Some Thoughts on Turning 30
So I know this is going to sound very basic of me… but I’ve somehow found myself watching “Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami” again for the first time in 10 years. It gives me so much nostalgia and brings me back to another time in life that maybe subconsciously I’ve wanted to reflect on a…
How to Find Unconditional Happiness
I’m not sure about you, but happiness being “conditional” is not an idea I subscribed to consciously. And yet, I’ve managed to make it so conditional. When I’ve imagined what my life would be like, it included very specific things happening in a very particular order for me to be happy with how it all…
How I Practice Self-Love
Two weeks ago, when I first went to write about this topic, I was in a MOOD. It felt like everything I did or attempted to do went wrong somehow- like the whole world was working against me- but, of course, this wasn’t the case. It was just my mind. My current outlook, a product…
The Beginning of My Hair Growth Journey
I’m at the beginning of my hair growth journey (the beginning of actively trying to make it grow, anyway). I asked you guys on IG stories last week for your best hair growth tips, and, by no surprise, this was a popular topic with many different approaches. Thank you for all of your incredibly helpful…
Letting Go of Perfection
This past weekend, while out to dinner, Dan and I got to talking about goals and dreams we hope to accomplish professionally. And I told him I felt guilty for not having made more money these past couple of years. One, because I want to be a contributing partner in this marriage, but two because…
22 Lessons I’m Taking Into 2023
2022 was an interesting one, to say the least. There were many challenges that came my way, but nothing so mind-blowingly life-altering that caused great suffering. Just challenges. Life stuff. Stuff that definitely knocked me down here and there, but ultimately I was (I AM) okay. More than okay. Because even through these challenges, I’m…
The Pain Can Only Be as Big as the Love
Right now, as I type, I am sitting on the foot of my bed- door shut and locked, the sound of the fan spinning right above me, small pieces of my hair swipe my cheeks as the wind picks them up. I’m looking out my window and it’s a bit cloudy. It feels cozy in…
My Current (Clean) Skincare Routine
Okay so it’s been a while since I last updated my skincare routine, but instead of deleting the old post, I renamed it the clean and budget friendly routine. It’s still a great low-maintenance and cost-effective system that worked for me for a long time, but it’s good to switch things up now and then.…
Building a Life in a New City
As many of you know by now, Dan and I moved from San Diego to Denver in October of 2019, which means that this month marks 3 years here. And it’s really weird to think about how that’s well over the time I spent living in SD, yet, so much happened there. I got my…
Living in Grief and Gratitude
I shared recently on IG how I’ve been hearing about so much loss and suffering lately. Friends who have lost family members, complete strangers who’ve lost a loved one, humans and animals suffering at the hands of others, or from neglect. It makes me angry. And it also makes me feel like curling up in…
