This is my website, Boho Hippy Homes about crafting loving homes on a variety of topics ranging from budgeting tips to food, interior design and relationship advice. I write, edit, research, procure and design all of the content on my site, as well as the content strategy and sighting all sources and SEO research.
I started my site in 2017 under the handle, No Label Livings, where I explored the human condition, until 2022 when I changed it to Second Time ‘Round Boho Homes on home making. In January of 2024 I settled on Boho Hippy Homes where I refined the format that focuses on two, biweekly posts on a rotating theme.
The first is a 2K word post on the lessons I’ve learned through an experience I had, and the advice I have to offer from it. The second is a shorter, 750 – 1K word post with practical tips on how to implement my advice. Bohohippyhomes.org
This article focuses on how retail companies’ business model is to keep the consumer broke and in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, so their products are more desirable to those who can’t afford them.
The more they see their favorite celebrity sporting the current trend, the greater the urge is to go out and buy whatever they think will make them feel like part of the crowd. Or as I referred to it in the article, the “It place”.
In this article I explore the dynamics between power and privilege, and how it effects those of us who do, and do not have it. This was something that was clearly defined for me while I was working as a social worker in Dorchester on Methadone Mile.
In it I use my experience from working with the underserved, chronically homeless and drug addicted population to point out the stark divide between those who have power and privilege, and those who do not.
I wrote the above news article for H-W News, a local paper located in Hamilton-Wenham Massachusetts, a town North of the greater Boston area in January of 2025. The assignment was a 575 words at final edit, and two week deadline.
The article was on the opening of a new flower shop just off the main street. I conducted multiple interviews, took photos and did research on the subject. The article was edited twice and turned in two days ahead of schedule. The chief editor of the H-W News, Taylor Bradford’s contact info is editor@H-W-News.com.
I wrote this review for a local business, Unpacked Living, about their products with a focus on their refill station. It was not only a product review, but also a recipe on how to use their products to make eco friendly laundry detergent. I did all of the research, edits, procured all photos and sited all sources.
