01 // Mix Tape

To celebrate Valentine's day and my love for mix tapes I've decided to share some of my favorite love jams. I love listening to love songs especially when I was in high school oh my goodness I had The Smiths & The Cure on repeat that's all that went into my ears. I'll tell you what they don't make love songs like they use to no body makes you feel passion like Otis Redding he was always added to my mix tapes luckily my husband now owns the Master copy. If you are making a love mix for your significant other this year here are some you might want to add.

If you've listen to my playlists you would know I'm a huge indie rock fan. I don't necessarily like to call it that because it makes me sound like a "hipster" which I am not. But I am a fan of music especially rock. I love discovering new bands and sharing the love so here are a couple of songs I've been listening to. I hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!

No one can sing about love like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Otis Redding and Janis. When it came to looking for songs to make this love mix the only way I could go was old school. There's a reason why these songs are still relevant - because they are original and believable. I find it so hard to hear someone like Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift sing about heart break or love, it just isn't believable. Whereas Janis and Otis' heart break is so genuine. With that being said I leave you with some of my all time favorite love songs. Wishing you a wonderful Valentines day.

Since Valentines day is just around the corner I can't help but overload on love songs leading up to the day. I remember my high school days making mix tapes(that's right tapes) for boyfriends and hand picking each song with some hidden meaning. I haven't made a mix tape in decades and well it was time to dust some mix's off and share them with you guys.

 Hope you guys enjoy them.

Summer Playlist : vol.10

Since summer is coming to an end it's going to start (if it already hasn't) getting colder and harder to keep up with your work outs. One thing I enjoy doing is running especially in the colder months (less sweaty) so lets not stop once summer is over lets keep going. Running clears my mind and helps me sort stuff out. If you're a walker, elliptical-er, treadmill-er, or runner lets keep it going all year long. Today I'm sharing one of my running playlist it's a mix of old/new and should get you through 2 miles smoothly. Hope you enjoy it. On your mark , get set , go!

 

 

 



Summer Playlist : vol 9 (Labor day weekend edition)

Photo via

Labor day is here and all I've been playing are The Beach Boys, Paul Simon and Violent Femmes. Groups that instantly take me to the beach. Just listening to Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys I picture my husband on a boogie board playing in the water. Even though I can't swim I still love spending time by the water, even if it's just floating around on a raft or watching the waves crash into the sand. When we lived in the Gulf Coast we didn't take full advantage of living minutes from the beach. Now that we don't have quick access , I miss it . So this weekend we will play tourist , lay out by the pool and just enjoy the next four days off. Yay for holidays.
Have a great weekend.


 

Summer Playlist : vol. 8

Weekends are sneaking up on me these days, it seems like one minute I'm complaining about Monday and the next it's already Friday. This weekend I plan on enjoying my last weekend before school starts next week. Hoping for warm weather, laying pool side with Vogue's Sept. issue and just relaxing. I hope you have a wonderful weekend .

 

 

Summer Playlist : vol 7

Summer's almost over and I'll miss sugar free popsicles, fresh fruit, driving with my sunroof open, my Zara sandals I'm certain won't be cut out for the snow, and my panama hat. Until then I will be savoring every sunny day, enjoy each popsicle and wear the heck out of my sandals.
Since September will be pretty hectic for us we plan on relaxing and enjoy our weekends the rest of the month. Also I am beyond excited for the new Franz Ferdinand album coming out next month , seeing them in December and this weekend I'll be blaring Love Illumination in my car and in my home. (current fave song, I can't get enough of it)
