  • Celebrate women everywhere #IWD

    Today is #InternationalWomensDay. It commemorates the movement for women’s rights. Is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. I am very proud to be a woman and be surrounded by so many wonder, talented and supporting women.

    You may be in school right now, working from home, working outside of home, retired, or a stay at home mom taking care of your kiddos; no matter where you are right now or what you are doing at this precise moment know that I am celebrating you. Cheers to you boss lady! (more…)

  • Balance vs Guilt

    Balance? What? What does that even mean? It’s whatever you want or need it to be. For me balance is being able to take my girls to school in the morning, pick them up after school and eating together as a family. All while making a living doing what I love; creating products for the woman that’s always on the go and don’t want to sacrifice her style.

    On other times of the year, like summer, is about being able to schedule outdoor time. Maybe a road trip as a family, some picnics in the park with the girls or soaking up some sun beside the pool. Which may mean having to work during odd hours in order to spend those beautiful hot days out and about with the family. The girls are growing up, fast, and I don’t want to miss special moments with them. My schedule changes often. Who’s with me? Are you also trying to make it happen for your business while raising your kiddos all at the same time?

  • Intentional #wordoftheyear

    A couple of years ago I started choosing a word for the year. I would normally create a board with the word I have chosen and images that inspires that particular word. In my kitchen I have a chalkboard for quick notes and I write my word in there too so I can see it constantly. The goal, for me, is to have accessible sight to the word I have chosen and things that reminds me “why” I chose that word.

  • Boundaries…

    Boundaries is not only for those family members of friends that may think “Oh, he or she is home I can call and she’ll pick up” or “I can go by and have some coffee”. Boundaries are for yourself too. What?

    Make your time more effective. Set a working schedule, honor it and educate others on what that schedule means for you. If I am working and a friend calls I send them a text letting them know that I am working and that I will be calling them at an specific time. Or if I need to make a doctors appointment I won’t schedule during those hours.
