K-Pop may have started as a music genre, but it has become something much bigger — a cultural powerhouse shaping trends around the globe. And one of the most exciting ways we see its influence? Fashion.

From Seoul runways to American streetwear, the K-Pop effect is impossible to miss. It’s daring, colorful, and unapologetically fun — reminding us that personal style doesn’t have to fit neatly inside the box.

If you’ve been to the Parade of Homes this year, you know one thing for sure: patterned tile is having a major moment. And honestly? We’re here for it.

Gone are the days when tile was purely functional. Today, it’s a statement-maker — a way to add personality, story, and texture to a space without needing an entire remodel. Think bold Moroccan-inspired prints, soft encaustic patterns, or geometric designs that feel both modern and timeless.

There are a lot of things we were taught in school that barely apply now (looking at you, algebra). But emotional intelligence? That’s the one skill I wish we all learned earlier.

It’s not just a buzzword. EQ is the ability to recognize what you’re feeling, understand why, and respond — to yourself and others — in a way that builds connection instead of conflict. It’s not about being perfectly calm all the time. It’s about being aware, compassionate, and intentional.

There’s something about jetting off to a sunny island—the warm breeze, the salt in the air, and the slow pace of beachside mornings—that calls for a different kind of suitcase. Whether you're headed to a spot like Cabo or any dreamy island destination, packing smart means more time soaking in sunsets and less time digging for that one missing thing you forgot.

Here’s everything you need to pack for your tropical getaway, with a little STYLE, function, and SPF in mind.

If you’ve been following along with our travel blogs, you know we love to share the fun, the food, and the adventure. But sometimes, travel is more than just sightseeing — sometimes, it changes you.

My assistant recently returned from one of those trips — a journey that started in Egypt, full of culture and history, but became something far deeper in Ethiopia, through the work of an incredible nonprofit called Chair The Hope.

Running a business as a woman takes grit. Running a business as a mom? That takes grit — plus matcha, calendar hacks, and a whole lot of community. If you’ve ever felt like you’re building your business with one hand while holding your personal life together with the other, you’re not alone. The truth is, so many of us step into entrepreneurship or leadership because we crave more freedom, more creativity, more control over our time — only to realize quickly… it can feel isolating if we’re not intentional about building real connections along the way

The Utah Valley Parade of Homes never disappoints. Every year brings a lineup of spaces that showcase talent, craft, and creativity. But every once in a while, there’s a home that doesn’t just raise the bar — it redraws it. This year, that home was House 25: Modern Elm.

Designed for the owner of Crumbl, this wasn’t your average “luxury home.” It was bold in the best way — daring and unapologetic, yet so well-thought-out that every detail felt precise. Every room, angle, and surface felt like it had been mulled over, measured twice, and made to leave a lasting impression.
