British singer songwriter Yola released her debut album in 2016, but it was her 2019 release of Walk Through Fire that brought her national attention and three Grammy nominations. Listen to this Tiny Desk At Home concert and hear why she is so loved! We think she should go on the Hall's lists of future performers.

If you cook, don't watch this video.
This video showcases the cooking spaces of celebrities like Zedd, Nate Berkus, and Chelsea Handler. The kitchens in this video are gorgeous, and most are rarely used. If you are over 21 years of age, enjoy cooking, and don't have kitchens that look like the ones these celebrities have, ease your pain with a drinking game. While watching this video, take a shot anytime you spot an abundance of lemons in giant bowls on pristine counter tops.

Game of Thrones - we watched it, we love it! (The last season could have been better, but we give them credit for wrapping up the story lines.) It is the perfect bingeable series. If you've already watched it, go ahead and watch again!
