Pandora One is slowly, but surely, turning me into a “music person.” And I am NOT a music person…. or at least I wasn’t.
ya, girl, get it!
(picture via crewcuts, obviously.)
It’s weird though. I used to not like having the noise, but now I find myself popping headphones on and listening to a few (or more songs) in a row. Unheard of!!!
First, if you don’t use Pandora. Use it.
(For the record, I didn’t get paid by Pandora…. I don’t get paid by anyone for anything. I just REALLY love Pandora One.)
Second, if you haven’t already upgraded to Pandora One, do it. You don’t realize how disruptive commercials are until you don’t have them anymore. Not to mention, the quality of the music is much better…. and no monthly limit!
Here are some of my favorite “pick me up songs.” When nothing feels good, everything’s spinning out of control, no light at the end of the tunnel. You know what I mean?!
Here Comes the Sun
The Middle
Brand New Day
Everything is Alright
The Climb (cheesy, I know).
Yes, listening to those songs might just do the trick!
Do you guys use Pandora/ Pandora One? What are your favorite “pick me up” songs?
here comes the sun, ALWAYS. and the climb. i've also been loving my wicked station a lot lately. not only does it have broadway/musical songs, but they also throw in some disney. lets just say i might freak out a little over songs from beauty and the beast. and one of my current favorite pick me up songs is "you'll be in my heart" by phil collins, from the tarzan soundtrack. loooove it.
Ridin' in My Car and This is Not a Test by She & Him, Phantom Limb by The Shins, King of Anything by Sara Bareilles, Around the Bend by Asteroids Galaxy Tour
I love Pandora! Man O Mine and I both have the app on our droids. We each have several stations we've "created" and enjoy the variety. We hook it up in the truck, to speakers in our kitchen, or when out running. Haven't upgraded yet, but I keep thinking about it. Pick me up songs, hmmm, I AM a music person, and love a variety of music. I think the one I jump around to the most is "I like to Move It". That one never fails to make me smile (it was in Madagascar)
Hey Carly! Have you ever looked at Grooveshark? It's similar to Pandora but doesn't have ads: instead of playing music at random, you can choose specific songs to play! It's a great alternative to switch things up every once in a while!
I like Pandora, but I'm more of a "my own music" type of girl; I've never cared for radio much. I guess my music taste is a little too eclectic for it to get it right. 🙂
"Every time We Touch" by Cascade is the best pick me up song. I can be in a crappy mood, not wanting to go out and as soon as I turn on this song I'm in the bathroom doing my makeup, dancing around. It always puts me in the mood to go out.
This song has definitely saved me from wanting to bash my head though a wall when I've been crazy stressed out =) I'm definitely also a huge fan of "The Middle". I put all these kinda songs on my morning play list so I listen to them as I'm getting ready for class–it's always a great way to start the day =)
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvines– the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether we’re commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (🤭), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, I’m just so glad you’re here. I’ve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. We’ve gone through so many life stages together. 🫶🏻
A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! There’s something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. 🫶🏻 We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and it’s just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years ago… that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!
Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chili’s... Even as an extreme introvert, I’m kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. 🍂☕️🤎✨ (Comment “fall outfit” and I’ll send you a link to everything I’m wearing!)
Making @shutterfly photobooks has become a bit of a tradition for our family!

Daylight by Matt & Kim is such a good pick me up song!
I absolutely love Pandora. My favorite is my Eric Hutchinson station. I highly recommend it!
everyone always tell me i should use pandora… i've never tried it though, i think it needs to go on my "to do" list for this weekend now though
Were you paid to plug Pandora?
I can't tell which parts of your blog are real or not.
Here comes the Sun makes me so happy! Every time i hear it, I automatically smile!
I love my Pandora. Pick me up songs include Here Comes The Sun also, Don't Rain on My Parade, 3 Little Birds

My enduring favorite is "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals. It's wonderful!

I love Pandora!!! It gets me through the all-nighters I have to pull during the school year.

Anything by Ingrid Michaelson, especially Everybody! I also like Joshua Radin's song Brand New Day.
