Happy Voting Week/Election Day Lovecats! Oh what a magical and insane time it is to be alive in this world! I hadn’t meant for this to be a political post, since I actually finished this painting a few weeks ago, but man is it fitting! However, I’m going to skip the political rhetoric and hope …
Originally published on April 18, 2024 Over the weekend I started reading Rise Above the Story by Karena Kilcoyne and shared an Instagram reel I filmed on Saturday when I was only about 60 pages in. I was excited to start this journey and while I didn’t have huge expectations, I WAS hoping it would …
As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
In the fall of 2022 I embarked on a self-love experiment. I didn’t really realize it at the time, but when I rented my own townhouse on the lake and started living by my own rules, everything changed. But also, nothing changed… at first. But eventually, over time, little by little, I let go of …
When I saw the movie White Noise pop up on Netflix a few months ago and realized it had been developed from a book written in 1985 by author Don DeLillo, I put off watching the movie in order to read the book first and immediately went to my online library portal, searched and found …
Happy Monday Lovecats! I don’t know about you, but I watch a lot of YouTube. I mean, what is A LOT though? I guess it’s all relative (and it’s been raining/snowing all weekend so factor that in)… but I definitely have my morning with coffee videos category and my early evening videos category that are …
My goal at the beginning of 2022 was to read at least ONE book a month… which in theory, seems like a pretty easy goal to accomplish. However, prioritizing reading was not high on my list, so I had to figure out a way to make it a priority in order to reach my goal. …
At the beginning of the year (2022) I decided I was going to keep track of all the books I read, physical books and audio books, in list form on a simple NOTE on my phone, month by month. I wanted to not only see how many books I actually read (vs how many I …
* Rules For Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno This might seem a little bit silly to say considering I’m 45 years old and referring to YA (young adult) literature, complete with teen angst and problems I left behind almost 30 years ago… BUT OMG THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE! Okay, incredible might …
What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share! In a …
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a small, or maybe not so small obsession with the new Netflix show, Bridgerton… and I am to bet that you might be in the midst of the same obsession at the moment because well, we’re still locked down with nowhere to go and nothing to …
A few nights ago while I was flipping through one of my TV apps, an old black and white movie called The Shop Around the Corner made way back in 1940 popped up and I scrolled past it without thinking. Moments later it occurred to me that The Shop Around the Corner was the name …
If you’ve been watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix then you most certainly want to play chess or learn how to play chess or maybe even just look at a pretty chess set sitting as decor in your home or office… or is it just me? I’m watching the show for the second time now …
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
