Killer Heels “Stiletto” If you’ve been around for about 5 minutes you know I love a good reveal. A good rot day in bed. A good lemonade refresher from Starbucks and an oversized cable knit sweater. So welcome to my world of chaos and a sort of behind the curtain of writing my first book. I…

Art Interrupted
I’ve been asked a few times now why I would add writing to my already overflowing plate. There’s a few different answers I’ve given but it kind of just boils down to…. Because I can. Between my full time job in intellectual property, rebuilding my digital footprint and small business 6 years after walking away,…
My Visual Calling Card
Artists typically have a signature. It’s not necessarily an actual signature but more of a thing that’s identifiable to everyone else. Think Van Goghs swirling brush strokes or Yayoi Kusama’s signature polka dots. Kusama is the reason I got into the creative world and started playing with bold colors. Her art was the first thing I saw that invoked a feeling. I knew immediately I needed to play with colors, and I knew immediately I needed to incorporate her in my home. I’ve followed…
Street Art: The Art Of Public Emotion
Street art has always been louder than paint. It’s a pulse, a protest, a love letter, a confession, or even a warning. It’s the moment someone decides that their feelings deserve a wall, not a whisper. When you trace history, you realize street art isn’t just about color or style. It’s about emotion made public….
Lupus….The Silent Killer
I have Lupus. It’s so weird to say that because besides asthma in my childhood and some thyroid issues years ago that are now also being attributed to lupus, I’ve been relatively healthy in life. At this point, lupus has taken a kidney and an ovary from me so far and I’m still learning everyday…
Color Crush Series: Verdant Whisper
Vibe: Renewal, quiet growth, grounded optimism There are colors that shout, colors that seduce, and then there are colors that simply arrive softly, steadily, and like the truth you are finally ready to hear. Verdant Whisper is that kind of color. It doesn’t demand attention, it earns it through presence. Through patience and through quiet…
The Art of Being Dramatic on Purpose
Lately I’ve really found comfort in being dramatic about everything. Sometimes life, for me, just becomes so overwhelmingly chaotic that I can’t figure out if I’m going up or down. These past few weeks I’ve really decided to lean into dealing with it all in a very different way and weirdly, I’ve been far less…
Valentine’s Day: A Love Story, A Legend, and A Whole Lot of Marketing
Valentine’s Day didn’t always start with roses, prix fixe dinners, and heart shaped everything. It once began with ancient rituals, centuries of evolving storytelling, and eventually became the commercial powerhouse we now see every February. Understanding the true journey makes the holiday feel richer and a little funnier than the glossy pink aisles let on….
Unhinged Advice I’d Give If No One Could Hold Me Accountable
There’s a version of me who should probably never be allowed near a government office to run the world, but who should be allowed to run the life of someone for just a day. Unsupervised Coco is powered by Starbucks refreshers, intrusive thoughts, and the belief that life is too short to be normal all…
The Myth of the Effortless Woman
There’s a certain kind of woman the world loves to mythologize. You know what I’m talking about. The woman who just rolls out of bed with the perfect hair, color coordinated pajamas, glowing skin, and the emotional stability of someone who has never once cried in a Target parking lot. She is the patron saint…
