melissa gratz.
Detroit-bred, BGSU alummed and Alpha Phi lifer. Scentsy addicted. Lover of Michigan & Michigan's Great Lakes. Semi-serious Costco patron, newly obsessed with hot tea. Appreciator of fine Real Estate and a wanna-be artist of somekind. Collector of office supplies and post-it notes, adores anything butchy-chic and any collages of random yet related things. Pinterest is kinda how my brain works - one second I'm thinking of constructing a headboard, three seconds later I'm distracted by reorganizing a junk drawer.

All salt must be followed by sweet, and vice versa. A caramel covered pretzel, voila. And Diet Coke. And pistachios. And popcorn.

I always have great intentions but often stifle when it comes to follow through. This blog is kindof my accountability partner, to "Be you. And be you WELL. Live the life you've imagined."

Cozy up. Enjoy, or don't. Afterall, this corner of the internet is reserved for me to just be me.

Thursday, from my desk.


1. Top magazine choices: Mental Floss, Fast Company, & Inc. 


2. Shopping Target & Michael's before 10am is so peaceful, I think I bought more than normal because of it. 


3. I am ever so grateful for having the greatest friends. Today, I thank Jari & Joel for sending the coolest, most thoughtful gift we have ever received. You put the world in my hand today - thank you for documenting our travels together!


4. Aside from all that, today is going to be a really, really good day, for no other reason than I'm breathing.

Wednesday, from my desk.


1. Red Vines are wayyyyy better than Twizzlers.


2. Channel Smell Good News now has its own YouTube channel. 


3. No matter what you intend to happen on any given day, it's bound to pick up a wrench or seven along the way.


4. It doesn't matter how much money you make, you'll always want more, even though we can live on so much less.


5. Aside from all that, today is going to be a really, really good day, for no other reason than I'm breathing.

Tuesday, from my desk.


1. I am hooked on Orville Redenbacher's Garlic Butter popcorn.


2. I am in awe of the owl I saw this morning perched at the very tippy top of a tree, silent & still, unwavering & balancing on the tip of the top branch that stood straight up.


3. I'm with Keith Urban. "I don't need a whole lot of anything, I just want a little bit of everything." #includingmarriageequality


4. I'm sorry for the sorrow, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 passengers & families.


5. Aside from all that, today is going to be a really, really good day, for no other reason than I'm breathing.
