Dear Poll: Would You Move Back in With Your Parents?
Living on your own as an independent woman is something we all strive for, but what happens when you just can't afford to make ends meet? I know moving back into your parents house isn't ideal, but for some it's the only option. So ladies, tell me, if you needed to move home until you got back on your feet, would you consider it?
Do Tell: What Would You Save If Your House Was on Fire?
It's scary how many wildfires we seem to have in California these days. The tragedies always make me think about how awful it would be to go through a fire, and I start to ponder the hypothetical question of what I would save if my house were burning.
My mom often said that if she could only save one thing, it would be our family photos — though that's not as relevant today in the age of digital photography.
Do You Live in a Stressful City?
Forbes is at it again, but this time they are looking at the 10 most stressful cities in America. They constructed their list after looking at the country's 40 largest metropolitan areas and examining quality of life indicators. They looked at the housing market, cost of living, price of gas, environmental factors such as weather and air quality, and lastly, population density.
Dear Poll: Did You Grow Up in an Affectionate Household?
My family has always been affectionate both physically and verbally, so it wasn’t until high school that I realized not every family was like mine. Other families — although equally as loving — didn’t necessarily go around saying “I love you” every time someone left the house. Neither is better, but I do think the level of affection in the household you grew up in will have an effect on the adult home you make for yourself.
Do Tell: Is Your Parents' House Still "Home"?
Though it can sometimes take a few tries, the majority of us end up getting out of our parents' house between our late-teens and mid-twenties. And of course, moving out is very much a rite of passage on the path to adulthood; you learn how to pay the bills and create a place that’s all your own.
I love my family dearly, but I know I’d never give up my independence to live with them again.
The How-To Lounge: Getting Organized
Even if you’re more clean than messy, it’s still easy to end up with more than a few disorganized piles of stuff lying around the house, office, car, or even in the depths of your purse. Most of us function better in an organized environment, so if you have some clutter getting you down, see my tips and read more
A Do or a Don't: Personalizing Your Cube
Since we spend most of our time at work, our cube or office space essentially becomes our home away from home. I've never gone so far as to put frames on my desk, but I definitely have my fair share of unique touches that makes my desk feel homey and familiar. On the flip side, some people don't even feel comfortable sharing their personal life with their co-workers so I'd assume personalizing their cube would be out of the question.
This or That: His House or Yours?
After a few months of serious dating, you and your boyfriend have moved into the staying-over-nearly-every-night phase. Things have actually been going exceptionally well relationshipwise, though you have noticed a few weird things on his part. Would it be worse if .
Dear Poll: Does Your Work Life Interfere With Your Personal Life?
Although I’m sure Savvy would advise against it, sometimes it seems nearly impossible to separate professional life from personal life. I know in the past when I’ve had a terrible day at work, I’ve ended up having an equally terrible night at home. Somehow my bad mood leaves me irritable and short with my loved ones no matter how hard I try to leave my work baggage at the office.
Do Tell: What Makes a House a Home?
Home sweet home — there's nothing like it! Whether it's the smell, your own bed, or your dog welcoming you at the front door, there's just something comforting about being around the things you love. My parents' house will always feel like home because it's full of warmth, love and a little bit of chaos, but ladies, do tell, what makes a house a home for you?
