The holiday season can get a bit frantic. Come Thursday, it becomes a major snowball rolling down a very steep mountain. How is it almost December?? Last holiday season I thought I was prepared by shopping for presents early, but that’s only part of the seasonal stress. I ended up not sending out holiday cards… Continue Reading Pamper Yourself to Survive the Holiday Season
I learned about cabi in 2011 when my friend became a stylist. This year, I really got to know cabi and the people behind the brand. I was invited to attend cabi Conversations where I chatted all night with founders and staff of cabi. I was also invited to attend Scoop, cabi’s twice-yearly conference that… Continue Reading Attending a cabi Fashion Experience

Right now they’re having a promotion where your first stying fee is… Continue Reading Stitch Fix Review

This post is sponsored by Talbots and ShopStyle. I was also provided a gift card to choose what I wanted to feature in this post. Remember how I said in this post that we should be watching Talbots’ RSVP line carefully in the next few weeks? That watching paid off with this lady tux (link to… Continue Reading What I Wore: Lady Tux
I had such big dreams for my first week as a full-time blogger. Oh I’ll still wake up at 5:30 every morning so I can have some Me Time. I’ll do sun salutations, meditate, Morning Pages. I’ll sip coffee and stare out the window at the woods and plot out my perfectly organized day. I… Continue Reading Life After Quitting: Week 1
