It's getting chilly out there! So you know what that means... More beats to snack to! This winter mix is bringing you all of those cozy, sexy, baby makin, "drinking hot chocolate by the fire while snuggled up with someone special" vibes that you can handle. I spend all year searching for the right tunes for these mixes and every mix in this series is yet another milestone for me. The growth between mixes is something that I find makes this series so special and I'm proud of all the goals I've reached, opportunities I've had, and experiences over the year. Honestly? I struggled to get this one out. I wanted it to be ***perfect*** since I've come so far in this "DJ" journey, but at the end of the day - sometimes you just have to release it! I started this mix series on the basis of imperfection, so why end now? So here it is, for your baby makin pleasure! Grab yourself a hand full of something nice and enjoy....
