Inspired by Leah Haslage’s Valentine’s Day Playlist, where she listed some great love songs in different categories like "Love Stinks and "Get Your Sexy On", I decided to create the Valentine’s Day Mixtape with a slightly urban feel to it.
Ladies, since I'm alone on V'Day feel free to pass along a valentine or two...just don't tell your man!!
Guys, here's a dating tip: Mixtapes don't get you much lovin' if you give it to a lady as a gift.
However these songs are great to set the mood..just don't use too many songs from the "Break To Make Up" list; musically they are great, but they could be definite mood killers.
Now that's out of the way, let's get it on! (Which didn't make the list, but is still a classic)
