtedly a binge-worthy show. 

In the series, we see Emily Cooper living a seemingly glamorous lifestyle – from flaunting her expensive clothing, regularly dining out, and attending extravagant events for her work as a marketing executive. However, it poses the question of whether this lifestyle is truly attainable with her occupation. Experts at New Casinos have analyzed Emily’s lifestyle to determine her annual spending compared to her salary, which is estimated to be €45,251 ($46,980.95), and converted the costs from euros to United States dollars.

The American expat is a big spender when it comes to her clothes, with this being her most expensive habit. Based on the prices of some of the fabulous clothing that we see Emily Cooper roaming the streets of Paris in, Emily is estimated to spend a total of an overwhelming $76,795.40 annually on clothes and accessories.

Valentino, Prada, Christian Louboutin, and Balmain are just a selection of the luxury brands she is spotted in: although one of her more expensive choices is the Vassilis Zoulias yellow printed jacket is seen wearing in the fourth episode of season two, which comes with a price tag of $53,987.96. 

Emily pays around $33,127.84 annually for rent, which is a staggering amount considering that leaves her just $13,853.11 left for the whole year to cover other expenses. It’s no surprise that she has to splurge on her apartment though, given that it is in Place de l’Estrapade in the 5tharrondissement, right near the Pantheon – one of Paris’s major attractions. 

Utilities are another essential yet pricey expense, and Emily’s bill totals to $2,372.40 a year. Given the price of both rent and utilities, you can imagine that there’s not much more room for spending – but that isn’t true.  

Paris is well-known for its wonderful delicacies, and Emily takes full advantage of this by frequently dining out in restaurants around the city. It proves a pricey activity with a total spend around $3,239.28 a year, with the assumption that she does so twice a week, making it her third most expensive habit. 

Exploring the nightlife of Paris is another one of Emily’s many hobbies that we see on the show, where she is usually accompanied by Mindy or Camille. However, it’s expected that Emily spends $1,295.71 keeping up with this hobby over an annual period of two cocktails a week. The marketing executive once revealed to Camille how she got lost using the Metro, which is the cheapest, easiest, and quickest way to travel around Paris. In an attempt to avoid getting lost again, we see Emily use taxis to get around instead – costing her $2,947.74 a year on transport. 

Emily Cooper is often seen grabbing a cup of coffee, most likely to keep her going through her hectic schedule. Based on the average price of a regular cappuccino in the city, Emily racks up an annual bill of $228 on her morning coffee, assuming that she indulges once daily for five days a week. 

In total, Emily spends $120,006.37 a year to maintain her lavish lifestyle, which is precisely $73,025.42 over her annual income. 

A spokesperson from New Casinos has commented on the findings:

“When it comes to our favorite fiction TV shows, we sometimes have to remind ourselves that it isn’t a reality. Emily in Paris is a show in which extravagance is at the core but it’s interesting to see just how unrealistic the luxurious living of Emily is. The findings are a friendly reminder that her lifestyle isn’t exactly one to admire, given that her salary doesn’t cover half of her spending.”

10 Best at-home Exercises for a Full Body Workout

No Comments
Winter is near and more people are spending time at home due to the festive season. Though time has been filled with Christmas shopping and wrapping presents rather than hitting the gym, there may be an opportunity to stay active at home. Fitness experts Fitness Vol revealed 10 exercises to ensure a full body workout from the comfort of your home.   

1. B-Stance Hip Thrusts for Glutes

It can be done with or without weights, and requires nothing but a sturdy raised surface. A lower-back friendly exercise, B-Stance hip thrusts are suitable for all levels of exercise. Simply sit on the floor with your back against a sturdy bench/chair while keeping one leg bent and the foot flat on the floor, while the other remains straight resting the heel on the floor.  Drive the flat foot into the ground focusing on the heel to push the body up and parallel with the floor, the lower bottom to the floor slowly and repeat for desired number of reps.  A typical number, for any exercise, is three sets of 12, but this can be adjusted to a person’s ability.   

