Last week Lani wrote about her five tools to keep her New Year’s resolutions. My five stress reducing tools for the new year are meant to meet my biggest goal for 2021: to reduce stress and anxiety.
Designer-Inspired DIY by Kyle
As your average late-20s millennial, who is living the DINK life and deciding how to spend my time before ~the next stage~ of my life, I have spent 2019 pouring my heart and soul into anything and everything crafty.

I already owned a plain black designer overcoat from Philosophy, I just needed to find the right applique. I knew exactly where to get it, M&J Trimming in New York of course!
