  • Motivational Monday: What I learned at Alt

    It’s been a whirlwind for me since I got back from Alt Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah last week and I finally had some time to sit down and write a post. Then I realized that in the craziness of the week I somehow accidently deleted ALL my alt photos!! Talk about a big…

  • SAME BUT DIFFERENT / 02

    Welcome to another edition of Same but Different, where you get to see how my brain is visually connecting the dots between all the beautiful things I am constantly processing.     1/2 • 3/4 • 5/6 • 7/8 • 9/10 • 11/12

  • {MONDAY MOTIVATION: art that motivates}

      How are those resolutions coming along? Even though it may be a bit cliché, resolutions or not you have to admit that January automatically brings with it a feeling to get with the program, get your sh!t together and work it. Now, the hope is that the feeling will last longer than the line…

  • {INSPIRATION: tunes to make you move}

    So I think I just unintentionally made my first resolution for the year. I don’t know about you but for me music really is magical. It’s hard to explain what a big part it plays in my life but it has some serious powers over me. After a small girls night spent overflowing with love…

    BlogPodium Part 2: the main event

    So if you follow me on twitter, Instagram, or facebook you KNOW that I attended BlogPodium this past Saturday.

  • BlogPodium 2013 Part 1: Tea with Sarah Richardson

    So remember that ‘dream room’ moodboard I put together awhile back for a contest ran by BlogPodium to meet Sarah Richardson? Well it looks like Sarah also shares my dream and I was chosen as one of the winners to have tea with her at her design studio. I’ve been watching Sarah on TV for…

  • { BlogPodium: what’s in your bag? }

    Wow, time is going by at lightening speed. I feel like I was just at Alt Design Summit in San Fran and now it’s already time for Toronto’s BlogPodium this coming Saturday. I’m really looking forward to meeting local bloggers and experts. One of my goals is to do more collaborations in the future so…

  • SAME BUT DIFFERENT / 01

    Isn’t it funny how your brain sees things and makes connections? I spend (too much) time on Pinterest and surfing the web and started to notice a bunch of visual connections. So many things are the same, but different. I’ve decided to connect these dots on paper so they can stop running around my head. PAINTING / DRESS PRINT / PILLOW…

  • MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: when it’s ok to quit

    Monday is like a mini fresh start every week. You get a chance to start the week off right, a little more refreshed, maybe on a new health kick, clean laundry and fridge full of food. For me today is a super big fresh start. Last Friday was my last day as a full-time employee…
