Home. Life. Work. Ease.
I’ll be honest, there’s something that’s been bugging me about this blog basically since I started it. Rosy Blu is a blog about home, and I know that to be true. It’s one of those things you just know because you feel it’s true. It’s about home. But I also like to talk about a lot of topics that have seemingly nothing to do with home. Like feelings and self
As I mentioned in last week’s nerdtastic book organizing post—I’m thrilled to be launching a new blog series in which I will review books I’ve read—and then give them away to one lucky reader when I’m finished! In part because I love to share the books I’ve loved myself; and in part because I sure don’t need to keep all the books I’ve read. If you’d like to recommend a
As I’ve mentioned, I’m working on an ebook. It’s called 101 Ways to Make Space, and it contains a series of experiments in changing your habits and refreshing your routines…so that you can have more space: in your home, in your schedule, in your brain and in your body. Today I want to talk about what I mean by “space in your body”, by sharing three simple, accessible things to do when you’re feeling…overwhelmed.
1. If you’ve talked to me over the last six months and asked me how I am, you may have heard me mention my biggest struggle since leaving my day job in August to become self-employed. I mentioned it in my post on Hey Eleanor about quitting, and I am pretty sure I’ve bored my family and friends to tears with it, because it feels like I have been banging my
So, I have lots of books. Lots and lots of books. Books are my number one splurge purchase on Amazon, and my largest collection. Thank goodness for libraries and paperbackswap.com, because if it weren’t for getting most of the books I read for free, I’d be bankrupt by now, I’m sure of it. A few weeks ago, I got an idea. It started as an organizing idea: I want to get
This post is part of a series called What’s for Dinner?, in which I invite my favorite bloggers, business owners and online personalities to share with you their own go-to recipes, the favorite meals, snacks, drinks they make over and over again. You’ll get to meet some of my online friends, and we’ll all get some new (fantastic) recipes to try! Today’s guest blogger is a not only a fellow
Mmmm….pi. Scholars and nerds across the planet know that Pi, (or π, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter) is 3.14159. It is only fitting that on 3-14-15 (tomorrow!) at 9 a.m., should be a cause for celebration. After all, what a wondrous world we live in, where the formula for our simplest geometric shape creates a number that goes on forever and ever without repeating? Our household will
That I only do half the time (to my own detriment) So, you know how I like to pack, right? My strategy for remembering everything without a list includes a mental rundown of all the exciting things I’ll be doing (and using and wearing) at each stage of my upcoming trip, and packing accordingly. It serves me well, and I rarely forget things these days. What I haven’t shared yet
Snapshot is a periodic series about what’s going on in my life right now—what I’m eating, reading, doing, loving, and my favorite links from around the web. It’s time for my annual artichoke. It shall be an appetizer to my glorious meal of homemade macaroni and cheese tonight (and if I can take a break to snap a picture of it, I might even share that recipe soon). I haven’t
You, my dear, are a sight to behold. If everybody else knew how much you give, how much you love, how beautiful your ideas and intentions are…they’d be flabbergasted. And you should be, too. Step back for a second, and take it all in. A creature like you deserves luxury and ease. A nourishing launchpad from which to start each day, and come home to each night. You deserve to
