  • Solo Female Travel in Amsterdam: What I Loved, What I’d Skip & Why I’d Go Back

    March 5, 2026 / No Comments

    Solo female travel in Amsterdam is an absolute dream – and after four visits, I finally have the honest, unfiltered guide I wish I’d had the first time. I love this wonderful little city. It’s filled with darling narrow homes,…

  • Rebuilding My Routine One Slow Morning at a Time

    March 2, 2026 / No Comments

    This winter really knocked me out of my routine. Between a three-week sinus infection, the heaviness that always seems to come with winter, and starting my yoga teacher training, I felt completely out of my norm. Add in the fact…

  • What Happened When I Took a Year Away From Instagram

    February 26, 2026 / No Comments

    A year ago, Instagram, for me, wasn’t a healthy place. I would have extreme anxiety logging in, and yet I couldn’t tear myself away. I was anxious over everything: when someone sent me a video, when I was tagged, posting…

  • My Solo Trip to Amsterdam: First Impressions + Where I Stayed

    February 16, 2026 / No Comments

    What?! A travel post?? I know – it’s been a minute. But I recently realized I never actually wrote about many of the cities I visited when I quit my job three years ago, and since this blog doubles as…

  • Starting 200+ Hr Yoga Teacher Training

    February 12, 2026 / No Comments

    Doing something new and different is always a little scary. Telling people about it tends to make it more real. So, I’m mildly panicking while typing this out, but I’m also incredibly proud of myself because two weeks ago I…

  • Gentle Self-Care When You Catch a Winter Cold

    February 10, 2026 / No Comments

    I was supposed to have a post up on Monday, but instead I ended up with one of those head colds that absolutely takes you out. So today’s post is coming straight from bed, surrounded by TP and lemon ginger…

  • Homemade Pizza Night: A Simple Valentine’s Day at Home

    February 5, 2026 / No Comments

    This is kind of a funny little blog post for me because I never celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s not because it’s an absurd holiday (though… maybe a little). It’s mostly because no one really knows what they’re celebrating, which is…

  • Little Things I’m Excited About This Week

    February 2, 2026 / No Comments

    We’re going with a very old-school prompt this week, friends. I don’t know – the world feels so heavy all the dang time these days, and I hope you don’t mind. I’ll get back to my full-fledged blog posts next…

  • What’s in My Winter Toiletry Bag

    January 29, 2026 / No Comments

    I’ve been excited to write this post for a while because, to be frank, I’ve become a pro at packing since my boyfriend and I are all over the state all of the time. We’ve upped our domestic travel and…

  • My Default Coffee Order

    January 26, 2026 / No Comments

    Normally, I’m a tea drinker. You all know this – I’ve talked about it endlessly. I love my tea, especially blends from The Tea Spot (yes, I’m an affiliate and yes, I adore them). They’re women-owned, US-based, and have the…
