comment replies

10. March 2010

As those of you who regularly comment on MML know, I do my best to answer each comment I get personally via email. I do this for a two reasons: I am not good at going back into the comments on each specific post and responding there. So this technique is slightly faster for me as [...]

off the chain: new photoshoot sneak peek

8. March 2010

Good morning! First, I want to mention that last week’s end of the week exfoliation will go up later today along with the February “Giveaway Giveaway” winner. After the insanely fun and exhausting photoshoot last Friday, I did a lot of relaxing and walking outside this weekend. It was a much needed break to re-energize. That [...]

chicago city print

3. March 2010

First, let me say this post is looong overdue. I actually got these awesome Chicago city prints by Karen at Studio K months ago. If there is one thing I’m good at, it’s procrastinating about buying frames for artwork. So please be assured that there are three other prints still sitting in my closet patiently [...]

introducing: makeunder my march!

2. March 2010

Today I’m excited to introduce a new series I’d like to create this month in honor of spring cleaning, making under, and authenticity. It’s called MakeunderMyMarch. I’ve been thinking a lot about the re-posts I made last week and I realized that it might be time to revisit the nuts and bolts of making under. [...]

my bedroom photos

1. March 2010

And last but not least, here are the photos Becki Shleis took of my bedroom and bathroom. These rooms are the most unfinished of the whole apartment. I’m trying to be patient and take my time collecting the pieces for these spaces. Ideally, I’d like to get more artwork hung in the bathroom and get two [...]

my studio photos

1. March 2010

As mentioned in the living room and kitchen post, my friend and photographer Becki Schleis asked to photograph my apartment for her portfolio. Here are the pictures of the studio- so cute! If you need a photographer for your apartment I would definitely call Becki if you live in Chicago. (By the way, here is the [...]

my apartment: living room and kitchen

1. March 2010

Though I’ve shown some pictures of my apartment in the past (photographed by yours truly), my friend and photographer Becki Schleis asked to take some photos for her portfolio. And boy, is she a wonder woman! Not only are the pictures beautiful, but she has the uncanny ability to make my apartment look 100 times [...]

the biggest leaps when going full-time

23. February 2010

[originally posted April, 7th 2009] Since I got such great responses from the business pieces I have posted, I will continue with this question from last week. What are the biggest leaps you have taken in starting your own business? This is a great question and the answer varies for each business owner. When I speak with someone [...]

why i’m here on earth

23. February 2010

[originally posted on November, 3rd 2009] Have you ever noticed that a title of a certain book reappears throughout your life in things you read and hear? This has happened to me with two books, The Alchemist (a great book) and A Return to Love. Right now I am deep within Marianne Williamson’s A Return to [...]

why i started this blog

23. February 2010

[originally posted October, 14th 2009] A few weeks ago I realized that I haven’t ever clearly explained why I started MakeunderMyLife. People have asked me about it in person, but I’ve never taken the time to share the background here. Which is a pretty sad reality, considering that you might be interested to know. Planting the Seed In [...]
