Friday Food For Thought
Most of you know I'm Greek. Does that mean I'm born a philosopher? Not really, but my thoughts about life and how we live are always on my mind. Just some random warm fuzzies running through my head I wanna leave you with... about business about relationships about life about how we live..... 1. Do all things genuinely and authentically. It shows when you do and it shows when you don't. Just sayin. 2. … [Read more...]
Greys, Grays and Golds, Part 2
A little while ago I shared my love for grays and golds with you HERE. I don't know what it is about color and metal combination, but I've always loved it and I think I always will. Here are a few sightings in my home (not including all my mirrored furniture that has both silver and gold.... ) ... a few things I spotted at our local fabulous West Elm... ... and of course some online window … [Read more...]
Gold Plated
I had the most delightful pleasure of having a cooking class for a few of my girlfriends and myself last week hosted by Joanna Gold, owner of Gold Plated Personal Chef Services. (Ok, can I first say how LUCKY of a gal to have that last name??? GOLD? I have told Joanna that before... and it is SO fitting for our experience... ) I've never hired a personal chef before, but let me tell you, the service that she and her staff provide are … [Read more...]
Hat Style: The Fedora
I was recently tagged in a Facebook post to advise on stylish winter hats. So I thought maybe more people had issues as to what to do when you don't wanna wash your hair, you don't wanna bun it or put it in a ponytail, and you really want more style than a baseball cap. So I'm getting into fedoras. While I bought my first one last winter and wore it only once, I'm breaking into this … [Read more...]
Clearing the Clutter: Desks
I thought the perfect way to start the work week was by talking about our work space. In particular, our desks. I donno about you, but I go thru spurts of keeping things orderly, and then things get crazy and I have piles of stuff, and then I go back and reorganize and it's this constant trying to keep things in their place and in a place that I know I'll have access to them. My office is upstairs away from everrrrryyyyone which is VERY nice, … [Read more...]

Cocktails: Raspberry Spritzer Crush
Since today IS hump day, and if you're feeling kinda in a slump, AND if you're a cocktails kinda person, then this might get you out of your hump-day-slump. Truth being said, I'm not much of a drinker, even though a few drinks make me feel good especially in good company. But in all honesty, I really don't like the way my body reacts to them for the most part. I usually swell up and retain water or get headaches. No fun. And, I learned … [Read more...]
Shorts and Boots: Fashion Show Plan A
Several weeks ago, our local boutiques from Classen Curve and Nichols Hills Plaza (part of Western Avenue) put on a fall fashion show and it was so fabulous. You can recall it HERE and HERE. I was supposed to wear shorts and boots. Well, I got word that I would be one of the emcees that evening, which made me rethink my dress for the evening. I wanted to wear something fashionable for SURE since after all, it IS a fashion show. But, I … [Read more...]
Be On Purpose. Simply Said.
I'd like to call today Meaningful Monday. It's so easy to get sidetracked... and I really haven't gotten sidetracked so much as just let myself bloom more into what I'm supposed to be doing. Evolving so to speak. Which is following my passions. But it's also inline with what this is all about. Being On Purpose. When I started my blog over 2 years ago, I was so excited to share inspirational thoughts and ideas with the world, to believe in … [Read more...]
