My 15 Resolutions for 2015

1 thing I know about myself is that I hold myself to very high standards. If I make a goal, I have to make sure I accomplish it. My to do list is simultaneously a strength and weakness, as it allows me to be organized but even leaving one minuscule task undone makes me feel disappointed in myself. So, this year, I'm making resolutions that I know I will be able to keep. While that may seem like the real-world equivalent of retaking an elective for an easy A, I don't really care. This year I am going to try to give myself credit for what I do, even if it's something as small as making my bed. I will get back to you in a year and let you know how this little experiment works out.

Favorite Music from 2014

Those of you who know me know I'm all about female power in music. The last couple years have seen some awesome releases from female artists in every genre, and as I was creating my "Best of 2014" playlist to celebrate the end of the year, I found that this year was no exception. There were some serious anthems written and sung this last year. Lucky for you, I've compiled my 45 faves into my latest 8tracks playlist. Check it out here and read the tracklist below.
