Let’s be real – Adjusting back to a normal schedule after the holiday rush can sometimes be a shock to the system. Although I’m feeling refreshed and inspired to make this year better than the last, sometimes you need a few pick-me-ups to avoid a post-holiday funk. Here are a few ideas to keep…
Do or Don’t: New Year Resolutions
Happy 2017, friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We spent time in Columbus with friends watching the ball drop and enjoying a few too many cocktails. But now it’s time to reset and start focusing on those goals for the New Year. Are you a resolution maker? It seems to be…
Post-Christmas Sales
I hope everyone had a cozy Christmas filled with love, joy and plenty of time with family and friends. I feel very fortunate to have enjoyed a warm and merry-filled few days with those I love (including plenty of wine and cheese. Mostly, cheese). It is hard to believe Christmas is already over and we…
Let it Snow
I wasn’t necessarily expecting a white Christmas, but we definitely got our fair share of snow over the last week. And with that I’m pulling out all my cold weather necessities… Hunter boots, turtlenecks, thick coats and lots of layers. I’ll be honest, turtlenecks weren’t really my thing up until a couple months ago…
Plaid Please
After this past weekend, I am fully in holiday mode. We went and saw Office Christmas Party (ridiculous and funny), baked cookies while listening to Robert Goulet Christmas (so good) and went to the Cleveland Flea holiday bazaar. I addressed all my Christmas cards and sipped hot chocolate while it snowed. So ya, I’d…
15 Gifts Under $25
Shopping for little gifts and stocking stuffers is one of my favorite things to do during December. I feel like it’s completely acceptable to stock up on all those (perhaps impractical) little things that make you smile. A cheeky coffee mug? Of course. Penguin socks? Throw ‘em in the cart! That’s good gifting, my friends….
Fancy Pants
Since it’s the season to dress up and celebrate, why not do it in style? I’m definitely a denim girl through and through, but sometimes you have to switch it up and pull out your party pants. I snatched up these lace pants at J.Crew last year, but luckily they are available again at…
Friday Favorites
Holy moly, how is it already December? I have to admit, I’m really excited about this holiday season. It’s a time I cherish and love all the festive activities with close friends and family. This weekend I plan to put up the rest of my holiday décor, take Christmas photos and bake some cookies. Hope…
Back to Reality
The transition back to reality from a vacation can feel long and tough, but I’ve been trying to combat any post-holiday blues with hot yoga and decorating my house. Also with plenty of layers and coats. The best part about winter coats is that you can basically be wearing pajamas underneath and you still…
