Last year’s Harvey drama had me paying less attention to my self-care and triggered the comfort-food (and drink) habit a little too much. Waistbands and dresses got tighter, and I wasn’t happy with what I glimpsed in the mirror. While my buddy Grayson kept me from completely hibernating during the cold winter, those 20 minute […]
The more I get to know authentic people, the more “anti-resolutions” the input becomes around new years. I agree with not setting unrealistic goals for yourself, especially those driven by ridiculous image standards, but I also like the concept of using the new year as a re-set. Halfway through reading Essentialism my life became quite […]
“I believe in recharging as often as possible. Go somewhere luxurious to luxuriate.” ~ Niquenya Fulbright of Building Bridges Consulting Last week the Network of Entrepreneurial Women held a discussion on treating ourselves.

Because winter was so long and my social life had me attending numerous potlucks and barbecues my summer clothes remained snugger than last year and I knew I wasn’t naturally walking and stairmastering the winter padding off like I had in […]
Recently Netflix fed Ruby into my recommendations as I was looking for another TV series to distract myself with. I sometimes need a re-set to transition out of work mode into house-mode, and a 30-minute episode can do just that. I didn’t think a weight-loss program would intrigue me, but this one had a lot […]
Princess Lasertron’s Radvent on Style has a fabulous opening: “Ladylike dressing is making a comeback, opening the door to beautifully defined silhouettes, exciting accessories, and life with grace and style in all the details. The exciting thing about being a modern example of style is that we don’t have to look a certain way there’s no […]
“Once you realize that life can change in an instant, you can relax into a steady state of joyful expectation.” ~Kathy Freston The past week has been spent administrating rather than creating.
