GPS for the Soul

I was in NY last week for NY Circuit. I was invited to Arianna Huffington‘s house for dinner, where Arianna announced she will soon launch "GPS for the Soul," a free app which will give people guidance on how to live a balanced, healthy, and happy life. She wanted to know if her guests, all of whom are world-class overachievers, would like to share their views on how they relax and balance their everyday life even with their demanding and hectic schedules. I gravitated right away to the title, “GPS For The Soul.” It hit me straight on! Whoa!!! It sounded exactly like what I could have used during the "soul-searching" journey I was on the past 6 years after I separated from my husband. The solution to my journey, however, did not have a title until that evening  -  "GPS for the Soul" just fits. So, I shared my story about how chaotic and stressful my married and professional lives were then, and how my life today is so well balanced, fulfilling, and happy with a much more successful professional career.

Summer Reverie

Hello again!

For those of you who don't remember me, my name is Nik and I work on the graphics for chanluu.com and chanluu.jp.

My favorite thing working on the website is getting behind-the-scenes looks at upcoming launches, especially Man Luu!

I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak preview at some of the things coming up in our Father's Day launch on May 22nd!

This launch is a perfect mix of darks and neutrals with complementary splashes of color that will go well with anything.

The blue opal single and skull wrap are my favorites by far and I may have to snag one before they sell out!
