When I’m not Writing
I get frustrated with myself sometimes, when I realize I haven’t been writing as much. The last month or so has felt that way... but I also recently realized that one of the reasons I go through these fits and spurts is because those weeks or months I’m not writing represent the time that I… Continue reading When I’m not Writing
Through Style I’ll…. define not just my wardrobe.
Lifestyle... Style isn’t just about the hopefully timeless, beautiful closet. It’s about confidence, day to day living, and values. It’s a reflection of what you think is beautiful in the world.

Adventures in Cooking: The Parfait is Literally the Best
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert... I have quite literally eaten a parfait for every meal known at one point or another in the last month or so. I’ve tried lots of different kinds of granola, yogurts, and flavors. But I have determined the below to be important in my favorites so far. - some added nuts… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: The Parfait is Literally the Best
An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Yeah, a bit morbid perhaps to think of grief as something one can become experienced in, but I think accurate.

Unlike harder jobs, bullying, family struggles, and in some ways even… Continue reading An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Panic -my grief
When he said that you were dead. My second memory of you crying, was when your grandma passed. I know you felt loss, maybe even like I do. But I’m glad you had Grandma and Grandpa. I don’t know if I have any other moments in time, quite so imprinted in my skull as this… Continue reading Panic -my grief
Adventures in Cooking: When the Plan Goes Bad
The plan was to try a one pan Garlic Chicken Breast with peas, peppers, spinach, and pasta. And the chicken went bad... soooooo, I did what I dont exactly consider cooking, but I tried to be thoughtful, intentional, and creative still. I turned to the freezer. There I found a nice frozen chicken and pea… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: When the Plan Goes Bad
Through Style I’ll… document everything I wear for two straight weeks.
This should be interesting.... I’m also saving them in my Cladwell app so that I can go back and use them to figure out really what I need in my closet in an average two weeks, what colors, shapes, etc I wear most often and more. Monday: Home, writing, research, and cooking Cream ‘coffee’ crew… Continue reading Through Style I’ll… document everything I wear for two straight weeks.
An Open Letter to: The Asshole in My Life, I Just Can’t Help But Love
Hey, I wanted to check in and say... I love you. And... You’re an asshole. Unfortunately, it’s still true. I know you’ve probably heard it before. And I know it’s probably hard for you to believe. That’s because your ego is even bigger than your glaring personality issues. Lack of empathy, manipulative and violent tendencies,… Continue reading An Open Letter to: The Asshole in My Life, I Just Can’t Help But Love
Through Style I’ll… shop for the perfect pieces
The first step was coming up with a rough list for what I NEEDED vs. what I WANTED. I used Tan Frances list and suggestions from the Cladwell app to come up with what I felt like a was good place to start.
