When I first moved to Raleigh four years ago, I knew no one. I arrived with little more than a big suitcase and new Ikea furniture. On most nights, I went home and got cozy. I journaled, read books, watched TV and took a lot of baths. After college, a few breakups and moving from San Francisco, I needed a breather. I savored the time alone…
I love Christmas music. As soon as we were finished with our Thanksgiving leftovers, I started pulling together mixes and new stations on Pandora. There’s something about holiday tunes that gets me in the spirit and lifts my mood. I’ll have this list playing in the background while finishing up our Christmas cards, wrapping gifts and baking cookies…
I love putting together playlists and listening to music throughout the day. This Autumn Playlist is a perfect blend of mellow songs for chilly weather. I plan on listening to it while blogging, working through my emails at work, and folding laundry this weekend…
It’s been a quiet and productive day. Target and Whole Foods in the morning. Laundry tumbling in the dryer through the afternoon. Chili cooking in the crockpot for dinner. Autumn’s approaching. The sun goes down earlier with each day. I’ve created a new playlist for the coming of fall, the farewell to summer. Songs4September. I hope you enjoy…
Oh my goodness! Can you feel that? It’s the love, sparkle and magic of summer, blended with extreme joy from your sweet comments. I am in a contemplative, brainstormy mood and created a playlist to match…
Hello my friends! I’ve crafted a fresh playlist for you. A blend of sweet beats, mellow moments and lovely lyrics, this one is good for snuggling at home during an April shower. On the flip side, I imagine it would be great for a drive up the California coast at sunset…
While training for my first half marathon, I was constantly in search of fun pump up songs to add to my playlist. After three months, I had a good compilation of upbeat pop tunes and dirty hip hop jams. The night before my big run I sat down for one last time, perfecting the order and making sure I didn’t have any songs I would want to skip…
March is by far my favorite month. My little brother and I both celebrate our birthdays, plus St. Patty’s Day is always fun. This year I will also be pushing to finish my first 1/2 marathon on the 20th. In addition to welcoming March with a smile, I created a playlist to inspire love, determination, celebration and joy as I lean into this month and all its gifts…
I hope you all had lovely Thanksgivings. Ours was quiet, simple and full of gratitude. It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted here since November 21 – this might be my longest break in blogging history. I feel like quickly catching you up on all the happenings before fully diving into December & Reverb 10…
I pulled this playlist together a few weeks ago and have been listening to it on repeat ever since. There’s a calmness to the songs, and a subtle romance to the way they mix together. Download the mix for your iPhone, or burn a CD for your sweetie. I’ve found this playlist to be a perfect accompaniment for the shifting of seasons. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do…