2. Single-leg Romanian Deadlifts

Work mainly the glutes and hamstrings, but also work on the hip abductors.  This is an exercise that is easy on the lower back and knee. This is a strength, balance, and mobility exercise that can be done with or without weights.  Standing with feet together, hinge forward at the hips and raise one leg behind you until your body is parallel with the floor, before lowering the leg back and raising your torso, taking care not to round the back.  Repeat for as many reps as desired, then do the same for the other side. 

 3. Using Bodyweight – Shoulder and Biceps

Pike push-ups are a great exercise to strengthen and build the shoulder muscle, the deltoid. Standing in down dog but with tip toes, bend your arms at the elbow while keeping the back straight. Bend your arms outwards rather than keeping the elbows tucked to your sides.  

4. Dumbbell Lateral raises

Often done using weights, but can be swapped out for alternatives like water bottles for example. Because of the nature of the exercise heavy weights aren’t required; the number of reps will make the main difference. Holding your weight or alternative in each hand, extend arms out to your sides. Bracing abs and holding shoulders back, bend your arms at the elbow slightly before hinging them down at the shoulders about halfway.  Lift them back up to parallel and then lower all the way down to the sides.  

 5. Windshield Wipers ( Abdominals and Sides )

The exercise changes in difficulty depending on the position of the legs.  Lay on your back with arms outstretched but with legs straight and facing up. Lower legs over to one side keeping them together and lowering them as close to the floor as possible without lifting your shoulders or back off the floor.  Return legs to the center and repeat on the other side.

6. Reverse Crunches

The reverse crunches will work the lower section of your abdomen. No weights are required for this exercise making it a great at-home ab exercise.  This exercise involves laying on your back with legs bent and arms flat on the floor, lifting the hips towards the sternum using abs with little to no assistance from the arms on either side.  

7. Squat jumps for the Legs

This will work every muscle in the legs. It’s also a fat-burning and cardio exercise. It can be done with or without weights. Begin a wide squat position then jump as high as possible with straight legs, keeping the quads and glutes contracted, and using arms for momentum.  

8. An effective bodyweight-only exercise, walking lunges work the quads, hamstrings, and glutes.  

High reps can outweigh the lack of weight. Standing with feet together, keep hands on hips and take a large step forward. Step forward and do the same with the other leg and repeat until the intended number has been reached. 

9. Skydivers ( Back)

Require no equipment at all apart from a mat. Using bodyweight, this exercise is great for posture and to counteract the effects of long periods of sitting. This exercise is most effective when the position is held for a few seconds, slowly released before going back into it again. Simply lay on your front with legs straight and palms on the floor either side of your head.  Lift your legs, head, chest, and arms off the floor while sliding shoulders back and down. Hold the position for a few seconds before lowering down slowly, and then repeat.  

10. No space for a rowing machine at home can be countered by doing seated resistance band rows instead.

A resistance band can be used to replicate most bodyweight and machine exercises. Using a resistance band looped around the feet is a great alternative to cable seated rows, and also much better for storage. Sit down and pull the band back keeping shoulders away from ears and arms tucked by your sides. Keep abs contracted and repeat reps as required. 
 

Commenting on the findings, a Fitness Volt spokesperson said:

“The great thing about these exercises is that you can stay on top of your health and fitness with little to no cost, and from any place at any time. 

The exercises work together to ensure a full body workout, but each can be done in isolation and amended according to the person doing them – they are effective whether you are a seasoned exerciser, or just starting out on a fitness journey.”  

The research was conducted by Fitness Volt which is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to Strength Sports, from healthy eating to exercise and everything in between.

Now Playing: Novella by Mr. Grossman

No Comments

Northern Californian musician Mr. Grossman (Mark S Grossman) has announced the release of his new EP/mini-album entitled “Novella,” containing four new original tracks with a wide-ranging experimental approach. The collection also showcases the artist’s more vulnerable side, as he lyrically turns inward and channels his inner storyteller. “Novella” is best described as “stories about people dealing with the past love, needing courage, comfort, and closure.”

