Life of Lezure is written by April Silfies—mother, wife, San Diegan, leopard-print enthusiast, and all-around lover of interior design. Personal motto: there’s no such thing as too many throw pillows. I wanted to create a place to share ideas about enriching our lives and our looks. Once I became a mother, my looks weren’t my main focus for, admittedly, the first time in my life. Stretch pants every day. Baggy shirts. Crazy hair. And, talking to other mothers, I heard them confessing the same. In my career as a medical writer and editor, I have given lectures on the importance of dressing well at work. The idea is to dress like you’re worth the money you want your clients to pay. Respect yourself so that others are more likely to do the same. I have also lectured on feng shui. I’m borderline obsessed with organizing—everything must have a place!—and home décor in a way that promotes creativity. I needed an outlet, partly because my husband does not share my love for home décor, but also because I found that my friends do share this love. We like to talk about life’s details. We like crafty things. And we fricking LOVE throw pillows! But we’re all so damn busy. So, the idea was to carve out little bits of time for ourselves. To recognize the gifts and experiences the world has to offer that we so often overlook. To give women (and like-minded men) something that might make their day a tad lighter and brighter.
