Makeunder My Life

It’s never been a secret that I enjoy sharing other people’s approach to designing an intentional life. Hearing the variety of ways that others have created amazing and intentional lifestyles is one of my favorite aspects of MML. And while talking with Kendi, she pointed out that MML could benefit from a few new points of view.

And I couldn’t agree more.

So with that in mind, I’d like to introduce you today to the new MML Contributors. Cathy, Leah, Elizabeth, and Bryn are going to take turns each Thursday sharing the ways that they have designed specific aspects of their lives with intention. My hope is that this new series will allow you and I to become fired up to take these areas of our own lives to the next level as well.

While I spend my time primarily focusing on thinking with intention and business with intention, these lovely ladies are going to share their secrets and motivations that allow them to excel at finance, health, beauty, and home. Each contributor has designed her passion and career around one of these areas and in a realistic, intentional, and relatable way… which is exactly what MML is all about.

So feel free to read a bit more about each contributor below and read their intro posts throughout the week. From here on out, Thursdays on MML will be hosted by these contributors sharing tips and tools for us to grow more intentionally.

Meet Cathy of Fiscally Chic. While a Certified Public Accountant by day, she can be found moonlighting on her blog sharing tips to buying your first home, saving with her husband, and pointing out how much money we can save by spending more intentionally. And there are more than a few great recipes to try. (She specializes in baked goods.)

Leah Sipher-Mann of Your Nutritionista may be familiar from a few her past posts here on MML. She’s been around the diet track many times before and now has taken the challenges she faced and devoted her career to helping others break free from the same struggle. To do so, she has created her own nutrition consulting company is called Nutritionista Consulting. This allows her to help others eat and move more intentionally with customized plans and one-on-one consulting.

Elizabeth Dehn of Beauty Bets is a beauty editor and has been an industry maven for years. After working with Aveda, Keihls, and Target, she’s now launched her own line of beauty products called Elizabeth Dehn. Though beauty can often be a complicated subject (and in my opinion can sometimes lead to the opposite of a “makeunder”), Elizabeth has a decidedly intentional and simple perspective on what is really necessary in this category.

(PS- there is an exciting announcement coming up this week about a collaboration between Elizabeth Dehn Beauty and Jess LC… stay tuned.)

Bryn Dunn of Bryn Alexandra is no secret among the blog world. Her down to earth approach to interior design has garnered a devoted following – including myself. She has shared her intentions on MML before and she’s a great example of a Midnight Hustler turned full-time entrepreneur. Her approach to her client’s homes as well as her own is always spot on. She balances design and simplicity extremely intentionally.

So there you have it. The new MML contributors. Not only am I excited to share these ladies’ insights with you… I’m excited to learn from them myself!
