we are incredibly excited to launch our 4th workshop – the money talk workshop! in the fall of 2020 we launched a financial column on instagram. we couldn’t have expected the feedback that we received, countless messages filled with financial stress, worry and questions and a through-line of please do more of this, we need it.  money plays a huge role in all of our lives, whether we want it to or not. we created this workshop to meet you where you’re at, no shame or judgement.  you don’t need to prepare anything before hand or get your ducks in a row. come as you are. we hope you en ..read more

a year or so ago i found a rachel comey bright pink jacket on super sale (pictured above!). it has become one of my favorite pieces in my closet and something i look forward to wearing when the temps drop. the winter months can feel dark and grey, i’m originally from michigan so i understand dark and cold! having a bright coat to wear can feel uplifting and a departure from the gray, camel and black that is the majority of outerwear. a few favorites below! – joanie Anthro faux fur jacket Puffed sleeve coat Theory wool/cashmere coat Mango wool coat Quilted satin down coat J.C ..read more

hellllo from shelter island, new york! we did a 2 month house swap with a couple who lives here  and we are headed back to LA in two weeks, driving across the country again! i’m sad that it’s coming to an end because it’s been such a special time here, but also ready to get back home. i’ve been going through a bit of a hellish emotional rollercoaster myself, dealing with my own trauma stuff and having a LOT of time in my own head. luckily this has given me some new scenery, a cozy fire to sit by, a bathtub, beautiful snow, and a whole different vibe than los angeles. i’ve never really sp ..read more

we just got back from a week in hawaii on the big island. we were able to skip the 2 week quarantine by doing the testing in one of their trusted locations right before, and then they test you when you arrive. we felt really safe and were able to do activities outside, drive all around the island, spent time at our rental, and just relax. i’ve included a few airbnb rental options below as people often ask for suggestions on where to stay. maybe plan a trip for next year or bookmark one of these for when covid calms down. it’s important to be respectful of their land and to support the small b ..read more
