Hey, gang! I’m popping in this morning with a little request. This time of year gets kind of crazy for those of us bloggers in the lifestyle/entertaining/DIY realm as holiday prep and projects step into high gear. (In fact, some holiday stuff begins as early as July for me every year!) I’ve spent a lot …
About Cyd
I wanted to take a moment to chat with you guys about something slightly different today. Yoga! Specifically, how I used to practice semi-regularly back in college (primarily kripalu) and would love your thoughts and input on starting again. In the area where we live there aren’t a ton of local yoga studio options, making …
Have you guys seen Joy’s new app, Pippit? It just launched earlier this week and after downloading it this morning I’ve been having fun playing around with it over the last hour or so. I currently have about, oh, zero followers, but it got me thinking that I might be past due for a little …
[Inspirational quote from Free People.] Hands down one of the most frequently asked questions I get is how I got to where I am today. Whether it’s from readers, family, or random people I meet, people always wonder how on earth, of all things, I became a blogger. I’ve been planning to write this post …
[Lettering + photo by Jennet Liaw.] Lately I’ve found myself wanting to share things that are a bit more personal and a bit more real. The rare times I’ve done so in the past I’ve always been grateful for doing so, so I’ve decided to open up more often. In fact, the words of this …
I promised on Friday that I’d be officially kicking off the New Year today with a few thoughts on the year ahead. And well, it’s time to talk about 2014! I’ve been doing more thinking and brainstorming and daydreaming about the months ahead than I can adequately express in words. Probably too much, if I’m …
Hola, friends, and happy weekend to you! Early this week I mentioned that I was going to be traveling for business starting on Wednesday and now the cat is out of the bag. For the last couple of days Ami and I have been in Mexico at the amazing El Dorado Casitas Royale. We’re here …
Friends, can we chat health and lifestyle for a moment? I wasn’t planning to write this post just yet and, frankly, this is far outside the realm of what we usually chat about around these parts. That said, I know I’m far from being alone in my journey over here and I thought it might …
If you follow me on Instagram, chances are you’ve seen this photo already. I posted it last week and hinted at the fact that I may soon be leaving behind the work-from-home world to take up residence in a pretty storefront office. (Hooray!) A week later, everything is lining up quite nicely and it’s official! …
It’s hard for me to believe that The Sweetest Occasion marked five years old at the beginning of September. Five years! If we want to get a little statistical for a moment, that’s 1/6 of my lifetime. It feels so short and yet so long all at the same time. I never imagined five years …
It dawned on me that it has been quite some time since I’ve shared any snippets with you a la Instagram! I try to be good about these things, I really do, it just seems that the weeks zip on by and before I know it it’s August and I haven’t shared any Instagram photos …
[Photo by Anika London Photography from A Subtle Revelry. Styling by Carter & Cook Event Co.] Have you guys had a chance to pop over and check out my work at Babble lately? It’s where I write about all things entertaining, DIY, craftiness, style and things I generally love. I just adore being a part of the Babble team …
