2016 Intentions - Me Made Garnments 

2016 Intentions – Me Made Garnments 

Being a hand crafter at heart, it’s a wonder my entire wardrobe isn’t me made yet. A little over a year ago, I really became aware of the slow fashion movement and knew that my goal was to transition to an entirely “me made wardrobe”. Having a capsule really helps me transition into this lifestyle by intentionally choosing what clothing comes and goes from my closet. My goal this year is to make…

2016 Intentions- Book Goals

Every year I set myself a “Reading Goal” where I tell myself I’m going to read an outrageous number of books this year. When I started this goal setting I think I set my goal at 50 books. My rationale was “A book a week, with 2 weeks off? Done”. Except I didn’t make it anywhere near that goal (I still claim it was because I was in University at the time, but let’s be serious. I was just over…

2016 Intentions

happy new year! I absolutely love the New Year. It’s a great reason to get your act together and try all those things you’ve been meaning to do. Of course you can start exercising more September 18th, but something about doing something for a whole year feels special. Something about saying “all of 2016 I was committed to living more consciously” feels really great. That’s not to say if you fall…

December 15 Roundup

WHERE DID DECEMBER GO?! Looking back at the blog over the past month, you can tell we were super busy offline. So here is what we were up to :) DIYpsi: We did an Indie Art Show! My town holds “DIYpsi” twice a year, and we have been lucky enough to participate both times in 2015. Not only was it a ton of fun to meet all my local TN lovers, but I also got to ogle some amazing local and regional…

Capsule Wardrobes: 101

At some point last spring I realized I didn’t consistently feel good in my wardrobe. Sure I had a go to few items, but I spent an insane amount of time getting ready some work days. Time that I could have been sleeping, or enjoying a cup of coffee, or taking the dog for a walk. But honestly, time that I could have been sleeping :) So, often I would end up buying something new and trying to…

TN Tuesday 12.29- The Bullet Journal

TN Tuesday 12.29- The Bullet Journal

How do you stay organized? For a long while I floated through different notebooks and systems, feeling both constricted and lost at the same time. Because sometimes I had a note I wanted to write down, but it didn’t quite fit in with the rest of my journal. And I for sure couldn’t put it in my planner, because that was separated down to the hour. And what am I doing with three different…

Hobo Wishes

Remember when I said Kate and I were probably not going to be Hobo Twins for long? We are already eyeing all of our Hobo cover wishes :) I think we are both pretty solid in using an A6 planner only, but seriously how does one choose when there are so many gorgeous covers out there? We wanted to share the covers we are keeping on our radar with you and of course are super excited to hear your…

La Papierre Stationary Subscription Service Unboxing- November 15

La Papierre Stationary Subscription Service Unboxing- November 15

While searching for the perfect stationary for pal writing, I found a lot of cards were available. Which is super great, because sometimes you want to send special little notes, or you want to mark an occasion. But sometimes you want to write four pages of nonsense and really tiny cards don’t cut it. Of course you can use plain ass paper, but why would you do that when you know there is something…

TN Tuesday 12.1- Artist Spotlight on ZenKraft

It’s probably no secret that I have my favorite makers here at Foxtail Threads. This is due mostly to good old trial and error of ordering notebooks, but also includes things like “customer service”, exposure, other people’s reviews, and availability. One of my favorite Traveler’s Notebook “brands” is Zenkraft (remember this unboxing?) As I’ve talked about before, Yochanan of ZenKraft is…
