Day 2, Mix Tape

It’s amazing how music can change our mood. I really like making mix “tapes” :) for my friends. It’s an inexpensive thoughtful gift everyone loves to receive. When my husband and I were first dating he would send me emails titled with the songs he was listening to as he wrote me. When I don’t feel like going to the gym a little Britney Spears motivates me to take those first few tough steps out the front door. (don’t hate you know you love her too)

The past few years I have been making a Valentine mix. This year I wanted to expand my selection, so I pooled a couple of my music loving friends for some suggestions. I am pretty happy with what we came up with. If your struggling getting into the Valentine spirit this mix is for you.
