Track-by-Track Album Review: Melanie Martinez's 'Cry Baby'

Mendes wrote for all of the tracks on this album (with the exception of three), hence the name “Handwritten”.

So I recently returned from a week-long vacation to Tennessee! I’m not a country girl and this trip experience certainly didn’t make me want to pack my bags and head down south any time soon, but I definitely had a great time. Here are some pictures from my trip & some details in case you plan on planning a vacation to Tennessee!
