DO: Have a garage sale I’ve been moving out of my apartment of two years all throughout this past week. To say the least, the experience has been a little traumatic. I can’t help but feel bogged down by all of the stuff I’ve acquired. Never before have I wanted so badly to just throw (…) Read more »

Saturday DO
Aug 13, 2011Saturday DO: breathe and smile. I used to always hate pigeon pose – the hip opening exercise which you are supposed to relax into for several minutes at the end of a yoga practice. It hurt me, and having to sit through it for so long just made it worse. I’m already horrible at sitting (…) Read more »

Aug 06, 2011DO: look at something that makes you smile. I started these Saturday DOs with the importance of laughter and self entertainment.

Saturday DO
Jul 30, 2011DO: embrace change. One of the life lessons that comes with age, is that life is not always the same – there are many phases, and change is a continual force that will take hold of your life as it progresses. Before the change comes, it’s typical to be in a state of limbo. You’re (…) Read more »

Doe Run Farm
Jul 21, 2011Last week I was lucky enough to go on a phenomenal field trip with other Free People and Urban Inc. interns. We were invited to visit the 400 acre Doe Run Farm in Chester County, PA. It’s almost unfair to even call the place a farm; it was more like a country oasis for animals (…) Read more »
Saturday DO
Jul 16, 2011DO: n’t think twice. During college, I once went to hear a successful producer from the television industry talk on his career, and give out advice to us young students. People asked him questions about how he went about choosing new shows – what numbers he looked at and other dry research questions. He kindly (…) Read more »
