It was amazing to me how many outfits I had pinned over the years to "My Kind of Glitter," the only creative name left for fashion inspo. They ranged from elegant to swimsuits, from quotes to things I wouldn't dare wear. All colors and nearly all styles are represented in a great melting pot of beautiful pictures and ideas. There was no consistency. In searching for my personal style, I was making headway only in quantity. Enter the capsule wardrobe. I've explained this in a previous blog, as part of my series to my ideal wardrobe. Now, before I share my solution, I want to show you how big of a change it was. When I joined Pinterest, I started a fashion board that, to-date, has 613 pins on it. Think about that... If it takes a mere 20 seconds to pin one outfit, this board represents …
Working from home is not as easy as you might think. I've been working remotely at my current firm for three and a half years and it's been a bumpy road. How many Saturdays have you purposed to get a particular project done but at the end of the day find yourself without any work to …

There's a broad spectrum between minimalist and hoarder. I fall somewhere left of center, closer to minimalist, categorized under Strictly Intentional. Imagine a strict, British house marm who likes to scold but instead of a ruler to slap your hand, there's a joy-o-meter, and any items too boring or sad get thrown out. Okay, that …
What better way to start the new year than seeking clarity! Don't plan resolutions, schedule life changes. Yes, it's January right now and, yes, everyone is busying scribbling down <> that they'll forget by next Thursday, but don't let that deter you from hitting the reset button your life. This workbook is my brainchild, purposed …

To be completely blunt and frank, …
Hi friend, Lately I've been reading a lot to meet my 2017 reading goals by the end of the year. I've been listening to audiobooks, visiting the library on the reg, and incorporating Bible time in my mornings. I can't help but notice when I read things in the secular world that echo truths of …
