Song of the Week - Love In Motion (feat. Mayer Hawthorne)

happy first monday of august!  where has the summer gone?!

 

i know that i have been MIA lately, but work and life has been keeping me busy and on my toes!  i have missed blogging as a release for my brain, and am hoping that i will be able to be back on her on a regular basis.  but sometimes things come up that cause you to push pause your hobbies, take in all the things around you and then return to normal and push play. 

 

that said, i had to share this awesome song that is just perfect for the last few weeks of summer.  sebastian's "love in motion" is so good!  it's a little bit 80's, dance worthy and has just a hint of prince to it.  and i LOVE it!

 

be sure to add it to your next summer bbq or road trip playlist for guaranteed smiles and cheers!

Song of the Week - Harlem

anybody else wish they knew how to break dance? 

i am loving the new politics "harlem" song oh so much this summer.  it's a little bit punk and a lot of fun!  plus it makes me want to dance or take a road trip with my head out the window hair blowing in the wind.  pure fun and excellence!

Song Of The Week: Can't Hold Us

new favorite running song.  period.  "can't hold us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis totally jacks me up and i'm pretty sure it makes these short little stubs run just a little bit faster.  so good!

not sure if i mentioned it to y'all but i signed up for the revlon run/walk for women los angeles 5k and have committed to running the entire thing.  now i realize that 5k may not be a lot to some of you, but for me, this will be the longst continuous run i have done...ever. 

if you live in los angeles, it's not too late to register and join in on the fun, or if you live outside of la and want to donate (and help me reach my goal of $1000) please click here (even $5 helps!). 

happy monday friends!

Q1 Gym Jams - "Run It" Playlist

 

i am not by any means at all a "runner".  but lately i have been inspired to work on my running game and possibly sign up for a 5k this year.  i am currently leaning towards the Revlon Run/Walk for Women in may...

 

in any case, i cannot possibly keep my feet running on that treadmill unless i have some highly motivating beats.  my "run it" playlist is 41 minutes long and allows a 3 miles run and some cool down time. 

 

if you need a little kick in the butt, i think this playlist might just do it for you!

 

enjoy!

 

 

Song Of The Week: I Love It

i love it.  no really i love the song "i love it". 

i first heard it on perhaps the best episode of girls ever and immediately downloaded it the next day for our trip to vegas.  and wouldn't you just know that this very song played at the club we went out at and i was as happy as a clam. 

besides going out and dancing, this song is another excellent gym jam.  i just run on the treadmill and completely lose track of time for the 3 minutes it is on. 

i love it.

Song of the Week ~ Scream & Shout

i want to scream & shout today because i leave for vegas until friday and then celebrate my b*day weekend! woot woot!

for reals though, this song is my new fave to listen to on repeat while i run on the treadmill.  perfectly upbeat and fun.  plus i have to admit i love the "britney bitch" part.  classic.

add this song to your getting ready mix or workout mix immediately!

Song of the Week ~ Sweet Nothing

florence welch + calvin harris = sweet nothings in my ears. 

oh me oh my how i adore this song.  it is not surprising considering i love both the artists on their own, but putting them together is just pure genius. 

fantastic gym jam and overall spirit lifter, let this sweet nothing into your life immediately!
