Fearlessly Chic Living by Khristian A. Howell

Your home is a mirror. Swipe to slide 6 and do the test tonight and share with a friend so you can compare notes.

It takes two minutes, and you don’t need to move a single thing.

The full piece is on Substack.

When you’re ready to read every room this way, NUMB is the second link in my bio.

What did you see when you stood in the doorway? Tell me the room.

It’s hard to trust your eye when you can’t trust yourself.

When we see ourselves accurately, we can finally see our spaces. Your home is a self-portrait. If the portrait is blurry, the room has no point of view. If it’s askew, the room shows it. It is inevitable.

So the work starts with you, and the furniture comes second.

That’s why I built NUMB. It teaches you to read your rooms the way a designer does: you observe the outer, then you diagnose the inner. Room by room, you start to see what you chose, what simply arrived, and what belongs to a past version of you.

Start with the room that feels off. NUMB is the first link in my bio.

Do you trust your eye at home? Yes, no, or working on it.

The room was never the problem.

The woman who can’t commit to a sofa isn’t indecisive. The one who keeps redecorating isn’t restless. They’re both trying to solve an inner question with an outer tool, without the instructions.

After twenty years designing spaces, here’s what I know: design is the vehicle, not the destination. A beautiful room can’t hold you if the life inside it doesn’t fit.

That’s the whole premise of Center of Gravity. If any of this landed, it’s in the bio.

Which slide did you feel in your chest? 👇

This season, like no other, we will appreciate the little things.
Spread joy and compassion generously.

This is what it means to rock the vote, right ladies? ✌🏾
Merci beaucoup mes amis for helping spread the word through faShUn:







Also, Election Day is 20 days away, not that we're counting down or anything 😉😉

We love nothing more than crisp autumnal mornings with leaves gathering on the ground and early voters hitting the polls.
Did you vote early? Drop your city / state and how long it took you to cast your ballot.

Le Bébé will be one in a few short weeks! 🥺Ready for some ? No one ever comes even close to telling you the real deal of the first year. It is hard, like the hardest year there can possibly be (let's not even top it with a pandemic). The funny thing is you really do actually forget exactly how incredibly difficult it is. Nature gets the last laugh on that one. Alas, as all aspects of parenting, this milestone is the literal definition of bittersweet.
Things I will miss:
- Tiny baby moments like sweet coos, itty bitty onesies, a teeny babe sleeping on your chest
- The sweetest nursing moments
- Witnessing those amazing moments when you watch "the lights come on"
Things I will not miss:
- Clocking EXACTLY when I had that glass of w**e
- Not wearing earrings for fear of imminent earlobe loss. Can't wait to wear all the hoops again, like these beauties from 😍✨
- Did I mention that thing about the w**e??
