Do It Afraid...

Have you ever noticed how kids are ALWAYS trying new things, like every day! They learn new skills & strategies at school. They try new activities & sports on the regular & they are constantly making new friends- right?!? My daughter literally comes home from every new adventure- camp, dance class, gymnastics...& tells me about new friends she has made- She is so excited to learn more about new people & share with them all about who she is.

So, why is it so hard & SCARY for us, as adults, to try NEW things & go on new adventures & make new friends?!? Is it because we are afraid that we wont be good at new things? That we will look silly? That people will judge us- or NOT like us?!? At what point did we lose the ability to "Just Go For It?!" When did we lose our sense of adventure & excitement & start judging ourselves more than anyone else ever would?!?

Let's be completely honest here- No one really cares what we are doing! On the occasion that someone is judging, forming opinions, being negative & nasty it says MUCH more about who they are than it does about who YOU are- & who cares what someone like that thinks of you anyway! Right?!

What would you tell your son/daughter if they told you that they really wanted to do something BUT were afraid? You would be heartbroken- You would encourage them to go for it & not take no for an answer!

Dig down to the carefree KID inside & Go For It!

Be Silly
Take the new job
Go Back to School
Go On the Trip
Make that New Friend

Say YES to the Things have been on your mind & in your heart!


I'm on your side- I am CHEERING You On!!!
Let's Do It AFRAID!!!

Stay Tuned...BIG News to Come...

New Year Refresh

I t’s that time of year when the holidays are over our holiday Decor is put away, hopefully! Your home is clean & quiet & let’s face it- we’re stuck in the house right now due various reasons. So, it’s a great time to reevaluate and refresh. I find that if I don’t go through my things, refresh and get rid of things that I don’t need or use; think those fancy underwear that you bought that were so uncomfortable that you never wore them!  That being said- Let’s get rid of the clutter and keep the things that we feel our best in! If we learned anything in 2020 it was to live our best lives. I like to take the end of January/beginning of February as a time to go through my things. I start with the most important; my “intimates”… Meaning bras underwear pajamas and of course my robe! This week at Smooth Styling with Corinne we are going to explore all of these! We will talk about underwear/panties (I hate that word)... bras/bralettes/sports bras, pajamas- I will Share with you my fav

"I am going to go shopping when I lose 10 pounds." "I just started this new nutrition/fitness program- once I am in the shape, and the size, I want to be I am going to buy the jeans I have been wanting." "Once I lose my baby weight I am going to go on a huge shopping haul." "I am not buying any new jeans-I have been holding onto my favorite skinny jeans and I am going to fit into them again!" I can not tell you how many times I have heard these things from friends, family, clients-I have been there- I literally worked my butt off after having my daughter 7.5 years ago. I was determined to lose my baby weight and fit into my pre-baby clothes and I did it, don't hate me. It was so much work and guess what...it was completely unmaintainable. I stayed at that weight for about 5 months before the weight began to creep back up because...  Because it was the holidays...Because I have a family...Because I have a full time job...Because I enjoy drinki

What's in My Closet...???

  I have been thinking deeply about how the "staples" of our wardrobes have changed in this past year; as most things have. It is always fun and absolutely necessary to add new trends and have fun with color, texture & pattern within our wardrobe; however, it is essential that we have a foundation for these exciting pieces to be a part of. Think of a new house- the fixtures; like the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom tile are so important as a way to show the homeowner's style & personality. However, you can't have those beautiful "add ons" without the foundation of the house in place.  The "staples" of your wardrobe are the foundation, just like the house, and the fixtures are "add ons," they add character, personality, spice! Wardrobe staples used to be boring-  Black slacks, a white button down shirt, a black shoe They have always slightly differed & evolved with the times- but 2020 definitely pushed us into a whole new wor
