1.

HAPPY ED SHEERAN DAY!!

Yes, the day has finally come, Divide is here!

And thank goodness because I was running out of versions of Shape of Me to listen to. 

2. 

March definitely came in like a lion with tornado sirens, flash flood alerts, and some Oz worthy winds. But at least your tech can look cute with Ashley Brooke's monthly lock screen!

3.

Everyone knows how much I love my main man Ed, but Lorde released new music this week too. Green Light had me car dancing, shower dancing, chair dancing, bed dancing, kitchen dancing... 

4.

Follow along online each day, you won't regret it!

The first Friday of Lent is here,  don't forget.. no meat! #fishsticks #cheesepizza #macandcheese

Dance all, Dance all, Dance all night

Let me be the first to say it, I have been worthless when it comes to blogging lately. 

But that has in-directly inspired today's post.

I have blogged countless time how sometimes working a ton isn't necessarily a bad thing because you find some really good music. Well, this week has been no exception.

Here are 5 songs I currently have on repeat:

Spotify may not have any of T-Swift's albums anymore but they do have New Music Tuesday.
The 1975's new single graced the top of this playlist this morning and now it graces mine.
Any good songs I left off? Leave a comment below! 

You can try and take us

I could ramble on for a whole post about this, but I'm gonna let the lyrics speak for themselves.

Lorde's Pure Heroine is pure genius.

I'm #obsessed.

Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killing it. Never not chasing the million things I want.

Baby be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears.

You can try and take us, but we're the gladiators. Glory and gore go hand in hand. You can try and take us, but victory's contagious.

I'm kinda over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there. I'm kinda older than I was when  I rebelled without a care, so there.

We're never done with killing time, can I kill it with you?

And I like you, where we can talk like there's somthing to say.

And I like you, I'm glad we stopped kissing to talk.

I'd like it if you stay.



Chill song, get my groove on

I had my go to songs, Pandora stations, Spotify playlists in college depending on what I was working on. Studying, writing a paper, blogging all had different soundtracks. And now I'm Awesome Hire Me Part 2 has slowly started to have its own soundtrack. The always gorgeous and much needed transition into fall has influenced my music choices the past couple days too. Spent the morning on the back deck of mom and dad's house enjoying the warm sun and cool breezes. Here are some of my new favorites, hope you find some motivation, inspiration, peace from them too!
