Autumn is the time for s’mores and hoodies, for campfires and comfort. It’s also the perfect time to carve pumpkins and throw all the goop at your friends or take a long drive with the windows rolled down while the weather is still in the 60’s. Either way, I have you covered with not one, but TWO autumn playlists. Can you guess which season is my favorite?
Playlist One: For sleepy nights cuddled up next to your best friend or significant other, sharing a blanket and staring at the sky. Or the days when you’re driving to school with the heat on and you need something calming to match the sound of rain.
