Yes, yes. I recall just last week posting about my minimalist goals for the year and droning on about how much direction and magnitude you can achieve in your life when you embrace less. However, let’s not make the mistake of depriving ourselves of things we truly enjoy and items that add value to our lives. Read More →
Have you been feeling sluggish lately? Sleeping poorly or waking up feeling heavy? Barely making it through the afternoon without a nap? Perhaps it’s time to give your body a mild reset.

One of my favorite apps that I’ve come across in the last year has helped me purge my closet, find potential for my clothes, and learn to appreciate each piece. Stylebook!
