It’s tricky cuz each item has it’s own aesthetic style. Fashion designers are excellent at this 🎯the secret is remembering that
➡️ Versatility stems from vision - this is why on runways a fashion designer can have a collection with lots of diverse outfits BUT what brings them together is the overarching vision - the designer’s aesthetic style and their theme/story for that specific collection. 📸 So how do you apply this when choosing outfits at home? Rather than follow a set list of style rules ❌ Use your aesthetic style as an overarching tool to tie together diverse items in a way that feels personal to you. 🙌🏽💗 If you’re new here, aesthetic style is a unique combination of design elements & principles (E&P) that consistently attract us. Whether it's a living room, nature landscape, or a coffee mug if it has your unique E&P combination in it, it will STAND OUT more to you. When you start using your aesthetic style intentionally it becomes an amazing tool to style, edit and curate with sustainably! Want to learn how to find your aesthetic style? Click here to read more.

It’s hard to love the home you live in when cleaning feels never ending… Taking time to pause and enjoy the area (even if it’s just a corner!) that’s been newly cleaned is important! Drink a tea, smell the roses, snap a photo…whatever helps you savor that moment just a little 😚
It can feel like being on a hamster wheel cuz we don’t pause enough. We clean one area and jump to the next one while we still have energy and time. But taking a break really helps us appreciate our hard work and the home we have. Honestly it can feel like a losing battle because yes there’s always more we could be doing…but ironically focusing on that drains the energy we need. 😱 I noticed this guilt cycle in myself and it’s a big reason why I created the YAS Method - specifically the Aesthetic Style Quiz. It’s a simple visual way to shift focus away from all the ‘shoulds and don’ts’ and focus on the intuitive sense of style that we all have and are already using, often unconsciously. Tapping into your creativity is a much more inspiring way to get energy and also keep you motivated to make home a place you truly love and that reflects you. 💗 If you’re new here, aesthetic style is a unique combination of design elements & principles (E&P) that consistently attract us.

It's been awhile since I created a blog post - mainly due to writer's block! However, I started going through past live streams for content ideas and found this gem:3 Tips for a Happier Home
The very first tip is 'Start with Gratitude' - appreciating what you already have in your home rather than what you don't have. Unfortunately, the latter thought, what we're lacking in our homes tends to dominate because it's so easy to look around our homes and fixate on what we don't like. "I'd love my kitchen more if the counters didn't get so cluttered with stuff!" OR "My entry could be such a pretty space but I never have time to do anything with it!" Repeating these phrases over and over about our home creates a thought pattern: "If this _____________ was _____________ then I'd feel happier about my home." When in actuality it's this very thought pattern that blocks us from feeling happy about our homes by associating our home with more negative feelings than positive ones. One way to shift away from that is thought pattern is to pay more attention to the areas of your home that you love. Take time to observe some FAVORITE areas of your home. Reflect on what you appreciate about those and how you can enhance them even more. For example, if it's a favorite window maybe you can add a nice chair or decorative pillow by the window to draw your attention even more to it. Start with gratitude and see where it leads you!

PERSONAL BRANDING CAN SEEM LIKE A FUZZY CLOUD IN THE SKY—AMBIGUOUS, HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS, AND BEYOND YOUR REACH. IT’S NOT EXACTLY A PHYSICAL PRODUCT THAT YOU CAN EASILY TOUCH, DESCRIBE, OR GIVE TO SOMEONE. Instead, it is something much deeper. It is an entire experience—a journey that you create for your audience—that represents what you are all about. To begin building a personal brand, or to refine the one you have already created for yourself, it is important to understand the building blocks that create a clear, consistent, and visually appealing brand. Most of all, it is critical that, as you evolve (because you’re a human being and growth is natural in your human journey), you develop a brand that can evolve right along with you and still communicate to others what you are all about at this point in your life. Let’s talk about the 4 V’s, the main building blocks of a clear personal brand, to help you get started. 1. VOICE: The words you use to talk about your brand....continue reading. |
