Hyper-organized and hopeful — I’m surrounded by seven Post-It notes filled with lists, and dag-nabbit, all this stuff is gonna get done some how, some way.
1) The weird, quirky writing on Woot!. 2) Projects like Operation Beautiful that use the interwebz to spread a positive message. 3) Piet Mondrian.

I’m not afraid of what the beefy gym rats refer to as “the heavy lifting.” Even if something seems intimidating, I’ll jump in and find a way to get it done.
D&G Rose the One (LOVE!) Eau de Parfum.
Hmm, 10 years ago I was 24, and since then I’ve changed in both positive and not-so-positive ways. Nowadays, I’m less afraid to tell people “No.” I also feel emotionally steadier and less volatile than I did back then. On the flip side, I’ve become more set in my ways — it’s definitely more of a challenge for me to deal with change now than it used to be.
Diva Bootcut Jeans from Old Navy (sooo comfy and affordable), brown cardigan sweater, dark purple tank top and brown peep-toe heels.
Keep my work life organized, deal with at least one moving box a day, avoid the temptation to cover my desk in clutter and exercise at least twice.
Hey, bootcut divas! 🙂 Happy Monday! It’s raining out here in Marin County, and even though it’s gray and gloomy outside, I’m feeling sunshiny on the inside.
I think a big part of it is this article I read yesterday on how to overcome burnout and stay motivated.
If you’ve been feeling run down or find yourself struggling with school/work, maybe give it a read.
Last night I took some time to process and really think about the tips and tricks from the article, and today I’m feeling very hopeful about the week to come.
Well, it looks like there’s a break in the storm, so I’m heading outside for a quick walk.
If you’ve got a little time to spare, can you take a moment to check in? I’d love to hear what’s going on in your neck of the woods.

Ann says
I saw that you listed D&G Rose The One and I’m definitely interested in it. Light Blue is my HG; I pretty much wear it every day. I absolutely hate perfumes that are too overpowering or overwhelmingly sweet. I know it sounds a little weird but do you think I’d like Rose The One? I’m interested in getting it in the Sephora F&F sale so I’d have to get it blind (or the blind version for smell) and I can’t seem to find any useful reviews online. Here are a few other perfumes I like for reference: Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche, MAC Naked Honey, Lancome Benghal (was a limited ed release). Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. I’d really appreciate it!
Karen says
Hi Ann,
It sounds like we have very similar perfume tastes. I actually wore D&G Light Blue on my wedding day, and I LOVE Chance Eau Fraiche and Naked Honey.
As for Rose The One, I have a feeling you’ll like it. The scent is very light and not overwhelming at all. You know how some rose scents can be heavy? This one isn’t. It also has crisp notes (I smell apple) that keep it fresh. Let me know if you have any other questions!

6. What’s one quality you like about yourself? I am loyal to an extreme when it comes to friends and family!
7. Fragrance? None today, but I’m really liking coconut and vanilla essential oils.
8. Name three ways you’ve changed in the last 10 years. I became a mother, twice. I’ve calmed down a whole heck of a lot. I’m not as scared as I was when I was 24, I’m not afraid of the consequences if I make a mistake like I was 10 years ago.
9. Outfit? Again, I went to the gym. Pink yoga pants, black tank, socks and sneaks. I’m hoping that if I stay dressed this way, it will remind me to do some walking this afternoon.
10. Weekly goals: Gym every day! Try to be a little more patient with the kids, find some tasty recipes to make that won’t break the bank and won’t make my butt grow!
Karen says
Hi Stef,
If you find any tasty, non-butt growing recipes please share. I’m looking to get back into fighting shape and would love a few new dishes. If I find any I’ll post ’em up, too. 🙂

I don’t look pretty crying either. I tend to go very very pale with really red cheeks and eyes. I get headaches from crying too! Must. Not. CRY.
