Into Mind Navigation




As I uprooted my life from New Orleans and stared down an open road, otherwise known as my future, I was a little lost. I knew I needed to let go of a lot of ways in which I had been living and especially where, but I didn’t know what to move towards. I just knew doing what I had always done would get me what I had always gotten.

I felt a deep sense of tired. A tired so tired, I slept 12 hours every night and couldn’t move more than was necessary. Doctors couldn’t diagnose it and I just slept. It was good for my soul. It shook me in necessary ways, and when I finally came around I had re-examined beliefs and found a lot of them no longer mine. This took two years of a lot of playing, sleeping, what I termed “My second teenage hood” and it helped so much.

I really hope I don’t end up going through a “second young adult hood” Now that would be rough! But I am moving away from everything I know (the south) to find expansion in my future. I know that there are few things in this world that help you ask the hard questions. That hold a mirror up to you and also help you navigate it.

INTO MIND, is just one of these resources. Anuschka's well written blog a invaluable resource when planning my clothes for this 3 month long Europe trip. She's also been helping me get through this pretty intense identity crisis. She holds up the guideposts that are the questions I’ve needed to be asked.

On August 5th she is releasing a workbook entitled:

“PERSONAL STYLE & THE PERFECT WARDROBE // A WORKBOOK”

This is what she says about it:
“It’s a one-stop guide that walks you through the entire wardrobe building process, from the first baby steps to the final tweaks. It’s strictly not a read-through-in-one-go-book, but a WORK-book: A very hands-on road map that shows you how to upgrade and overhaul every aspect of your wardrobe step-by-step.”

I’ve found Anuschka’s blog to be more introspective, deeper, and with meaning. More so than i've found in most style books that i've ventured to read. Everyone knows style cant be bought, it must be found, but sometimes you just need help asking the right questions. So if you are looking for what will no doubt be an amazing resource get in on it, it will be 20% off on August 5th and i'll be getting a copy.
