Each November I host a Friendsgiving Dinner with Ecco Domani Wine. Whether it’s just a few friends or a larger group of us, it’s always a very casual, cozy and quaint gathering where everyone feels at home – in my home. This year my Friendsgiving included a group of women that I just adore. We …
As a creative person, I’m always thinking up new ways to do things and new things to create or new businesses to start or be involved in… and occasionally I share those things with other people, especially when I’m excited about them. There are generally two kinds of reactions I get when I share my …
I’ve been writing -or trying to write- all week and although some nights it pours out of me, I’ve been a bit blocked and in a little bit of a rut this week {as many of you have as well}. So instead of trying to edit the gibberish I have gotten down, I thought I’d …
After nearly four years of living in Lake Arrowhead, I think you guys all know how much I LOVE this magical mountain town… and it’s getting better by the day! I probably should’ve waited until next week to share this little piece of fun local news, but since Skypark at Santa’s Village is tentatively supposed …
It’s insane to me just how much is going on in my life right now. So much uncertainty, a bit of craziness, everything up in the air, and it’s strangely nerve-wracking… It’s not at all what I thought my life would look like at 40, but in the midst of it all I have to …
There’s something really kind of fun about hating Mondays. Most of us have it in common, so we’re all on the same page at least two days a week… because, Friday, obviously. So we have these things that unite us, if nothing else, and it makes us feel like we’re all in it together, right? …
* Quote courtesy of Ruby Rose, via Snapchat Being YOU is what makes YOU special… …No one is YOU & that is YOUR power. I have a pale pink post-it on the lower corner of my desktop computer with the above written on it as a reminder to not compare myself to others ~ in …
My husband showed up unexpectedly last Tuesday and hijacked my day physically and hijacked my week emotionally. As you can tell from what I wrote in my last outfit post, I was utterly confused by it all. And even though I made sure to mentally document the negative feelings and the overwhelmingly obvious emotions pulsing …
There’s a part of me that feels like I shouldn’t be talking about this, but as branded as our blogs become, they’re still personal, mine has always been… though I feel like I’ve been holding back for years now… But to exclude the negative and real aspects of life just seems like a lie. I’m …
Just a little bit of Monday Motivation to get you through this day and the rest of the week. It’s always the smallest step forward, an inkling of an idea, a random inspiration, a spark that makes you think I CAN DO THIS! And so today is the day to do so… even if it’s …
Every time I sit down to write about my separation from my husband and most probably, divorce {ugh that word}, I get a lump in my throat, as I have right now typing this. I feel my throat thicken and my shoulders tense up and it scares me, and so I run from it. I …
If you follow my Snaps, you may remember back in May when I was in LA for a day and a night with a film crew and may even recognize some of the photos below… I worked with Sabrina Soto and S Squared Productions and MODE Media on a “webisode/ad” for Ace Hardware / Paint …
I woke up the morning of my 40th birthday with no real plans and thought, well, it’s just another day, and I’m glad it’s finally here so I can get it over with. And then I remembered how badly I’d wanted to go to the beach all week, strike that… then I remembered how badly …
The feeling I want to embody right now is the one I felt when I was in my late teens and early twenties. It’s a feeling I remember well because it was probably the last time I truly felt most like me, and I was free. Until now… I’m not so sure it’s that I …
Cocoon by Sealy reached out to collaborate a few months ago and offered to send me a new mattress as part of our partnership. Now, as much as I would have LOVED to try out this new Cocoon by Sealy mattress, I really didn’t need a new mattress for the master bedroom or for any …
