Monthly Mixtape: Fragrant Breeze and Blooming Trees

May day! It’s May! Isn’t that what people say on the first day of May? Something like that?

I’m feeling nostalgic. (Shocker!) Let’s go back in time. We need nothing but ’80s and ’90s vibes this month. Some radio hits, sure, but isn’t that what pulls us right back into the thick fabric of memory?? The feeling of walls covered in posters, huddled around a vanity with a slew of young girlfriends trying to stick their faces in the mirror with shaky mascara hands. Driving with the windows down with a smooth, crepe-less neck. The simple anticipation of a weekend. The butterflies of a note passed. The stress of what box to check. Lockers, Sunflowers perfume, hairspray, Trapper Keepers. It’s all there!

This is that mix. No matter if you were in junior high, high school or college (I was all three during ALL of these songs), this is a mix that will tug, soothe, and completely destroy your entire soul. It’s vibey at times. It’s sexy at times. It’s raw and vulnerable at times. I need you to go relive. Go, go!

May day, May day!

Just kidding. Sort of.

I give you, the “Fragrant Breeze and Blooming Trees” Mix.

Are you not already dying or what?

AH KNOW.

    Such a great mix! Also, how weird is it that for some unknown reason "Thank U" has been playing in my head for the past two days, and here it is in the mix!

    Awesome playlist!! Great timing. Made cleaning out a bunch of mouse poop under my stove bearable. 😬(sob) I'm still listening now that I'm done with that craptastic job.
