You know February 14th is approaching when the Target dollar section transforms from New Year's confetti to heart overload. Personally, I think Valentine's is one of the most overrated holidays of the year. The flowers are heavily marked up, all our favorite restaurants are booked, and the kids are sugared to the max. Graham and I don't do a whole lot of gifting in mid-February and have been known to put a movie on for the kids and enjoy a charcuterie and cheese board in the dining room by . . .
The Contentment Series: Collect Your Thoughts
Like many of you, I have a word for 2019. I personally prefer this to the never-ending lists of resolutions, but it can be hard to keep a mindset—which is essentially what the word stands for—in my head all twelve calendar page turns of the year.

And because I have a business that I love, I am adding a little Arbonne-inspired love to the mix with two, limited-time products you've just got to get your hands on this holiday season.
