My Surf-Inspired Office Redo.

My office space was in desperate need of a little re-vamp this Spring. I so badly want to be inspired and uplifted while I'm working. In the midst of redoing my office space I developed some tips on how to refresh any office space. 

Focus.
Focus.

Honestly, it’s been hard for me to stay focused this year. Seems like I’m constantly getting distracted, whether it be by Netflix binges (Real House Wives of Beverly Hills) or cramming work in with late night social media scrolling. Some personal projects have been put on the back burner. I’m a little sad about this.
Bedroom Details.

My bedroom is my haven. I like to keep the room  fresh and clean. I want it to feel airy and light. Doesn’t everyone want to float on a cloud when they go to bed ?  
My Rituals.

Every day can bring it's own fair share of challenges. I’ve found it’s important to do little things throughout the day which make a big difference in coping. I have developed some rituals that help keep me balanced in the craziness of busy days. Here’s my list of rituals that keep me grounded on a daily basis.

    out in the neighborhood.

    Been craving things that are just plain comforting lately. Whether it be old friends coming to visit, maybe a slice of apple pie, an old book that is so familiar, or the perfect pair of blue jeans (that don’t make you feel like you have a food baby).

    getting lost in Joshua Tree...

    It’s been a few months since our trip to Joshua Tree National Park. Aaron and I both had not been there before, so we took it upon ourselves to try to explore every lovely inch of it! While exploring, I threw on this dress because we thought it...

    Overcoming Self-Doubt
    Overcoming Self-Doubt

    Now this title is a little misleading, but bear with me. I am so so SOOO far away for conquering self-doubt. I mean… it’s quite the process, people! My struggle with self-doubt will probably never be over until I am maybe in a walker… or maybe dead.

    Three Generations on Natural Beauty.

    My mom and grandmother came to New York City for a visit a couple months ago. My family very rarely gets to come visit so this was quite a treat. I was so excited to have gal time with my favorite home-girls (literally) haha! My grandma hadn't...

    Bits and Pieces.

    I had a few crazy freakouts this week. Anxiety is an issue I deal with. How about you? I know better, but sometimes I let emotions get the best of me. Soooo I'm trying to take one day at a time! Time is going too fast, however! 

    What does rocking a red lip mean to me?
    What does rocking a red lip mean to me?

    Verily Magazine approached me a few weeks ago with the question: "What does rocking a red lip really mean to you?" I love how red lips add extra sparkle to any outfit. When I'm dressing down for casual comfort, bold red lips add...

    Looking back at 2017 has been so fun! We did my favorite thing in the world: travel! Our most recent trip was a return to Paris and Iceland (Where we were engaged and married!). More on Iceland later, but for now I want to focus on our stay in Paris. It was extra special thanks to the wonderful hotel, Saint James Paris Relais & Chateaux.

    Our recent trip to Morocco was nothing short of surreal. I loved exploring all the sights and smells this marvelous country had to offer. We found ourselves getting lost in the medinas and markets, eating all the different delicious tagines.

    I bought some records from a Montauk shop called Intersleeve last weekend. I've been playing these new gems every chance I get. I'm rockin' the tunes in the morning when I have a few seconds to spare while making coffee or writing one more email...

    Pasta is one of my favorite things ever. This is why I partnered with the kind folks at KitchenAid to create a healthy spin on my go-to favorite. I am sharing my recipe for Spicy Sweet Potato Pasta. I used the KitchenAid 5 Blade Spiralizer to...

    I love baking during the holidays. There is nothing better than whipping up some warm and comforting treats for your loved ones to enjoy. I’m finally home for Christmas. I love taking time to bake special sweets.

      Love and Laughter

      Love and Laughter. This is not a bad combination. It’s always been pretty easy for me to laugh. I laugh at goofy jokes, laugh at funny circumstances and, sometimes, I just have to laugh at myself.

      I hope you are having a happy and healthy 2018! Aaron and I have enjoyed some precious time with family and friends these past couple of weeks. Now we’re back in New York City trying to stay warm. It is so cold!

      the magic of movement.

      Sometimes, I'd rather not move. I like to sit and hide from the world. Perhaps this is one of my main flaws. I'm an introvert with extrovert tendencies-haha. The old double whammy!
