How I Pack for a Month in Europe Using Only a Carry-On

As I’ve been planning for our upcoming trip to London this summer, I realized that I don’t start with a packing list. I start with a vision.

The Power of Personal Style
The Power of Personal Style

Sharing this with you makes me smile – I love thinking back to the girl who felt confident and beautiful in that rainbow shirt and the girl who refused to attend her college classes in baggy t-shirts and Ugg boots and instead opted for a sequined top.

4 Reasons You Need to Clean Out Your Closet This Spring

Spring is a season for new beginnings – as the flowers start blooming and the birds begin singing, our souls (and our homes) start longing for some renewal.

How to Flourish in 2025: My Word of the Year

To flourish means to “grow or develop in a healthy and vigorous way; to suddenly perform or develop in an impressively successful way.”

Like I mentioned earlier, I have several goals for this year and while the main focus is my health, I also have family, career, and spiritual goals. I love how the definition for the word “flourish” taps into each of these areas. It’s not limited to my physical health. Hence, the power of choosing a single word.
