Still the Season (Christmas music pt. 6)

/ MB / Leave a comment

It is officially NOW the Christmas season!

Technically the month leading up to Christmas is advent and only after Christmas has the Christmas season officially begun, so that means – MORE MUSIC! 😀

#1: Merry Chreasmaugh by Tobuscus

#2: Time to Fall in Love by Lindsey Stirling

#3: Stuck in Love by Kim Kyung Hee (from Goblin)

#4: Underneath the Tree by Kelly Clarkson

#5: Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney

As you may have noticed, there’s none of the traditional Christmas Carols on any of these lists – but that’s not because I don’t love those! I just love singing those live at church and with my family. That’s why these lists are full of my favorite secular songs (unless there is a recorded version of a particular church carol that is good!)


Some of my favorite Classic Christmas Carols are:


Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
Silent Night
What Child is This
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Hark the Herald Angels Sing

I hope that your Christmas Day was filled with Jesus, family, love and happiness! ❤

Love you all! 🙂

Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve!!!!!! (music pt.5)

Christmas Songs! (pt. 1)

I love Christmas!!!

Every year for the last 15 years, during trick or treating on Halloween is when my dad busts out his Christmas playlist.

This year, thought I normally wait until after Thanksgiving to put up my Christmas tree, I simply couldn’t wait! I put it up mere days after Halloween – and I’m so happy I did. For some reason, now that I’m older, the Christmas season just always seems to fly by to fast.

So, anything I can do to make it last just a little bit longer, I’m going to do.

These are my (first) top 5 classic Christmas songs, that I have to hear every year no matter what!

#1: Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms

#2: The Christmas Song by Alvin & The Chipmunks

#3: It’s Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas by Bing Crosby

#4: Please Come Home For Christmas by Southside Johnny Lyon

#5: Santa Baby by Kylie Minogue

Aaaaagh all of these get me in the Christmas shopping, baking, decorating mood! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Merry (early) Christmas everyone!

More music to come! 😀 Subscribe to get it!

Songs to Clean to!

/ MB / Leave a comment

This past week, has been a DEEP CLEANING kind of week and, unless you are a full-blown psychopath, you need to have music playing while you clean!

To quote Snow White, “Just Whistle While You Work!”, or Giselle “Our Happy Little Working Song!”, or Mary Poppins, “And Snap! The Job’s a Game!” – those ladies weren’t crazy! They knew wassup.

Here are the top 5 playlists that we played during our work.

#1: Loki & Sylvie inspired music – nothing like some good old angst to get the dusting done!

#2: Gentle Jazz for Cooking – honestly this list is one of my new favorites! ❤

#3: Some Hallmark-y Christmas music (gotta start the season early or it’ll be over before you know it!)

#4: This show is so heartbreaking and chilling 😢 – but this playlist is FIRE!

#5: If you’re not imagining yourself in a battle respite scene while listening to this – then are you even ON an elevator??

Aren’t they great?

This is your wake-up call to go and scrub your ceiling.

Do it now!!!!

Music Recs: soulmate stuff :)

These songs are some of my top 5 ship, soulmate, otp (one true pairing songs).

Think Bellarke (Bellamy & Clarke from the 100), think Stydia (Stiles and Lydia from Teen Wolf)

#1: Start of Time by Gabrielle Aplin (obvi for Stydia)

#2: Where’s My Love by SYML (for Stydia canonically but fits perfect for Bellarke)

#3: Made of Stone by Matt Corby (from The Blacklist season 1, Liz & Ressler, not an otp but this song *chefs kiss*)

#4: Twice by Little Dragon (an original Delena [Damon and Elena from The Vampire Diaries] the first song that truly made me fall in love with them)

#5: Fangs by Little Red Lung (Haylijah!!! ❤ )

Hope you like the music 🙂

And be honest – are you a hopeless romantic fangirl like me?? Say yes, please say yes! xD
