beauty with intention: gift to self, just say no

1. December 2011

Gift to Self: Just Say NO Every year, I tell myself that THIS is going to be the holiday season I slow down and soak up. That is, actually enjoy the best parts: family, friends, trimming the tree, even cookie exchanges. And every year I find myself Googling “gifts for one-year-olds” over my lunch break, [...]

health with intention: foods you are just not that into

17. November 2011

Health with Intention: Foods You’re Just Not That Into [Exercise] You know how sometimes you “forget” that you don’t really like a food when you’re hungry? Or when that food is right in front of you? I’ve found that a lot of people (myself included) don’t really know which foods they’re just not that into. [...]

finance with intention: changing jobs

10. November 2011

Hi, MML! It’s Cathy of Fiscally Chic. Last time I was here, I talked about my inner battle between epic and enough. Since then, I decided to go with “epic.” More specifically, I started a new job! It’s scary and exciting. While I’ll still be working in accounting, the position is a bit new for [...]

design a home with intention: how to shop Home Goods

3. November 2011

How to Shop Home Goods It’s hard-pressed to find someone who isn’t a fan of Home Goods. When I first started my decorating business, Home Goods was my go-to shop for accessories because it was so convenient and inexpensive. But even now that I have access to trade vendors, I still find myself going to [...]

Epic vs. Enough Hi MML, it’s Cathy from Fiscally Chic with another post about finance with intention.

beauty with intention: fall skincare 101

15. September 2011

Fall Skincare 101 Fall is such time of transition—and I love it. Leaves are turning, closets are turning over, and our skin is, well, about to turn as dry as those leaves crunching underfoot. Now is the time to switch up your skincare regimen, because it will be much more challenging to soothe redness, flaking, [...]

food with intention: the art of the one-dish meal

8. September 2011

The Art of the One-Dish Meal I think there are a few things about cooking that intimidate people, but I’d guess one of the main things is the idea of putting together a meal. I get why it’s intimidating: you have to figure out what goes with what, find recipes for each dish, and then [...]

finance with intention: business budgets

1. September 2011

Hi, everyone! It’s Cathy from Fiscally Chic with another post about “finance with intention.” I’ve decided to alternate between personal finance and business finance, with this month covering business finance.

home with intention: making the most of what you have

25. August 2011

Making the most with what you have There were quite a few design bloggers who watched and wrote about the show ‘Million Dollar Decorators’. I watched one episode but never got around to watching the entire season. The reason I am bringing this show up is because I really wonder how well “million dollar decorators” [...]

beauty with intention: the best unlaid plans

18. August 2011

The Best Unlaid Plans When I started my blog, Beauty Bets, it was as a creative outlet from my day job as a magazine editor. I had NO IDEA that it would lead to me quitting to become a freelancer, and I certainly had no intentions of starting a product line. That wasn’t even a [...]

health with intention: real food

11. August 2011

Makeunder Your Diet with Real Food Without a doubt, the crucial foundation of a healthy, satisfying, and delicious diet is real food. You’ve probably heard that before. But what exactly is real food? Some people define it as unprocessed food, which is a good place to start, but I don’t think it tells the whole story. [...]
