STEP OUT OF CLOSET HELL AND INTO YOUR OWN SANCTUARY

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Sanctuary Of Style

Hi Angelic Seekers of Beauty, Style + Inspiration!

How is your June going? I hope it’s filled with long lazy days sipping ice tea (or a skinny rita) with your bare feet kicked up and the warm breeze on your face! Ahhhhh–writing that made me want to go get a big glass of ice tea! Has anyone tried a few “must rock” items from the last webisode? I recently hit a new TJ MAXX in the valley (woohoo- there aren’t many in the LA area) and they carry just about all 25 of the items I spoke about. They have the best selection of floppy hats I’ve seen! Go get you one asap! I took a day off a few days ago and rocked my floppy hat at the beach. It protected my face great, but unfortunately, I was so exhausted I fell asleep on my tummy and burned by tush. Take note!

{wish you were here}

You spoke, I listened!

The most common questions I have been receiving lately is regarding CLOSET ORGANIZATION! It seems we all have an issue when we step into this sacred space. For many, it sounds like you are entering the Twilight Zone or Purgatory! This must STOP! When I started producing my videos and came up with the name Sanctuary of Style it was because all of my girlfriends would come over to borrow clothes and we would “play” dress up. Remember those times when you and your friends would get dressed together for a fun night out? You help each other create a killer outfit and everyone walks out of the closet feeling beautiful, confident and sassy. Of course, we can’t have our girlfriends over every morning to help us get dressed, but we can certainly create that experience EVERY SINGLE DAY! I know you’re thinking– Yea right Tiff. Trust me, it’s true! With a bit of focus, effort and planning you can create your very own closet sanctuary. In this new webisode, I give you (3) simple steps to get your mind set in the right direction…

I want to hear from you! Comment and give me your two-cents. What specific questions do you have about your closet? I will be producing a few more webisodes on your new-found heavenly space so stay tuned! Make sure to check in on the Facebook Page regularly and leave comments. We have lots of random giveaways for “commenters”.

Girls, remember to rock your imaginary tiara everyday because you are a QUEEN!

Much love, Tiff

Hello Precious Peacocks!

Join me in welcoming the month of May! Woohoo! Summer is around the corner. I trust you all had a beautiful April. I’ve been busy setting up the new studio, did my very first speaking engagements, took the most fabulous girls trip and started a new volunteer program teaching a small group of homeless pregnant women! I swear, the minute I wrote that blog about getting out of your CZ (comfort zone) last month- opportunities opened up for me to take my own advice. Funny how that works! Getting out of your CZ awakens so many different emotions ranging from excitement to anxiety to pure bliss. Your spirit is truly IGNITED! Don’t get me wrong– I have been to the point several times this month where I wanted to literally “crap my pants” and had to just face the fear, put on my imaginary Depends Underwear and GO FOR IT! It’s very liberating and I highly recommend it!

Join me for the month of May- I challenge us all to START making the necessary tweaks to our life to make it a whole lot more AMAZING! My dear girlfriend Julianna Geldien shared a fantastic “to-do” list of 31 positive things we can all do to IGNITE THAT SPARK and I had to pass it along to you! Are you ready…..

