mixtape 04

Hey Chickens!

How are you??

I feel like it's been ages since I sat down and wrote a blog post. Actually, to be honest, I'm typing and walking the dog because I'm a time efficiency queen. So far this holiday has been a whole lot more school work than I would like, but I've also been doing a bunch of filming and fun youtube-y things so flick over to my channel and have a look. Also please appreciate my new cover photo, I spent far far too long making it yesterday but the photoshop skills are growing so who can complain?

Speaking of exciting new skills, I'm learning how to drive on main roads!! That's not relevant to anything, but I just thought I'd let you know.

Now, for the real deal. This is an especially fantastic playlist. I always try and make the holiday ones good, because of the ridiculous amounts of time I spent on busses. Mixtape 04 is all about the chill vibes, it's mainly acoustic with a little bit of my usual indie pop etc. etc. S/o going to LANY for their new single 'WHERE THE HELL ARE MY FRIENDS'. YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY SPELT WITH CAPS BUT IT'S WORTHY OF IT SO ALL GOOD. I'M JUST GOING TO ROLL WITH THIS. IM ALSO ONLY NOW DISCOVERING STICKY FINGERS, THANKS TO MY NBFS BUS SQUAD. IT'S GOOD VIBES.

Also, its Wednesday. I'm sorry I missed Tuesday but I had an impromptu birthday party to plan. I know that sounds like I forgot someone's birthday. I'm admitting to nothing. It involved chicken pizza, a small British car, my Grandma, a particularly weird group chat, and surprisingly amazing $5 cake from Woolies. ZOLA took one for the team.

I'll have some video(s!?) up next week so make sure you head over to my channel and subscribe xx

Have a great week,

the sunlight paints us gold + sophie smith

Confession time, I may or may not have totally forgotten this post for the last hour in light of a new discovery. I had a maths exam today, these things happen. What is this exciting new discovery you ask? The quadratic formula? Nope. How I Met Your Mother!! Apparently I'm lame because I don't watch The 100 but I've gotta say daggy 2005 television is pretty prime. I've watched like half a season, which isn't even that extreme but I'm slow and happy. Don't judge me.

Time for something legitimately exciting! I'm bringing you a collab playlist today! Whaaaaaat?

Well. A pretty awesome friend of mine, Sophie Smith, has some pretty awesome music tastes so we have combined forces to make 'the sunlight paints us gold', a shiny mix of all our autumn favourites for long afternoons and early sunsets. As much as I love summer, and as cold as the beach was on the weekend, I'm getting a little excited for the colder months. It's good weather for tea. Who am I kidding, it's always good weather for tea.

I actually love this playlist, I've been listening to it a bunch. It's a goodie. Well, I think it is. Don't doubt yourself people! Special shoutout to Ninja by Banoffee, one of my favourite songs at the moment. There's a super funky beat, and the first line is about breakfast. What's not to love? If you're not convinced yet, this playlist even features a Florence track, because lets be honest, what ZOLA post doesn't feature a Florence track or a pair of Converse? Let me know what you think in the comments below, don't forget to follow ZOLA and have a super wildly glitter-filled sunny week.
