More Than a Look: Living the Bohemian Life

You know something that irked me when I started my bohemian journey. Everything was linked to boho. When to me they are not the same although they are similar they are different at their core. Like the difference between perfume and perfume while they might be used interchangeably, they are […]

Your Home Is Your Sanctuary: Setting the Mood with Incense

I can’t say this enough: your home is your sanctuary. It’s where you rest your head after a long day, kick off your heels, and get to be gloriously, unapologetically yourself. The mood and energy of your space matter—because you deserve to live somewhere that doesn’t just look beautiful, but […]

Call Your Energy Back To You: How To Recover From Burnout

This past month—honestly, maybe even longer—I’ve been burnt out. My brain’s been foggy, I’ve had trouble sleeping, and all I’ve wanted are the “bad things”: chips, pizza, and naps, even after coffee. I knew something was off. Now, I don’t usually use this space to talk about real-world problems. I […]

The Moon-Soaked Fig Ritual: A Gut-Clearing, Energy-Rebalancing Practice for the Spiritually Inflamed

Lately, I’ve been feeling… off. You know the feeling: bloated for no reason, creatively flat, energetically congested. Not quite sick, but not well. Like my body is holding onto something it doesn’t know how to release. I turned to something that came to me in a dream (yes, truly)—a blend […]

Little Romance DIY: Wine Bottle Candle Holders

I love a place that looks and feels like a home. Don’t give me anything sterile or minimalistic—I need warmth, personality, and soul. I want a space that looks lived-in, not like a showroom. That’s why I love the idea of upcycling wine bottles into other items. I’ve used them […]

Cleansing and Renewing Thrifted Finds: A Ritual for Fresh Energy

Thrifting is such a fun experience. The thrill of the hunt, the high of discovering a gem, and the excitement of styling it in your home—it’s a whole flurry of emotion. Each piece gets a second life, another chance to bring joy. But I’m always a little leery of taking […]

How Do You Carry Your Energy? How Kate Spade Bags Challenge the Idea of Good Vibes

Scrolling lazily on my phone before bed, I came across a post on Threads—(do we call them “tweets” there? Still not sure)—where someone asked, “Y’all still buying Kate Spade? Didn’t she die in a horrible way? I don’t want to carry that energy.” At first glance, it felt like one […]

A Little Wine, A Little Nostalgia… and a Big Mistake

When you cultivate a life of peace, it’s nice. Your mornings are slow and intentional. Your coffee is a little sweeter, your wine a little smoother—everything is as it should be. But then there’s that little part of you that craves excitement, a story for the girls, something to appease […]

Dating for the Plot: When Casual Relationships Start to Feel Empty

Ok, we can talk, right? Like real talk? I’ve had good relationships and I’ve had bad ones. Believe it or not, the ones I enjoyed the most were often the ones with the most drama. I was never one to take relationships seriously. There was always a reason I got […]

The Myth of Self-Isolation: How I Learned Growth Requires Connection

In today’s culture, we idolize independence. We love to see people pick themselves up, dust off their boots, and get to work. The self-made hustler mentality is celebrated, and it has seeped into the self-help world. It’s almost expected to isolate ourselves to work on our personal growth. I did […]
