Julie & Julia

I believe in life that when you’re cornered with seemingly no way out, it forces you to be resourceful and dig dip within yourself; in effect it makes you courageous.

Before I relocated from Long Island, NY to Nevada, I had a freelance decorating and personal shopper business that kept me very content and busy, aside from having my circle of friends that made life fun and enjoyable. Within a couple of years after we settled into our newfound environment, I started feeling disconnected and slowly started to lose my joy. The movie Julie and Julia came at the right time. As I was watching the movie I immediately bonded with both characters. First with Julie for the joyless circumstances she had found herself in and wanting to change it. Second, I connected with Julia Child for the love of cooking, eating, and the Parisian lifestyle that she was enjoying, which are all of my favorite things.

I had just started my blog formerly known as “Keeping Up With DaFashionista” and remember thinking to myself – “omgoodness, here’s someone who’s going through the same thing that I’m going through right now!” It gave me a sense of optimism and joy. Here, I too, had started a blog to help me keep my passion of design, fashion, food, entertaining and traveling alive while at the same time I found that writing my way through my mental fog after so many years of being away from home really helped me go inward to sort it all out. That’s why this movie will be one of my all-time favorites! It’s a classic and is super inspirational.

Remembering NoraEphron – thanks for some great classic memories
