Christmas {Play} List

Oh, Christmas is coming and I just love it! I cannot wait for Christmas lights to go up, boat parades (seriously the best part of a California Christmas) and most importantly, to get a week of quality time with my family. I am so ready for it.
So, since I am beginning to decorate my house for it's very first Christmas (even though I won't technically be here on Christmas, but whatever. I like it.), I thought I would make a playlist!
 It's pictured above and I hope you enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

{Friday Five} Songs for Halloween

ONE | "MONSTER MASH"

BOBBY "BORIS" PICKET

 The most famous Halloween song, pretty much ever. It's also a personal favorite.

TWO | "LIVING DEAD GIRL"

ROB ZOMBIE

This song is wonderful. It reminds me of an old friend who was obsessed with this song, and I think it's great for a Halloween mix!

THREE | "THE WOLF"

FEVER RAY

I found this song after watching Red Riding Hood; the movie was mediocre but the music was wonderful! This one makes me want to dance around a bonfire and howl at the moon.

FOUR | "THIS IS HALLOWEEN"

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

There's nothing like the Nightmare Before Christmas to get someone in the mood for Halloween! And Christmas! This song sets the tone for the whole movie (and holiday, for that matter). There's also a very great cover by Marilyn Manson that you can hear here. 

FIVE | "THRILLER"

MICHAEL JACKSON

Oh, the Thriller. This song is a must for any Halloween playlist. 

There's many more - Halloween is my favorite so I'm always collecting music and movies - but I couldn't list them all. 

What are your favorite Halloween songs?

Friday Five

ONE | COZY CARDIGANS

There is something about Autumn's morning chill and cool breezes that always makes me want to be all wrapped up in a soft, cozy cardigan. This one from Modcloth (pictured above) is so adorable and it is certainly on my wishlist. I just love the houndstooth!

TWO | TRADER JOE'S 

Seriously, Trader Joe's is the best. It has great, (mostly) healthy food at prices that are often lower than Target or Safeway. They have such a nice fruit and vegetable selection, and I really love their gnocchi! It's a wonderful store for me in the sense that I'm trying to save money, be healthy, and balance all of the parts of my life... Trader Joe's helps!

THREE | THE O.C.

  The O.C.: The Complete Series (Seasons 1-4)
 Every other year or so, I like to re-watch The O.C. Particularly towards the end of the year, so I can watch all of the Christmukkah episodes (that are wonderful)! It's cheesy and silly, but I still feel compelled to sit there and knit whilst watching a show that is 10 years old. 

FOUR | WEN HAIR PRODUCTS

 
WEN® Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner 16oz 
What with me moving into a new (saltier) climate and dying my hair recently, it has become necessary for me to have a great moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, as well as other hair products. My mom bought me Wen cleansing conditioner in Sweet Almond Mint as a gift, and it has done wonders for my hair! I'm obsessed. My hair is so soft and silky now. 

FIVE | THE GOOD MAD

Seriously, take a listen. This song, called "What Money Paid For" is seriously so wonderful. I am so glad that I found this band.

What are you loving this week?
