Crush and Covet is Jonesing for Spring

By //  by Katja Wulfers 1 Comment

This is the time of year where we're all done. We're done with wet feet from the snow melting inside the front door—Can no one stomp their boots outside? We're done with layers of socks and long johns and woolie underwear. We're done with staring at the same four walls and the piles of dishes that never disappear. And we're especially done with being adults. We know warmer weather is on its way and we want out. Jennifer Pitt -  I crave my outside time, no matter what the …

Crush and Covet Spreads Love with Sparkles and Beauty

By //  by Katja Wulfers Leave a Comment

Every once in a while it's good to be proved wrong. This week's Crush and Covet and all its odes to love in different forms, is proof that we do need beauty and sparkly things and all things smart to fill us with happy feelings. I stand corrected. Now go out and spread some love; someone, somewhere needs it and will thank you for it. Candace Derickx - I had never heard of a Tiare flower until I landed in Tahiti; the scent is intoxicating. I wore one in my hair the …

Crush and Covet to Help See Us To Our Goals

By //  by Katja Wulfers Leave a Comment

As January comes to a close, the challenge is to maintain our steam for 2017's goals and carry a new year's enthusiasm into the next months. Making choices that help us lead healthier, simpler, and happier lives goes a long way towards staying enthusiastic when all we want to do is flop on the couch under a blanket and hide from the world.  Jennifer Pitt - Like everyone else in the free world, I have decided to renew my love for the feeling I get AFTER going to the gym, …

An Action Plan for Living in a Trumped-Up World

By //  by Katja Wulfers Leave a Comment

On the day the now-president of the United States refused a question from a CNN reporter during a press conference, and labelled the outlet “fake news,” I was as outraged as millions in the US and around the world. Trump was setting a dangerous standard, one which journalists were already familiar with in Russia and Turkey. I sat down to write about the dangerous course we were taking and by the time I opened a new Word document, there was a new outrage. And then another one and another one. …

Crush and Covet Looks for the Simple Things

By //  by Katja Wulfers Leave a Comment

Back in the day we'd all make resolutions to work out more, or replace bread with more vegetables, or declutter our junk drawers, and while many of us still do that, the word that comes up a lot in conversation around a new year is SIMPLIFY. Simplify means different things to everyone with whom I speak. For some it's going old school with a paper organizer. For others it's bringing more music or fun (Hello! At-home alcohol maker!) into their lives. But for all of us it's about figuring out what …
