a quick life update


We're safe.

Hubby and I evacuated from Hurricane Milton earlier this week.

Where we're hanging out, the weather is much cooler, and the humidity is much lower.

It feels like Fall even though we don't have the colorful leaves.

It's almost like we're camping. Except with cats.

No makeup, one pair of earrings, comfy T-shirts, a hoodie, joggers, and flip-flops.

My nails aren't painted—neither are my toes.

I'm overdue for a haircut.

Yet, I'm making new friends and having the time of my life.

I wouldn't have enjoyed this experience as much had I not been honest with myself.

Because at some point, we all face a situation in which we can't rely on our appearances for confidence.

You have to accept yourself first, flaws and all.

My philosophy is that most (if not all) beauty and style headaches disappear once you get that piece right.

Nothing external can compensate for internal issues.

Just wanted to share that.

In the meantime, we're still without power and unsure of when we'll be able to get home.

Hopefully, that time will come soon!

But here's the truth: A "good deal" isn't good if it leads to regret, clutter, or overspending. So, before you click "Buy Now" on that personal purchase, pause. Ask yourself: → Do I actually...

I didn't think I could write an email this week. But then I realized — how could I not send one? The truth is, I'm grieving. I lost my mom this week. And as I stood in her hospital room filled with family I hadn't seen in years, everything I'd believed for so long was confirmed. The endgame isn't to improve how we look. It's not about the perfect outfit. It's not about a flawless makeup routine. Nor is it about how well we curate our color palettes. It's about something much deeper. For most...

Are you trying to make new friends as an adult? It can feel impossible. But there's one big reason that can make it more complicated than what you might expect. And that reason is personal growth. Curious as to why? As we grow, our values, interests, and priorities naturally shift. They reflect who we've become. And while that's beautiful, the challenge is that the people we used to feel at home with don't fit anymore. Rest assured — it's normal. You've evolved. But the tricky part is that it...
