The post 5 Essential Sabrina Carpenter Songs to Check Out After “Espresso” appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>If you like the silly lyrics of “Espresso” and want to listen to a bubblegum pop song where Carpenter doesn’t shy away from making fun of herself, it doesn’t get better than “Nonsense”.
Carpenter stirred quite a commotion with “Feather” last year, and this was her highest-charting song before “Espresso” hit the shelves.
Carpenter rose to prominence as a Disney star but entered a more mature phase of her career with Emails I Can’t Send, which gave us the pop-dance song “Fast Times”.
Despite not being released as one of the singles from Emails I Can’t Send, “Because I Liked a Boy” became of one of its biggest hits due to its connection to Carpenter’s romantic history.
If you’re in the mood to explore Carpenter’s music from her Disney days, “Thumbs” is definitely one of her biggest early hits.

]]>Reality shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race put contestants in high-stress situations where teamwork is crucial to success. These programs teach us the importance of cooperation when conflicts come up. As we observe contestants, we can also take note of what works for them and apply it to our lives.
Reality TV offers a front-row seat to the complexities of human behavior and social dynamics. Shows like Big Brother, where diverse individuals live together under constant surveillance, reveal how people navigate social interactions. These shows can teach us about human psychology in various contexts, including alliance-building and competition, helping us understand others better.
From surprise challenges on cooking shows to on-the-fly negotiations in renovation programs, reality TV throws a lot of curveballs at its cast. Seeing contestants adapt and think creatively under pressure can be a valuable lesson in resourcefulness. These shows demonstrate the importance of staying calm and assessing the situation quickly.

]]>The Script’s breakout hit “Breakeven” managed to break hearts that weren’t even broken. This is just one of many sad songs the band has produced about breakups, but this one seems to stick because the saying is true: “When a heart breaks it doesn’t break even.”
Huron’s love song is hauntingly beautiful, whimsical, and melodic, bringing back memories we may not have known we had. It’s reminiscent of a lost love, the memories we cherish, and the desire to go back in time.
The lyrics are simple and the message is straightforward, and yet this song still leaves you breathless long after it’s over. Perhaps it is McAlpine’s melancholic vocals that make the song transcendent. Either way, you’ll be reaching for the tissue box.
This song takes us back to the early 2000s and yet still feels timeless. The band’s prolific sound is like no other in this track, evoking feelings of betrayal and regret. The violin solo really hits differently too.
This song cuts deep, and really evokes the emotions of feeling all alone, and yelling “Where were you when everything was falling apart?!” This song was beyond its time and is the perfect song to cry to in the car.

]]>The post Here’s Why “Friends” is Still Relevant appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>At its core, Friends is about the trials and tribulations of six friends navigating life in their 20s and 30s. The show addresses universal themes like love, career challenges, and friendship—experiences that almost every viewer can relate to. Plus, the characters, with their distinct personalities and quirks, reflect different aspects of our own personalities and those of people we know.
The humor in Friends is another reason for its lasting relevance. Unlike some other shows of its time, Friends avoided leaning heavily on pop culture references, which can date a show. Instead, its humor comes from everyday situations and the dynamic between characters, making it timeless.
Finally, nostalgia plays a significant role in the show’s continued popularity. For those who watched it when it first aired, Friends brings back memories of the ’90s and early 2000s. For newer audiences, it’s a glimpse into life during those decades, along with the comfort of a simpler time before smartphones and social media.
