The Song Ed Sheeran Wrote For Hilary Duff

Hey everyone, Rose here.  What better way to start out the week, than with a music video??
So, if you haven't noticed - I like Buzzfeed.  A lot.  One of the things I like the most, are the videos. 
Well, I stumbled across this one in an amazing article the other day, and I just had to share it.  

Hilary Duff at the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards red carpet. (Wikipedia)

Growing up, Hilary Duff was one of my inspirations.  She was for tons of girls my age, and with good reason!  She was sassy, confident, kind, generous, and a true good girl.  She was clumsy, but laughed about it.  She was dorky, but owned it.  She gave girls like me the licence to be themselves - flaws and all.  
To this day, I can't think of a better role model for young girls and young women than her.  If I ever had a daughter, I would encourage her to look up to the icon. Hilary, in all her awesomeness, took several years off from showbiz, to make and spend time with her family.  She got married, had a little boy, and sadly ended up separating from her husband (which breaks my heart).   She's put out a new album since then, but this single came out as well, and it's amazing.

I had no idea she hung out with Ed Sheeran - seriously, who doesn't he hang out with??  He's friends with like, everyone, and I'm not really surprised, cuz he seems awesome too. Anyway, apparently he wrote this song for her, and she then made a video of herself singing it on her front porch - how amazing is that?!? :D
To honor one of my long-held role-models, I'm sharing her video today.  So much love goes out to her, and while my heart breaks for her, I can't help but love her even more. 


So, what do you think of this video?  Does it sound like something Ed Sheeran wrote?  Do you like Hilary too?  Don't worry, I won't get offended if you didn't like it, or don't like her - not everyone does.  I'm curious to hear what you think though, so let me know in the comments below! Thanks for visiting, and please, share this post if you enjoyed it!

What Happened to Amanda Bynes??

I mean, seriously?  What happened to her?

She was a huge young adult, teen actress, and most of her films were pretty darn popular.  She had potential, talent, and worked very hard to build her name and reputation.

She seemed to roll off under the bus all the sudden, and spiraled very very quickly.  DUIs, rehab, random drugs and jail stints seemed back to back in the course of a few months.  One fiasco after another had a ton of people asking "WtF is going on with her!?"

Now, when she is spotted, she seems to be sporting cheek dermal piercings, bold wigs, and odd attire.

It certainly has me worried - she was a role model for me, for sure.  I hope to see her back to herself soon.  I know she's strong enough to pull herself back up, I just hope she hasn't lost too much of herself in whatever gutter pulled her under.

Crossing my fingers for Amanda Bynes - we miss you!
