The Workout mix
Work out playlist #2 is my happy mood playlist. Its for the days when im already bouncing around excitedly and dont need a pick me up to remind me why I started my workout goals to begin with. All of the songs are older and more about personal excitement than beats or harmony. The memories of jumping, dancing, singing, and rapping along with this music in my past is enough to hype me up during my workout. So taking a very short ride down memories lane my first song on the playlist is Skrillex's First Of The Year. It gives me a chance to start off steady and build myself up for a nice positive session. Its an oldie but nothing has ever been made quite like it. Next up would be Imagine dragons- radioactive. This one also has a nice mellow start allowing me my 26 seconds of rest and then BOOM! The beat with this song helps me with my reps and I can actually move to the beat. I go full throttle until the end. I do a lot of cardio and hiit sessions so upbeat and fun types of songs are needed.

Survival of the Fittest
Let me first start by saying this; appearances can be deceiving. Nothing looks like it supposed to be. So imagine you see someone and associate them with a particular song. Well if you look at me, you would assume I listen to hip hop or rap. Mainly because of the color of my skin, and just my sheer size. Tank top, sweat pants, black gloves, and beanie hat; who wouldn't assume this about me in a gym. Not so much the case. There is a population of people who enjoy listening to this genre of music when they're exercising. I’m not going to say that I don't fancy a trap song here or there, however, I take a much different method. Usually equipped with black over-ear headphones, pre-workout shake, batman beanie, and a tattoo across my chest, and with my imagination, I take my mind to the other side.

13 Hip Hop & R&B tracks that grace my playlist
Gucci Frames - Asiahn This track is fueled by a ridiculous instrumental featuring a violinist. But that's not all. Layered on top of the hypnotic beat is Asiahn's distinctively piercing, emotion-filled voice. She hits notes that I imagine Sirens from Greek mythology being able to hit. The voice is piercing, the lyrics are hip and engaging but with a more precise vocal performance than we get from today's radio R&B artists. It's 120 seconds of pure vibe. She tweeted about a remix to elongate the joint so I guess I'll just have to wait with bated breath till she drops it.

Running on Empty
Girl. Let's face it, 2020 has been the year to end all years. Between quarantine, lockdowns, the general theme of uncertainty, and the unknown plaguing us all, I think I speak for many people when I say we all collectively just stopped caring for ourselves. Unless you were one of those people who could work out from home while balancing your toddler, your dog, and your zoom call, then I'm applauding you from my couch.

Animal Workout Playlist
If there's one thing I can live without, it's watching other people exercise. I don't want to see stretchy workout clothes on lithe bodies bending and bouncing with the dogged determination of a -- well, of a dog unless I can do the moves myself. Which I can't and never could.

Playlist of a 90's Stripper. Second Place in Melodic Milestone Playlist Challenge. Top Story - June 2023.
In my 20s, I loved clubbing and dancing the night away. A couple of weekends a month, I would get a babysitter for my two young daughters and hit the club scene with my girlfriends. It was a great way to unwind, socialize with old pals, and meet new people. I enjoyed getting a break from my usual mom gear (t-shirts & jeans, or sweats) to swap out for some heels, a sexy new dress, a fresh hairdo, and makeup. Oh, those sure were the days. My friends and I could move on that dance floor which caught much attention.

Lockdown Playlist
If it wasn’t for music, what would we do? Where would we be? I know for a fact that I would be in a pretty dark place if it wasn’t for music. I don’t think I would have achieved half the things I did without music motivating me. Anyone who knows me knows I have an eclectic taste of music, even though I think everyone has to some agree some say mine is more extreme.

Sweaty Betty: A Workout Playlist
So, it's lockdown 2.0 in England and the home workouts are back! No gym, just cardio around the nearest park, and leg and ab workouts all while you binge a new show on Netflix. The winter season has kicked in here in the UK, and it has brought all of its cold air and dark nights with it. It's definitely NOT the type of weather that's going to get you motivated.

The Best Halloween Music Videos
The Best Halloween Music Videos By: Alisha Allen My favorite time of year is Autumn. I love the color of the weather, smore’s, costume shopping, watching scary movies. That is definitely one of my favorite parts about Halloween. I love to cuddle up with a nice blanket and watch a good movie. There are so many good ones, too! I might do a movie review at some point, however right now there is something else that I want to talk about. Halloween music! I love to watch some Halloween music videos on Youtube. Nobody ever talks about Halloween music, mainly because they believe Halloween is the devil’s birthday. Everybody listens to Christmas music. Some even listen to it all year, however nobody ever talks about their favorite Halloween song. I want to help try and change that, which is why I have made a list of my favorite Youtube videos.
