My apartment is in desperate need of a style lift. I’ve lived there for over 4 years, and it still looks like I just moved in. I think the fanciest thing that I’ve done is hang gorgeous purple curtains in the living room and buy some gray/purple/burgundy pillows for my couch. I have always been in a state of transition in that apartment and that has been the sole reason for my lack of decoration. [...]

For Valentine’s Day, I decided that I wanted to complete a service project, whether that was volunteering on the weekend or creating something to donate. During the love-themed weekend, I wanted to give a little bit of my own heart and warmth to someone else. So, on Friday afternoon, it hit me! I would create handmade Valentine’s Day cards and deliver to a nursing home, hospital, or some other facility with a similar focus. Thinking [...]
Every now and then, I come across a charity/nonprofit that makes me super giddy, keeps me smiling, and turns me into a lifetime fan/supporter. Glamour Gals is definitely one of those organizations. Launched 10 years ago by Rachel Doyle, the mission of Glamour Gals is to inspire and organize teens to provide ongoing complimentary beauty makeovers to elderly women in nursing homes. *HUGE smile* There are so many positive elements to this organization: the volunteerism, [...]

Today is “Go Red” day in promotion of women’s heart health! The American Heart Association launched “Go Red” to educate the public about the impact of cardiovascular disease on women. Coronary heart disease, which causes heart attack, is the single leading cause of death for American women. Nearly twice as many women in the United States die of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases as from all forms of cancer, including breast cancer. This [...]
I was on the Kenneth Cole website yesterday and saw the above boots and fell in love for three reasons: 1. I need a good pair of rubber boots for the rainy days. Who doesn’t? 2. I’ve seen some really cute rugged and combat style boots, and wanted to ease into the trend. 3. (Probably the best reason). 100% of the profits from these boots will benefit Kenneth Cole’s Awearness Fund in partnership with amfAR, [...]
It’s crazy how January disappeared on us, but I hope this means that this spring and summer will return sooner versus later! This past weekend, I took a walk along the frozen lakefront and realized that I really do love the wacky and cold city of Chicago. Then, I had dinner with my family (more love), followed by a long conversation with my oldest friend (even more love). I’m my happiest when I feel like [...]
