What Purple Says About You
Feb 26, 2013I find it mesmerizing that specific colors can be so strongly connected to certain emotions or ideas. This week’s trend on our site is called Purple Haze, and with Amethyst as February’s birthstone, it seems there would be no better a time for such a trend. Purple is the color of magic and mystery.

The Houseplant You’ll Never Kill
Feb 21, 2013I’ve always been a houseplant lover. I love the energy they bring into a home and how a plant-filled room has the ability to make you forget you’re even inside.

Making Everyday Tasks More Meaningful
Feb 19, 2013We all have a to-do list. Whether it’s stored in our phones, scribbled on paper, or floating around in our minds, there’s always a list of things that we have to (and don’t want to) do.

Using Your Outfit To Change Your Mood
Feb 15, 2013Do you ever notice that when you go to get dressed, sometimes your eyes are totally drawn to a specific item, yet other times you’ll completely pass it over?

Beautiful, Century-Old Valentines
Feb 14, 2013I have always been a sucker for all things antique: furniture, clothing, decorations. They allow me to imagine a world where attention was paid to even the tiniest of details and life was just simpler. The Free Library of Philadelphia has a special section called the Print and Picture Collection, which is overflowing with old (…) Read more »
Loving Valentine’s Day, Whatever Your Status
Feb 12, 2013It seems to me that Valentine’s Day is a holiday that’s either loved or despised by any given person. In my experience, many of those who are part of the latter group are there for the same reason: they’re not currently in a relationship. (…) Read more »

Acupuncture Diary, Week 5: Chinese Herbs
Jan 31, 2013Last week I ran out of the Chinese herbs that I had been taking three times a day. Instead of getting a new bottle, my acupuncturist Jenny thought we would try something new. She customized an herbal formula for me that’s made of 13 different Chinese herbs. (…) Read more »
Photo Tour: Finding Calm & Inspiration At A Yoga Studio
Jan 30, 2013Those who practice yoga know that, while regular practice will help to strengthen and lengthen your body tremendously, the physical component is just a fraction of what it’s all about. Yoga is a mental and spiritual practice, and in order to truly feel that connection, it seems that it is best when practiced in a (…) Read more »
2 Ways To Wear 1 Perfect Boho Belt
Jan 29, 2013It’s rare that I actually wear a belt for the original purpose of a belt: to keep pants in place. Actually, that’s probably because it’s rare that I’m not wearing a dress. I love belts because they have the ability to pull a look together, they add interest to any outfit, and they can even (…) Read more »