Start spending time with the right people. (stop hanging with the negative Nelly’s)
Start facing your problems head on.
Start being honest with yourself about everything.
Start making your own happiness a priority. (being a martyr is not pretty)
Start being yourself- genuinely. (stop caring what other people think about you)
Start noticing and living in the present.
Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you.
Start being more polite to yourself.
Start enjoying the things you already have. (you’ll get more of it)
Start creating your own happiness. (happiness is inside of all of us- we just need to unleash it)
Start giving your ideas and dreams a chance. (you are preggars with possibilities- don’t abort your dreams before their you give them a chance to grow)
Start believing that you’re ready for the next step. (just step out and go for it..even if it’s a baby step)
Start entering new relationships for the right reasons.
Start giving new people you meet a chance.
Start learning from others and appreciating others gifts. (let go of pride + ego)
Start cheering for others victories.
Start looking for the silver lining in tough situations. (there’s a lesson in every circumstance)
Start forgiving yourself and others.
Start helping others and get your mind off yourself. ( this is the best natural anti-depressant)
Start listening to your inner voice. (it will always take care of you)
Start being attentive to your stress level and take short breaks.
Start noticing the beauty of small moments. (when you get a grin from a baby)
Start accepting things when they are less than perfect.
Start working toward your goals and dreams every single day.
Start being more open about how you feel. (remove the mask and keep it real)
Start taking full accountability for your own life. (stop the blame game)
Start actively nurturing your most important relationships.
Start investing your energy in the things you can control. (stop wasting time on things beyond your control)
Start focusing on the possibility of positive outcomes.
Start realizing your unique gifts + talents. (stop comparing yourself to others and what they can do)
Start noticing how wealthy you are RIGHT NOW. (you are so blessed)

Let’s all focus on one thing per day and regroup on May 31st to assess any changes, blocks or shifts that happened. So exciting!

Get ready for your light to shine brighter than ever!

I am BEYOND excited to start shooting webisodes again and thank you for hanging in there with me during this transition! I sense everything is going to a new level and I look forward to this next chapter with you all. Don’t hesitate to share any topics you want to see! I love getting ideas and feedback.

Remember, I’m all about giving you the tips to help you look good on the outside as well as “inner beauty” tips to help you feel good on the inside ! True, genuine and lasting beauty requires the dual-approach. We can’t focus only on our outer appearance and neglect our spirit! Cheers to keeping it balanced and I have made it my mission to help you do so.

With tons of love, Tiff

P.S. Do your girlfriends a favor and invite them to join you on making the month of May simply AMAZING! Share it, Follow it, Tweet it, Comment on it!

EXCITING UPDATE: New Casa for SOS! I need your help!

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Sanctuary Of Style

Hola Bonitas!

How was everyone’s March? I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and fresh energy that comes with Springtime! As you know, we spent almost 3 weeks on the road and can I just tell you…IT DID WONDERS FOR ME! I know road trips aren’t for everyone, but if you put on your “Thelma & Louise” mentality (minus the final cliff scene) then it truly FREES YOUR SPIRIT! Living in the high energy city of LA can take a toll on a Texas gal so I make it a priority to escape once or twice a year. The break definitely makes me appreciate this one-of-a-kind, magical place that I now call HOME!

We packed up the SOS studio before leaving on our trip and I’m excited to announce we have found a new space! Woop Woop (hands in the air and hips wiggling)! So, this is where YOU come in…I would love your ideas and opinions on how I should design it! The webisodes are for YOU- so why not tell me how you want it all to look? I envision it with a similar look as my first dressing room and studio with the white built in’s, but I want to add more color this time! Perhaps a pink wall or a bubblegum pink chaise? I love the mixture of vintage and modern pieces too. Give me YOUR ideas. This will be a work in progress over the next month and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE your help in creating the new SOS home! I could hire a pro to help me, but I think this is more fun. Here’s a few ideas I have found on Pinterest…make your comments below! Let’s do this together…

Crazy over splashes of bubblegum pink!

or maybe a pink wall? Aren’t these accent pillows in turquoise divine?!

What about splashes of several colors: Pink, Turq, Yellow and Orange? (minus the busy wallpaper)

This is why I need YOUR HELP! I also love the subtle richness of white & lavender..there’s just too many choices!

Overall, I love this entire look: The pink wall, gold accent mirror, white accessories and zebra rug!

TO DIE FOR!

If you are on Pinterest, check out the board I’ve created with these ideas and make sure to follow me! Pinterest-ing is my new fave way to unwind. It’s brilliant, fun and sparks creativity: http://pinterest.com/sanctuarystyle/the-sanctuary/
