feelin' good playlist

I find it's easy to slip into winter blahs during this time of year. I also find upbeat music can instantly change my mood for the better. So, this evening I created a Winter 2011 Feelin' Good playlist that I plan to listen to, sing to, and dance to regularly throughout the rest of this winter! Here it is:

Respect by Aretha Franklin
Hunter by Dido
Mercy by Duffy
I feel It All by Fiest
Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai
Say Hey (I Love you) by Michael Fanti
Straight Up by Paula Abdul
Love Song by Sara Bareilles
All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow
Smile by Vitamin C
Beauty in the World by Macy Gray
Express Yourself by Madonna
Can't Touch It by Ricki-Lee

What songs would be on your Feelin' Good playlist?

Peace, Love, Lipstick,
& Namaste'

these songs!)
Diana Krall (jazzy)
Feist (alternative female)
Michael Buble (oldies)
Natalie Walker (alternative female)
Brian Eno (ambient--so relaxing)
Dido (alternative female)

more painting, pictures, and a music recommendation

Today was our 3rd day painting my new little yoga studio space. We've now painted 2 rooms and all the trim, doors, and cabinets. I must say it looks so much better! Tomorrow we lay the floors. Here's a few photos of our work in progress:

Also, for all you yogis and yoginis out there in need of some good music, or those who like to listen to relaxing music...I picked up the Lifescapes "yoga: relaxation" cd at Target last night, and love it. I will definitely be using it tonight for the relaxation part of my power yoga class!

p.s. Hope the Summer Sun Salutation and Meditation Challenge is going well. It's definitely getting more challenging by the day, huh? Remember to relax and breathe!
