As much as I love nature and being surrounded by trees and gorgeous greenery OUTSIDE, I’ve never really been an in-house plant person (although I would DIE for an in-house atrium!) Aside from my kitchen window orchids (a mainstay in all my houses) and a possible much larger and usually tropical living room tree of …
May Flowers and Thoughts on Life and Perspective
I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective lately… and I think, as much as we sometimes forget that life isn’t happening to us and that we aren’t victims of life, but instead we are creating our life minute by minute, day by day, year by year… our perspective truly defines how we interpret our lives …
The Key to Tapping Into Your Divine Feminine Energy
Because it’s February and Valentine’s Day is next week and LOVE IS IN THE AIR and the topic of relationships becomes primary focus, I started thinking about what it means to be feminine and to fully embrace and live in divine feminine energy and noted how much more authentically I live now vs when I …
Self Care Sunday // Take a Second To Realize How Far You’ve Come
I feel like I have so much to say on this topic, yet the simple text on these images sums it up so well that I don’t even know where or how to start. But I guess I will start by saying that I am not where I want to be yet… mentally, emotionally, spiritually, …

Self-care Sunday // Awaken Your Heart & Brain Connection
Years ago I read a book called the Heart-Math Solution and found it fascinating. At the time I was in the midst of my ongoing struggle with panic and anxiety attacks and determined to find a solution or fix the underlying issue, I researched and read just about everything I could get my hands on …
And There’s a Cold, Lonely Light that Shines From You
What I’m Wearing… * Plaid coat by C/MEO Collective… last seen here * Vintage Oscar de La Renta men’s suit pants (I’ve had them for 100million years. I thrifted them at least 20 years ago) I’ve found so many items I haven’t seen in years in my recent move while trying to organize my closet …
Self-care Sunday / Motivation Monday
I spent much of last week struggling mentally and wondering why I felt so anxious and emotional and while I was able to narrow it down to a handful of things that could be causing my dis-ease (I mean, duh), when I dug deeper beyond circumstances, I realized that I was stuck in a loop …
A New Morning Ritual // My Own Personal Tarot Card Readings
A few weeks ago (or maybe a month now) Chad and I started talking about tarot readings… and I cannot remember why or how we even got into the discussion but it propelled me to run upstairs to the game closet in the hallway and pull out my old Rider-Waite tarot cards because it just …
A New Chopra 21 Day Meditation Journey with Deepak & Alicia Keys
I woke up this morning as I usually do, blindly grabbing my phone, squinting as I find and tap my Chopra meditation app and play whichever meditation I have up and in the queue. But THIS morning, through my tired eyes, I noticed Alicia Keys staring back at me and excitedly tapped through hoping my …
Roller Skates Video Review – Moxi, Moonlight Rollers, BTFL & Chicago
Hi Lovecats! When I was looking for new skates to buy, I knew what I wanted but still had TONS of questions about how the boots fit and what would be best for my feet (and ankle) for the kind of skating I want to do (pretty basic/mellow and dance/rhythm skating) and what wheels would …
Five Steps to Positivity and Wellness, in Quarantine or Out
Image via Pixabay It’s been harder, due to the pandemic, to keep up with health and fitness. And without work or social events, it’s easy to lose motivation to stick to health or beauty routines.

Beauty & Health from the Inside Out with Collagen
I’m a strict believer that beauty and wellness care must start from within. This belief is handed down from my mother, who was considered a “health nut” by the standards of her time (70s/early 80s) when it wasn’t so widely accepted or understood even. When once on a trip with the family when I was …
A Simple Way to Start a Morning Gratitude Journal Practice
Well Lovecats, it’s the week of Thanksgiving which means it’s time to give thanks and I think it’s safe to say we’re all pretty thankful that this year is almost over! 2020 has been the worst and the best in so many ways (if you are interested in silver linings), but whether you’re coming up …
