They say time flies when you are having fun. There must be some truth to that, since the last couple of weekends felt like they flew by. Yet, here we are again—at the start of a new week. As someone…
Monday Mantra: A Break from Adulting
This was the first weekend that I could just…be. While I may have neglected some adulting duties, like, grocery shopping and laundry, there was no packing, no schlepping, and, well, no labor-intensive work of any kind happening. Sure, there is…
Monday Mantra: Grow Through What You Go Through
Well, hello there! While my sporadic posting schedule may lead you to believe otherwise, I’m still alive over here—just buried under a sea of boxes. Now that I have secured a new place to live (hooray for small victories), I…
Monday Mantra: Community Over Competition
I had the best weekend ever! Fern Olivia’s retreat at Gurney’s Resort & Spa was everything I had hoped it would be…and more. I’ll be sharing a full recap on the blog later in the week, but today I wanted…
Monday Mantra: The Art of Tidying Up
Although I never read Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” my experience this past weekend was an eye-opener. You never realize how much stuff you have until you go through your home room-by-room and begin to declutter….

Monday Mantra: Be Present
As we approach the final week before the holidays, and as I have yet to start shopping for gifts (hello, online shopping and overnight delivery), I’m reminded of how special these days ahead are. It’s easy to get wrapped up…
Monday Mantra: Inspiration from Instagram
I’ve heard a lot about the comparison game when it comes to blogging and social media. When you’re going through various platforms and you start scrolling through all of the gorgeous images of houses, places, and things, you may start…
Monday Mantra: Embrace Change
I haven’t written a Monday Mantra post in a while…and after the last few months, which have felt like a whirlwind of commotion, I figured I had the perfect topic for today’s post: change. Change is a scary word for…
Monday Mantra: Be Open-Minded
I’m back from Florida (and to my normal posting schedule this week). Last week was a whirlwind of new experiences for me — from driving two days down to Florida (which I highly recommend doing at least once in your…
