I recorded this episode before going to the theatre but 'The Nutcracker' was absolutely magical! I'm grateful I can tick off this bucket list experience ✨

The flow of this episode is different to my regular ones so there aren't clear cut timestamps for this episode. These are my freeflowing reflections on the state of beauty in my life.

Shoutout to Jackie Aina tho

Today I talk about Sportpop, a term coined by Digifairy, to describe the mainstreaming of modern physical culture. I know the audio sucks, the software didn't select my microphone as the input 😭 I tried to edit it the best I could but unfortunately this is what we're working with. I thought the ideas were still worth putting out so this video's going up, but the microphone is just there for show atp 😭

Welcome to the first episode of Vocally Annotated! My name's Sarika and I'm your host of this new weekly series. I don't want to pin down what this show is about yet because I want to find my footing organically. If you're reading this, it's probably long after I posted it. I hope there's a fun evolution for you to observe!
