I have more questions than answers when it comes to the male brain. But let’s start small today, class… What’s the deal with “labels”? How does one little word cause so much tension and strife? And, my most important question—is that all that’s keeping us apart? As you’ve gathered by now, I don’t have the […]
Dad-isms: Advice from My Father
Happy Father’s Day! It’s that time again…and since I did a post for Mother’s Day, it only seemed fair to write one for Dad’s day. But that’s not the reason I did it, of course: it just so happens that both of my parents have really good advice and memorable sayings. And, they’re two of […]
Pretty Things and Witty Words: A Kate Spade Tribute
“She has a way with words, red lipstick and making an entrance.” – Kate Spade The first time I read that quote, I thought to myself, “that was written for me.” In fact, I find myself thinking that almost every time I read a Kate Spade-ism. The brand has always seemed to “get” me—my style, […]
Mom-isms: Advice from My Mother
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Even though there’s only one day technically dedicated to these rock stars, we really should be acknowledging them every damn minute of every day. None of us would be who we are without our moms. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to have a strong […]
Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sure, that’s a line from a 2000’s emo-pop song. But it’s also the truth. I’m 26 years old, but sometimes I feel like I’m 100. I am perpetually exhausted. Not your run-of-the-mill, I-work-a-full-time-job tired. We’re talking hit-by-a-bus, end-of-a-month-long-bender tired. The kind where your body feels like […]
Kissing Frogs
Yesterday, I treated myself to a massage. Well, that’s a stretch…it was free at my gym because I referred a new client. But, let’s pretend that’s something I could afford to do on a whim. Anyway, it was amazing. I have decided that insurance companies should cover massages like they do a psychiatrist visit. Not […]
#CurrentMood {2.14}
It’s Valentine’s Day! And, while I’ve never had a “real” Valentine, the holiday celebrates a few things I’m fond of: pink, chocolate, and love! This year, I’m more about self-love than ever. Don’t forget to show yourself some appreciation—today and every day! Colorfully Yours, Haley All images via Pinterest.
Taking Advice…From Ourselves
We’ve all had that talk with a friend. That “you’re so much better than him” talk. That friend usually looks us as with sad, ashamed eyes. “I know,” she’ll say, as she looks down. But things don’t change. We tell her over and over that she deserves so much more. We list her best qualities […]
Wise Words: 01.09.18
I’m a total quote hoarder. You probably didn’t even know that was a thing, but here I am. On the heels of my 2018 New Year’s resolutions post, I wanted to share some that have been speaking to me lately. I hope they speak to you, too! Colorfully Yours, Haley All images are from Pinterest.
New Year, Slightly New Me
Happy New Year, friends! Can someone tell me how 2018 crept up so quickly? Normally, I’m not a huge believer in New Year’s resolutions. If I have specific goals in mind, I try to set and accomplish them throughout the year, rather than “saving them up” for January. This year, though, I’m going to make […]
