the new york city video

The New York City video has been quite the experience for me. After editing and diving into Premiere for months, I scrapped everything I had for a concept that I'm way more passionate about, in its entirety. 

The reality of our existence is that we're always rushing. To the subway, to the top of another skyscraper, to whatever's next. It's no wonder we're feeling lost and confused about everything. So, with this video I wanted to recreate that concept, and explore the possibility of living life slow versus the fast pace we're constantly running at. I wanted to capture the stress and sleepless nights and create another option. 

This is New York City — a place that's always existing with an immense energy, and never slowing down. But maybe it could.

Love always, Marisa

my music friday

It's been a week, that's for sure.

Between work, trips to the lake and seeing friends for summer shenanigans, it's safe to say there has been no time to nap let alone get a good night's sleep.

But there's always time for music. This week I'm giving you a glance into my favorite new music from Oh Wonder's Ultralife to Lana Del Rey's newly dropped Lust for Life. Both albums are alternative with moments of electricity worth noting - a quirky beat, a nostalgic harmony, and a reliable sound. With references to life that are all too relatable in this high-speed summer. 

It's the kind of music you'd love to see live at a festival or in a small venue. I have my two cents on that too. Another shoutout to La La Land, sorry not sorry.

I'm jetsetting to Cancun, but I'll be back with new content and adventures to share in just a week. I probably should start packing...

Love always, Marisa
