Trench: London Fog (mine is a few years old, but they make lot’s of similar versions here! London Fog runs big in my experience. Shoes: Also from a few years back but current version here! (Size down!) 

Hiii and happy Monday guys! 

How was your weekend? Ours was really fun–we hung out with friends Friday and Saturday nights, and yesterday I got a whole day to be lazy on the couch and read while Neal went to the Blackhawks game with my sister in law! (I finished All The Light We Cannot See!! It was SO GOOD. It had been on my list for awhile and my friend Rebecca finally convinced me to pull the trigger. Do you follow her blog Everyday Parisian? You will LOVE It!)

I don’t know about you, but today, I need a little pick-me-up with this grey winter weather, so I figured it was time to revisit one of my favorite Real Women Approved roundups–the best Spotify playlists! New music always brightens my day!

Below are your favorite Spotify Playlists that you love to listen to during work, on the weekends, while working out, and pretty much everything in between. 

First, I’ll kick us off with two of my favorite playlists…

Paris Cafe Jazz 

During the day, I’m almost always playing French Jazz! It’s my favorite to put on in the background during work–because I don’t speak French, I don’t get distracted by the lyrics. Plus, when am I not dreaming of Parisian Cafes?  ❤

Smokey & The Bandit 

This is the playlist that Neal and I always put on whenever we’re hanging out together. It’s pretty much the best compilation of classic rock ever–we always listen to it while hanging out on our front porch.

Alright, now, time for YOUR favorite Spotify playlists: 

A Perfect Day

“Such a good playlist of oldies to star your day! It’s on every morning while I get ready for work!”–Claire

Boho + Chill

“A soothing mix that I like to play during work, cleaning the house or cooking. It helps me discover new artists as well!” – Alex

Good Vibes and Young and Free

“These have such fun, pick-me-up vibes! I like them when I’m getting ready in the morning or just when I want some music in the background. Mostly indie/alternative/electronic/pop and everything in between!” –Hannah

Tropical Morning

Julie recommended this beachy/clubby playlist! “They play it at Homeslice” she informed me, one of my favorite trendy pizza spots, so obvi it’s a winner in my book! A good playlist for a summer party or pregame.

Beach Vibes

Claire says, “I love listening to this in the car during spring and summer or at the pool! Most of the songs are beachy, kind of reggae style!” Lauren also seconds this and recommends it for when you’re “seriously struggling with the pre-Spring BS weather Mother Nature is currently sharing with us” 😂

Deep Focus and Ambient Chill

“These three are my go-to’s for when I need to block out everything around me and get my you-know-what done!”– Hannah

Jazz Vibes

“When I’m in the mood for background music without vocals! It’s simultaneously low key, modern, and classy with a little bit of hip hop. Perfect for dinner at home or getting work done when I can’t handle distracting lyrics!”–Sarah

Coffee Table Jazz:

Similarly, Anne recommends the Coffee Table Jazz playlist. She says “it’s great for relaxing after a long day at work!”

Brain Food

Tatum says, “It’s my go-to at work when I want something to play while focusing (that isn’t classical piano).”

Feelin Good

“A great one for some older classics!” –Phoebe

New Boots

“For all my fellow country music lovers. It’s my go-to for all the hottest and just released country songs!” –Emma

Make Out Jams 

“Good for making out, obvi, but also just like, hanging out. Highly recommend.”–Kelsey. (Kelsey, you kill me with this description 😂)

Acoustic Covers

“One of my faves! Very relaxing without the “classical music” vibe so it feels more modern (and you can sing along which is a nice extra, haha!)” – Clara

Calientito

Reader Keely made this personal playlist full of Latin jams. “Most of my best friends are native [Spanish] speakers and that’s something we love to do together, listen to this playlist! The songs are super catchy for working out, too!”

Songs to Sing in the Shower

“Self explanatory–it’s my favorite!” –Elise

Lizzie McGuire Comes On At 4pm

YES this is real! 😂 Sarah says “It’s got a lot of throwbacks from the early 2000’s and it’s fun to put on in the car or while studying just to reminisce.”

Daily Lift

“This is a great one for jammy songs that aren’t too intense!”–Phoebe

Chill Oldies: 

Meredith describes this playlist as, “basically all the songs you know but don’t really know how and somehow know all the words”

Kina Grannis

“She does great covers and has originals too! Great “Chill” playlist if you like acoustics!”

Chickpea in the City’s Playlists:

Do you followChickpea in the City?! You should! “She has a playlist for every occasion” GG reader, Dani says. Her “Songs I Wish I Heard in Soulcycle” gives me life for those 4am gym wakeup calls, and her “A Dream” playlist is perfect for those chill, night time/deep thinking vibes!”
