Hey everyone! I’m really excited in this new year to begin a new feature that I’ve been wanting to introduce for a while… and without further ado, I welcome you to Monthly Mixtape!
Monthly Mixtape is a music feature created by me, Eve @ Twist in the Taile, and Evi @ Adventuring Through Pages. Here’s how it works: each month, we give you a one-word prompt, and you make a playlist. We welcome you to interpret the prompt however you want and with whatever music you’re into. You can link to your Monthly Mixtape below!
Please link back to the original Monthly Mixtape prompt whenever you make a playlist. We welcome you to use the title image for your blog post if you wish. You can create a playlist in response to any of the prompts going forward, not just the current months, but you won’t be able to add your link once the new prompt is up. The next Monthly Mixtape will be up in the first week of February. 🙂 And the first prompt is…
#1: luminescence
luminescence, noun: a light which is not produced by heat; a soft light.
I hope you enjoy making playlists from this prompt, and I really look forward to listening to them! You can add your link or view other playlists here:
I’ve also made my own playlist which I’m rather excited to share since it has a lot of songs I love on it, yay! And remember to check out the playlist that my wonderful co-host Evi made here.
a playlist for sitting by the lake at night. for meeting a forgotten friend. for the soft and bittersweet glow in your chest.

OMG I love this idea and new addition to your blog Eve!!!
You have some awesome music taste, I’m a huge Kesha fan myself – haha.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love Kesha too, especially Rainbow. I’ve been listening to it on repeat and it makes me so emotional.
I just listened to this playlist the whole way through, and I loved it, you have such great music taste! It fits the prompt so well, and I found myself feeling sleepy whilst listening to it – I can’t wait to read more of these! Xx
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed! Haha yes I do like soft sleepy music. I look forward to making moire and I hope you like them! 🙂
I absolutely LOVE this idea!! Such an original idea and perfect for your blog😊 I love music so, so much – it’s such an anchor for me and I honestly don’t know how I’d cope in life without it. This post is such a nice way to apprecate it❤ And I can find some new songs for myself! I can’t wait for the rest of them😄
Yay, this is so awesome! I love this idea and I’ll definitely have to check out these songs. I already love Rainbow so I’m sure it’ll be fabulous. The graphics are gorgeous too!! XD
Ahhhh, Eve, I just listened to the whole playlist and it’s absolutely fabulous!! I’ve definitely found some new favorites. ☺️ I love your taste in music!
Aah yay I’m so glad you enjoyed! Did you have a favourite song?
Secret for the Mad and Wonder were probably my favorites! They’ve definitely opened me up to a couple new artists, which is fabulous. 😉
Thanks so much! Yeah I adore Rainbow so much. ❤ And thank you!
Absolutely!
I’m a huge Kesha fan and I defiantly recommend listening to her music. It’s so emotional and empowering. I actually just wrote about Kesha and her new album Rainbow, I hope you can check it out!
I love her album Rainbow, that’s why I included it in this playlist! Isn’t it just amazing?
