Living My Best Life Tour: Paramore 2018

Hi Guys!

I hope that you've all been doing awesome! Today, I will be uploading a backlog of blogs that I have been meaning to write for a while now. This is the first. I've been going through a heck of a lot these past two years between gut-wrenching heartbreak, becoming seriously ill, being laid off my day job thus suffering a big financial hit and going through growing pains as I approach my quarter-life crisis. As a result, I've decided that I am going to focus a little less on being "perfect" and more on being me and being HAPPY! That is why I've decided that I will call this chapter of my existence, "The Living My Best Life Tour." This "tour" includes traveling more, going out more and doing fun exciting things. In the past year alone, I've taken a week-long trip to Paris with one of my best friends, taken several mini-vaca's to different states, and seen so many of my long-time favorite artists in concert.

This blog is about my experience seeing my FAVORITE pop-rock band of all time, Paramore, at Huntington Bank Pavillion in late 2018 alongside Nik. I have been a fan of them long over a decade. They were the inspiration for my alias, Josh* Paramore*. I can recall too many days blasting songs like "That's What You Get," "Pressure" and "Fences" as a 7th-grade rocker with my temporary electric blue and hot pink hair streaks! These days it's been more like "Brick By Boring Brick," "Monster" and "Only Exception."  Needless to say, seeing them in concert a decade later was nothing short of nostalgic heaven!

The vocals were so unreal, it was like I was listening to an album. Hayley Williams gave me every bit of life that I needed. I had a feeling this would be the case when she walked on stage in a to-die-for neon yellow pants suit, letting us know that she meant business. That was a KILLER fashion statement by the way! It gave me all types of punk princess gangster vibes if that makes sense LOL. The Instrumentals and guitar solos were also amazing and I was SHOOK by the way they commanded the audience's attention.

I am so happy that I got a chance to experience this! Given the stress and devastation that I was enduring at the time, I needed this concert. It was almost as if it was working better than the medicine that I was taking at the moment while I was sick. I felt rejuvenated, healed. Thank you, Paramore, for giving me that opportunity!

About Me

  Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 20x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020). I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful!  From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts? It's a lot to think about. That is why we here at The Fresh Faces Project work hard to make sure that the artists and entrepreneurs and do-gooders who are underrepresented and don't get the fame and acknowledgment that their talents merit are given a platform. That platform is us. When creating thi

The Search For "Mr. Right": 2 Years On Every App Taught Me This

  Over the last 2 years, I've been conducting what some could call a "social experiment." I have been single (by choice) for the better part of the last 2.5 years and had an epiphany a little over 2 years ago to give online dating services a shot! While it hasn't been the most miraculous experience, it has certainly been a valuable one! And, I strongly recommend that anyone who is looking to settle down with a life partner, give them a try! Maybe you don't need to sign up for almost every app known to man like I have LOL, but at least try the major ones. This blog is a detailed account of my findings as a young, sweet, successful woman with online dating.  For clarity, I've added the below chart for you to understand who I am and what I have to offer versus what I am seeking. This foundational knowledge is key to comprehending the results of my "experiment." I, as a 26 year old woman who is the CEO of a successful small business ( www.caycomcreate.co
