mondays are better with music.

Aside from an organized planner, starting the week of with new tunes is a great mood-lifter. Every Monday before I start chugging along at work, I always check to make sure all my Spotify playlists are up to date. My favorite playlist right now is "Sweet Afternoons of Sangria" - it reminds me of Seattle, indie hipsters and just makes me want to run outside in the sun with feathers in my hair, dressed in a maxi skirt and lace-crochet mini-vest and classic ray bans, all topped with a fedora. Enjoy!
