Monthly Playlist: November & December

Hello guys; the past couple of months have simply flown by for me! My boyfriend has started a new job and I’ve been working a lot, as well as enjoying some general me time. Part of me feels guilty for neglecting the blog, particularly as it was such a good outlet for me when I wasn’t feeling my best in terms of mental health but unfortunately sometimes life is for living and the extra work of writing and uploading blog posts was an extra something that I simply didn’t have any time for. Over the past couple of months I’ve noticed that I’ve been listening to music a lot less as I’ve been suffering with some painful tension headaches, so I’ve been preferring to read as opposed to listening to a variety of sounds. It feels like it has been years since I’ve not listened to music whilst on bus journeys but I needed a bit of a break. I have, however, been listening to the songs below on speakers which makes for nice background noise. Each of these songs brings to the fore a specific memory for me; do any of you have specific songs that you connect with a memory? I’d love to know that it’s not only me haha! Fingers crossed I’ll have sorted out my life enough to start posting more regularly on here again as I have missed it. Until next time! Xxx

Monthly Playlist: July

Hello to July and to finally getting organised enough to write a blog post! At the minute I’m not really sure where I’m going with my blog; I love the blogging community and ultimately, I love writing and taking photos so it genuinely is something that I enjoy but at times I’m feeling like I simply am falling out of love with it. I’m a perfectionist and I’m always thinking that my content is shit, regardless of how much or how little effort I put into this blog. However, I work full time and I do enjoy blogging, I think I need to be less hard on myself and not constantly force creativity when it’s not naturally coming along. As always, this is a massive staple blog post and it’s one that I really love; I’m a nosy person and I feel like you can get to know a lot about someone by their musical tastes, so below are a range of songs, artists and genres in no particular order. I love music, it really helps me to relax and get into the zone for work, travel or even just a better mood. Are there any songs that have captured your heart at the moment?

1. Holiday - Green Day

2. One of the Drunks - Panic! At The Disco

3. Boom Clap - Charli XCX

4. Havana - Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug

5. Love Lies - Khalid & Normani

6. Échame La Culpa - Luis Fonsi & Demi Lovato

7. Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day

8. Dying In LA - Panic! At The Disco

14. Fall For You - Bethan Leadley

15. Hot ‘N Cold - Katy Perry

June Playlist

Hello again guys; I feel like I've lost my way with blogging a lot recently, although to an extent that is due to having replaced blogging as a hobby with reading, oops. I'm planning to get back into it over the next couple of months as I do miss blogging, but sometimes creativity needs a rest; plus I would rather blog less with good content than more with lacklustre content. This month I treated myself to a new iPod, a 16gb version which allows me to enjoy more music on the go without having to stress about internet or apps such as Spotify being on an iPhone; yes it's a bit old fashioned, but it works for me. I listen to music a lot when I'm making a journey, by bus, walking, etc. as I've found that it really lifts my mood. None of the songs listed below are in any particular order, they're simply the songs that I've found myself listening to constantly this month, I've been loving rediscovering old favourites at the moment alongside a couple of new loves. What songs are you loving at the moment? Let me know in the comments! :)

Hello again guys; it’s that time of the month where I collate fifteen songs that I’ve been loving to listen to on my journeys to and from work. As anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now will know, I always use an old iPod rather than my iPhone as I just find it easier; not only does it save some space on my iPhone, it also means I don’t have to drag a huge iPhone out of my bag to change songs, this iPod is small and lightweight so easily fits in my coat pocket, ready to be shuffled if I want to do so. I do have a fairly eclectic taste in music as I do listen to a huge variety of artists; what I choose to listen to is definitely influenced by my mood. During October, I’ve been enjoying high tempo, quite angsty music with some dance which is a bit random, but I’ve been loving these songs. Let me know in the comments what music you’ve been loving this month! :)

In all honesty, it was a little bit of a nightmare finding 20 songs that I loved that were released this year; you'd probably guessed from the way I detail a list of songs I'm obsessed with every month on this blog that I'm an avid listener to music. The main issue is that I listen to literally every genre of music, my iPod holds songs by Kanye West, Little Mix, Gallows, White Lies... You can pretty much name any genre and I'll have at least one song on the iPod from it. 20 songs wasn't really enough for me, but I needed to limit myself somewhere, haha. The songs listed above are the 'most listened' to on my iPod throughout this year and I think it definitely shows how my mood swings have been really up and down this year, but on the whole I've listened to this ones whilst on a journey on public transport so they're on the whole quite loud and upbeat as I don't like hearing the sounds of traffic much. Buses and especially the tube are so noisy! Hopefully 2017 will bring out some amazing songs too, just like some of these.
