    Is it Possible You’re Getting Too Much Self-Help Advice?

    September 30, 2020 /

    For quite a while now, I have been on my own personal development journey. I have devoured books, articles, and podcasts on the areas of personal development that interest me. I have tried to curate my social media feeds to include as many inspiring people as I can. But there have been times when I have felt overwhelmed, not knowing what I should do first and that’s usually when my motivation tanks.

    Blogs I am Loving

    July 29, 2020 /

    While we’ve been in lockdown, I have fallen back in love with reading blogs! Blogs have always been a source of inspiration for me and are of course what influenced me into wanting to start a blog of my own! Here are the ones I have been loving recently! 1.      Jojotastic – This is a recent discovery. She is a Seattle based lifestyle blogger and I LOVE her decorating style! 2.      Wit & Delight – This feels like such a grown-up blog. The topics discussed range from career development, interiors & décor, to food & entertainment, and more! I find the articles very insightful and enjoyable! 3.      The Every Girl – This is…

    Blogs That Keep Me Inspired

    July 30, 2017 /

    When I am feeling uninspired there are certain blogs that I gravitate towards to help get me out of a creative rut. I love scrolling back and reading their older posts or posts that I have read and reread tons of times. It feels like a breath of fresh air read the content these ladies write and I hope you love them as much as I do!

It’s your reminder that caring for yourself doesn’t have to take all day — just a few intentional minutes. 🌿

Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that m Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that my dad used to take him to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. It was a beautiful Fall day and we were able to get a glut of mushrooms! It was so peaceful out there and I could tell why my dad liked to go out there.

I loved getting out into the woods and spending time with Jake. It helped calm some of the anxiety I've been feeling.

**Warning** My dad taught Jake how to find the chantrelle mushrooms but also always taught me what to look for when foraging for them. Forage at your own risk. Its always best to go out with someone who knows what they're doing and knows what to look for. Only forage what you are 100% sure of!***
