2014 favorites: music

Boxing Day! Woohoo. Which means you made it through Christmas Day and with that it’s time to do a bit of round up of the year. Like every year, and almost every other blogger out there, I will be sharing my 2014 favorites with you. To start things off I’m sharing my 2014 music faves with you. In the next few days, I will be alternating between regular posts as well as sharing my beauty and make up favorites with you all. On December 31st I’ll be posting my end of year list. So if you care to read what I’ve been up to this year and get a bit of a recap, then stay tuned because that’s coming up as well.

When it comes to my music favorites there are many. But since 2014 was a bit of a strange year for me, my music favorites weren’t as solid or easy to pick as other years. I’m firstly giving you the list of my favorite songs, followed by my favorite albums released this year. Then at the end, I will be listing a set of links to all of my Music of the Moment blog posts, which I do on a monthly basis. I will provide links as much as possible to the individual songs, but will sometimes opt for links as the page tends to load more slowly when there are a bunch of Youtube videos in it.
