Photo by Stephanie Sunberg for Maria StanleyTime management and organization have never been natural to me. When life became aMaMangeabel, a constant since my second son arrived, I looked at experts. Not once I thought about listening to my own rhythm and body. Productivity, I thought, was something to dominate, not something to understand.Then I hit a wall.I was tired of feeling like that, so I stopped fighting with my own nature. I stopped receiving productivity advice from people who do not have ADHD.For years, I had my leg trying to contort myself in some that I was: structured, disciplined…

I see such a deep connection between our interior lives and the way physical movement creates space—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Movement has been the foundation of my healing journey, and while my body may look different than it did a few years ago, it’s just a small reflection of the deep transformation I’ve experienced. When we move with intention, with presence, we start to feel what it’s like to really live in ourselves. To fully occupy who we are. That’s why I wanted to sit down with Berit Ahlgren, the founder of Sunna. She’s created something that’s…
Jammy Eggs With Pickled Leeks, Dill, Capers, Smoked Salmon, and Buttermilk Crème Fraîche ToastsThere’s something extra magical about winter weekends at the cabin. Slow mornings. Coffee by the fire. Long meals. No agenda. The simplicity of being in nature. My friend Lisa Hackwith and her partner have spent years hosting friends and family at their cabin on a small lake, and over time, Lisa has developed a creative approach to cooking that makes weekends feel both effortless and special. Instead of hauling a long grocery list up north and ultimately leaving food to waste, she embraces the challenge of using a…
An interview tactic that Harit Nagpal, MD and CEO of Tata Play Ltd, recently shared on LinkedIn has sparked conversations online. His go-to opening question during job interviews is simple: “Did you have any trouble getting here?” According to Nagpal, the response he gets helps him gauge whether a candidate is a good fit for the role. “The ones who listed potholes, traffic jams, rain, etc. lost me at the beginning itself,” he explained. “But the ones who laughed off these issues and shared an interesting story, they became my colleagues.” Nagpal explained that candidates who focus on things beyond…
This month’s theme about White & Delight has to do with the art of mixture in interior design. I wanted to share more information on this topic and write about as You can apply the art of the mixture in your own home.When I first sat to write this article, I thought about the kitchen book Salt, fat, acid, heat By Samin Nosrat (one hand in hand!). No, this is not an interior design book, but is A book that helps people discover how to mix and balance different elements in the kitchen. I decided to adopt a similar approach…
Recently they diagnosed me rosacea, which led me to take a closer look at the skin care products I was using. Through this process, I reassess my skin care routine, paying special attention to how my skin reacts to different factors: my cycle special. Just before my period, I tend to get some grains, and my rosacea stalle, so I concentrate on using soft and relaxing products that last that time. I thought it was time to share how my routine looks now. Today, I am sharing my favorite skin care devices, devices and treatments that work for me at…
This publication is brought to you inside.The color and pattern add so much life and personality to a home. But for many of us, it is difficult to know where to start. We are afraid to make mistakes or our houses look too busy or crowded. It was not a transfer to a house where the color and pattern that I even felt called to use its full potential. I realized that I liked being surrounded by color and pattern more than I thought. Five years after living with our eclectic and colorful home, I have learned that the benefits…
A Nordic club in our dining room (the back in our living room is vintage).Originally published in January 2022″Where did you get that?” It is one of the questions that ask me often must. The carpets were the first Purhase Grande decoration article that I began to collect when I moved to my first apartment. Under you there are a wide variety of brands, price points and styles represented below, by a number or reasons. Even if you plan to buy cheaper backups, I still recommend navigating marks with carpets to all prices. In my experience, familiar with what is…

After four months without alcohol, I started my chapter “Soberish” in early March. He found himself without ceremonies as ended, without dramatic moment, just a quiet change. Since then, the leg is going well: a drink or two per week. The dinners now end with a glass of wine, a feat that I never thought of possible.What has made this change feel manageable is knowing Because I want a drink when I do it, and find something else that gives me exactly what I was looking for. That part surprised me. Because I have noticed, not drinking is real easier…

Spring is just around the corner and I’m here for it! For me, spring symbolizes growth, optimism and possibility: inactive trees begin to bloom, the days become longer that winter is being, and everything is more vibrant and alive! For our last opalhouse designed with Jungalow Collection, I wanted to bring that same energy to all designs. This collection is full of bold color, botanical motifs and playful patterns. The inspiration behind this fall was “an artist loft”, so you will see a lot from my original art splashed in a bright and aerated space that we believe that any…
