Visiting Helsinki

Places to visit in Helsinki Finland Raise your hand if you miss traveling! ✋ This was from my second visit to Helsinki, where my sweet hubs met up with me for an adventure.  Although one of the major draws to traveling so far North is to try to catch some glimpses of the Northern Lights in Lapland, the weather had other plans for us. We decided to opt out of the hunt once we discovered the visibility had been poor and those lovely overcast skys would be working against us. Tap the video and see how we still managed to make good use of our time, including visiting some local restaurants that came recommended to us, spontaneous day trips, and coffee shops galore! Comment if you have places you'd like to assign me to try next time around!

⇊ How to pack less and get more ⇊ Okay guys, so I think we can all agree that traveling is a lot of fun, but getting there can be a pain, and even worse...the PACKING! Ughhh Well, guess what, you're in luck! Today I'm gonna break down all of my little travel hacks, including some of my go-tos that has me fully packed for a 5 day getaway all in my little carry-on! That's right, I said carry-on. Why? Due to the amount of connecting flights these days...and don't even get me started on International flights, the chances of your luggage arriving safely (or at all) run a much higher risk anymore. Trust me, I've been there, and it's not fun...lots of forms, extra time in a dingy airport, and of course no clothing or toiletries for the rest of the week. Before I dive into this, lets talk about what you have on your physical body, since this will have a lot to do with what, or what's not going into that bag. What to wear 1. Comfortable...

How to Create Balance

 ↡ FINDING BALANCE ↡ Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your own schedule wishing you had more balance in your life? How about simply just finding time for the things you want to create time for?  I often hear people saying, "You have to give something up to get balance." I'm gonna throw a curve ball and say the opposite actually...how about just one concept, one way of tweaking the brain toward finding fulfillment in what BALANCE means to you. The minute I switched my brain to leading with intention and purpose, was a pivotal moment for me. I remember being a newer stylist, sitting around and waiting for the busy bus to roll in. I sat around sulking, so wrapped in my thoughts about not being busy, that I kept myself BUSY with what I felt I didn't have...balance. I decided at that very moment...if I was going to spend time away from my kids, hobbies, cooking, hiking, being with friends, I would have to adjust something...and I'll give you a h...

⇟Cropped jeans, 3 ways⇟ Don't you get frustrated when you can't find the right pants to complete your outfit?! In this post I am going to be sharing with you some of my time saving tips on changing your look with the same pair of cropped jeans...after all, you want to make it worth your while if you're going to be taking it home, right?! LOOK #1 Sporty Spice For this look you can see I am rocking all muted, solid tones. This outfit is designed for the "I'm actually running a ton of errands, didn't have time to complete hair & makeup, don't talk to me look". One of the biggest deciding factors for this outfit to feel sporty, yet look like a complete outfit is by following my rule of 3 (which I'll explain in a little bit). Until then, here's a little break down! 1. Basic linen tank 2. Velour jacket and hat 3. Wire rimmed glasses 4. Sporty sneakers 5. My guest of honor...Poke-A-Doted cropped jeans.

How To Get More Sleep

⇟Sleep on it⇟ Do you suffer from lack of sleep like me? I'm just gonna come right out and say it...I'm not perfect. I suffer from sleep deprivation and at times its no laughing matter. So what is the solution to getting better sleep? Since I've tried almost everything under the moon, I feel like this blog is mostly to hold ME accountable and YOU to be entertained by some of my ridiculous conclusions. I know you're probably gonna think I'm nuts, but this is how I come up with most if my new ideas. Seriously...like 99.9% of what keeps me up at night is due to brainstorming my next reincarnation so to speak. Do you want to know what percentage I actually put to use? About .01%. This is the part where I'm almost laughing and crying on the inside. My sleep is equivalent to Goofy's swimming...you know, the part where he is spastically flailing his limbs around in the water, but getting nowhere? Yep. Just one looooong run-on daydream. Are you ready to le...

I'm talking about procrastination...which I have Mastered throughout the years.  Why do we procrastinate?  It's the world we've created, partake in, and thrive off of...think about it. I have not only learned to develop, but now thrive when I wait till the last minute to create.  Now I am no expert and this is all an observation through years of stress, late nights, self-pity, and YEP...procrastination.  Sooooo....now comes the time to prepare yourself to NOT procrastinate. Lets jot things down in list form to keep it simple! 1. Create space to plan. Make a commitment you cant refuse by setting a reoccurring event for yourself alone! Hey, I didn't say this would be easy, but common we are all given the same amount of time every day. Make this a priority and set your ongoing date, say once a week, to quietly slip away fo...
