You're a Natural

March 28, 2017

I cannot get enough of neutrals lately. I love blending warm and cool neutral tones to create rich, complex color palettes.

Finding Inspiration

March 9, 2017

This week I have been trying to reignite the creative engines. I don't know if I have had much luck but I found myself looking for new music to match my soul's current longing.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

March 3, 2017

This has been my mantra this week. After flying to Cleveland and having a very eventful stay, my fiancé, Taylor and I were at the airport all day Monday to eventually find out that our flight was cancelled. So there we were stranded. 

You gotta keep going...

Let Go

February 23, 2017

Being a creative I find myself vacillating between wanting to be free and flexible for creative genius to hit and OCD overdrive. I feel like the majority of the time being creative and finding flow is somewhere between these two extremes. 

THE POWER OF "GOOD ENOUGH"

Bring on the Storm

February 21, 2017

Happy Tuesday! 

Over the weekend there were a bunch of rainstorms that came through L.A. which is very RARE. Having recently relocated to L.A. it has been a surprise to have had so much rain and it's definitely not usual. Cleveland, my hometown, gets a ton of rain, so I'm starting to think this might be more than a coincidence ;) Though it was unusual for the locals here, to me it feels like home.

Take it Slow

February 16, 2017

If you're anything like me, I can't help but feel that the world is more upside down than ever, and I try to resist feeling pulled into the crazy vortex which seems to persist at this current point of time. I have been working on leaning into this discomfort, however it has not been easy. I have found that it has affected the kind of music I am drawn to listening to. As of late, I want to listen to cello or piano instrumentals, so I thought I would share my current mood playlist with you today. So here is some gorgeous, instrumental music to give you some good vibes before the weekend starts! 

A moment of calm

Valentine's Day - Practicing Gratitude on this Day of Love

February 14, 2017

Valentine's Day is becoming less and less a day celebrating romantic relationships and one that celebrates love. Love for your closest friends and family, love for that significant other you have in your life, and also love for yourself.

Celebrating Love in All of Our Relationships

2017 Trends →

January 19, 2017

   The start of the year has shown continuations of many trends that have been prevalent in previous years, however there are several trends that have evolved into something new entirely. There has been a refresh on trends that speak to humanist qualities, that I believe reflects the current cultural subconscious.

2017 will be a year full of contradictions
