Since I’m away this week, I had a good friend of mine, Kristin, make us a playlist to enjoy! She’s really good at picking out music, and pulled out all the stops for this one. I’m serious, folks. Fifteen songs! Dang. Here’s what she had to say :
“Hi guys! Super pumped to be bringing some tune-age for you to enjoy today! I’m a bit of a mixtape making fanatic ( don’t ask me to count how many playlists I have in iTunes ), and I tend to compile my mixes based on a specific feeling or mood from a small moment in time. This particular musical moment comes from a soft, foggy morning and embracing the transition of seasons from end of winter to early, early spring. Subdued yet bright – what I consider the perfect marriage of winter and spring. Happy listening!”

Man, it’s been AWHILE since my last published mixtape. I have no excuse other than being busy + maybe running out of ideas for a little bit there. I usually have a small handful of playlists that I add to every once in awhile, but nothing felt finished until this week. The tracks in this one are pretty inspirational and make you feel like kicking but for the day. That’s always good, right?? Plus, the Backstreet Boys are in this one. Sorry I’m not sorry. Listen & enjoy below!

This week’s mix is a little slower, but progressive. I don’t know about you – but I always like music that makes me move forward. Whether I’m driving in the car or working at my desk … there’s nothing like it. There are two songs from Morcheeba in this one ( woops ), who I only recently discovered and am loving. Feels a little bit like the music in Django, just so so cool. Listen below + enjoy!
