Full Moon Rituals

October 11, 2022

In the last year I’ve gotten really into following the cycles of the moon. Not because I think that moon magic will all of a sudden make my deepest wishes come true, but because it’s creates this natural rhythm within my life that allows me to check in and feel really grounded. The same kind of feeling I get in a calm and cozy home. For those who are new to lunar cycles, they happen every 29 days where we wat[...]

Thoughts Are Seeds

August 23, 2022

As you well know by now, I started gardening this year. The process of taking this small organic matter that you would never take a second look at, pressing it into the heart of the earth, and then loving it for days on end, is pure magic. I go out to my garden beds every day, checking on them, talking to them, nourishing them, waiting to see what they’ll become. It’s a rhythm that has been feeding my soul. B[...]

The Problem with Convenience

August 2, 2022

Instant gratification doesn’t just come with watching the latest TikTok video, or running through a fast food drive through to grab dinner. It covers almost every aspect of our lives from 2-day shipping, to binge watching tv shows, to having our groceries delivered to us. It’s no wonder that living in the slow lane is so hard for us all when our society is built in the fast lane. As I’ve tended to my garden[...]

Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance - The Thought
Self-care

What’s Wearing You Down is “The Thought”

June 14, 2022

In the last 6-months the book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, has come up a handful of times. From different people, in different contexts this book has been referenced and it felt like time that I should read it. Written over 50 years ago, its philosophy and thought are amazingly 100% relevant today. Each day I read a small section in order to digest all that’s being offered but there was one line[...]

The Problem With Self Care

June 7, 2022

A hundred years ago there was less. Less distractions, less to-dos, less toys that filled up our days trying to convince us we were saving time. There was however more. More connection, more community, more time spent in the areas that mattered. This, I know, is looking at the past with rose colored glasses, but on some level it’s completely true. The more I witness technology and our need to do more, the more[...]

Born Pretty

May 26, 2022

Beauty is pain. I'm not sure where I first heard these words but it most likely came from my mother. I would later hear it from my grandmother, sister, mentors, and almost any women who went to great efforts to look her best. Even today I hear the words thrown around as we wear heels that blister and ache, or dresses that show too much, or hold everything in, to the point we might explode. Across generations and[...]

Slow Down With a Cup of Tea

March 23, 2022

Tea and croissants (or any other tea time baked good) are my eucharist. It's the thing I give to almost every person that walks into my home. Its the way I heal those who aren't feeling well mentally or physically and how I, myself, come back to my body when the day just starts to feel like too much. I've often heard that the art of making tea is a meditation all of its own. This is where the iconic Japanese tea[...]

The Perfect Bath: My Go-To Ingredients

January 21, 2022

After my laptop is closed and I’ve put all the lids back on my paints the anticipation grows because I know what tonight holds for me. An hour of alone time with a good book, a subtle playlist, and a bath filled with ingredients to heal and nourish. My baths are not your childhood bath time (although I’m not against so fun toys to play with in there!) Each week I combine a variety of ingredients to make the p[...]

What Does Self-Care Actually Mean?

January 17, 2022

I remember the moment I found out the company I worked for would be closing its doors. It was the height of Covid and the last 7-days had been the hardest I’d ever worked. I was overcome with grief that the dream of this company would come to an end and also, so much relief. The truth was, I was dying inside and my body and mind couldn’t continue on like this for much longer, I was beyond burnout. We often do[...]

Plastic-Free Products For Your Bathroom

December 10, 2020

In July, I started a new journey to living more consciously and making more sustainable purchases. Part of this was to remove as much plastic from my life as possible, especially one-use plastic. In the world we live in, going completely plastic-free is not only next to impossible but to do it is a huge financial burden which I wasn't up for. When I do get the chance, however, I choose to buy products that are susta[...]
