And by social media posts I usually mean Instagram. But no, no, not today, ba-bee. Today, it\u2019s all about the platform I\u2019m pretty sure I spend more time on than any other. You saw it in the title \u2013 it\u2019s YouTube. What\u2019s more, I didn\u2019t necessarily discover these posts within the last week, all though some of them I did. Okay, on with the show. Just sit back, relax and enjoy these posts\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tqlw87XV4kU?si=CR68rJrS2Gpa1TR3\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>I rarely venture into new music on YouTube. Like if I\u2019m watching your music video, I pretty much already know the song. As a matter of fact, I\u2019m not even watching your music video. I\u2019m playing spider solitaire on a different tab and just listening. But every now and then something catches my eye and I give it a try. That\u2019s what happened when Kanye\u2019s latest single showed up on the right side of my screen and after several days of seeing it sporadically I finally gave it a listen. I must say, I really like it. I like seeing the father daughter dynamic. I really like when Ty Dolla Sign\u2019s part comes in and the final time Kanye sings \u201conce again the clouds are gatherin\u2019 to realize what they held in,\u201d at the end. Have you heard this song? It is not \u2013 I don\u2019t know \u2013 so cool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3xjT-v7U8eE?si=l9mIALaAdsGfCWyQ&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a chance to meet Usher almost 20 years ago, when he launched his charitable foundation at my school. Apparently something happened between his management and the school and he refused to do interviews with the schools press, which was me. I wasn\u2019t told until the day, but being the intrepid reporter I was, I attempted to get in interview anyway and was summarily dismissed with a handshake as a consolation prize. That day I vowed to never by an Usher CD again, even though I had never bought one before. But I must say, him being rude or not ( I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s proper grammar and I don\u2019t feel like looking it up) I\u2019ve always been a fan of Usher\u2019s music. He tells stories. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve heard one song from him that doesn\u2019t tell a story \u2013 even Yeah tells a story. While I watched his Las Vegas show on, what else, YouTube and wasn\u2019t impressed, I loved his Super Bowl Half-Time show \u2013 go figure. And I still always and forever look his music. This latest song I\u2019ve been hearing on the radio is no exception. I even thought the video was beautiful. I liked the tear he shed at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7gNqiGFKa1M?si=UFKRAiS472GBpqLV&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite things to do on YouTube is to watch apartment tours. In particular I love taking in tiny apartment tours in New York. The first time I can remember seeing a tiny apartment was watching Carrie Bradshaw\u2019s digs on Sex in the City. I couldn\u2019t believe that a grown-ass woman in her 30s would like in such a small place. Fast-forward 20-some years and now I\u2019m a grown-ass woman in my 40s without my own place, so you know, shit happens. Now, I so impressed with how cozy and homey people can make their small spaces. My bedroom is a pretty good size and sometimes I think maybe I should make zones in it so I can create a tiny apartment in an apartment. The studio showcased in the video above I was quite impressed with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I6CfG2VEt2c?si=4qnLmmTfKdtEnYZ8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>I love learning about how people start their businesses and I since I\u2019ve been seeing this Crumbl cookie company seemingly popping up everywhere, it was great seeing another video about a company I\u2019m already aware of\u2026even if ever so vaguely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tSQ945a41kM?si=NYITI7Kn_F2BVsSR\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Psst, come closer \u2013 I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret. I love to cook. Well, I love to cook when I\u2019m not hungry. When I\u2019m hungry I don\u2019t want to cook, I just want to eat, but anyway. I think cooking can be so fun. It was one of the things I stepped up at during the pandemic. Though my culinary skills are not the best, every now and then I whip up some things that are pretty tasty \u2013 the lemon bars from this video being one of them (because cooking and baking are the same to me). Bump a cookbook, YouTube has been my go-to place for recipes. These delicious \u201chealthy\u201d lemon bars are a reason why. Pro-tip: I use three eggs instead of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welp, that\u2019s it for this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Wednesday Roundup time \u2013 that part of the week where I highlight 5 social media posts that caught my since the last week.
