Music Monday ~ Not Ready to Make Nice

Do you know just how awesome you all are? Seriously. In case you needed a reminder, today’s Music Monday is brought to you by one of the fantastically awesome people in the Pink Kisses community: Shereen. She shared with us her own personal playlist that she’s using to move past her break-up and for kicking ass in the adventures she has ahead.

Here’s our pick for this week: Dixie Chicks – Not Ready to Make Nice. Because let’s face it, you’re probably still mad as hell and that’s okay right now.

If this song is exactly what you needed right now, be sure to thank your girl, Shereen. Thanks, doll!

Music Monday ~ No Scrubs

Once upon a time there was an all-female trio, called TLC, who graced the airwaves with songs to empower all women, especially in their relationships.

Girls, you should never settle for less than you deserve. T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli all knew the same thing, so they put it all in a little song for us called, “No Scrubs.”

When you’re done rocking out and continue to move on, remember: “Just say NO…to scrubs.”

Music Monday ~ Knock You Down

Keri Hilson, Kanye and Ne-Yo. Three R&B superstars who really know how to make a hit on their own teamed together to remind us of something so simple:

Sometimes loves comes around and it knocks you down,
Just get back up when it knocks you down

And you know what? You’re not alone. We’ve felt the same pain after heartbreak and we’re all here as living proof that you do get back up again.

Music Monday: flashback to the 80’s

We’re taking you back to 1989, when Paula Abdul was all hot moves and lyrics. Damn, we wish we could dance like she did.

Maybe you can master the moves to her song,Cold Hearted. Okay, maybe get a kick out of trying in front of the mirror instead.

If you’re not inspired to get up and dance, she at least speaks for everyone when she says, “You deserve somebody better, girl.” Remember that.

Music Monday ~ Walking with a Ghost

Love love love the voices of Tegan and Sara. They’re an edgy, badass duo…and yes, they happen to be identical twins. When they sing Walking With a Ghost, it has a pretty simple statement:

No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You’re out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind

It’s Music Monday with Walk Off the Earth

5 people, 2 sides of a story and 1 guitar. If you haven’t seen this YouTube sensation already, consider this our little Music Monday gift to you. You can see the original song by Gotye here.

Walk Off the Earth is the brilliant band behind this really cool cover of a refreshing take on the reality of emotions that come after heartbreak. It’s not often that a song lets you hear the two sides to a breakup story…and you don’t see 5 people play one guitar that often either. Watch and be amazed!

It’s Music Monday… come sing along!

Sometimes, it’s great to be free.  Love love love Natasha Bedingfield when she says she “doesn’t need another half to make her whole” and you know what?  She’s right.

It’s Music Monday & The Tunes Are 2 for 1!

Hey bombshells!  A twofer from the outrageously brash and wonderful Jessie J. Want a slow, steely song about strength? You got it.  Want a stand-up-and-pump-your-fist-in-the-air song to bellow along to at the top of your lungs?  You got that too.

OK, now dry your cheeks, crank it up & be proud of exactly who you are:

It’s Music Monday ~ Can’t Hold Us Down

Let’s take it back for a minute.  Remember when Christina was “Xtina” and had black hair and… well… looked like this?  Her style’s come a long way, baby, but this sassy duet with Lil’ Kim still kinda makes you wanna bob your head a little, doesn’t it?  …Guilty!
