EVERY MORNING ☀️ I do the five minute fluff. 

I do it because surrounding myself with beauty daily is a non negotiable for me. 

But I also do it because in Bali they practice space clearing which is a practice of bringing and then keeping the highest vibrating energy into your space. The high vibe life is also a non negotiable for me. I turn off electronics I'm not using. I take out trash. I light incense or burn a candle. And I feel connected and grounded into my souls passion and purpose. 

THE POWER OF BOLD (as fuck) FINISHES & FURNITURE

Choosing the materials and colors that create a real impact in your mood, and in your life is POWERFUL.

Never underestimate this power in shaping your mindset, your ideas, what you create, the businesses you build, the freedom you feel, the inner diva you express, the fun you have.

WHEN I JUST FUCKING OWN IT....

I make tons of money, people are dying to work with me and men can't stop staring at me.  

PROJECT ELIMINATE CLUTTER is in full effect. 

I'm always the one that my friends are like OMG when can you come over?! We're putting everything back since our kitchen remodel and everything is a mess.  

And for some reason I always say, I want to help you sort all that stuff out!

THE INNER HOUSEKEEPER inside of me just can't deal knowing someones house isn't in not only perfect working order but it also drop dead gorgeous in the process.  

You want THAT SEXY AF HOME now!
Feel good now
Show it off now
Everything becomes easier now
More fun now
Up-level your mindset now
Your whole family benefits now
More beauty now
ALWAYS MORE BEAUTY NOW.

I’m in the BEST MOOD!

Let me come over and re-arrange your living room! 
 

Seriously, your sofa is facing the wrong way; it’s blocking the flow of the room.  Open it up, flip everything around, and bring in more lamps with shades for that gorgeous ambient lighting.

What ever you do MAKE IT COOL. 

I just wrapped a BIG BIG meeting with developers and architects. And it's such an honor working with/for these clients who really appreciate that they need our design guidance and magic. 

MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE

I’ve heard from you that you’re not in your “dream home” yet. 

I’ve heard from you that you don’t like the way your room (bedroom, living, kitchen, bath, etc) is but you don’t know where to start and since you’re not in your dream home why bother doing anything. 

This utter defeat is not the attitude that my mom and I had when I was growing up.  We always made the most of what we had. 

I NEVER SAID I WAS A GOOD WRITER.  

I only said that I would show up everyday, that I would, as my EPIC FUCKING mentor Kat Loterzo, would say, share the message that I WANT TO SHAKE THE WORLD WITH.  

And that's what I'm doing.  

COOL RIGHT?  

I sure as shit think so.  

Damn it FEELS GOOD to be a GANGSTER...
But why does it feel so good??

I guess for me, I was pretty much always a really good kid, and I always wanted to avoid getting into trouble.

And now, don't get me wrong, I still like to be good, but there is need for me to feel like I can be bad too.

SHOPPING IS ALWAYS ALWAYS LAST!

If you haven’t heard me say this before, I’ll say it again now, YOU ALWAYS SHOP LAST, not first.

Got it?

So when you ask yourself to make an isolated decision before you’ve created a vision board for your space, and start trying to decide what that one specific thing in your room should look like, JUST STOP RIGHT THERE.

EUROPEANS KNOW HOW TO DECORATE,

Americans Don’t.

Look it’s true. This may be harsh to hear. But it’s true.

I learned this concept when I began my career as an interior designer almost 20 years ago. I remember a conversation with my mentor about how us designers would not be in as high demand if we lived in Eurore because they’re more inclinded to be creative with their homes then Americans. Her time spent at her second house in France made all of these really clear.

MOVE YOUR STUFF, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 

Every time I clean out a drawer. 

Every time I move out some old stuff I don't need. 

Every time I get rid of clothes I don't use. 

Every time I move around my furniture my life changes. 

MY MOOD CHANGES. 

YES IT'S MORNING TIME AGAIN.

YES IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND BE AN EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE VERSION OF YOURSELF THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY.

You want it all.

You wake up wanting more.

You wake up wanting to create more bliss, more bad ass, MORE.

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE HEARD THIS, along with defeat in their voice, has always broken my heart.  

I've heard this again and again and again during the 20 years I've worked in my industry as an interior designer, "you're work must be so fun!!  I wish I could have you over to my house!  But I could never afford you."

And I always want to shake them, to tell them, NO!   So much is possible!  

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL,

I don't know about you but I wake up every day wanting more. I want more in my love life, I want more in my business, I want more bliss in my mind, I want more for my home, I want more style tricks in my wardrobe.

I JUST WANT MORE.

Do you know what I mean?

WHEN I JUST OWN IT.

I think I've spent far too long not really owning me and what I'm doing in the world.

I've spent years not really owning that I'm a dancer, that I'm a designer. Or that I'm a change agent in the world.

And I know you see me. And have wanted me to simply see myself.  

I've spent the last 20 years working one-on-one with home owners. Helping them to create the home of their dreams. Helping them to create the coolest, most epic, hot, sexy home they deeply desire.

BUT THERE'S ONE BIG PROBLEM.

WHEN I FEEL LIKE THE DIVA-GODDESS-QUEEN-BITCH WHO WANTS IT ALL I HAVE A BETTER DAY

Every night when I lay down and my head hits the pillow, I’m going over the events of the day.

Did I make the impact I wanted to make today in my business and in my life?
Did I have all of the fun and freedom I was craving?

ALL YOU NEED IS TO LOOK UP TO SEE THAT THE SKY IS YOUR ONLY LIMIT.

It's a daily practice to simply look up and not down.

It's simple.

It's just a choice.

It's just a simple choice to decide what you focus on.

Overly simplistic?
