Organs

Psychedelia singer, Tom Milsom's long awaited album, Organs was released just yesterday and right when I got home from school, I had to listen to it. The album consists of thirteen tracks and eleven new songs which I have to say, are all beautiful. One of the most admirable parts of Tom Milsom is that he is extraordinarily creative and so different from anything I, and most of his audience has ever heard or seen. The instruments he used in his music were so weird and yet wonderful and gave off an Alice In Wonderland feel of such dreaminess. Not only were the songs just plain gorgeous in every way possible, but every track on the album fit together as one big composition. Some songs were more psychedelic than others and some were dreamier but my God was it perfect

Sunday
my mom threw a jewelry party for her friend's company so I wore a white tee that I got as a hand me down from my cousin but the tag says Wild Fox, leggings I got thrift, and a bow that my awesome cousin also gave me.
Monday
I threw on a Buffy The Vampire Slayer shirt that my cousin gave me, pastel blue skinny jeans that I got thrift though the tag says Delia (I actually hate Delia's), and a collar necklace I got from the consignment shop in my town. In my hair, I also wore the same bow from yesterday.
Tuesday

I'm going to save you the trouble and tell you now that yes I did wear the same bow three days in a row. I ended up going with a Bring Me The Horizon cardigan my cousin gave me though she got it at Hot Topic (the back of it is super cool)
, black leggings I think I got thrift, and a black tank top that I got at Forever21 when I used to shop there.
Wednesday

To school, I wore a rather short dress with cats on it. It was yet another hand me down from Maggie, my cousin, but her clothes are extra adorable. I wore black leggings under it and pushed my hair back with a headband. That night, my best friend, Vivi and I went to see Paramore! To the concert, I wore my Paramore tee I got at Hot Topic, a black skirt I got at H&M (I barely ever shop there), and patterned tights I think I got thrift. In my hair, I wore a big bow that would hit against my head whenever I jumped at the show (which I did a lot).
 Paramore

That night, my best friend, Vivi and I went to see Paramore! To the concert, I wore my Paramore tee I got at Hot Topic, a black skirt I got at H&M (I barely ever shop there), and patterned tights I think I got thrift. In my hair, I wore a big bow that would hit against my head whenever I jumped at the show (which I did a lot).
Thursday
I was super tired and had serious post concert depression so ended up going with the simple outfit of my Nirvana tee that I got from Hot Topic, red leggings I got thrift, and a floral H&M scarf.
 Friday
I wore a "Where The Wild Things Are" tee I got from my cousin and rolled the sleeves up, grey leggings I got thrift, a bird cage necklace I believe I got from Pier One imports when I was in like fifth grade, and a big yellow flower crown.
Bar Mitzvah
To my friend Evan's bar mitzvah on Saturday, I wore a dress my cousin, Maggie, gave me, a cropped blazer I got from JCpenney (I never go there), and grey tights. To the party, I took the tights and blazer off.

Saturday Playlist

Friday Extra: The Moon's Best Dun

If I were to make a full out list of intelligent young you tubers, Steinunn from the channel, The Moon's Best Dun, would have to be the first person I would add. This fourteen year old girl also known as "The Girl Who Never Sleeps" is not only extremely insightful but just so creative and different than about any other person I have seen on YouTube. On top of it all, Steinunn is an extremely lovely person and was just so sweet to let me waste her time and ask her a couple questions! 

-What made you start a YouTube channel?
There are loads of reasons why I originally started my youtube channel, I've always been into filming and generally sharing stories and my own opinions, youtube is a great platform to combine these things. Another reason is that I have been watching youtubers for quite a while, I think I came across Charlie McDonnel when I was 10 or 11 years old and completely fell in love with the world of vloggers.
Charlie Mcdonnell got me into vloggers too! It was also around the same age as me that you were opened up to the world of vloggers ;) 

- I have "Blogger Buddies" being a blogger myself. Do you have any Youtuber friends that you have met through Youtube?
Over the time I've been on youtube I have met some of the most amazing people I have talked to. I don't call my youtube friends "youtube" friends anymore because they are just as close to me as my friends from school. Most day's I come home and talk to other youtubers, have a quick skype or a little chat on facebook. Being able to meet people from around the world has really changed my life and I couldn't be more happy about the things youtube has given me.

