I took some time off last week for a quick trip to Boston but now that I’m back, I need to get started on all my apartment organizing and decluttering projects. The big issue most people tackle in the new year is the dreaded closet clean out. I usually post a closet inspiration post each […]

Write it Down, Make it Happen used to be an annual New Year’s post based on the book by the same name. I hate looking back and always want to keep moving forward but I read the 2015 blog post and I’m embarrassed to say that a lot of those things did not get accomplished. […]

Every New Year’s Day, I set intentions for what I want to do in the coming year. It’s been very hard to plan anything the last two years but I’ve decided that this year I want to stop simply surviving and start thriving again. Only time will tell how far I get. White Felt Coat […]

After I completed my first Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet in August, I was able to cut my sugar consumption and cravings for six weeks. It was an amazing elimination diet and I realized that dairy was causing terrible inflammation so I was able to cut it out of my diet too. I lost and kept off […]

“Whether you consider it a fresh start or a clean slate, there is nothing better than the beginning of January to plan out what you want to do in the coming year. I personally love a new blank calendar just brimming with possibilities. I like to plan out each month which helps me plan out […]

Happy New Year!

Ring out wild bells to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light:  The year is dying in the night;  Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new,  Ring, happy bells, across the snow:  The year is going, let him go;  Ring out the false, ring […]

Your Year

01 . 01 . 18

Every January 1st, I post an inspiring quote or mantra on Instagram. This one seemed to really resonate with my followers. People may scoff at inspirational quotes on the internet but sometimes they strike a chord and make you realize you need or want to make a change. That’s true of New Year’s Day in […]

Life Lessons

01 . 01 . 16

I usually post my intentions for the year in my annual Write It Down, Make It Happen post on New Year’s Day but I need one more day to prepare. I decided to start this year off right by taking an hour and half yoga class with my favorite instructor this morning. Now I’m going […]

Long time readers know that I prefer to the focus on the positive things that I want to manifest in the New Year instead of the negative habits I wish to break.  The book Write It Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want And Getting It is my inspiration. It’s always fun to go back and […]

I’m still taking some time for myself this week.  If you’re looking for something to read until I’m back to full speed, I highly suggest picking up the January 2015 issue of ELLE magazine.  I was one of the designers asked to share their favorite subtle tweak that can make a big difference to your space […]

I’m still working on my Write It Down, Make It Happen post for 2015 so in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to post the wonderful advice that F. Scott Fitzgerald gave to his 11-year-old daughter Scottie in a 1933 letter. While the things to worry about are interesting, it is the items that […]

Year of the Horse

If you didn’t stick with your New Year’s resolutions, you get a second chance with the start of the Chinese New Year today. According to astrologer Susie Cox, 2014 the auspicious Year of the Wood Horse is typically seen as fortunate year that brings good luck and unexpected opportunities.  “This year will bring sudden victories, […]

While 2013 wasn’t the worst year ever, it certainly was not my favorite.  I felt out of sorts and adrift for most of it. I also feel like I didn’t really accomplish anything of note.  As one of my wise friends pointed out, some years are about planting the seeds to be harvested later.  It’s […]
