Fall Chill | 10.24.24

Fall is my favorite season. The crisp sweater weather, the changing leaves, and soups and stews. My boyfriend was making fun of my feet being cold and called me “popsicle toes” and it immediately made me think of Michael Franks’ song of the same name. With the change in the weather and finally turning the heat on, I played “Popsicle Toes” in the car and let the my playlist chose the rest. Here is a wonderful list of some of the songs that followed.

Momma Inspired | 3.30.24

I love music, hence the playlists, and the person who introduced me to music is my mother. I was exposed to an array of music styles and artists growing up, and even now I strive to find unknown and unique artists and songs that speak to my overall aesthetic. Music is something I listen to everyday and randomly have in my head (I swear I’m going to make a playlist of the songs that pop into my head randomly). Well, this playlist is inspired by my mom and some of the songs that she either introduced me to, loves herself, or just make me think of her. I know it’s not Mother’s Day or anything, but you don’t need a special holiday to honor your parents.