-What vloggers would you say you look up to?
To name all the vloggers I look up to would take ages considerating there are so many amazing content creators out there. One of my favorites at the moment is Jackvslife. He manages to combine talking ad film in such a great way. Other people you should defenetly check out are people like Adam Borman (thatoctagon), grimbleism, Louis Cole (FunForLouis), Ollie (olliem97) and especially LordLouielou. There are so many more people that I could name but theses are people I have been enjoying a lot lately!

-This is extremely irrelevant to the subject of you tubing, but I love your haircut. What made you want to cut your hair in such an edgy way?
Well  I really don't know, I guess I wanted a change and I didn't want to fit the steriotype of a 13 year old girl with long blonde hair. i've always had quite short hair, it's just  thing I like. When I first cut my hair most people liked it but there were a few times I got teased for it so at a point of time I really regretted it but I think I'm happy I did it. We all need to realize people aren't all the same, you don't know why their hair is short and you don't know why are how they are. Let's just all embrace the different.

-What would you say your goals with your channel are?

At first, when I started my youtube channel I wished I would become a "big" youtuber. Not anymore, right now I'm enjoying youtube as it is, it's always great to gain subscribers but that's not the most important thing, I stay on youtube because it's my hobby and my friends are there. So my goals are to improve my videos and meet more people. 

Your goals for your YouTube channel are a lot similar to when I started How Fitting. I wanted to be the biggest blogger possible but now I'm pretty happy here being a mildly popular online magazine.

-What opportunities have you had since you started your channel?

I've had the opportunity to meet people around the world, talk, collab and make friends. I have had the chance to make video's that hundreds of  people will see and even though sometimes i feel like that number is small, if I would try to fit every single one of my subscribers into my house, it would be bloody hard!

-So you are a part of the collab channel, The Fabulous Few, how did you decide you wanted to be a part of a collab? Is it harder having to make videos for your own channel and for The Fabulous Few?
yes, yes I am indeed. It hasn't been going as well as we wished because everyone has been quite busy but we plan on getting it on track again soon, It's harder to make 2 videos than one, obviously. but I think it's good for me to get the practice.

-As you probably know, about every Youtuber has been shipped with at least one person. Have you ever been shipped?

I have indeed! i've been shipped with my best friend stan (stanearls on youtube) but it's all for fun :)

-If you watch the channel Crabstickz, you would have heard of when Chris Kendall said he was "quitting YouTube". In the video, he described how fake some Youtubers were. What do you think of that video?

I absolutely love that video, with youtube there follows stress and attitude. I think almost no youtuber really acts how they are in real life and It's very easy to understand that. You choose to show your best side and the one you want people to see! I would actually sometimes consider myself a totally different person online but that's because I am not as confident around the people I know in school and I don't feel as accepted there. 

Big thanks to Steinunn for letting me ask her a couple questions!

Outfits

Monday
I wore my favorite Bring Me The Horizon tank that I got on sale at Hot Topic and Ramones leggings I got on clearance also at Hot Topic. In my hair I wore a yellow flower crown I got at Forever21 though I make most of my own flower crowns.
 Wednesday
Since election day was Tuesday, I just sat in my pajamas all day but on Wednesday, I wore a Pierce The Veil tank with a black tank top I got from Forever21. On the bottom, I wore a short black skirt from H&M.
Thursday
We had the day off for some teacher convention so I went to the supermarket in town (whoa I am just so cool) with my friend, Frannie, to buy ingredients for lunch. I wore my My Chemical Romance tee that I got at Hot Topic (all band shirts this weeks!) with the same skirt I wore on Wednesday. I then pushed the left side of my hair back with a headband and flipped my fringe over to the right.
