Choosing the Hard

Choosing the Hard

December 29, 2016 Julia Harkey Comments 0 Comment

We are all primed to search for the easiest way possible in life.  That is just our nature and why I leave crumbs all over the house because plates and napkins are just TOO MUCH DAMN IT!!! You’ve never heard the saying however, “easy work pays off”. NOPE. So I have a new challenge for all of you.  CHOOSE THE HARD EVERYTIME.  Everything worth becoming and doing is hard.  So embrace the chaos, confront your fears, face the obstacles, and…

Perfectionism is LAME

Perfectionism is LAME

December 23, 2016 Julia Harkey Comments 0 Comment

Remember Mary Poppins?  What a complete TERROR.  That movie should have been rated R for all of the graphic horror it showed.  It’s true don’t question this.  The only redeeming part is the dancing penguins.  Those guys are a class act.  Fo real guys, anyone else exhausted from the pursuit of perfection?  How often do you read an article about how to get the perfect hair, to choose the perfect houseplant, to plan the perfect dinner party….when does this hamster…

Toxin-free Beauty

Team, circle up and take a knee.  The ingredients in your products MATTER.  Not only do toxins slow down your awesomeness but if you are spending money on a new treat for yourself, you may be washing your face AND washing your money down the drain at the same time.  Let me explain… In case you were sleeping in Biology class, your skin is your largest organ.  Most anything you soap up with, or slather on your skin enters into…

We are all guilty of it.  The mind demons of comparison and unworthiness.  FUCK THOSE GUYS!  Seriously, the world has so much negativity these days why add more to your stress and insecurities? I’ll just out the elephant in the room, there is a major asshole here and the asshole is YOU!!!!  Sorry not sorry.  Words have power and we all need to take a moment to love on ourselves and cut the mental crap.  It’s exhausting, no?  I challenge…

Punching Germs in the Face

Ah cold season, you devil witch.  When will we ever be safe? Now I know this may come across as another list of obvious things to do when you are fighting a cold, but let’s be REALLY HONEST with ourselves.  I rarely get sick, but when I do I turn into a worthless pile of goo.  All of the good eating and health habits? Gone. It’s all cheesy pasta, thai food, and goldfish for me and often times I’m too…

Post-election Wellness

Post-election Wellness

November 21, 2016 Julia Harkey Comments 0 Comment

Anyone else suffering from post-election hangover?  I feel like New York City has truly turned into a ghost-zombie wonderland.  Without getting angry or political, I wanted to challenge everyone out there to be an EXTRA AWESOME GOOD PERSON.  Many of us are confused, elated, indifferent, hurt, amused, scared, and downright pissed off and those emotions should be felt for healing to begin. Personally, I’m intellectually and emotionally tired of all the fighting.  This is a plea for both sides to…

Living with Intention

I have news for you guys, we are ALL doing too much and are missing what’s going on around us.  How often do you switch from screen to screen on your iPhone and completely forget the original thing that you picked up your iPhone to do? That’s not multitasking, that is losing your mind slowly and doing tasks POORLY.  (Just this moment I started writing this article and my phone buzzed…there’s a group chat about plans to travel to a…

Dealing with Disappointment

Dealing with Disappointment

September 29, 2016 Julia Harkey Comments 0 Comment

Disappointment, it’s where all your hopes, wishes, and expectations go to complete shit.  We feel anger, hurt, and sadness, and if you’re anything like me, you turn into a pile of goo like Alex Mack and WALLOW!! And DWELL! And have fake fights in your head with the people you are mad at in which they say something shallow and stupid and you come at them with firm but goddamn eloquent comebacks!!! And then you convince yourself that life is…

Learning on the Go

September 21, 2016 Julia Harkey Comments 0 Comment

  Did you read the last post about books and immediately blackout in a fit of rage? Did you think, “What the living dilly fuck is she doing recommending BOOKS??? TO READ?!?!?” (Then you ripped off your shirt while catapulting a tiny hamster out your window while simultaneously chugging an entire magnum of whipped cream flavored vodka?) If you aren’t a book person or are running around super busy, try podcasts you maniacs! Put that hamster down and buy better…
