TIDAL X CHANGE: WIN LIL WAYNE CONCERT TICKETS

February 26, 2016 admin

Who wants to go to a Lil Wayne concert?! Well, I’ve got a great way for you to be able to do that, and also do some community service. How?

TIDAL, a global music and entertainment platform, has partnered with Lil Wayne to promote community service among college students with the Social Wave For Change initiative.

And, here’s how you can enter for a chance to see Lil Wayne live right in your city.

Here’s all you have to do:

Any undergraduate student currently enrolled in a 4 year university can participate from now through February 29th. You have to publicly post a photo or video of you doing a community service act on either on TIDAL‘s Facebook wall or on your own instagram page. You must use the hashtag #TIDALXCHANGE, mention your school name, and tag a friend.

Other participants so far have posted pictures of them doing things like volunteering at animal shelters, donating clothes, and working at food drives. Show your love for your community on the gram and win big. Seems like a win-win situation to me!

A panel of judges selected by TIDAL will review all submissions and choose the finalists – and once the finalists are announced, the general public will vote on the winner. The all participants are eligible for a 3 month subscription to TIDAL, finalists will receive a silent disco event for their school, and the winner will receive…A LIL WAYNE CONCERT NEAR THEIR SCHOOL! (yes, you heard me right!)

Oh, and if you win, you better invite me. Please?

If you have any more questions, comments or concerns regarding the challenge you can read more about it here.

Fooq’s Miami

January 27, 2016 Rebecca Fernandez

It’s been exactly a year since I left to study abroad in Florence, Italy. Reminiscing on the four incredible months I had there, I couldn’t help but miss all the restaurants that tasted like a first-class destination, but made me feel completely at home. So, to recreate the feeling, I made my way over to Fooq’s Miami. This restaurant aims to serve “Feel Good Food” in an urban, yet distinctly cozy setting.

Restaurant owner, David Foulquier, named the resturant Fooq’s because it ” is inspired by the nickname given to Foulquier’s family home growing up, known amongst friends as a staple meeting place with an open-door policy,” per a release. As for the food, it’s “farm-to-table, international feel-good cuisine” with an “eclectically-curated menu of homemade dishes.”

Talk about #HairGoals

January 20, 2016 Rebecca Fernandez

If you’re like me, you’ve been lusting over all those beachy, bedhead-looking haircuts that have been all over Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook these days. After endless tries to duplicate these hair goals I see all over the internet, I decided to treat my hair to a day of luxury at an Instagram-famous salon.

I’ve been following an Instagram account for the past year who is actually a girl I knew growing up. Little did I know that @thefashionisa wouldn’t just be a friend I had 100 mutual friends with, and someone I knew that decided to go to beauty school; but an actual hair goddess that I am forever grateful for (even if I just started going to her in November).

When I finally realized how much I needed to get my hair back to looking more natural and Pinterest perfect, I called Isa at IGK Salon at SLS and made my first appointment.

My Most Favorite Food…And Story!

November 10, 2015 Rebecca Fernandez

During my annual girls trip in NYC this weekend, I had the most inspirational lunch at #MyMostFavoriteFood where Doris Schechter shares her family’s amazing journey that spans four generations, three countries, and countless shared meal recipes!

This kosher restaurant, in the upper west side of the city, is a warm account of one family’s journey to America and how food kept them close long after their arrival. I have the pleasure of knowing the family personally. One of my best friends from the University of Miami, and my little sister in my sorority, is Doris’ granddaughter, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be able to share and experience time with this inspiring family. Plus- I got to meet Doris’ biggest role model and friend, Ruth Gruber.

Adidas Game Day Fashion

October 30, 2015 Rebecca Fernandez

So Adidas decided to hit Nike where it hurts — at least sentimentally. The University of Miami was the original Nike school. Back in 1987 they signed a deal with Nike to exclusively supply uniforms for all of its teams. That’s common practice now, but at the time it was unheard of. Apparently, however, Nike didn’t want to keep shelling out the big bucks and Adidas swooped in. It offered Miami a 12-year-deal (the longest deal Adidas has with any school), rumored to be worth as much as $90 million. And the University of Miami students could not be happier! We now have an endless amount of game day options! My personal favorite? This Miami Hurricanes Jersey Dress!

Miami Smokers

October 22, 2015 Rebecca Fernandez

You can’t be in Miami without having lechon at some point… And owners of Miami Smokers, Andres Barrientos and James Bowers, cure and smoke Heritage Breed pasture-raised pigs in tons of different ways to satisfy to these needs! Chances are you’ve had a taste of their no antibiotic and hormone-free candied bacon in a burger at Kush, in the chicken and waffles at Eating House, or in some ice cream at Azucar. But how about making a stop at their own restaurant in Little Havana?!

“We wanted to be in Little Havana because we wanted to be within the Miami city limits, and it’s what we’re all about,” says Barrientos.