The eclectic Mr. Grossman turns from the political theme of his first two tracks to the personal. These four songs are about people dealing with love, past and future, looking for courage, comfort and closure. On the opening track Chana Matthews gives voice to a searing portrait of a woman burned by past relationships, daring herself to get back into the game. The second track, Escape, is like an offer of encouragement and solace to the first. The music is a mix of modern R&B and pop, with echoes of Sade, Smokey Robinson and John Legend. There are also classical Easter eggs (Duruflé and Brahms) for good measure.

Stream “Novella” on Spotify.

Now Playing: ‘Greater Than’ by Zach Churchill

No Comments

Los Angeles-based Singer Songwriter Zach Churchill bares his soul without reservation on his confessional, potent new album “Greater Than.” It includes the lead single “Surrender.” 

It’s an appropriate precursor to this bold album, exploring difficult feelings and painful trauma with a brave curious spirit. The single deals with addiction and hopelessness, yet there is healing and hope in its underlying music and message. Whether welcoming or foreboding, truth is Zach’s artistic and life mantra.

Zach Churchill’s Greater Than album makes for genuine storytelling.

Churchill elaborates on the album-writing process, explaining how it was therapeutic and encouraged him to trust his inner compass: 

“Greater Than,” was written and recorded in Sherman Oaks, CA with my producer and friend, Tom Rasulo. Amidst a bunch of changes and trials in my personal life, the studio was a refuge and safe place for me to process all that was happening. I was able to explore difficult feelings, reflect on my current circumstances, and digest painful experiences. Basically, this album was incredibly therapeutic. It represents an incredibly important period in my life when I finally began to trust myself. 

The title track, “Greater Than”, is about making other people your Higher Power and then being disappointed when they let you down, and finally coming to terms with the painful truth that no human being will ever be able to save or fix you. 

“Surrender” is about addiction being the result of untreated trauma. “Each day is the same, I wake up in pain, and repeat what I fear with no resolution.”

“The past, it is real, and it’s living inside you. This pain, it can heal, you can change if you want to…” 

Fromgirltogirl.com review of ‘Greater Than’ Album

The ‘Greater Than’ album is a splendor of emotions from track to track. We enjoy the story of overcoming struggle. Even if some of the lyrics can have us in our feelings, Zach Churchill keeps the instrumentals on the album upbeat or at a tempo that can be heard when you are having a good or bad day. It’s an easy 50 minute listen.

He pulls no punches: His lead single “Bartender” chronicles a harrowing heroin overdose. “The person I’m singing to saved my life,” Zach explains. “He was closing up at 2:00 a.m. at the venue when I overdosed. Everyone was gone, but he checked the bathroom because the light was on. The door was locked, so he got the key and found me. If he had just gone home I’d be dead.”

In the hospital, after a medically induced coma, Zach was forced to face his family and himself.

“You hit your bottom when you stop digging,” Churchill says.

The song is all about him saying ‘I’m done.’

Heartbreak and Hope was recorded with noted producer, artist, and multi-instrumentalist Julian Coryell who invited key musicians to power the tracks.

About Zach Churchill

On a recent journey Zach traveled The Camino de Santiago, an ancient European pilgrim route leading to the tomb of St. James in northwest Spain, a sacred path with a profound history. “I was surrounded by people who were on the pilgrimage for spiritual reasons, this great family,” he recalls. “With the right attitude, every day of my life can be an adventure like The Camino.”

Stream lead single “Surrender” on Spotify.

‘Greater Than’ Album Tracklist

11 songs serve as musical mile markers commemorating a 10 year journey through Zach Churchill twenties — a decade that he barely survived.

1. Surrender, 2. Greater Than, 3. Living in L.A., 4. Reach You, 5. Love & Terror, 6. I Can’t Stand Myself, 7. Hover, 8. Sonoyta, 9. How To Live, 10. Then We Can Think About Dying

With an expressively vulnerable voice, singer-songwriter Zach Churchill breathes life, love, and gratitude into absorbing narratives. Sophisticated arrangements, inventive modulations, and superlative musicality are hallmarks of the Orange County, California native’s debut collection, Heartbreak & Hope.

New York City (NYC) Multi-Instrumentalist Musician, Dance, Choreographer, Filmmaker and Untethered Mystic Andrea Ward occupies a realm all her own.

