B. Inspired – Lights, Camera, Life!

It’s Friday! My favorite day of the week. Lots of people love Saturday, but I simply love the anticipation of the weekend…the hope and beginning of it all. This Saturday I am attending the Martha Stewart American Made Summit. Speakers such as Martha herself, Arianna Huffington and Emeril Lagasse will speak about entrepreneurship, passion, creativity…

B. Organized – Declutter + Destress

We are well into that holiday season and if you are like me, you may have discovered (while putting away the Halloween décor and getting out the Harvest décor) that a good amount of stuff you are storing may actually be junk (yes, junk!). Sometimes those plastic storage totes in our basements, under our beds…

B. Inspired – Your Words, Your Thoughts; Your Life

Ever wonder if your life is just a series of random events or if your words and thoughts actually have an impact on your day to day outcomes. I believe in the power of words. So much so that I started this blog two years ago in hopes to encourage or inspire anyone that read…

B. Styled – Seasonal Styling for Your Home

I am a holiday junkie. This is a real confession. I absolutely love celebrating the holidays. I love finding new recipes, I love entertaining small groups of friends and family, and I love decorating my home. Creating themed décor spaces throughout your home is a fun and easy way to celebrate the holidays. Do a lot…

Living My Life Like It’s Golden!

About 35…I am writing this on the eve of my 35th birthday. It’s one I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. I like to think of 35 as the lonely milestone that doesn’t get the hype that other milestone ages receive. You’ve got Sweet 16, Legal 21, Finally-a-Real-Adult 25 and of course the…

Breathing Space

I am a long time reader of O, Magazine founded by the incomparable Oprah Winfrey. One of the features I have always looked forward to in the magazine is the full page spread titled Breathing Space. It’s not a story or feature article. It is always simply a high resolution image of heavenly scenery or landscape…

Fashion Crush: Style Meets Art

I don’t know about you, but Spring ushers in the need to refresh the closet scene. It’s a great time to purge, donate and figure out what pieces are needed for the season. I love to make a ‘must have’ list to shop from and then ad lib from there. Today’s blog is more or…

In Le Jardin!

Do you have a green thumb? It’s about that time of year where yard and garden envy begins. There’s nothing like a well manicured lawn and bonus points if you maintain a garden of any sort. As a person who aspires to eat homegrown, the idea of growing my own fruits, vegetables and herbs is…

Friday Feature: Homegrown Taste & Culture

No matter who you are, what culture, race or group you represent, chances are food is a vital part of your everyday routine and often, even part of your cultural identity. I’m a big fan of cooking and baking from scratch. Growing up in the midwest, my mother prepared all of our meals, packed our lunches…

Rebirth: Spring is Here

Happy Spring & Happy Easter, my friends. Oh, how I delight in the budding plants and flowers as Spring peeks it head out after an icy, cold and wet winter. The blog is undergoing lots of changes so we’ll continue our conversation on color through April as well as tackling Spring cleaning, quarterly purging and…
