  • Learn Where Style Starts From with Wardrobe Consultant
    New Year, Same Style? We can blame 2020 for a lot of things, and between pandemic and that at home/mom life, we’ve spent A LOT of time at home in sweats🤷‍♀️ A lot of us may feel like “style” isn’t even in our vocabulary, let alone our wardrobes! In this episode, we are joined by - Holly Chayes, Style and Wardrobe Consultant - to talk about how style starts from where you are… and how to ditch the mom uniform (or keep it if it really makes you feel amazing) 👏Holly chats with us about the importance of giving yourself those 3 minutes in the morning to get dressed, and how our clothing can mean so much more than just the thing we throw on our bodies. She shares how to find inspiration within our wardrobes, and how to go about a total wardrobe overhaul the responsible way! We learned so much in this episode including 3 items everyone should have in their closets, the biggest fashion mistakes women can make, and how to start being intentional to make your clothing work for you 🙌
    So, tune in, and then go take a look at your closet! How does your clothing make you feel? Hopefully as great as this episode 😉

  • BLAB How to Goal Set During a Pandemic
    Can you believe 2020 is wrapping up? It’s hard to believe it is the end of the year, and the thought of goal setting seems so foreign for the “new normal”. But, just because we may not know what is going to happen tomorrow, that doesn’t mean we can’t take some time and plan some goals that fit into our new lifestyles. The key here is being realistic and flexible! Here are some tips on how to start planning for 2021, because we have ALL had enough of 2020! 👋 ✔️Be realistic and flexible
    ✔️Have a backup plan
    ✔️Focus your goals on what you can control
    ✔️Keep your mind open to the possibility that your goals may not be achieved at all… and that’s ok
    ✔️Don’t compare your goals to anyone else’s
    ✔️Break it down
    ✔️Grow your mind
    ✔️Review your priorities
