So, we’ve come to the end of 2020 and I’ve been reflecting a bit on how my writing went this year. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been a writer for the past 20 years (since I was 15)… and I don’t just mean typing out quick blog posts like I do here, […] Read more…
When most people think of Art Nouveau they think of art by Alphonse Mucha, the Czech illustrator who popularized the Art Nouveau movement in the late 1800s. The style is known for it’s elegant and flowing nature-inspired details with both organic and geometric elements. It’s one of my favorite eras of art I think, the […] Read more…
Tarot cards have been a part of my self-care routine for about 4 years now, and though I only had one deck at first, during the last year, and especially during this year’s pandemic, I’ve been collecting a fair few more. I’ve been posting mini reviews on Instagram, but I’ve been meaning to create a […] Read more…
The independently published magazine, Plants are Magic, is a new obsession of mine. This magazine celebrates botanical creativity and the human relationship with plants. It is full of interviews, stories, recipes and craft tutorials, and beautiful imagery. It is published by Rebecca Desnos, a natural dyer and writer in the UK. I absolutely love what […] Read more…

Do you suffer from stress? I’m betting that many of you would nod in agreement to that question. I do too. Chronic stress, with a side of anxiety, and the occasional dash of panic attack. I know that life isn’t going to suddenly become void of all stress-triggers, so I do what I can to […] Read more…
The time for gift giving is upon us and I have a fantastic recommendation for the perfect holiday gift. You guys know I don’t just recommend anything that comes my way — I have to really like it to give my stamp of approval and feel a certain level of excitement to recommend it to others.

I was skeptical at first. But now that I’ve tried Natural Shilajit for more than a month now, I can honestly say that you should give it a try! I was pleasantly surprised by this powerhouse mineral source and it has become a daily part of my self-care rituals. Shilajit has been used for thousands […] Read more…
Happy New Year! I’m starting off 2018 with something a bit different, but hopefully useful. I’m sharing the planners I’ve chosen to use this year to organize my daily life. Last year I tried the whole bullet journal thing and it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t have time to draw in all the […] Read more…
