Spring Break

9:00 on Sunday night and I am tucked away in bed, wearing some of my oldest J. Crew pajamas, and eating a Sprinkles cupcake. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I fully believe that I live a perfectly glamourous life. I just finished a weekend filled with laughs, love, too much food, dancing, photo booths, cupcakes, and memories. It's weekends like these that I wish there were just a few more hours tacked on to Saturday and Sunday so I could keep this perfect weekend alive for a little bit longer.

If you are reading this, that means it is Monday morning. You might be at work, at home on the couch, or enjoying a week off from school during Spring Break. This is the first year that I haven't had the liberty of enjoying a nice, week-long break during the spring but that doesn't mean I can't pretend. I have been spending way too much time browsing the Swimsuit category of my favorite online shops, perusing beach vacation spots on Travel + Leisure, and using the two weekends on either side of Spring Break as my mini vacation days. This week I was able to enjoy time in Dallas and employed my favorite motto while there, "I can eat whatever I want, I'm on vacation". This coming weekend I will be taking a three-day trip to Charleston, SC with my family where my motto will be in full force again!

No matter what you are doing this week, enjoy these links to get you through the dreaded Monday and be sure to check back tomorrow for a very exciting post!

Christmas Tunes

I do love Christmas music, but I am not one of those people that can listen to it all-year round. I believe that it has a perfect time and that is the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Growing up my family listened to the same Christmas CD's every year on our 6-disc CD changer. I can't wait to tell my grandchildren about how we used to listen to music on circular discs!

I loved these CD's because I knew the songs by heart and could predict which song was going to play next because we listened to them so often. I also loved these songs because they were classics. Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Burl Ives and Nat King Cole were some of my favorites by age 7 and they are still my favorite Christmas crooners. 

While I still love the classic Christmas music, I will admit that there are some modern songs that I enjoy too. It is vital that you have the perfect Christmas playlist for this time of the year or you will get stuck listening to the Chipmunks on the radio too many times. 

This is a condensed version of my favorite holiday hymns but my whole playlist is on Spotify!

Perfect playlist for a dinner party too!

Now Playing

I get on these music kicks when I listen to the same songs over and over and over again on my iTunes. They are usually my most recently purchased and I can't stop listening to them or singing them in my house, in my car, and on the sidewalk. Oh embarrassing, someone just walked by and made a face at me.

So today there are no pictures, just a playlist of some of my favorite songs that you should listen to, on iTunes or YouTube or however you please.