Ward merges music and movement in her wholly atypical new single “Awake at Night,” released November 18 , 2022 on streaming platforms.

Following previous singles “Game” and “Algorithm”, this is the third taste of her label-defying album “Ribbon of Water”, set to release January 20, 2023.

Undisturbed by current trends, Andrea Ward‘s uniquely inspired musical alchemy melds a harmonious collection of subgenres, drawing inspiration from Icelandic Pop, Norwegian Rock, Experimental, Alternative Pop, Permanent Wave and Avant-Garde sounds.

Andrea Ward shares ““Awake at Night” is the idea that you’re awake at night because you know something’s wrong in life. You know that there are forces in the world trying to keep you asleep, and you refuse to be any less alive than your greatest potential. It’s as if the song is a roaring voice from your deep subconscious, telling you to get up and move.”

By combining musicality with her immense knowledge of movement and a direct, intimate relationship with the subconscious mind, Andrea Ward speaks her truth from a wellspring of great depth and limitless creative energy.

The song is a good balance of relaxation and emotional energy. Listen while you take a shower or bath, we promise you won’t regret it. It’s also perfect for a dinner date night listen for singles and couples.

Artist Biography: About Andrea Ward

Andrea Ward is an NYC musician and choreographer merging music and dance into one movement. “My music sounds the way that my dance looks, both fluid and sharp, as if a force of nature was trying to nurture you and sting you at the same time, just enough to force you to move.” Andrea relates to percussive instruments, and works closely with a drummer to create fine detail, and then builds dance works to it for her own music videos.

Now playing: Situationship by Kaleigh

No Comments

Kaleigh, a multi-talented musician, actress, and model returns with hard rocking new single and music video “Situationship,” out November 4th on streaming platforms. As Kaleigh‘s music has evolved over the years, she has embraced a heavy alternative, punk-infused sound while simultaneously opening up with raw, emotionally charged lyricism.

Kaleigh opens up on the themes of her new single. 

“Have you ever been in less than a relationship, but more than a friendship with someone? Well, me too. Situationship is about being frustrated as you are stuck in the in-between with someone you’ve come to care about. “

Kaleigh explains, too often people are quick to trade a good thing for a good time. While others are damaged by traumatic experiences that keep them from moving forward and falling in love.

The song Situationship is a therapeutic, anger-release to help listeners let go of pent up emotion that otherwise would scare off love.

LISTEN TO SITUATIONSHIP BY KALEIGH

The negative effects of casual dating and the widely accepted ‘situationship’ are felt equally by the Millennial, Zillennial, and Gen Z populations.

The song Situationship highlights one’s ability to reclaim power and decide if a lifestyle type is the right fit.

The rock genre has always been about stepping outside of societal expectations and generational norms. Situationship is about doing the unexpected in an era of instant gratification and emotional unavailability — reverting to the old-fashioned, slow-burn kind of love.

Fromgirltogirl.com Music Review

We love Kaleigh’s youthful vocals and the heavy metal opening works great for Situationship. The song is relatable and the music video is a must watch because it demonstrates the missing in-action partner that is the default of situationship(s). We also like Kaleigh’s fashion.

Kaleigh is a multifaceted artist who has been steadily building her entertainment career since she was 13 years old. At 13, she wrote and independently released an EP and followed it up with strong singles over the years. She has written, executive produced and starred in four music videos for her singles, “Fading,”  “Twisted//Mistake,” “Lost Souls,” and most recently, “Situationship.”

In March of 2021, she released her debut album “Predestined,” which was highly regarded by many music critics both newly introduced to her career and those who had been following since the start. Her most recent release “Situationship” is a deep dive into the rock sound she has always been meant to play. 

In addition to her work as a musical artist, she is an actress. Currently signed with Lena Roklin of Luber Roklin Entertainment as well as David Arrigotti and Daniel Hoff of Daniel Hoff Agency, her most recent notable credits are Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” and CBS All Access’s hit tv show, “Why Women Kill.” You may also recognize her from her features on NBC’s “The Good Place” or ABC’s “Speechless.”

