Yup, we’re going there today. On a topic that I get asked soooo very often, which I guess isn’t surprising given the fact that most of you in this community are women, and women who are wanting to get more educated about their bodies, their health, and wanting to learn and feel more empowered about […]

So many things about life are seasonal…. or at least feel better when they are. When we have little change-ups in our food, our daily routines, our self-care, our habits, etc.  The older I get, the more I’m learning that this is true about skincare and makeup, too. My skin needs to be nourished in […]

Let’s talk boundaries. They’re the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves, and also the most difficult.  Why? Because setting boundaries means putting our own emotional peace, margin, and mental health ahead of what everyone else in your life is asking of you.  ….. Which can be really, really (really!) hard. For women, I’ve noticed […]

If I had a cup of matcha for every time I said yes to something (or someone) in the past, when I really wanted to say no… ooph, I’d be swimming in a green pool. It’s a hard thing for people pleasers (both active and recovering) everywhere. Right? You’re having a busy week and someone […]

Have you ever made your own DIY beauty & skincare products? If not, I 10/10 recommend because not only is it sustainable, relaxing and affordable…. it’s also kinda fun?! And it doesn’t take nearly as much time as you might expect. As long as you have a couple simple, key ingredients, you’re all set— and […]

I think it’s time for a little SRH summer reads book club moment! Because (I know for me) when life gets crazy or unpredictable, that escaping for a short walk with my earbuds playing an audiobook, or reading a few pages from an actual book before bed can help me unwind and let go of […]

So, today I want to talk SLEEP. Why? Because we live in this always-on, always-up, always plugged-in world… and it can really take it’s toll  on us, even if we don’t realize. This past year, especially so, where there’s never been more screen time, more time at home, and more reasons than ever that we […]

Quarantine life = why even bother getting ready? As a new mom who’s worked from home for years at this point, trust me. I get it. There’s a thrill in not getting ready at all, especially in the beginning. Especially when you’re saving so much time by not. EXCEPT that after a few weeks (like […]

How are you doing? Like, really? I know it feels a little crazy out there right now.  We all feel it.  And today, I just kept thinking one thing: that its OK to feel all of these feelings….AND, in the same breath: to keep searching for daily little joys and finding the light. It’s an […]

If you’re feeling all the feelings that I know are swirling from the unknown that is covid-19, I hear you. It’s hard. In my own time at home with my little fam during “social distancing” though, I’m choosing to trust in this. To trust God and the universe, that they’ve got us. That we will […]

Mm, the most wonderful time of the year. The time  with the most cheer and the happiest celebrations. And a lot of them: epic gatherings, parties, the best goodies, heart-lifting times spent with family and friends. The truth is this: it’s a high energy and high output time, no matter what life season you’re in. […]

Right around this time of year, there is always a day where it hits.  When all of a sudden, overnight: the mornings are chiller, and a little darker and quieter. The sun sets earlier. Sunny days still happen, but with less warmth to your bones. Don’t get me wrong, Fall is such a beautiful season, […]
