A girl who loves fashion, an intense passion for organization and a love for writing like no other!

Today is your day!

Here we are…

The road has been very long…but I made it today 5/24/2020!

After creating kourture in 2012…today I go full force and begin!

What I have learned…is there is going to be many obstacles along the way, but if you can see, feel and envision your dream…you can do it!

I have realized that my envision of kourture will not be able to encompass all of my passion…in which that it why there will be two divisions of kourture…

and GlowingHealthyLifestyle.com.

kourture will be where my visions play in black & white with my love affair of coffee, fashion and inspiring words.

Glowing Healthy Lifestyle will be where my visions play in color with my love affair of beauty, healthy, fashion and organization.

I so look forward to this next chapter in my novel of life…letting my true passion of writing flow endlessly in an authentic, transparent and unapologetic way.

I hope to inspire, encourage and share thoughts, ideas and words to others…sharing, creating and connecting with others.

We are all in this world together and why not better in sharing in common interests!

Please join me in following my blogs at www.kourture.com and www.GlowingHealthyLifestyle.com and of course all of the social media outlets listed on my sites!

I post daily on Facebook and Instagram, so be sure to follow me there :)!

Cheers to the struggle, Cheers to the HARD dedication, Cheers to NEVER giving up and Cheers to always leaving hope as my anchor!

engagement & coffee

There is nothing like a flawless diamond, glitter and coffee that starts my day with happiness…every single day!

The feeling of getting engaged stays with me every single day…as the love I have for the Polish Prince is a love that I have never had before and is truly a one-in-a-million lucky love story that grows day by day!

For those that know us…we can be so opposite, as the Polish Prince is a social butterfly and as the years have gone by for myself…I am more of “couple hours of fun” is just the right amount of fun and I choose my fun wisely to say the least! For him…any day, time, event, etc. is a place to be. For me, not so much…home is where I like to be with a night of fun every week or so is just perfect!

Ravoli ::: my co-pilot, My best friend and a love like no other…

Ravoli…the orange tabby I always wanted and that changed my world forever! He was the ultimate co-pilot that went everywhere I went. He was my whole world, the reason to come home everyday, the reason to love life…he was my everything for 17 AMAZING years!

Ravoli came in to my world with my beloved Tinkerbell, my 1st kitty living on my own! Sadly, Ravoli being a male, wasn’t always in love with Tink like I was LOL!

Tinkerbell was my long haired, drop dead gorgeous, rescued baby that loved me like no other. She never left my side and when I had my migraines, she would always come sit on my head until they were relieved. Her love was a very unique one-of-a-kind unbreakable bond. I miss her everyday, as she passed June of 2017. p.s. she will be featured too down the road on the blog too :)!

I had Ravoli’s name chosen before I ever met him. I got him from a farm in Joliet, IL and from the moment I picked him up, he attached himself to me and never let go!

He was my EVERYTHING! I don’t think I have loved anything more than him! I miss him every SINGLE day! My heart feels a sadness that is just broken. We had an agreement, we would live to be 87 together and then we would call it a day LOL. But, on September 13th, 2019 he was tired and had to give up the fight.

The Polish Prince and I miss him so very much, but for me it’s an unbearable pain. They say time cures all, but I call bull shit and it doesn’t. The time may pass, but the emptiness will never leave.

Note to Self : the world needs you!

Every day I do not wake and feel the passion unfortunately. Every day I do not feel the motivation. Every day I cannot always find my happiness.

As kourture unwraps and you follow my stories…you will see my transparency and my need to share with others that not being okay is OK! I want it to be known that it is actually OKAY to “not feel it” maybe that day, that week or maybe even months and ways to work through it and overcome it!

We live in a world where the need to appear “happy” and “everything is so perfect” is so overwhelming and to be quite honest…annoying!

So as the story unfolds, stay with me and enjoy the transparency!

Coffee, a love affair…

One of my greatest loves…coffee!!!

My love obsession with coffee comes from my father aka my hero, the best DAD ever and the man I watched growing up always beginning each day with coffee!

As life progressed it wasn’t until my 20’s that I fell in love with Starbucks and the love affair has never ended and I don’t foresee it ever ending!

Every day I wake and it is a complete must that I must create my latte before I can begin!

Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours…

When you look deep into my soul…it flows with Sex and the City.

When Sex and the City came out…it was like my life just came to light and I fell in love with Carrie and Mr. Big.

I think everyone can relate in some way or another to Sex and the City…and I personally relate to Carrie the most. We all have had our Mr. Big’s and after I finally found happily ever after with my Mr. Big…I shared with him my most treasured phrase…ever thine, ever mine, ever ours.
