/ / 2 Comments
Friends, I rarely post on crowd-funding campaigns, but Moola-Hoop, a crowd-funding site for female entrepreneurs, sent information on the Say YES campaign and I decided to make an exception(!) and said YES! Say YES is a wonderful collaboration between Open Arms a company that provides fair waged jobs to refugees in Austin, Texas and the women owned eco-conscious brand Blue Avocado. This video is what really made ME say yes to Say YES. The story of Odile is unimaginable and… View Post

What I Wore-Summer Rainy Day Outfit

/ / 9 Comments
Rainy warm days used to be a little tricky for me. Because my feet get super hot (*blushing*), so wearing boots or galoshes while it’s already hot is not my ideal solution to summer rain. That’s why I’m happy to have my Melissa Shoes! These keep my feet dry, saves me from “wet shoe feeling”, and they don’t make my feet hot like boots. Winning!

Good Habits: Start a Routine

/ / 3 Comments
(Source Archive.com) So I’ve started to think having a routine would be a very good habit. I read this post on the Good Lifer and it really really inspired me. I love the idea of having a “very considered manner”  to your day. The above routine is from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin…simple and thoughtful and grounded in two questions: “What good shall I do this day?” and “What good have I done today?” Not a bad way to evaluate… View Post
