Life Should Be Easy

Make your life easier with advice that embraces who you are. We take today's home & life advice and show you whether or not it will work for you. Every weekday.

FIGS, BAY & WINE
The Easy Way to Eat Local

Leave it to a Smart Freedom • NTP to find the easy way to eat local. A gifted writer and trained chef, Amanda Darrach Filippone embraces simple, unadorned cooking with delicious results. New recipes every Monday, and throughout the week.

 

THE EMPTY IN-BOX
More Work ... More Play?

Follow a Classic Freedom • SFJ as she searches for her Holy Grail — an empty "in-box." Is it actually possible to put two days into one? Can she work more and play more? Find out every Tuesday. 

 

PIGMENT
An Insider's Look at the World of Makeup

Funs are born knowing how to sieze the day and Rebecca Perkins, head make-up artist for Law & Order SVU, and a Fun Freedom • SFP, gives you what she grabs with her insider's blog to the world of make up. Wednesdays.

 

THE LOUSY HOUSEWIFE DOES
Figs, Bay, & Wine

This summer, Organic Freedom • NFP  Katie McMenamin Sabo will attempt to reproduce Amanda's awesome recipes from Figs, Bay, & Wine. See if she can do it! Thursdays this Summer.

 

It's easy for an Organic Structure • NFJ to find meaning in their daily life, and Tracy Zalit Davidson's musings on the beautiful distraction that is life do just that. Ahh. Fridays.
What Are PixieTips?

PixieTips are helpful tidbits of advice designed to make your life easier.

Using Myers-Briggs personality type theory, we show you how our home & life advice will work for your personality type.

Whether it's a quick recipe, a cool service, or some sage advice — we explain who the tip will work best for, how it will work for the rest of us, and why it might be helpful for you.

Latest PixieTips

This Week's PixieTips

Sharks two weeks in a row? (Cue the Jaws soundtrack!) But we've also got a summertime cassoulet, makeup palettes, job fairs, and controlling your sister, oops we mean inspiring her to get things done! Ah family time.

Last Week's PixieTips
We've got summer soup, the best SPF, Tracy's job search and Kelly's greatest fear — sharks in the swimming pool. Ah, life is good.

Latest Posts
Summer Cassoulet
Just the fact that Amanda calls rain "The Dark 'n Stormies" means you must try her summer cassoulet. It's the perfect antidote to summer thundershowers.

Imposing Structure on Other People
Can it actually be done? After four years of working with Kate and 37 years of being her little sister, Kelly would know!

Pro Palettes
Having lots of different colors to choose from all in one place is the height of convenience. Plus there's so much to experiment with! Our makeup expert lets us know which palettes are the best.

Bayhead, NJ
Time to scrap The Lousy Housewife does Figs Bay & Wine. Just too much to do and too little time. SO, it's travel log time. Bayhead, NJ is an underrated, quaint little seaside town perfect for an impromptu vacation.

The Sharks Are Circling
Tracy goes to a job fair. Gulp. A slice of the cultural milieu that I never want to have to experience first hand. Thankfully she braves it for us.
