This is the first time for me listening to Karmin Love is Louder and it’s a great song. I love music too so much I’m always with my headphones on. I enjoy reading your blog’s, and continue to strive for better days when the ones we live get rough. Hang in there, you are an inspiration to me. lol
Music is AMAZING and Jasmin’s Picks ARE. THE. BEST. There are many things you know my dearest J, and incredible songs are a definite. Whenever I need a “new tune,” I turn to you to loop me in – whether it’s a chill song, the next best dance groove or a song for solace. You keep me in the know and keep me connected to music that matters:) I might even go as far as to say your Music Choices rival your Cat Choices… but then… NO! Thanks for your blog, for your heart, for your music consultancy and for your voice being out there for me to listen to! xoKarminberly
Thank you!!! You’re the best :)