She grew up attending prestigious academic summer programs at UCSC, Haverford College, and Yale University as well as obtained her AA degree in Liberal Arts from Santa Monica College with honors in just one year.

Whether paywalled or published for free, you can grow your substack audience by participating in discussion threads to have conversations with subscribers.

How to start a Substack and be successful

It’s incredibly easy to sign up and start posting on Substack. Follow these steps, and you’ll be publishing in minutes.

Define your niche

Decide who is your audience and know their desires, concerns, viewing habits, and what they are willing to buy.

Sign up for a Substack account

You can use an email or sign up with your Twitter account. Substack’s Twitter integration makes it easy to link your contacts and feature your newsletter and bio. This works well for Substack creators who have a large Twitter following.

Create your publication on Substack

  1. Name your publication
  2. Write a summary and be sure to include what it is about and confirm your URL. The more creative and short the summary, the easier it will be to draw in subscribers. Get viewers excited about reading your content.

Import your mailing list

I decided to import some of Fromgirltogirl.com’s subscribers. I did it by uploading a CSV file to import contacts but Mailchimp, TinyLetter, or Patreon can make importing your mailing list easier. Just make sure your subscribers consent.

How to add subscribers to Substack

You manually add family, friends, and business associates to your subscriber list as a way to build a subscriber base. Don’t worry about the long haul way you will continue to grow subscribers, just get started.

I recommend signing up with a second personal email address to see your newsletter exactly as it looks to your substack subscribers. 

Create a post on Substack

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be directed to the Dashboard, where you can create a New post, New thread or New episode. The interface is straightforward: Write, format, and publish.

How to grow your Substack

Substack is a tool rather than a social network. Use marketing and promotional tools to grow your substack subscribers and monetize.

Here is how Fromgirltogirl.com can help you grow your substack subscribers and monetize.

Call to action

With 14+ years in drafting call-to-action copywriting , Briana Booker, Chief Editor of Fromgirltogirl.com, can help you fill in your posts with headers, footers, and buttons to make it easy for readers and viewers to subscribe to your newsletter, share your content, and comment on your posts.

Use social media

Always post your newsletters on social media. Break down your content via Twitter threads and screen shot key takeaways for Instagram or set up direct integration with Facebook.

Add Comments

Substack thrives on discussion. So make comments on related posts link back to your own Substack.

Build partnerships

Guest post on other people’s Substacks, interview other creators on your own, ask relevant accounts on social media to share your publication and make people pay for a sponsorship.

Substack did their own case study, following Ali Abouelatta and his blog First 1000 , where he describes how he gained over 20,000 subscribers within three years. Ali Abouelatta achieved this growth by engaging with his niche outside of the platform and marketing through Quora, Discord, WhatsApp and Slack.

Is Substack free?

As a publisher, Substack is free to create an account, and publish text or audio without paying for storage. Moreover, the majority of Substack posts are free to read.

It’s up to content creators whether or not to place their work behind a paywall. We recommend Substack creators offer a mixture of free and premium paid content to subscribers.

A subscription to a paid Substack averages around $5 a month but really popular substack pages have seen subscribers willing to pay up to $50.

How to make money on Substack

Make money on Substack by selling subscriptions to your content. Substack readers are willing to pay for good content. Sell more subscriptions in the following ways:

  • Be Consistent. You want to convert your readers and viewers to loyal fans. The best way to do that is to publish regularly and be reliable. Publish free post on every designated day ( end of the week) and a paid post on another designated ( start of the week).
  • Be Interesting. If you need a Substack editor, connect with Fromgirltogirl.com by emailing advertise@fromgirltogirl.com. Briana Booker will copy edit your work so substack subscribers can enjoy your content.
  • Stay Free. Creating free content is the best way to build your subscriber base. Do not paywall any more than 50% of your content.

Is Substack worth it?

To market your substack use  TikTok , Pinterest, and engage thought leadership, and stick to a content writing schedule or creation calendar. People become loyal subscribers by reading and viewing useful content or interesting information.

Post your Substack on your homepage, social media sites, company email signatures and anywhere you can display URLs or weblinks. This will help your substack search engine rankings so people can come across your Substack organically.
