How to listen ad-free

While I’m an avid online shopper and music-listener, I didn’t fully realize until recently that my Amazon Prime membership includes Prime Music. Who knew? So I decided to take it for a test run.

I scrolled, searched and listened to so many songs that I finally had my beach day playlist set. I discovered that I can stream over 2 million songs while I’m sitting on the beach with my feet in the sand… let me say that again… 2 million songs… all while I’m listening literally anywhere (like in the car, walking the dog, or sitting on the beach).

PERFECT for the beach.

PERFECT for the road trip to the beach.

PERFECT for the long, sad trip home from the beach.

So get busy and make your own summertime playlist with some of the songs listed above. Or start streaming your favorite songs here.
