Hello! Welcome to Choosy, a weekly newsletter about homes, design and how we live. Below you’ll find more about the newsletter, a little bit about me, and why I think you should subscribe. Thanks for being here.

About me
My name is Mary Grace Granados and I’m a writer, homebody, design-lover, bookworm and home chef. Growing up, I loved to read lifestyle magazines and design books and always dreamed about creating my own home.
I have bylines in The Dallas Morning News, D Home and D Weddings. My work has covered everything from luxury real estate to farm-to-table food, design and decor to entrepreneurship, business and lifestyle. To read some of my previous work, visit my website.
I currently work as a writer for The Dallas Morning News covering homes and gardens, human interest pieces and other fun stories. When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, cooking, searching for antiques, watching old movies and writing this newsletter.
How will I get the newsletter?
Choosy goes out on Tuesday mornings each week and will arrive directly in your inbox. If you’re having trouble finding it, check your spam and promotions folders. And if that doesn’t work, email me at choosy@marygracegranados.com and we’ll sort it out.
What does “Choosy” mean?
I picked the title for the newsletter because I started writing it to help me process how and why we make the decisions that shape our lives. To me, choosiness conveys a positive meaning. Every “yes” to something is a “no” to something else — be it how we spend our time, the company we keep, the items we purchase and so on. We are constantly flooded with endless opportunities to do something, be something or buy something. At the end of the day, we still have to choose for ourselves.
That’s the theme of this newsletter: choosing. Every life decision matters, big or small.
It’s good to be picky.
Do I have to pay to subscribe?
Right now, Choosy is a free newsletter and I do not charge for subscriptions. When you sign up, you may see a “pledge” form on which you can indicate how much you’d be willing to pay to get the newsletter each week. There’s no obligation here and you can always skip it.
Down the line, I may consider adding a subscription feature and building out more frequent content.
I do use an affiliate links program when sharing some of the products in my newsletter. If you purchase something through a link in my newsletter, I may earn a commission at no cost to you. Not all of the brands and products that I share partner with the affiliate links program, so not all links will generate that commission. I only include links to products that I genuinely like and would (or have) bought myself.
