Happy Valentine's Day!

Ok, so maybe I was a bit cynical last week, but as much as I love celebrating being single, I do know that every now and then, a good love song is just what we need. Even if you are celebrating with a loved one or on your own this year, I feel like the romantic vibes of the holiday are contagious and you can't help but smile a little when you hear a song that reminds you of your love: past, present, or future. These are some of my favorite love songs from the sweet to the sexy to the somber. Check it out.

Ariana Grande | "The Way"

This song is perfect for new love. It feels like surrendering to an unsuspected love.

2017 was something.

January 1st is always a time of reflection for me. Maybe it's wanting to continue to live in 2017 to the last moments, maybe it's a habitual procrastination. Either way, like clockwork, every January 1st I sit down, blast my favorite songs from the previous year and think about what I learned in the year prior. This past year for me was about learning to be empowered by my independence and that's definitely reflected in my favorite songs of the year. So, whether you're reflecting, putting your resolutions into action, or hungover from last night's celebration, crank up your speakers and jam with me to some of 2017's greatest gems.

Dua Lipa | "New Rules" (Live Acoustic)

This is a song I lived by in 2017 and it's the perfect song for starting the new year right and sticking to your resolutions. I personally love the live acoustic version because you really hear every single word. The lyrics in this song are so powerful, you'll want to repeat them all year long as your mantra.
