What it’s all about
Leslie Karen is a blog dedicated to women who are forever curious, passionate and don’t believe in limits. I love DIY’ing and trying to figure out how to do things, traveling, designing interiors, finding good restaurants, fashion and reading. Basically just about anything creative and artistic. I spent all of my adult years in the finance/marketing world professionally (except for two stints in the nightclub and restaurant business), but always loved the creative arts.
I want women to feel their most beautiful, creative, passionate, adventurous and self-loved. Leslie Karen is all about showing women how they can re-imagine their lives.
I get so excited interacting with creative and artistic people. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s never failed anybody. Each week I will take you with me as I explore all things. I invite you along on this exciting journey with me and we’ll figure it out together.
We will explore Creative Design together:
-
Creatively Design your Home
-
Creatively Design your Work
-
Creatively Design your Relationship
-
Creatively Design your Life
Fun Facts
- I looooove Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups but only after they’ve been refrigerated.
- My first car was an orange Volkswagen Beetle with a broken gas gauge and I only ran out of gas once…haha

- I prefer mountains/lakes over beaches/oceans
- Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had a corn cob phobia so I always cut my corn off the cob.
I am based in Atlanta, GA and live in a fixer-upper with my rescue pit mix dog, Domi, who I’m obsessed with.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.

Holiday Gift Guide – 50 Stocking Stuffers You’ll Want to Give this Holiday
Stockings are my jam, meaning I’m particularly good at coming up with great stocking stuffers. A lot of people are always stumped as to what to put in a stocking and I say anything goes really. Just try to be creative. I tend to go by a few rules if you’re interested. Number one is that of course it’s small enough to fit in a stocking. Number two is to keep the costs down or it can get really pricey. There’s plenty of places to get inexpensive gifts, you just have to take your time and search. The trick is to keep the gifts thoughtful and special for each person.
Holiday Gift Guide – 54 Pet Ideas for the Dogs in Your Life
If you’re new here, that’s my dog Domi. Her full name is Daisy Domague from a character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh in the movie Hateful Eight. If you know, you know. I bet you’re wondering how I got myself in this predicament. Well, it all started with the pandemic and I was at home watching all of those sad dog commercials with the abused animals. I have always loved dogs, but I had a long commute to work (an hour) and I knew having a dog was a big responsibility. I didn’t want her to have to be at home for 9 hours plus Monday through Friday and putting her in doggy daycare never entered my mind at that point.
Holiday Gift Guide – 48 Cozy and Warm Gifts for any Woman in Your Life
I decided to do a gift guide of warm & cozy items for women because, frankly, “pandemic wear” is still a thing as far as I’m concerned although it’s called “slow living fashion” now and encompasses your whole lifestyle. But whatever it’s called, I think it’s here to stay and every woman loves something cozy against her skin as well as making her home warm and inviting. Think multiple textures and neutral colors, but you don’t always have to follow the rules. Pops of color are welcome too.
