Your thirties are a weird time. You’re a full-fledged adult, but somehow you still don’t always feel like one. You feel like you should be further in life, yet people constantly remind you that there’s still so much life left to live. It’s this strange in-between stage where you feel […]
Vintage Womanhood Rituals I’m Bringing Back Into My Life
When I was reading Women Who Run with the Wolves, I felt a deep sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. A time when people existed with intention. When everyday rituals carried meaning, and even the smallest moments of the day felt sacred. I think that’s why memories from the […]
The Slow Sunday Ritual: Reclaiming Rest in a Productive World
I feel like there has been an attack on weekends, and life in general, where we are constantly being pushed to be productive or do something productive at all times. A perfect example of this is the “Sunday Reset.” I’m not against a Sunday reset. I think starting the week […]

The Tiny Habit That Changed How I Read
When I was younger, it was nothing for me to finish a book in a weekend. I’d get completely lost in the fantasy, the characters, the world, and honestly, I still do, just differently now. These days I listen to more audiobooks. I can scroll, do dishes, clean, or even […]

One thing I appreciate about slow living is that it’s not an all-or-nothing mindset. With the way the world is set up, we tend to believe we have to do everything: work out, hit 10k steps, read, cook, clean, stay on top of laundry, every single day. But that’s not […]
