Welcome to my first love letter! My intention is to spread science, stories, and some Stella perspective on how to amplify your awesomeness at work, home, and everywhere in between.

I love this time of year—it's the perfect opportunity to let go and re-set. Of course, most of us associate “resolutions” with the New Year, and for a lot of people, resolutions have a bad connotation. They see them as an opportunity for failure instead of success. If that sounds familiar, let me help you reframe the way you view resolutions with these three attitude-altering tips:

According to the National Institute of Health’s website, there are over 1 billion cases of the common cold annually in the United States. And with reports from the FDA about the potential dangers of some popular over-the-counter remedies to shorten the length of one’s cold, what is a poor, sniffling, sneezing person to do to combat their illness? 

2012 is here, and many people like to begin a new year with a list of resolutions: lose weight, quit smoking cigarettes, get a better job, find a great relationship.

We are so thankful to all of you who contributed to our Indiegogo campaign. We’ve learned a ton of valuable lessons in the process of fundraising, and will be sharing more about that experience soon.
