In between the dress fittings and guest list building, invitations and the cutesy save the dates almost always get swept to the side because of the nitty gritty details they entail. My fiancée and I found an amazing way to recreate this huge project, aka our wedding, together and share the efforts.

“Are you ready to live your best life?” I remember the day, the time, the second he asked me that. At the time, I had zero idea what in the world he meant. Everyone says weird things all the time. This could just be “one of those”. I never really get to talk about my relationship with Varick or highlight the emotions behind a post I’d upload on us. So here goes.

If you check your horoscope daily, there’s a good chance you align majority of your life’s knick knacks according to the stars as well. I mean, I’ve always wondered why I’m only attracted to similar notes in a scent and it’s always almost similar each time. Check out what scent your sign correlates with. Tocca for the Taurus and The Aries For the fire starters and the thrill seekers, the warm spicy notes meshed with a sharp masculine base attracts you the most.   The Matcha for the Cancer and Gemini For the thinkers, the insiders and the influencers, they seek refreshing notes like green cognac mixed with soft clean bases and citruses with white flowers. This one’s for you. Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf for the Virgo and Leo For the creative, the expressionist, the “I will”, The Flowerbomb’s explosion of the most alluring flowers sprinkled with patchouli and vanilla, this everfeminine scent captures these creatives the most. Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent for the Scorpio and Libra For the craftsman, the peacemaker, the “I balance”, this luxurious mix of red berries and pear that exude sensual feminism immediately captures these gentle creatures. Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel for the Sagittarius and Capricorn To channel this nomadic, adventurous, master sign, look for a grasse jasmine and may rose mix with the slightest hint of vetiver. Blanche by Byredo for the Aquarius and Pisces For the artist, the philosopher, the mobilizer, the “I knows”, they typically get attracted to notes of white rose heart, pink pepper and aldehyde with a musk base for the perfect fresh and clean smell.

When you’re juggling a company, a full time second shift at home running a household, raising a puppy and in charge of a handful of employees, you know there are days where you just wanna hit snooze and just … not. I know because I’ve been there. But what really get’s done when you brush things off? Here’s how to not: Organize, organize, organize – Organize your time like you organize your clothes in color coordinated ways. Allot six hours to your brand, two hours for household duties, forty-five minutes for your pup and always save an hour for yourself and help you find clearer focus. It’s okay to take a step back – This never means you hit that snooze. This means you are taking it on a slower pace. Slower never means  stop. It means going but more carefully. Not a bad thing, promise. Ask for help when needed – Not a weakness my friends. It’s a strength mostly overlooked as such. We are so caught up trying to be hands on with everything in our lives that we forget to be human. To breathe. To recharge. To relax. For one minute. For one sec. Hire someone to help you run your brand, or clean up a little over at your little humble abode. You’re investing to spend on someone else to lend a helping hand or two, you’ll be surprised how much you’ll get done without overly stressing yourself. When the tough gets going, get tougher. Getting tougher never means doing things by yourself. It only means being smarter. Good luck and go get it.

Invest in skincare before you invest in makeup. Never wait untilt he weekend to live and enjoy your life. Go to your favorite coffee shop after school. call your friend, bake cookies on a Wednesday afternoon, dance around in your underwear. Your life is yours to live and you shouldn’t put it on hold because of work or school. Push yourself to get up before the rest of the world- start with 7 am, then 6 am then 5:30 am to go to the nearest hill with a big coat and watch the sunrise. Get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. Fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. SIt and eat it and do nothing else. Push yourseld to go for a walk. Take your headphones , go to the beach and walk. SMile at the strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. Bring your dog and observe the dog’s behavior. Realize how much you can learn from your pet. Become the person you would ideally fall in love with. Let cars merge into your lane when driving. Pay double for metered parking and leave the second one in the machine. Stick your tongue out at babies. Compliment people on their cute clothes. Challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. Then two. Then a week. Eye contact and good posture go a long way. Take up all the space when you walk into one. Let them feel your presence. You are someone they need to turn around and see, hear, feel. Be the person who pours that much love into yourself as much as you do for anyone else. Know the power of your own light because every person you come in contact with flourishes, so it’s time for you to come into contact with yourself. Don’t follow men or trends or other women. Stop, sit and close your eyes and listen. Really listen to what you want. Then follow that. Doing what you love will never lead you to stray.  It is none of your business what people think of you. Live your life in a way where it feels right to you. Being likes isn’t the point anyone. Being able to like yourself is. Real is rare. Be one.…
