Dear Tim Gunn

Dear Tim Gunn,

I need your help! So badly. I need to be able to say "hurray" like the ad up there says.

I'm a mom.
Mom of three, to be exact as of to date.
I'm the AVP of our company.
I own an online bookstore
And I'm a make up artist on certain days.
I've been a good daughter and sister I think.
I'm a work in progress mom and wife.
I love books. I love make up.
I love my work-most of the time even if it isn't exacty the most thankful industry.
But most especially, I love my family.

But I am lost in all of the above and I realize I need help.
I need to manage my home, my family, my work without forgetting myself.
I need help.
From Martha Stewart.
From Bobbi Brown.
From Leslie Sansone and Jorge Cruise.
From the queer eye folks if they'd help me- even if their show is no longer on air.
From the home improvement people, the home renov and home makeover folks too.

But I'd like to start with you, Tim. Because everything begins with my closet and ends there.
Especially how I feel at the beginning of the day and how I end it. And I'm banking on that to get me through my journey to order.

I'd love to be made up really happy - wardrobe wise.



Hokay okay, i know. This is dreaming the close to impossible from my corner of the world.
It's just nice to be able to say, "Dear Tim Gunn, I need you" even if I'm devoid of any hope.
So Yay and Hurray!!!

I've been there and back again.

I'm back.
I'm supposedly back.
But I'm lost in the myriad of my excesses.
Excess hoarding, excess stash, excess everything.
The problem with calling it in as "I've had enough" is that you're actually beyond enough.
The problem these days is the world is a mall. It sells you everything, the idea of a life, your life and you're stuck trying to buy yourself into being that person.

Still, I'm resolute to be ever grateful for the life I have. Confused as I am, the heavens have still provided me with most if not all I need - plus the resources for bonuses. Sometimes I feel I may have received a little bit more than I deserve.

So what's next? I'm launching (or relaunching) my daily quest for order- 365 days to order. I'm gonna list down one thing a day to do to get things in order. And I know somehow itll be much better than sitting with this almost impossible to do list I've had for years. One step at a time.
And I'll take you with me each step i take until I find myself out of this mish mash.

May today be my lucky day.
