Tuesday Tunes: Mixtape of My Life

So I saw Lauren post this post and I knew that I had to do one of my own!

I present to you:

1. I am a Disney Girl at heart and spent pretty much my entire childhood obsessed with all the classic Disney movies. Sleeping Beauty is my Favorite movie and Belle is my favorite princess. Both of these songs pretty much were sang throughout my childhood.

2. As a tween I became obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, and 98 Degrees. All equally. I don't play favorites. Nick Lachey is still a hottie though.

3. In high school I fell madly in love with drama. Little Shop of Horrors started it all. I was a Do Wop Girl. I hadn't even tried out for the play but I got a call from the drama teacher one night saying they needed a high soprano and I was pretty well known for having a large vocal range and thus began something wonderful.

4. Senior Year I was driving my own car and driving my brothers to and from school daily. They were subjected to whatever I happened to fancy at the time. They both recall this one as absolute torture.

But as Dean Says....

5. I also have an intense love for Classic Rock. My husband loves this fact about me. (This song in particular....my maiden name was Black)

6. My First Concert was at 19 years old and I went with my Dad to see ZZ Top.

7. My husband and my first dance was this one and I still love it.

8. This was also our wedding song....but he and I only played it for one another since we didn't want to offend anyone with the language at the wedding.

9. This song is the one that I listened to pretty much on repeat during my pregnancy and after Kyra was first born.

10. Now my days are once again filled with Disney music. But if we are in the car this is the song that Kyra wants to dance around to. 

What songs would be on your mix tape? I'd love to know!!!

Tuesday Tunes: October Playlist

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I thought I would share with you my October Playlist! Now these are the songs that I listen to pretty much throughout the entire month. Some are Halloween themed, some are just songs that make me think of October...though I have no good reason as to why. Hope you enjoy! 

 I really wanted to embed all the music for you all but it just wasn't happening and I thought it was too many for YouTube videos. If you see a song you haven't heard of I did make sure that all of them had a video on YouTube so you can check them out there!

 Do you have playlists for specific months? Songs that remind you of a certain times of the year? Let me know in the comments below!

Tuesday Tunes: Workout Playlist

Good Morning Everyone, 

I try to get in my 10,000+ steps every single day. My Vivofit helps keep me on track but unfortunately in order to get those steps I actually have to...you know...walk.

Today I am going to share with you my current Workout Playlist! It's guaranteed to get you moving! (Be Warned most of these are safe for work! Headphones STRONGLY recommended!)

1. Turn Down For What @ LilJon

2. Wiggle @ Jason Derulo

3. Fireball @ Pitbull

Tuesday Tunes: My High School Playlist

Good Morning Everyone, 

So I was cleaning out the basement yesterday (2015 is the year of the purge. I have gotten rid of so much stuff!) and happened upon my MASSIVE CD case. This was way back when CDs were cool and MP3s were not even really heard of yet.

Anyhow I took a browse through my case only to come across this gem: 

I had no idea what was on this disc but apparently they were my Jamz (oh that z....) and I thought...hey wouldn't it be fun to show the entire world how ridiculous my taste in music was in high school? Thus this post was born. 

Now I popped this thing into my computer and fired it up. I knew it was going to be good because of course Grace Note couldn't find the names of the songs. So I had to identify them myself as I listened along. Awesome.

Here's the playlist (don't judge!) 

1. Birthday- 50 cent
2. I Do- Toya
3.Young'n- Fabolous
4.The Whole World- Outkast
5.Gossip - Missy Elliot
6.Work It- Missy Elliot
7.Separated- Offspring 
8.Fly for a White Guy- Offspring
9. Perfect Day- Offspring
10. Original Prankster- Offspring
11. She Hates Me- Puddle of Mud
12. Skillz- All For One
13. Feuer Frei- Rammstein
14. Let the Bodies Hit the Floor-Drowning Pool
15. I will be heard- Hatebreed 

I can feel your judgement. 

 

It's okay. I was a weird kid and had strange taste in music, but basically I just liked about any genre as long as it sparked something. A lot of these songs were to get me going for a cheer-leading event or to help me write story scenes. I admit freely that some of them are ridiculous and yes I shook my head more than a few times in absolute shame for my younger self, but hey it is what it is! 

Still have any of your old mixes from high school? Would our musical tastes have been at all similar? Let me know in the comments!

Tuesday Tunes: The Top Ten Mix

Good Morning Everyone,

Today I thought it would be fun to continue with some more Tuesday Tunes! I decided that I would put my phone on shuffle and write down the first ten songs that came up. It's a little throwback to the MySpace era of things but hey it sounded fun and I thought if anyone else wanted to join in that would give me a reason to put some more songs on the playlist! 

Okay so after running the ten songs I have come to the conclusion I like a real mish mash of things. Yeah.....

1. Problem- Ariana Grande

 

2. Better Dig Two- The Band Perry

 

3. How It's Done- District 78

 

4. Like Real People Do- Hozier

 

5. Sultans of Swing- Dire Straits

 

6. Stubborn Love- Lumineers



7. On My Own- Les Miserables



8. Work Bitch- Britney Spears



9. Turn Down for What- Lil Jon



10. Let It Go- Frozen



Okay so let's have it everyone. If you put your phone on shuffle what are the first ten songs to play? No cheating because that is not as fun!!! There will be no judgement on my end...trust me!

Tuesday Tunes: A New Series

Morning Everyone,

So my week is pretty much shaping up to be pretty....well crap. However after doing my heavy handed post yesterday where you all let me whine a bit I am here to bring a little humor to your Tuesday. 

I've decided to do a series of posts called Tuesday Tunes. I've done posts before with the title but I got to thinking about how much fun they are so I thought I would just go ahead and make it a series. Plus it makes it much easier to write posts that already have a theme. I need a little structure in my life. 

Anyhow I saw this post a while ago on Reddit and then it popped up again in my Facebook Feed. The video is just adorable and basically describes how I feel after a weekend of cleaning only to have my husband come home and just leave his dirty laundry all over the place, clutter up my table again, and leave dishes out for me this morning. Seriously he is worse than the one year old....

So here is the video, hope you all enjoy, Have a great Tuesday and join me back here for Confession Day tomorrow!
