The Art of Flying Solo: The Inspiration

Recently, I had the urge to write again. I have a budding interior business, but I wasn’t in the mood to talk color, texture, space, or functionality. I wanted to write about something that was light, fun, and entertaining. So I started to think about what I’m good at beyond my professional career. What could…

Episode #1: Welcome to Candy + Color + Conversation with Tina B.

It’s my first podcast! It’s a little rough…I’m speaking too close to the mic, forgive me. Trying to find my podcast voice, my cadence, and the right flow. This episode is an introduction to Candy + Color + Conversation with Tina B. as well as a little about myself. I chat, or rather ramble about…

B. Inspired: Grow

Happy Good Friday Friends! It’s been a long and productive week for me. Lots of deadlines, deliverables and most importantly, I have officially submitted my application to graduate school. I read an article not long ago about choosing an inspirational word for the year. It’s actually something I came across on social media. The idea…

B. Inspired: Owning Your Life

Happy Friday Everyone! As the summer dwindles down (although you wouldn’t know it by the weather), we are once again in a transition of sorts. Kids are back to school, traffic is indeed heavier, work may be picking up and we all adjust accordingly because that’s what we do. Have you ever thought about what…

B. Inspired: The Habit of Gratitude

Dear Friends, It’s the closing of a week once again and in this case, the closing of a month as well. The summer is flying and before we know it, the rapid and joyous holiday season will be upon us. One of the things we can never outrun is time. Time continues to move forward…

B. Inspired: Reflections on Self Care

Hello friends! It’s been a long time. I only like to post when I genuinely feel I’ve got something to say that will help someone. The blog is ever-evolving and I have found that my posts on personal and life journey inspiration resonate with most followers. So today I’m going to talk a little bit…

B. Inspired: Is There More?

That one true thing. That one idea, space of being, purpose or life quest that ignites you from the inside out. Let us concentrate on searching out the sort of life, existence, and journey that generates contentment. Gives life, receives life, and is in fact fueled by it. Holding space on this Earth is not enough. Going…

B. Inspired: Your Independence

Happy Friday, folks! Summer is in its full groove and we have yet another holiday weekend. Monday, July 4th we celebrate America’s independence as a country. When you think about independence, what comes to mind? How has independence or the journey towards it affected you? Independence can mean a lot of different things for different…

B. Styled: Summer Fun

It’s FRIDAY!!!! This day could not get here soon enough for me. This weekend is actually the first official weekend of summer. Sunshine, shades, and sangria! What are your plans? Will you be out enjoying the sunshine? At the beach? Grilling out with family and friends? I’ve curated 5 of the the best (in my…

B. Inspired: About Waiting

Hello dear friends! It’s been a while. I’ve missed writing and connecting with you, but I also needed a break to refuel. There’s lots happening for me and I have found that stepping away can often be the best way to handle stress, anxiety, or a creative dry-spell. Do you ever get the sense that you…

Forever Purple Reign

We lost Prince yesterday. One of music’s greatest icons, influences, and forces. A musical genius. An artist that created definitive work and became legendary within his own lifetime. Many tributes have been paid, but I wish more had been done to celebrate all that he not only gave to music but his incredible work in activism,…

B. Inspired: Boundaries Are a Good Thing

Happy Friday everyone…it’s been a while. I took a writing break for a few weeks as things have been busier than ever. I hope you’ve been well. I always want to give my best and when I run on empty, I can’t do that so I’ve learned when to break. Even as I watch the calendar days fly…
