It’s The Thought That Counts

It’s The Thought That Counts – Cuyana It’s always better to give rather than receive. It just feels good to give a great well-thought-out gift to someone you care about. Seeing their face light up when they open it, is just the icing on the cake. So instead of giving a bunch of useless gifts that mean nothing, we always try to take the time to really think about the holiday gifts that we give to our loved ones. What do they really need or what would they love to have that they wouldn’t normally buy for themselves? A cashmere sweater or monogrammed bag? You can’t go wrong with giving something classic that won’t go out of style after one season. Cuyana has been a go-to gift-buying destination for us because their products hold up, we know from experience! Their pieces are extremely well made and constructed from the high-quality materials, so you can rest assure that even the pickiest person on your list will be impressed.

Before you know it you are the woman who lived in her shoe, surrounded by a mountain of clothes the size of Everest that you haven’t touched in 5 years. And let’s not even talk about the handbags that have claimed their own entire walking closet. With clothes taking up their own residence, how is that we still complain that we have nothing to wear? As we teetered on the edge of becoming that lady dwelling in her shoe, we knew that there had to be a solution to the madness. And that boiled down to pairing down the wardrobe, getting rid of the mounds of clothes that we hadn’t been touched in practically a decade and making room for wardrobe staples that would actually earn their keep. Our closet cleaning kick came at the perfect time, right before I made my trip out to visit Michelle in […]
