Hi there! Just wanted to check in and give you a peek behind the scenes…a little bit about what’s going on in my life and a little bit about what’s going on with the blog. Most of the time, the two seriously overlap!
Mirror80 April Favorites
April was a great month at Mirror80, and I loved that there was a balance between authentic ’80s design and modern style with a retro twist. If you’re new to Mirror80, I’ll start by saying welcome! At the beginning of each new month, I publish a post that reflects on the month gone by.
Final Snapshots from SXSW 2015
Happy Saturday, Everyone. I wanted to share a few more snapshots from my week at SXSW 2015. While I love a good live show when it comes to music, I usually stick to SXSW Film, because my time is limited and the film festival is a way for me to recharge, take in some amazing movies, and learn more about the world through the eyes of talented filmmakers.
The Breakfast Club and Other SXSW Adventures
This week is off to an amazing start, and it’s all because SXSW is here! It’s truly the most beautiful time of the year in Austin (spring weather is finally starting), and with travelers from all over the world pouring into the city, it’s a blast to walk around downtown and people watch. I’m only taking Thursday and Friday off from work, so my film festival fun has been limited to one movie a day so far, but they’ve been very memorable selections. Let’s start with The Breakfast Club…
An ’80s Night In…
This winter has been colder than usual in my neck of the woods, and there have been plenty of nights that involved miserable weather–the kind that makes it anything but tempting to go out. So I decided to master the art of staying in. What does it take to have a decadent night at home? Whether it’s dinner for one, an evening with your special someone or a small gathering of friends, here are a few ideas for enjoying an ’80s-style night in!
On Facing Challenges…
Today’s post is about what happens when you start the new year with a fresh outlook and a long list of goals, but challenges arise a bit sooner than you expected. Anyone with me here? From time to time on Mirror80, I enjoy reflecting on life issues, and staying motivated can be a big one for people who make time for creative endeavors…and all of life’s other demands!
New Goals for a New Year
Hi Everyone! On this first weekend of 2015, I’m setting goals for the year ahead. I thought I’d share my Mirror80 resolutions with you, not only because I’m super excited about them, but because getting the word out will encourage me to meet my goals. Accountability is a powerful thing!
