Hey, hey, it's May! Another month, another soundtrack and this is a good one. I've been feeling a little nostalgic lately and the retro vibes of this playlist give that away big time. Joy Division, Blondie, Talking Heads? Yes, please. Mix in some beachy tunes and a Frank Ocean cover that's to die for and we're golden. Catch you on the flip side! You can listen to this month's soundtrack here.

As always, you can check out all of my soundtracks here.

It's a brand new month and, thanks to finally sharing our big news yesterday, I'm feeling light and free! It's so nice to get the news off of my chest and have everything out in the open. You guys were so sweet about the whole thing and I genuinely want to hug each and every one of you for your kind words and excitement. Everything is looking sunny (except for the weather... we're right in the middle of the heaviest rainy season). I'm starting to get excited for our upcoming extended trip to California and things are looking up pregnancy-symptom-wise. Every day I feel a little better than I did before. Hello, second trimester, it's nice to finally see you!

This month I'm pulling inspiration from sun-soaked spaces, Sarah Shabacon's feature in Mother Muse, and thinking about all of those warm (but not humid... thank god!) Cali spring/summer days that are coming soon. What's on your moodboard?!

As always, I source the images for my monthly mood from my recent pins. To see what I'm pinning and to explore these photos a little more, head over to Pinterest.

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon hundreds of new songs that I'm obsessed with and immediately started cataloging them into monthly playlists. I'm pretty much stocked on background jams through summer. Unfortunately, that means that I barely even know what's on this month's soundtrack anymore (but I do know that it's GOOD).

I've really been enjoying popping in my headphones lately (a habit I got out of the swing of shortly after high school) and tunes have been following me everywhere from the grocery store to the beach. It's kind of fun to zone out, pretend I'm in a 70s surf film (with the scenery and the music picks) and take on the world.
