1. The Ultimate Hairbrush Songs Playlist, for when your inner sass queen/dork comes out while attempting to clean your room (but actually just dancing around and making a fool of yourself).
If there's any playlist that's an absolute must for your collection, it's a playlist of upbeat, sing-along songs to dance around in your pajamas like a total dork. (Bonus points for the classic air guitar move, pretending your hairbrush is a microphone, or costume changes/mini fashion shows from your closet.)
Recommendations: "Call Me Maybe" and "I Really Like You" by Carly Rae Jepsen, "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson, "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift, "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfield, "Sorry" by Justin Bieber, "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield (Easy A, anyone??)

2. The Long-Drive-In-Public-Transportation Playlist for when you dramatically stare out the window into the distance and pretend you're in a movie/music video.
We've all done this at some point or another (and if you say you haven't, you're totally lying). I mean, who hasn't imagined themselves as the main character in a sad movie or music video, dramatically staring out the window of a bus/train/car and channeling your inner lovesick Adele as slow music plays in the background?

We all need a good cry now and then (preferably with a warm blanket on the couch and a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream) -- but let's face it, would any good cry be done right without an ultimate playlist full of heartbroken, tear-jerking songs to sob into your spoonfuls of Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream?
