makeunder my new apartment: steps two and three

17. August 2010

Today I’m back to share steps two and three of the makeunder I’m doing for my new apartment. I shared step one, create a vision, last week. Here’s how I’m using the makeunder process for the next two phases: Due to the nature of this transition and makeunder (moving out of a two bedroom apartment [...]

makeunder my new apartment: step one

11. August 2010

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time here on MML talking about business, purpose, and taking actions because that’s what I’ve been focusing on myself this summer. However, there is another important aspect of MML that hasn’t gotten as much attention: simplifying and tailoring our spaces to reflect our visions. But, since I’m going [...]

new MML challenge: summer (home) slim down

3. June 2010

Bikini season is upon us! … Scared yet? No need to worry. Though I’m not itching to jump into my two piece and strut my stuff on the beach, I have a way we all can feel lighter, freer, and (maybe) even sexier. And it doesn’t involve skipping one glass of pinot grigio or ice [...]

the final end of the week exfoliation (for now)

29. May 2010

Okay, confession time: for some reason or another, my enthusiasm has been waning on the End of the Week Exfoliation posts for about a month or so. I thought it was just me being lazy (it can take me about 40 minutes to re-size the submission photos, upload comments, and add links for these posts). [...]

how you can help me

26. May 2010

First, I’ll state the obvious: Yes, my face looks more than a bit strange in that shot. Gotta love web video screen selection, right? What might be less obvious is what this video is for. Yesterday I found out from a friend that Oprah’s new network, OWN, is hosting a tv show which is giving [...]

last week’s “end of the week exfoliation”

17. May 2010

Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend. The past few weekends I’ve decided to treat my days off like mini vacations and I have to say, I’ve been loving it. And since I’ve had trouble finishing the end of the week exfoliation post during the actual week, I’m a bit behind again. But [...]

(last week’s) end of the week exfoliation

3. May 2010

Whew. I feel like I’ve been caught up in a tornado of activity and I’m just getting spit out of the busy vortex in the past few hours. But I better not get comfortable, there is a lot to accomplish this week (including a trunk show at Macy’s on Thursday/Friday, finishing a bunch of orders [...]

What a great title. This article I stumbled upon by Martha Beck is pretty darn amazing. Read Martha Beck’s article, What’s Really Going On In Your Life?

ann’s reflection on her “designed life”

26. April 2010

A few weeks ago, MML reader, Ann of the blog Glamourshoes sent me a great email explaining how she has done such a wonderful job “designing her life” by pursuing a variety of passions throughout the past twenty years. But she is now at a new crossroads: life after raising three awesome children. From the [...]

end of the week exfoliation

25. April 2010

What a quiet weekend it’s been. With the rainy, gloomy weather, Erwin and I stayed inside most of the weekend. We ordered in pizza last night and today he’s at the Bulls/Cavs game with a friend. Which leaves me with a Sunday afternoon all to myself. I think the next few hours might just include [...]

end of the week exfoliation

18. April 2010

What a great weekend. Lots of relaxing, eating (at the new Nella’s in Lincoln Park on Clark – so good!), walking, and shopping. I hope you had a good few days of rest as well. I’ve also been playing around with my new hair cut which was pretty dramatic (you can see a pic below [...]
