Journaling is a meditative practice, a mechanical motion of repeatedly pressing pen to paper.

Back in High School I would define my sense of style as “definitely still figuring it out.” I couldn’t really articulate what it is was that I liked or was looking for, only that I knew it when I saw it. This innate knowing –without the proper vocabulary to express this surety– has been a

Living, Loving & Learning: Book Review

Leo Buscaglia’s collection of lectures, “Living, Loving & Learning” is exactly what the cover describes– “The JUBILANT #1 Best Seller.” His deep knowledge of the human condition and wisdom of the human spirit create timeless lessons that ring just as true today as when they written back in the 70’s.

Fashion Industry of Tomorrow

This pandemic has forced us all to reconsider and reimagine the things we accepted as normal and, even, presumed to be essential.
