The 'we should grab coffee' loop has a 90% chance of turning into six months of silence. If you don't put a physical date on the calendar this week, your group text is going to stay a graveyard of good intentions.

It starts as a genuine thought on a Tuesday morning. You miss your people. You send the text. Everyone agrees we need to hang out. Then life happens. The laundry piles up, work gets loud, and suddenly it's three months later and you still haven't seen each other.

Here’s the thing. We treat seeing our friends like a luxury we have to earn after the to-do list is done. But the to-do list is never done. To be clear, waiting for a 'free weekend' is how friendships start to feel like work instead of a lifeline.

Seriously, life is too short to let the people you love become a notification on your phone. Booking a private party or a studio appointment isn't about being fancy. It’s about creating an anchor in the schedule that actually happens.

When you’re here making a custom fragrance or getting permanent bracelets together, you aren't just buying something. You’re making sure that 'someday' actually shows up on the calendar. We handle the vibe and the setup so you can just show up and finally have a real conversation.

If you're ready to get the group out of the chat and into the room, comment PARTY and we'll get it started. Let’s actually make it happen.

I have a doctorate. A career that looks exactly like it's supposed to look. I worked hard to build it and I take it seriously.

But somewhere along the way I stopped checking in about whether any of it was actually making me happy.

Not 'am I performing well.' Not 'does this look right from the outside.' Happy. The kind where you're in the middle of doing something and you realize you're smiling without meaning to.

That check-in with myself has happened numerous times since I started All That Glitters. And the answer it keeps giving me is the reason the new studio space is opening this month.

If you've been watching this build from the beginning - thank you. You're part of why it's happening.

The studio waitlist is open now through June 10. Everyone who books through the waitlist gets a free charm with their appointment. Comment WAITLIST and I'll shoot you the link.

90% of the scent collections in your bathroom are actually blocking you from finding a signature fragrance.

Most of us buy perfume because it smells incredible on a piece of paper at the mall or because a friend wore it to dinner last week. Then we get it home, spray it on our own skin, and by lunch, it either smells like nothing or something we don't even recognize. To be clear, it's not the perfume's fault. It's your body chemistry.

Here is the thing. Your skin has its own unique pH, temperature, and oil level that acts like a filter for every ingredient in a bottle. A heavy woodsy note might turn sweet on me but stay sharp and crisp on you. When you buy mass-produced scents, you're just hoping you fit the average profile of a million other people. Life is too short to smell like a generic department store counter.

The real trick to finding a scent that actually sticks is understanding your base notes. Instead of layering three different pre-bottled perfumes and hoping for the best, you have to build from the bottom up. We start with the heavy hitters that stay on the skin longest, like amber or musk, and then layer the lighter florals or citrus on top.

Seriously, once you see how a single drop of sandalwood changes when it hits your pulse point, you'll never go back to blind-buying bottles. It turns a fragrance into an actual extension of who you are rather than just something you're wearing for the day.

Booking custom Scent Bar parties for the summer if you want to finally build something that belongs to you. Comment PARTY for the deets and let's find your base.

June is shaping up to be a fun one. ✨

You'll find me at markets, breweries, pop-ups, private parties, and a few special events around the Twin Cities this month.

But honestly, the biggest thing happening isn't on this calendar.

The new Minnetonka studio is opening this month. 🥳

What started at a kitchen table, moved through folding tables, markets, and a studio in the North Loop is about to enter its next chapter, and I'm excited to bring you along for the ride.

Whether you're looking for permanent jewelry, a girls' night, a unique date idea, or just an excuse to do something fun this summer, I'd love to see you.

Which event will I see you at? 👇

The bar is simple: walk in, feel welcome, leave happy.

No pretension. No pressure. Just a space that feels elevated without making you feel like you have to earn it.

That's my goal for All That Glitters, and we're bringing it to Minnetonka mid-June.
Comment WAITLIST for early access.

Twenty years in one place teaches you something about community.

Back in 2000 I said yes to a job teaching music in Hopkins Public Schools. Other than a brief detour to Minneapolis as an Assistant Principal, it's been my home ever since.

Now All That Glitters will be in the neighborhood, too. Coming home mid-June. Comment WAITLIST if you want early access and a perk or two.

Can't wait to share the new space with you!

Somewhere along the way, self-care started sounding like a second full-time job.

A 14-step routine. A perfect morning. A color-coded water bottle situation. A life that apparently includes unlimited time and emotional bandwidth.

Meanwhile most of us are just trying to remember if we drank water and where we put our lip balm.

The routines that actually stick are usually the simple ones. The realistic ones. The ones that still work when life gets busy.

Not everything needs to become a project to be worth doing.
