Having a happy workspace is so important. I could not handle walking into an uninviting, cold room I hated for work. I admire this Lonny Mag workspace. Having two desks back-to-back already makes it more inviting and less lonely!

Genuinely,

Everyone needs a little emotional pick-me-up every once in a while. Sometimes I write little inspirational quotes down in my "Stickies" App on my computer or sometimes I'll purposely buy something that will endure as a long term reminder for something good every time I see it.
I like to call these, purchases with purpose.

I. Dogeared loves to spread positive energy into the world with their personal gifts. This Karma bracelet is their best seller. This bracelet believes what goes around, comes around...wear your bracelet as a reminder to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. 

II. This Juliska tray is one out of a series of cornerstone tray's. This one is the courage dish. The lion stands as a reminder to be courageous every day. The tray was made with the purpose to uplift the mind as well as the eye. Each dish in the collection celebrates "the cornerstone values of life well lived."

III. This map is a scratch off map. Scratch off where you've traveled to. Hang it in your home to remind you of all the wonderful places you've been, but also let it remind you of all the places you have yet to go.

IV. Philosophy's Be Somebody shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath comes with this philosophy written on the bottle: "If you want to be somebody, look within. You are a vibrant being full of promise. You are transformed through acts of purity and grace for the sake of others. Stay rooted in your connection to all things. Float above opposition with positive energy. Feel your soul blossom with goodness and compassion. What you give eventually comes back to you. You can never be too good. Let your beauty unfold. You are somebody." Isn't that a nice pick-me-up every time you shower?

Genuinely,

This year I also made a resolution to try some new hair styles. I think my hair is only ever three things, 1. straight and down, 2. attempted curls that fall out, or 3. the infamous top knot [help me break free, it's become such a lazy habit]. Here's some new hair styles i'm forcing myself to try and hopefully like.
It's been said that your hair do is your cheapest accessory.
New year, new hair.

Now all I need is time to practice. Time is something I don't have much of these days!
Have you tried any new hair styles lately?

Genuinely,
