  • Resolve to be resolute.

    Resolve to be resolute.

    Here we are, brand new year. While being out with a cold isn’t how I’d imagined starting off the year I’m going to stay positive about it. Like most people I’ve always been the type of person that make grand resolutions and can’t even remember what they were by the last week of January. But…

  • Thou Shall Not Covet: For Home.

    Thou Shall Not Covet: For Home.

    I think most people who love (read: obsess) over home decor know one thing: your home should make you happy. I’m not claiming to be an expert here, but think about how amazing it would feel to wake up in a space that truly makes you smile every time you open your eyes. Now think…

  • Thou Shall Not Covet: For Her.

    Thou Shall Not Covet: For Her.

    Update: Not quite done with the workspace, however it is ‘workable’ now. The shelving is up and as you can see from my last Instagram post, I couldn’t decide what to do with it (paint, stain, leave). After some help from the comments and a little research I decided to stain them. Stay tuned! Am…

  • failure.

    failure.

    Guys, I couldn’t do it. Scratch that, I didn’t do it. I didn’t make my own deadline. As I walked in the door last night after a day of Christmas overload (we decorated Yong’s mom’s house), the disappointment fully set in as I realized what day it was. My plans had included using this weekend…

  • running: progress, week two

    running: progress, week two

    The temperature dropped about 10° from last week, down to 64°. In LA we call that cold. Sorry rest of the country, we’re spoiled! For me that means under the covers with the space heater blasting (we have no central air and poor insulation). So I’m especially proud that I went out and did my…

  • back to work.

    back to work.

    Below is the current state of events when it comes to my workspace. Sad, I know. I don’t think I’ve ever shared this space because I never really knew where I was going with it. I kept waiting to have some epiphany about how to finish it.  I have a thing for black walls and…

  • doing it and doing it and doing it (not so) well.

    doing it and doing it and doing it (not so) well.

    You guys, I’m doing it! Last week’s post was, like I said, difficult for me; but so necessary. All of last week I focused on the self-discipline part of it all. Kept myself on task when it came to the small stuff. I mean really small stuff, like replying to emails/texts/messages immediately. Especially if they…

  • just do it already.

    As a I check my twitter feed this morning I noticed a tweet from Nike Women that simply read “What are you training for?” — To which I replied, “a better me.” @infamylives How are you improving yourself today? #mymoment #nikeplus — NikeWomen (@nikewomen) October 24, 2012 They replied with a question I’ve been asking…
