good morning from maui! yesterday was the longest day but i made it to hawaii safe & sound and i’m already way more relaxed than i was just the other day! i swear i think i could live here all of the time – it’s so chill and it’s totally gorgeous – i already went swimming (about an hour after i landed) and the water was so surprisingly warm for being the ocean – and i also managed to pick up a little color (yes mom, i brought tons of sunscreen) anyways right now i’ve got the cover for kelly clarkson‘s new single my life would suck without you which is in sharp contrast to images from her last album my december (the album wasn’t a huge hit but i really liked it – i’m quite sure most fans of ms. clarkson did as well) i’m dying to hear some new material from her and it won’t be long now – this single is bound to leak to the web soon (it’s supposed to start getting radio play on january 19th) and then her 4th studio album (still untitled) will hit stores on march 17th! right now i’m heading off to pick up some snorkeling gear and hit the beach again – tonight i’ll be doing my pop nosh links – even while on vacation – there’s no break from blogging! popbytes over & out for now…xoxo
