We are living in some wild times as I have no doubt everyone is feeling. 2020 has been absolutely nuts, with the forefront being COVID-19 & it’s global spread. With shutdowns, quarantines, mandates and more, there may be some curiosity as to why my boyfriend, Zach, and I decided to take such a big...
The Pursuit of Authenticity
Many of us are on our own pursuit of authenticity, and for those of us who have begun this pursuit – we know it is no easy feat. & for those beginning it, know you are not alone in thinking how friggin’ hard this sh!t is. Bubble bursting: you will not, and can not,...
Stop Waiting Until You’re “Ready”
Here’s the thing: there’s no such thing as being “ready.” I’m talking 100% READY to do whatever it is you’re waiting to be ready for. If you wait until that point you’ll never get there. There will always be something else for you to do, or plan, or think about, etc. You’ll find a...

Hot Baths: Soaking up the Benefits
The older I’ve gotten, the less baths I’ve taken. I feel as though this is the case for many people. As the pace of life picks up and responsibilities grow, there just isn’t enough time for a bath. If you’re looking for quick and clean, a shower is the best route. But a bath...
