How to Style a Console Table

Knowing How to Style a Console Table can be a mystery. It's a blank slate and can be so fun! Console tables come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. They can be placed in a foyer, hallway, behind a couch, in a nook in your study/office or even in your bedroom. I look at them as little vignettes, spaces all to themselves to play with. Remember, less is more. Put a picture or a mirror on the wall behind it.  Circular mirrors are great   if your table is long and rectangular. You can either place it to one [...]

Favorite Paint Colors for 2022

Someone asked me today what are the paint colors for 2022? I much prefer to answer the question -what are my favorite paint colors for 2022? Well here they are and there is a story behind each one of them Sherwin-Williams Denim color palette: Why do I love this? Because I LOVE my jeans!

The Friday Fish Fry

I love the season of Lent for a whole host of reasons! Primarily, it symbols a season of renewal and the fact that spring is around the corner. Secondarily, I love the traditions around it! One of those being The Friday Fish Fry! lol. Buffalo is a town that is rich with culture and foods that have been passed down from prior generations. We have amazing home grown restaurants where you can get authentic foods from Italian, to Polish, Irish and most recently some great Vietnamese and Indian restaurants! I digress, we are talking about The Friday Fish Fry here. [...]

The Easter Season

Oh, how I love the Easter Season. It's such a sacred time for me. It represents a time of renewal and rebirth in nature, but it also signifies the same for those folks that have a Christian background. Christ has risen. A rebirth, a renewal of faith. A celebration of all that is sacred. It brings memories back of those times I spent in the Baptist church as a child.  Every Sunday (twice), every Wednesday, youth group meetings and special church outings. Those roots run deep in my soul despite my years of experiencing and exploring other faiths and my [...]

PeriMenopause, a new phase of life

Entering a new phase of life with PeriMenopause can be at the same time daunting and enlightening at the same time. For anyone experiencing symptoms of this, is probably looking at me with ten heads saying - are you kidding me right now? It's awful!  I totally get it! I have been through it myself. And I can tell you I didn't like it either and I fought it most of the way, until.. I found guidance and teachers to help me get through. All those symptoms, hot flashes, sleepless nights, sweating in places you are embarrassed to admit, weight [...]

Being Joyful even when the world is In Chaos

Being Joyful even when the world is in Chaos. Even that statement seems almost sacrilegious to say doesn't it? How can we by joyful when so many of our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine are suffering? Answer: It isn't easy. It isn't easy for any of us who are kind and caring souls. I had a rough couple of days last week, I found myself in a sea of sorrow, anger, grief, fear, confusion and a whole host of other emotions. I am certain I wasn't alone and I am sure there are many of us who are still [...]

Polish Nail Bar

I normally write posts with health and home information and inspirational thoughts. However , this post is about Polish Nail Bar in a little town called Clarence, NY. It's not far from me, maybe 20 -25 minutes. It's sort-of suburban/rural-ish. And is quite beautiful with miles of green pine trees and landscapes. There are also little vignettes of boutiques, salons and restaurants that are dotted around the area for folks to explore. Well, on one of my jaunts around town - I found this little gem! The Polish Nail Bar! You can find them on their website here: https://www.polishedwny.com/ It [...]

Be Curious

This was something I heard while listening to one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Gabby Bernstein. When you get a negative or fearful thought, "Be Curious."  Ask that thought what they want to teach you, what are you nagging me about? What do I do with you? - hahaha, that was my add-lib!. We often get stuck in our negative thinking loops and fear thoughts, oh my god, especially these last two years! How do we get rid of them and shut the door forever, one of Gabby's students asked. And she replied - "Be Curious." I thought that was [...]
