Hey gang, So, I mentioned I few posts ago that I had some blogger events coming up that I would attend and report back as to how my social anxiety has been progressing. Truth be told, I chickened out of my events and stayed home to hide from the world, as per usual. So, progressing, … More Suffering Through Social Anxiety
Let’s face it – we’re all on a budget of some sort. Life is expensive, and cuts need to be made, as painful as they may be. But that doesn’t mean we should all live lives devoid of fancy treats and grandeur. Here are some ways I ante up my daily round: 1. Take some … More How to Add Grandeur to your Life
Is it sad if a writer’s obsession with Starbucks becomes their main narrative week-to-week? If so, I apologize and invite you to check out what’s happening over on Buzzfeed. If, however, you, like me, find Starbucks to be much like the magical land of Narnia, where Mr. Tumnus greets you with free samples of Dragonfruit-flavoured … More Making Serendipitous Connections at Optimal Times
As an introvert, I’m a natural nester. I like to crank up the AC and hide under a mound of blankets from the morning sun peeking through the slats in the window blinds. However, once I find myself rather awake, one thing does provoke me to leave the nest – Starbucks! My need for caffeine … More Building a Little Team Spirit
As I think many new content creators can attest, what little money we make from our content goes directly back into our work budget for the next blog post, video production, photo shoot, whathaveyou. That leaves very little money, if any, for some well-deserved time off for a summer vacation. That harsh reality left me … More Stylish Summer Staycation
Well, the massive heat wave, or “heat dome” as the Weather Network has been calling it, subsided long enough this morning for me to throw on some new denim and linen and head to Starbucks to meet my friend Kirsten. Since I was wearing a neutral palette (I have been loving earthy neutrals for summer), … More Creating Your Own Opportunities
As a newer content creator, I find myself learning industry how-tos and lessons on a daily basis. This week, I learned a critical lesson the hard way – be VERY careful who you agree to collaborate with. So far on my blog (and soon to be up-and-running YouTube channel!), I online order and in-store purchase … More Accessories on Repeat and a Major Collaboration FAIL!
Are you a Big Edie or a Little Edie? While these are not the unkempt moors of the Grey Gardens estate in East Hampton, this enclosed, cryptic backyard poses as an excellent doppelganger. The setting cried for draped pyjama silks, headscarves and tousled hair. Escape is a powerful tool. I head out to this secluded … More Channeling my Inner Grey Gardens
This past Sunday morning kicked off as I believe every Sunday morning should – with a new pair of designer shoes and a visit to the local farmer’s market with my bestie. He was on the hunt for produce, I was looking to add to my madly growing succulent family. On our way there, we … More Sunday Funday Fashion
Spring has finally sprung and that means that we can set our tables with tulips and don our fresh linen shirts! I hit up the Tulip Festival this weekend at Lansdowne Park with my mom and my sister for Mother’s Day. We took her to brunch at the Aberdeen Pavillion, and it was fabulous.
