Weekend Playlist {Random Happiness}

I took the bird's eye view photo of the yoga studio above while walking along the elevated urban park The High Line on Manhattan's West Side. This NYC parkway path transformed an out-of-use railroad trestle into a beautiful public landscape that gives you a unique perspective of the city. It reminds me of walking on a bridge, but with the added benefits of the natural elements in a park.

Due to Hurricane Sandy and significant flood damage to some of the park’s utility connections, the park was running on a limited schedule—you can read more about the park and the schedule on their blog or follow the @highlinenyc on Twitter. If you want to help the recovery process, you can support the park by becoming a member of the nonprofit. You can even support the organization by shopping at their one-of-a-kind shop online. I'm loving the High Line photo magnet set below ($15).

Because it's a Friday, I'm in the mood for some totally random, feel-good music. Here's my weekend playlist via 8Tracks. Enjoy!

most random mix ever from blinkydiver on 8tracks Radio.

... A few on the playlist... I Saw You Blink, Stornoway... Hollywood (ft. Penguin Prison), RAC... Givers Up Up Up, Glassnotemusic... Bright Idea, Mother Mother... The Palace Garden 4 am, Beat Connection... Best Day of Your Life, Katie Herzog... Kangaroo Court, Capital Cities... Make a Wish OK!, Good Records2... Can You Tell, RaRaRiot...

Weekend Playlist {Dream a Little Dream}

Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for the weekend? I've got ingredients for baking cookies and a list for hitting some vintage shops in my neighborhood. Do you like vintage finds? I do. Sometimes I even wonder if I am in living in the wrong decade. Here's a romantic weekend playlist with 11 vintage tracks to leave all worries behind you...

Weekend Playlist {Music for Baking Cookies and Getting Cozy}

Cookies for breakfast are ok because of the oatmeal, right?

And I have a feeling I'll be in the kitchen baking this weekend as the temps dip. That also means I have an excuse to dance in the kitchen too! The 10-song playlist below is for when you want to feel like you're in a cooking montage in a movie. Pretend you're best friends with Emma Stone, Taylor Swift, or [insert desired celebrity friend here] and dance while baking cookies.

 

Music for Cooking and Dancing from bilancam on 8tracks Radio.

(Playlist above includes The Beatles, Rosemary Clooney, Sam Cooke, and more.)

And when you don't feel like dancing. Time to get cozy... Have a loverly weekend. Go fall in love with somebody. Or snuggle with a kitten. And listen to the 25 songs on the playlist below.

i love, love. from daaniellegrasso on 8tracks Radio.

Weekend Playlist {I Used Only the Good Notes}

Wherever you are, however you feel, I believe music has the power to make the day better. I'm thinking of my east coaster family and friends. Hope the playlists I've included get you humming along and maybe even make you smile.  xo

Once again, one playlist did not seem to be enough. Here are a few sunny songs.

Weekend Playlist {Lazy Weekend, Chocolate, and Kisses}

 

Woke up this morning to a diamond-sparkles layer of light snow. My DH and I didn't want to get out of bed. A couple of neighbor kids went sledding on the hill out front before school. The ski resorts are opening up nearby. I will be checking the slopes out soon. But this weekend, I'm thinking just be lazy. And if the sun shines, I will walk my dogs high up into the foothills. And when the sun sets, a glass of wine, some dark chocolate and who knows...

I couldn't decide today, so I've got two playlists.

First, here's a happy soundtrack for relaxing. Play this while scrapbooking or baking. 

R E L A X from ness428 on 8tracks Radio.

 

And here's some music to play at dinner. Who knows. Maybe a little slow dancing will begin.

Play it if you like James Taylor (Copperline), John Haitt (Have a Little Faith in Me) , Eagles (Hotel California) or if you remember the refrain in Sister Golden Hair. Doo wop doo wop ...

I won't give it all away. Just listen :)

stay awhile from lucielle jobe on 8tracks Radio.

Weekend Playlist {Singing in the Kitchen}

Happy weekend! Here's my pick for a perfect handcrafted playlist for baking cookies, eating lots of pie, or doing dishes. Go ahead, pour a glass of pinot grigio and dance around the kitchen—it's the weekend!

Weekend Playlist {Around the World on My Bike}

Woke up today and it really is another lovely day to watch the sun rising. I'm grabbing my bike and peddling up the hills and down through the woodsy trails in beautiful Colorado. Check out my weekend playlist via 8Tracks Radio below. Let me know what you think. 

Happy Weekend!

Weekend Playlist {Straight Up Class}

Hello, Weekend! Why are you turning so cold on me? Snow? Oh no, please say it isn't so. Two days ago I took a nap on my front porch. Snow? Really?!

I need to layer on a couple of sweaters, pull on some snug-as-a-bug wool socks, and grab a book to read by the fireplace this weekend. And while I'm reading I think this playlist is just what I need. How about you? What plans do you have?

Straight Up Class ♥ from hannahgibz on 8tracks Radio.

Why do I like the Straight up Class soundtrack? Let me count the ways... Jazz, champagne and pearls—in music form of course. French twists, moderns and throwbacks; alas, listening doesn't get much classier than this my friends. 

J'ai deux amours... I confess I have two loves on a day like today. Coffee and chocolate.
