Happy new week everyone!

Miss me yesterday? Monday’s get a little crazy around here, I’m sure you could already tell. We made it to today, so that’s all that matters. So, it’s time to have a little fun.

I’m sure you guys are no strangers to the way Spotify works. If you have no idea, get it together. As I’m sitting here, listening to my Discover Weekly, I’m realizing work from home can be a little fun. Maybe it’s the stress relief vitamins I’m taking, or it’s just the good music. 

As you all know, our artists dropped some big hits on Friday...and there’s MORE to come. Don’t worry, I won’t talk your ear off about it, I promise. The point is...work from home can be kind of fun? It feels almost taboo to say that. While it can be equally as stressful, sometimes creating a vibe for yourself can change the dynamic. 

For example, today I put on a playlist I love from my own personal library. Instantly, my mood shifted. It went from, “ugh I have to work” to, “LET’S GET THIS BREAD.” In a matter of seconds. While I know some of you aren’t working during this time, it’s even more of a reason to create a party in your head. You know what would pair REALLY nice with a quarantine party? Our Coachella playlist, DUH. Updated every week, so you have a fresh new take on what’s hot right now. Even if you have never been to Coachella in your life, it’s now time for COUCHella. Get it?

Lately, I’ve been realizing that what’s important is mental health. Whether that means actually taking a lunch break, or starting your day a little later, DO IT. With quarantine, it’s really all about self-discovery. We are really only stuck with ourselves now. No music festival outlets to discover our emotions, or unleash them even. So, in order to block out the noise in our heads, we can turn the music up on our speakers. It doesn’t matter if you have to work. Even if it’s a podcast, turn it up as loud as you can. We all make jokes about artists/people passing the vibe check, but have we ever passed the vibe check against ourselves?? It’s now or never. We gave you Monday to catch up on the chaos from the weekend, now it’s time to spread positivity for the rest of the week. 

So, get that music blasting, because more new music is COMING.

‘Til next timeeeeeeee.
