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.

Sunday Vibes | 3.3.24

I know it’s Monday, but Sunday was a whole vibe. I asked Siri to play one song I couldn’t get out of my head, and the songs that followed were a perfect pair with the sunshine and cool breeze coming in the windows, added to the woodsy sandalwood incense. Yep, it was a mood. That mood inspired a playlist that I wanted to share to enjoy any time you just want to chill and relax.
