Unapologetically vain
“Hey, do you have any resolutions for this year?” “Yes, I plan to be more vain.” There were two responses to my answer. The first was questioning all the time I’d be spending in the mirror. The other was thoughts of all the makeup and fashion that would be entering my life. My real reasoning…

Day one
My gym app records how many visits I’ve had per week. It is depressing. Let’s not review the data. Now on January 1, like so many other people, I’m eager to commit to going more regularly. I will be a part of the New Year, New Me crowd. Years ago, I used to go the…

I fell today
Yesterday, I fell down. Truthfully, a hook got caught on the bottom loop of my shoe lacing pattern and dragged me to the ground. Today, I told someone that the path was way too slippery today on account of the rain, and then I proceeded to go down it. And of course, I slipped and…

If you’re feeling eclectic, stop here in Asheville
You like things that you friends lovingly refer to as “different.” But you don’t care, you like standing out. You like getting your hands on pieces that others can’t even begin to think of styling and furniture pieces from a time gone by. And it is even better if no one else can find those…
