Craving a new outfit or decor? Try this instead! Monthly emails on how to define your personal style using items you already own. Who knew buying less could be so fun?! YAS!

“I thought this was gonna be about furniture 🙃..”

“…but this is so much better!” 😆🙌🏽 This month’s Wednesday Wisdom* is inspired by a comment from a live online event I did on January 13th. Her comment nailed what Your Aesthetic Style is about & why it’s different! 🎯 In my talk, we did a home visualization exercise, instead of me giving furniture rearranging tips and it was a hit! Typically, when making a change to our home or outfits, the first thing we do is start researching tips, how to guides etc. We’re eager to know what to do & jump in...

Cozy autumn feels without the $$ bills

Hi Reader :) When the season changes, shops loooove to remind us of new decor to buy. So this month’s Wednesday Wisdom* is a list of 4 cozy fall decor ideas that don’t require spending money. 1) Showcase everyday items that have fall colors. Maybe you have a few mugs that are orange, red, or yellow? Put them on display! Recently my son picked me a bouquet of wildflowers, I clipped the stems short and placed them in a teacup. It was a cute and fun autumn twist to a traditional vase. Or maybe...

...because I've got a list of recommendations for you! Hi Reader :) This month's Wednesday Wisdom* is an archive of articles I've written on how to get the most out of the clothes already in your closet. In March of this year, I became an associate style editor for a digital magazine called People Over Product, it's all about ways fashion can become sustainable. Writing for them has brought perspectives I don't normally think about, for instance, trends. That's a subject I don't typically...

Have you heard of 'Secondhand September'?

Hi Reader :) I only learned about it recently...and now September is almost over ha! But the concept is worthwhile anytime of year ;) I love the intention of a month focused on shopping secondhand...it sparked this month's nugget of wisdom.* Rather than talk about shopping tips... I'll share a few tips for letting go of items in your home. When I first started decluttering, getting stuff out of my house to a donation center was hard enough *phew*. Later as my business got more involved in...

The most underrated gems in our homes...

Can you guess what those gems are?? Here's a hint...it also starts with 'W' syncing perfectly as this month's Wednesday Wisdom* topic: . . Walls!! Our walls are hidden gems in our homes...just there waiting, full of untapped potential.. In fact, adding to our walls is one of the simplest ways to transform a space; adding a new 'wow' factor. The reason walls are gems is because they speak directly to your eyes! Our eyes literally go there first, especially if items are hung at eye level. (eye...

Lesson learned: Don't Skimp on Reflection

Hi Reader :) The other day I was feeling 'blah', frustrated and stuck, all at once lol! Relatable? Just one of those 'cloud around your head' days...I knew why but that still it didn't make the feeling go away. With our family adjusting to new summer schedules and all the decisions, my brain was feeling maxed out. The last thing on my mind was to stop and reflect with so much to do! But I did. I took a few hours of 'me-time' at Starbucks, without my laptop or phone. Instead I brought my two...
