MARCH SOUNDTRACK

I discovered tons of new music this month — my March Soundtrack is 101 minutes of pure ear candy! This month I’ve been loving Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlists. If you’re not familiar with Spotify, each month they generate a new, 30 song playlist specifically customized to you and what you like to listen to. It’s been a great way for me to discover new music! I also heard quite a few tracks I liked via Sirius XM this month. My March Soundtrack is an eclectic mix of happy, feel good, easy listening tunes!

FEBRUARY SOUNDTRACK

This is the music I had on repeat during love month. Since I’ve started using Spotify, I feel like I’m able to explore all different genres (and time periods) of music much more fluidly. So, my February Soundtrack is a a really eclectic mash up of happy, feel good tunes! Overall, I’m just able to have a lot more freedom with these monthly soundtracks. February was a very inspired month for me, and I draw so much of my creative inspiration from the music I listen to. I discovered tons of new artists, but I also rediscovered some old favourites like alt-J. Since I had access to whatever I wanted, I went on a huge Beatles binge — so I’ve ended this playlist with my favourite Beatles song. If you’re looking for some great thinking and creating music, I think you’ll love this month’s mix.

Programming Note: beginning this month, I’m switching over to Spotify exclusively for monthly soundtracks. If you’re a Spotify user too, come join me over there!

JANUARY SOUNDTRACK

My January Soundtrack is full of happy, eclectic, beachy tunes — I’ve been transporting myself away from our cold Alberta winters via music (in stark contrast to this month’s album cover!). I feel like I was really on my musical game in January and discovered so many new artists via Sirius XM. I have a few favourite channels that I listen to while I work, and I did so much Shazamming this month! A couple of standout tracks include Tor Miller‘s Carter & Cash, ARIZONA‘s Where I Wanna Be and Beach Slang‘s Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas. This is great, upbeat, thinking and creating music! If you give it a listen, let me know what your favourite tracks are — you can stream this soundtrack across your devices, right from this post.

NOVEMBER SOUNDTRACK

My November Soundtrack is an easy going playlist with upbeat, feel good vibes. I still have the Big Grams (Big Boi + Phantogram) album on heavy rotation, and I’ve discovered so many new artists this month! A few standout tracks include Open Your Eyes by School of Seven Bells, DIIV‘s Dopamine and Oh Cecilia by Born Ruffians (which apparently didn’t make the cut on their last album!). There are also a couple of new tracks from some of my favourite artists — ODESZA, Beach House and Toro y Moi. Check it out if you’re in need of some fresh tunes (you can stream it live right from this post)!

OCTOBER SOUNDTRACK

My October Soundtrack is a pretty eclectic mix! I’ve discovered a ton of new music this month from all different genres. One standout is the debut album from Big Grams (Big Boi + Phantogram) — it’s some of the best hip-hip I’ve heard in awhile. Another favourite is the hauntingly simple track Downtown by Majical Cloudz. And, I also stumbled on a really cool, stripped down (but upbeat) remix of Tom Petty’s Won’t Back Down. Overall this is a pretty chill, feel good playlist — perfect for the last days of fall.

SEPTEMBER SOUNDTRACK

My September Soundtrack is full of grungy, alternative vibes. I’ve been listening to a lot of Alt Nation and XMU on Sirius XM, so a few of my picks are tunes I’ve heard on those channels. One track that stands out this month is Kurt Vile’s Pretty Pimpin — he has such a unique sound and the lyrics are really quirky. I’ve also been into the new CHVRCHES album, Every Eye Open. This is an easy-going playlist, with lots of rock undertones — definitely a departure from last month’s soundtrack. I hope you like it!

DIY | NATURAL TREE STUMP SIDE TABLE

Have you ever seen natural tree stump side tables in your favourite home decor stores and thought “Hey, I bet I could make that!”? Me too — so I did! Today I’m showing you how we made our very own Natural Tree Stump Side Table! I mentioned earlier this summer that I’ve been obsessed with natural wood textures and was lusting after a side table very similar to this one (which retails at $249 at West Elm). I always prefer to make things myself rather buying them, because you’re able to create exactly the look you like at a fraction of the cost. I promise it’s simple to do, and you can make it in a weekend (seriously!).
