Everybody get up

If this doesn't scream Happy Friday then I don't know what does.

We're off to the beach for two days, then celebrating my baby sister's twenty-first birthday on Sunday.
And this song will most definitely be in our party playlist.

Have a freakin' awesome weekend everyone.

The I-have-to-get-through-my-Monday Playlist

Here's a little something to help you get through your Monday. I know that music always makes me feel productive and good all over. I hope this gives you motivation to start that big project, get through your pile of paper work, or get all the chores done.

If you have a certain song or playlist that helps you be all productive-like, please share!

Happy Monday!

Jams

I have a problem. With 900 + songs on my iPod, I am bored. How is that possible? I skip seventy percent of the songs that the shuffle plays. What's wrong with me? Does anyone else have this problem? I can't seem to find fresh enough music for my hard to please self. Or maybe it is just because I don't have the patience to look for it. Whatever the reason, I am dead tired of all my music. To the point where I'd rather listen to my own thoughts than the radio, my iPod or a CD. I know, it is a pretty desperate state over here people. BUT THIS! This playlist - no matter how random the selection may be (please don't laugh) - will always put a smile on face.

They are my jams.
(I don't know, maybe they'll turn into yours too!)

Have a great tune that will make me dance? Do share!

Blood Brothers

Ingrid Michaelson is by far one of my favorite artists. Her latest album and I are kind of in a long-term relationship right now. We bring each other breakfast in bed and spend serious amounts of time together. But my love for her doesn't stop there. Her insanely creative music videos wrap their arms around me and woo me till I'm weak in the knees.

Friday tunes to love

5.11.2012


Oh yeah! These are some of current favorites to listen to in the car, when I'm cleaning, cooking, or warming up in class. It's my "perfect for any scenario" music. So here you go. Happy Friday folks. Have a few songs that you're especially loving lately? Please leave me a comment & share with me! I can never have enough new music.



loving lately

Cage the Elephant might be my new favorite group. And this song especially has been making me smile a lot lately. I think I listen to it at least twenty times a day. Mmmm make that thirty. 

This weekend was super busy for us over here. Teaching, driving with the top down, dinner with family, errands, chicken coop preparations, etc. Hence this post instead of something really cool.

Anyway... Enjoy the song. I'll be back to regular posting this week. Oh! And keep your eyes peeled for a Handmade by Nicole giveaway on one of my very best friend's blogs!

Shake Me Down (Acoustic) by Cage the Elephant on Grooveshark

love for the recently added

3.27.2012

When you listen to music as much as a dance teacher does, it's easy to get bored and down right annoyed with playing the same songs day after day.

There is something about listening to a song for the very first time that makes me feel all giddy inside. It's refreshing and in a weird dancer-way, it gets my creative side working a little bit differently.

Yesterday I spent a big chunk of my morning searching for some new tunes. Well, new to me anyway. And holy lots of awesome songs batman. I loaded them all into my iTunes and let the love for my recently added playlist begin.

I've listened to it in the car, while doing chores, while showering and well.. as I write this.

So here is a very small portion of my recently added playlist for your lovely little ears to consume! Because I know how exciting it is to find new music on my favorite blogs. Hopefully some of these are new to you.

Happy listening!



My Happy Monday Music

3.19.2012

This playlist is on repeat in my house today. It makes my soul happy in ways that music really should. It's a little bit of everything. But it is also kind of a big music mess. See, I don't really separate my playlists by genre (ever), so I'm just warning you.. there is nothing organized about it. But I promise, if you're anything like me when it comes to music, it will make you feel so happy and energized, that you'll jump on the couch and run around the house opening all the windows so that the rest of the world can hear it.

your welcome.

"life is a maze & love is a riddle"

I heard this song on pandora earlier today. As soon as it got to the chorus, I was convinced that it would be perfect for a jazz routine. What do you think?
I'm in love with the lyrics. Very true to life. In a cute and fun way that people can relate to. I love songs like that.
Too bad I already have all my recital and competition music picked out. However, it's never too early to start making decisions about next year, right?!

For the past week or so, I've been suffering from allergies or a nasty cold. Neither allergy medicine nor common cold medicine has made a difference, which is why I'm not sure which it is.
In any case, Mike Doughty's voice soothes my soul. Enjoy!


my friday songs

Hip Hip Hooray! You made it to Friday. Can you believe it?! I will spend my time teaching little ones to point their toes and turn like ballerinas.
These are some of my favorite tunes as of late and I hope you enjoy them. They are my perfect Friday songs, so have a listen. They will surely cheer you up if your stuck inside an office or slowly watching the clock move to the hour that you will be free from work!

nail art & new tuneage

Hello friends! Meet my tiny, ring-finger polka dots. I've been enjoying them a lot, but I think I might try to do some tiny hearts later on today. If I have the patience for it. I foresee only being able to finish the left, since painting (never-mind drawing little hearts) on the right hand is nearly impossible.


Something else that I've been enjoying since early this morning is Ingrid Michaelson's new album, "Human Again". It's amazing, so you've got to go listen/buy it! I saw her perform on Live with Kelly this morning and rushed to the iTunes store to buy it - and it has been on repeat ever since.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

beautiful day

 Happy Friday!

My Monday Song

9.19.2011

The first to play on my pandora station today. Couldn't have been any more perfect for my pain in the butt Monday.

Please slow it down
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun

Passing white daisies, taking turns
Close the door walk to the street
Catching raindrops on your tongue
And for a minute it all stops
But it won’t last man, just a passing moment gone

Please slow it down
There’s a secret place that I know
If I could a dig a grave I’d then climb underground for good
And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun

Passing white daisies, taking turns
All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment
They meant everything but the wind just carried them off
And you can’t go back now, just a passing moment gone

Please slow it down
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Cause I couldn’t let go of the passing moment gone

A favorite

One of my favorite songs on their album.


Thinking of those who were affected on this day ten years ago. Hard to believe so much time has passed. Praying for everyone who lost their lives. May they rest peacefully.
