(A lil ditty inspired by this post, & the comment I left on it.) I know you. I know how annoyed you get, trying to nail yourself into a box every time, only to find that no, this isn’t the right box either. Nothing fits. Everything stifles. You end up frustrated, feeling pulled in every…
Unboxing: DIY Magnificence
Y’all ready for this? (“This” being probably the most excited you will ever see me on video.) Like I said in the video: full review coming later. However, I do have a few first impressions to share which you probably mostly gathered from the video. The main thing being – when Catherine announced DIY Magnificence…
in style & in life, you gotta work with what you’ve got
I went through something of a second growth spurt a year or two ago, around my 21st birthday. Before, I’d had slightly above average boobs that looked big on my small frame; suddenly, I had huge boobs, a butt and hips and thighs to match, and shimmery silver stretch marks that sprouted out of nowhere….
Getting Back to Serenity
SO. The last two or three weeks have been what I would normally call an “emotional rollercoaster” but I don’t really think that quite covers the scope of things. I was already burned out and stressed out. Matt and I got in an utterly epic fight last week and I hit a wall so hard I…
Monthly Missive: March
All the awesomeness from March, wrapped up & tied with a bow for your perusal! Take Back Your Creativity So, as you’ll probably remember, I launched Take Back Your Creativity, my very very first product! on the 20th. In case you were curious, here’s some of what people have to say about it: I am…
evolution, radical self care, & introspection
Wanna know a secret? I. Am. Fucking. Exhausted. (Not as exhausted as when I first wrote those words, some three weeks or so ago, since I’ve been trying to slow down this last week. But still pretty exhausted. And the fact that I first wrote that three weeks ago shows you how long I’ve been…
Labels Are Only Good On Wine
via When do labels stop serving us? I’m thinking in particular of “right brain” vs. “left brain”. I don’t feel like “right brained” is a good label for me, at all, although I suppose it sort of fits on the surface. I’m something of both worlds when it comes to the right vs. left brain issue….
BRB, recuperating
It’s true – I’m trying to slow things down this week after the whirlwind that was March. Not only was there the product launch and SXSWi, but we had between two and four house guests staying with us for ten days straight. Ten days, y’all. That’s a lot of days to have virtually no personal space….
No More “Buts”: A Lesson Illustrated With Shoes
This pair of shoes is from Fluevog. They are effing gorgeous and they cost $319. Not Christian Louboutin prices, but not cheap either. In the past, when sharing the light of Fluevog (glory-be and hallelujah!) with shoe-skeptical friends, I would immediately follow the price range of the shoes – which is approximately$200-500 – with “But…

Yes, friends, you read that right – you can now head on over to the Take Back Your Creativity website and get your own copy! *throws confetti, does happy dance* I am worn out, but so, so happy to have this done and out in the world. I woke up with the idea in the…
