Monster Favor Bags

Ah, the magic of googly eyes. How is it that they’re so simple, yet as soon as they’re placed on any inanimate object, it’s brought to life? I love testing that theory around the office — sticking googlies on computers and soda cans and lampshades — and it’s proven true every single time. So for Halloween this […]

How to Make Your Bathroom Feel Like New

We spend so much time designing our living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, but when it comes to the bathroom we usually pick a shower curtain, a bathmat, and call it a day. It doesn’t help that the bathroom decor section of most stores consists of unattractive matching sets of soap dishes and toothbrush holders […]

How to Be More Confident

I’ll be honest – sitting down to write this post was more of a challenge than I expected. I’ve always considered myself a confident person: I thrive in groups even when I don’t know a lot of people, I’ve never had a problem with public speaking and I love meeting new people. I’m an extrovert, […]

Are You Doing Your Laundry Right?

Oh, laundry… can anyone out there say that they truly love doing it? (if so, tell me your secret!) Laundry can be a drag, but since it’s an inevitable part of life — for most of us, multiple times per week — we might as well learn to do it really well. After all, those […]

Are Hats the New Gallery Wall?

Gallery walls can be an intimidating project to start because as we all know, the best collections are acquired over time. And finding the art is just the first step. You still have to frame it all in a coordinated fashion and arrange and hang them in a formation that’s pleasing to the eye. So if, like […]

Is Technology Making You Crazy?

“This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 13 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.” It’s a message I wake up to daily, the week count steadily climbing alongside my anxiety. Here’s the thing: in the last 13 weeks, my iPhone has all-at-once been plugged in, locked and […]

How to Makeover an Antique

Consider this post to be my official apology to anyone who wanted to get together last March. It’s not that I didn’t want to hang out, I just had a standing reservation with this handsome fellow every evening and weekend during that time. You see, after weeks of ogling this gorgeous — though at the time, totally neglected […]
