    Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend!  I had lobster tails for dinner last night. No big. :)

    Since it’s Monday, I thought I’d share my fave tunes from last week. Hope you dig.

    Chiddy Bang-Mind Your Manners:

    Electric Guest-This Head That I Hold:

    PS These dudes are playing a free show in Visalia tomorrow night. FREE!!!!!!!!!

    Bright Moments-Travelers:

    Pepper Rabbit-The Annexation of Puerto Rico:

    Sahab-Next Train:

    This is a local dude I recently discovered. He’s got an awesome voice and super unique sound. I dig all of his tracks. His live shows are even better! If you get a chance to see him in town, don’t miss it!

    The Shins-Simple Song:

     

    Here’s the playlist on Spotify.

    Check out my week on Instagram! (I’m @jankynola) Did you know Instagram came out with an Android app this week? Now there’s NO reason for you to miss out on all the Insta-fun! Unless you’re my mom, who still has a my old pink Razr from the early 2000′s. True story.

    This one is yesterday’s “photoadayApril.” The theme was, “tiny.” I’ve got an inordinate amount of rhinestones in my craft room. There’s a whole lot of bling going on! :)

  4. TILT-Things I Love Thursday

    April 5, 2012 by jankynola

    I don’t even want to talk about how long it’s been since I blogged. I just don’t. I’m pretty sure I’m facebook official in a relationship with my embroidery machine. I’m not complaining. At all. I’m busy with this new chapter in my life and I’m super happy about it! I’m just forced to have occasional conversations with an embroidery machine, since it’s pretty much the only thing I see/do these days. But occasional conversations are ok as long as the machine doesn’t talk back, right? RIGHT?!
    So, since it’s Thursday, I’ve decided to make my first post of 2012 (still don’t want to talk about it) about, what else?! Things I love!!!

    The Temper Trap:

    I love the Temper Trap. Like, a lot. Sweet Disposition is one of my favorite songs that I never get tired of hearing. Their new album will be out in June. Until then, just listen to this song on repeat. Go ahead, I won’t judge.

    April Photo A Day:

    I tried to do a photo a day for a year. Twice. It was rough. One month is doable. Totally doable. I’m doing this challenge with three other friends and thousands of peeps on instagram and twitter! Check me out on instagram @jankynola to see my photos for the month so far!!

    COOOOOKIES!!!

    Damn you, girl scout cookies. Damn you.

    “Gather round you friends of mine. We’re Wilderness girls and it’s cookie time!” If you don’t know what movie that’s from, we can’t be friends and I kinda hate you. Forever.

    Pink Rockstar:

    First off, it’s pink. Which is enough in  & of itself for me to love. Bonus, it comes with a straw. This drink is pink AND classy. It’s tasty, zero carbs and tastes delicious with vodka. You’re welcome.

    GCB:

    I love Kristin Chenoweth. I just want to carry her around in a baby bjorn, slap some aviators on her and call her, “Carlos” This show brings the funny. For sure.

    DIY:

    I’ve got a list of DIY posts that I really hope to get going here on the blog! What do you think? Would you be down with some craft tutorials?

    What are your fave things right now? Leave a comment and tell me all about it!
    Have a great weekend!

    Peace and love,

  5. Music Monday

    November 28, 2011 by jankynola

    Hidey-ho!!! Hope y’all had a lovely Thanksgiving! I ate (and drank) too much! And, I listened to some awesome music! For you, of course! Let’s check it out!!

    I posted this on both Twitter and Facebook, but it NEEDS to be reposted. It just has to. It’s Ryan Adams.

    IF you haven’t noticed, I have a thing for cover songs…

    Florence & The Machine do a Drake cover? Yes please.

    When 1 artist you dig covers another artist you dig…..magic.

    Heard of Jhameel? Now you have. You’re welcome.

    What are the tunes you’re feeling right now? Happy Monday!!

    Peace and Love,
    J


  6. Music Monday

    November 21, 2011 by jankynola

    No mixtape today. Just a few of the tunes I’ve been feeling over the last week!

    Birdy-1901(Phoenix Cover)

    Bombay Bicycle Club-Shuffle (Jack Steadman Remix)

    Leann Grimes-Cats and Dogs in Idaho

    Chiddy Bang-Ray Charles

    Marina and the Diamonds-Starring Role

    Childish Gambino-Les

    For the record, I love the ENTIRE Childish Gambino album. I guess this one is my fave, for now. :)
    Did you have any tunes you kept on repeat last week? Share with the class! :)

    Peace and love,
    J


  7. Mixtape Monday

    November 14, 2011 by jankynola

    Hi friends! Happy Monday!!! I hope y’all had a kick ass weekend!! I’ve been pretty pumped to share this playlist with you! Unfortunately, I can’t for the life of me (and for the life of google searches) figure out how to get the playlist player embedded into my post. Alas, I have to give you this silly little link to click on. But, trust me, it’s worth it. It’s a pretty sick mixtape, if i do say so myself. And, I do. ;) So, here ya go!!!

    PS

    I really wanted to add this song, but, I didnt feel it really jelled with the others. So, here ya go! :)

    Let’s all have a great week!

    Peace and Love,
