Breathe in Gratitude

Breathe in Gratitude

On this Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to post a reminder about the beauty of gratitude.

When my mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, I started taking regular yoga classes to help with my stress and anxiety.  I found a little yoga studio in Orange County that offers Kundalini yoga classes, which include a lot of breath work.  Learning how to focus on my breathing has been transformative for me.

How To Organize A Neighborhood Kids Caroling Party

Last year I helped organize an evening of old fashioned, door-to-door caroling for the kids in our neighborhood. It was so much fun – and ridiculously low-stress – that we’re doing it again this year, with a few improvements.

Here are 7 tips for organizing a kids caroling party in your neighborhood…

Do you think a personal stylist is a luxury or reserved for those with huge budgets? Think again! 

Affordable Orange County personal stylist, Jen, of  jeans | and | a | T makes personal styling accessible to moms like us who want to feel cute and confident in our every day lives – without breaking the bank. In fact, Jen can take you shopping right in your own closet and put together outfits you didn’t even know you had!

Jen believes style should be available to all budgets, sizes and needs. “I really want women (whether a full time working mama or a stay at home mom), to feel confident in what they wear every day.”

Whether you need to rock an outfit for the carpool, office or date night, she’ll help you put together outfits to put a little extra spring in your step and sparkle in your eye.
