Remember when your biggest concern was what cartoon to watch or whether you should save the marshmallows in your Lucky Charms for the last bite? Life can still be like that. To undertake the challenge of living like a kid, you must do it on a weekend (whatever your weekend may be… my "weekend" is typically on a Wednesday, as my events business keeps me busy on the weekend) because you are NOT ...

MIXED METALS
I had yet another day in which I was a child again. This time, my childhood prerogative was avoidance... Avoiding responsibility, reality, and all things that may require heavy thought. I threw on my modern day coat of armor (a quilted leather jacket with chain detailing) and covered myself in silver and rose gold accents (I'm all for mixed metals).

I was ready to go out to dinner and drinks with the crew... but for some reason, I didn't feel the presence of my typical fashion forward instinct dictating the choice of my outfit. My instinct at the moment (likely fueled by incessant work obligations and an unbelievably full schedule) was telling me to ... Read the Post
ADVICE FROM DAD – “IT’S YOUR LIFE, TOO”

This was due to the fact that I decided to talk about everything and nothing while he was watching a Chicago crime drama on television. When his turning up of the volume didn’t stop me from continuing, he hit pause (ah, the wonders of modern television… and ... Read the Post
