It can sometimes feel helpless when thinking about the trajectory of our planet. Although big corporations are at fault for the majority of the damage to our eco-system, there are tons of things we can do on an individual level to help in the fight to save our planet. And, there are tons of organizations and companies that have awesome missions and sustainable products that are awesome to support. By making some simple swaps and choices in our life, we can be part of the change.

Who doesn’t love some retail therapy?? I know I do. But, it’s even more fun when you do it responsibly. While searching for some pieces to amp up your summer wardrobe, don’t forget to take the environment and working conditions in mind. Take a break from Amazon and instead, support a small local business who shares your values. Plus, there are so many ways to buy used online and in person - take advantage!

Time for Spring means time for a refresh. I am always looking forward to an opportunity to upgrade my spaces. As the temperature rises and you’re spending more time outside, create an extension of your home. Whether it’s a small spot to have your morning coffee or a place to gather with friends, your outdoor space is equally important in making your home feel whole and a haven to come back to. Surround yourself with greenery, a nice place to relax, and the warm spring air and you’ll be feeling good!

Decluttering your kids’ toys can be a really tough task! There’s a lot of memories and emotion attached to many of these items. But, kids move on quickly and lose interest in their old toys fast. These items tend to be either very big and bulky, or have lots of little pieces that can be easily lost. So, it’s a good category to regularly assess if everything needs to be kept. These questions will help you stay on track!

There’s nothing better than a freshly cleaned house! With spring just around the corner - officially starting on March 20th - we figured you might be prepping for your spring clean. This is a great time to both tidy up your physical spaces and tidy up the amount of stuff you have. Once you start getting rid of things, and only keeping things you really love and cherish, you will feel lighter and really be able to sink into your space!

Being organized isn't just for your home - organization helps you to do all the things you want to do in your lifetime. For many of us, that includes having thriving relationships with friends, family, and significant others. Sometimes we have to schedule in time for our loved ones, and that’s okay. Maintaining a relationship is hard work - a decision you wake up and make every single day. My relationships thrive the most when we never forget to prioritize the other person’s happiness!

Date night with Chad is something I prioritize and look forward to. It’s something that keeps our relationship alive and helps us be able to prioritize each other’s happiness while keeping fun in the forefront of our relationship. I’m always on the hunt for new activities we can do together and I’d love to share some with you just in time for Valentine’s Day - but these are great year round for you and your partner, or you and a friend!

As January has come to a close, we have finished up our 30 Days to Composed Living - a guide to creating a life you love - that we were featuring on our instagram all throughout the month. BUT, these are practices you can integrate into every month to really prioritize yourself and the aspects of life that you value most. For me, the areas I choose to focus on are: Home, Education, Family + Friends, Marriage + Partnership, Finances, Health + Wellness, Community, Career, and Spirituality.

What do you want more of in your life? The start of the year can be great for a reset, but I like to continually check in throughout the year. On the new moon, I like to write down a list: what do I want to accept? What do I want to release? On the full moon I reflect - have those things come to fruition? And if not, what can I adjust to get there? For me, I want to experience more joy, creativity, and freedom. I set my goals around these feelings.

There is nothing better than the peace a client feels when they walk into their new home and everything is already in its place. Moving can be incredibly stressful because there are so many moving parts, but it is so important to hit the ground running and get your home set up to your liking right away. Your home should be your safe place, and having systems and a logical place for everything from the start will make your new space feel like home in a jiff.
