P.S. As you'll hear in this playlist, Wax Tailor is awesome. I love how he samples what sounds like real old movie clips & turns it into something so fresh & dance-worthy.

Mixtape Monday::Sleep Tight

As noted in my most recent post, it has been a busy past several days for me so for this week's Mixtape Monday & I have hardly had time to just relax. So, to get me in the mood to unwind this week, I've selected tracks from a large playlist I have had on my itunes account & that I have kept adding to over the past few years. That playlist is called "Sleepy" and it's my go-to place for music for relaxing.

So grab some hot tea, slip into your coziest pajamas, 

and unwind to these eight tracks this week.

Introducing::Mixtape Monday

I've always wanted to incorporate music into my blog & I have, as you might have noticed, used song titles or lyrics as titles of some blog posts. That said, I've decided to start a segment here on my blog titled "Mixtape Mondays" which is intended to provide a nice set of tracks to get you through the week.

So here we are, the very first installation of "Mixtape Monday".

Download these tunes, grab your best set of headphones or rock out in the car on the way to work/school, whichever you prefer to do... please enjoy.
