Elegant Vanity

An elegant vanity can add a touch of class to your home. Whether you convert a simple desk or have a built-in area, a vanity adds a romantic feeling to your bedroom or bath. Can't you picture Audrey Hepburn applying her makeup in front of one? So bring on the glamour with an elegant vanity!

In Love with My Home

Are you in love with your home? Whether you live in a mansion or a tiny apartment, being in love with your home is really about the little things.  Good books, soft blankets, fresh flowers, glowing candles...
Loving your home is at the root of one of my favorite books, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo. In a nutshell, it's a guide to decluttering but it's also a manual for loving your home. You basically decide which items "spark joy" and throw away the rest. You clear the clutter, calm your mind and love your home...

Workout Motivation

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." It's a great phrase for anyone working on their fitness. And for many, a prime motivator is new workout wear. Personally, I've loved wearing the adidas line for many years. The pieces are good-looking and comfortable whether I'm walking, playing tennis or doing yoga. And their new collection includes stylish pieces for a wide variety of sports. Check out the adidas line at adidas.com - and keep looking good, even while you're sweating :)
