My January Music Faves 🎧🩶

These were the top albums I listened to this month 🎧 I thought it would be fun to share and to look back at later.

I would say this month was a win for music for me. 2025 felt lacking a bit but so far 2026 is coming in pretty dope.

Share something you listened to this and give me some recommendations🩶

... Read moreJanuary felt like a breath of fresh air for music enthusiasts like myself. After a quieter 2025, these albums brought energy and soulful vibes back into my playlist. I’ve found myself completely hooked on A$AP Rocky's latest album, which feels both expertly crafted and refreshingly original. His track “Don’t Be Dumb” especially sticks in my head thanks to its clever lyrics and upbeat rhythm. Ari Lennox’s "Vacancy" album offered grown-folks soul with steady grooves that had me bobbing my head all month long. Her authentic voice connects deeply, making every song feel personal. On the other hand, Kashus Culpepper’s "Act I" introduced a soulful, raw vocal style that resonated with me on an emotional level — music that feels honest and real is always the most powerful. Not to be missed was the "Sinners" original soundtrack by Ryan Coogler, which kept surprising me with its variety and fresh beats. Also, Jennifer Lopez’s "JLO" 25th Anniversary remaster brought a wave of nostalgia mixed with modern polish, reminding me why it was one of the first albums I ever owned. And lastly, BigXthaPlug and Tyler the Creator continue to impress. BigX’s "Take Care" album is a creative masterpiece, and Tyler’s "Chromakopia" still stands out for its unique style and standout tracks like "NOID" and "Like Him." If you’re exploring new music this year, these artists offer a perfect mix of fresh sounds and heartfelt lyrics. I encourage you to give these albums a listen and share your favorites too! Music discovery feels even more rewarding when shared with others who appreciate a great vibe. What’s been on repeat for you lately?

Walking Tacos (one of my faves!)
SUPER easy! Great for birthday or slumber parties. An easy lunch or dinner. GREAT fund raising idea. Can NOT tell you how very much I love a walking taco and all the varieties! Use taco meat, shredded chicken, steak. add any and all toppings. We use Doritos is the only difference (whichever flavor

I am definitely a Trader Joe’s girlie, it’s reasonably priced (if not cheap!) for the quality and variety of foods in the store, plus their packaging and displays for everything are just too cute to not walk through every aisle. With all the healthy / clean options they have throughout the store it
