Blog postWhether I’m traveling for two days or two weeks, my philosophy is this: carry-on or bust.
Packing everything in a single carry-on means less to pack and organize, less decision fatigue getting dressed, and less to haul around on your trip or vacation. I’m leaving soon for a two-week trip to Europe and I managed to pack everything I need in a compact carry-on suitcase. Victory!
I’m sharing a complete breakdown of exactly what I packed, and you can CLICK HERE for a printable ver -
Blog postIt feels like everyone I know is overwhelmed almost all of the time. I speak with clients, friends, and even family members who are retired who consistently feel like they have more to do than they can successfully cram into a day. My neighbor bashfully confessed to missing the days of covid lockdown where she allowed herself to slow down because there was no other alternative. Now her days are jam packed with activities, social plans, kid play dates, work meetings, and endless errands, and s

Blog postI’ve been feeling crummy about my tiny shared bathroom recently which is so silly because there are much bigger things to worry about – but here we are. The good news is our kids are happy, our public schools are wonderful and walkable, and we truly enjoy the rest of our home.
But, back to the bathroom. It’s tiny. It has an IKEA sink with no counter space. It has an old jacuzzi tub that looks like it’s from a bad 80’s movie. BUT, I’ve found that all it takes is the addition of a few l -

Blog postFor as long as I can remember, I’ve associated aging with physical and mental decline, depression, illness, and isolation. Not shockingly, I have amassed plenty of evidence to support this not-so-fabulous belief system. Most impactfully, when my father turned seventy he fell into a severe depression. He was one of the most robust, energetic, vital […]

Blog postLast weekend, Jordan and I left the kids and the dog with the grandparents for the first time in two years, and drove down the coast to Malibu. It was glorious. We stayed at a little hotel overlooking the beach, took walks, sipped overpriced smoothies, had dinner at my favorite restaurant, and returned home refreshed. I’ve always loved staying at hotels, and this time I paid extra close attention to all the details so I could try to recreate the same feeling at home. Here are five simple idea

Blog postHave you been wearing some version of the same thing for, oh, about the last two years? I hit a wall recently where I realized I had ended up in a bit of a pandemic fatigue fashion rut. Like so many people, I’ve pivoted my business to primarily working from home, so the only person I have to dress up for most days is myself – cue the slippers and cozy pants!
I used to pride myself on getting dressed with intention (I even created a course about it!) so I decided it was time to step it -
Blog postIf you’ve been feeling distracted, emotional, or anxious lately, I can assure you you’re in good company. The world feels especially heavy right now. Between the seemingly never-ending global pandemic, the climate crisis, and the heartbreak of this war, it’s hard not to feel a sense of despair, even paralysis.
I have been thinking a lot about how to take care of myself and others during this time, and to feel like I am making a difference – even if it is a small one. I’ve pulled toget -
Blog postOver the course of my career, I’ve learned that most people own things just because they were told somewhere along the way that they should own them. Today’s the day I break some great news: you don’t actually have to own anything you don’t want or need! And, if you slow down and question the things that surround you, you may be able to dramatically lighten your load.
Here are just five of the many things I realized I can happily live without:

Blog postRecently, I decided to treat myself to a few nights at the Rockridge Casita – a charming short-term rental just five minutes away from my own home. I was craving a little solitude, and I also needed to make major progress on my next book (which is suddenly due very soon – eek!).
Diana Pasquali, has been an Airbnb Superhost for 12 years, and her charming Casita was named Sunset Magazine’s #1 Home Tour of 2019. Diana truly is a super host and puts so much care and attention into making
