Early Mornings: A Time to Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

Greetings Lovely Ladies,

I don’t know about anyone else, but I enjoy a weekday morning just as much as the next femme fatale. However, sometimes the birds chirping and the sun rising don’t quite match how I’m feeling in the morning. Sometimes I just want to lay in bed and question everything I know about the person I want to be. After all, one more snooze never hurt anyone.

A vanilla latte and slice of banana nut bread might not be the best option when you’re trying to save a calorie or two, but no one is judging. Starbucks has the hook up and I’m determined to use it. Future me can worry about burning the calories later while she’s running at the gym.

I hope you all enjoy a fabulous Tuesday. May your task lists not increase, and your agenda remain in peace.

Sincerely Yours,

The Refined Lady

Choice is the Spice of Life

Dear Lovely Lady, It's that time of the day again. Time for the evening check lists to come out and for work to go to bed. For a long time I always considered my evenings to be a time of escaping reality. No responsibilities and no pressure for deadlines. Procrastination was number one on the agenda, but recently I've had quite the change of heart. Every minute of our day we make a choice, down to the second. I think I've heard it called the butterfly effect, but it's more than just a work of fiction. Every choice we make is another building block to our not so distant future. From the people we associate with, to the route we take to work. We choose what we want for our future, as improbable as that might sound. So acknowledge your power. Let it be your decision. Indeed, always remember, your choices are the spice you add to life. Sincerely yours, The Refined Lady

Lunch Breaks Aren't Just For Kids

Dear Lovely Lady, I'm in the middle of my hour-time block marked "Lunch" as I write you this letter. I hope you're day is going as fabulously as you deserve. I recently had an epiphany that hit me while checking off the to-do list for the day. Sometimes we become engulfed by our work and we nix a meet up here and there with friends. Traveling to and fro for work allows you to see new places and try new restaurants, but often you do it solo style or with clients. This varies ofcourse from position to position, but sometimes we do it for other reasons than just our growing work load. It could be to prove to the world and maybe even secretly to ourselves that we're more than just a number, but a valuable employee and a capable woman. However, all we end up with is a burn out wondering why all of our friends have become so distant. We might question why in the world we're sitting in front of a tv screen instead of being out at a chic down town event with our...

Enveloping Myself in Self Love

Dear Lovely Lady, Self-love to me is waking up early in the morning bright and doe-eyed after a full nights rest with full anticipation of what the day has in store for me. Rolling out of bed and making sure all of the pillows and blankets get to where they belong. Preparing a peach-flavored oatmeal and adding extra walnuts, while steaming milk for a Citron Green tea-flavored latte to be sipped for the entirety of my morning ritual. Sitting at a table facing the windows with the curtains pulled back to watch as the sun rises and graces me with it’s rays of pink and orange rays of light, while I sit and write in my hot pink notebook that cheerfully suggests I “Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti” in gold foil. Meanwhile, I’m still wrapped in my soft throw blanket, recalling the events of the day before and writing what’s on my mind and in my heart. Then, getting up and cleaning up after myself, ensuring everything is placed back to its rightful home, and ...
