I bought a house! Finally, after over a year of searching for something perfect, I found it.
Sisterly Love
I am so fortunate to have an amazing little sister! She is one of the most constant parts of my life and is one of my biggest supporters. In college, it was really weird to be without her and without people surrounding me who were strong, smart and that I felt comfortable with. Enter Gamma Phi Beta.
Lovely Lavender
I don't know why, but I have been in love with lavender lately. Generally, I find the scent to be a bit too strong for me but I have been obsessed! Not only does lavender have a beautiful scent but it also has health benefits.
Dreaming of Travel
As summer continues to pass, I am getting a bigger and bigger desire to travel. As I have gotten older, I have gotten more interested in traveling to places I haven't been before. Granted, I am an anxiety bug so the actual follow through is challenging, but it is fun to imagine exploring different places. I am fortunate enough to be traveling a little this summer but I am also spending my days dreaming of new destinations.
House Hunting
I am in a really fortunate position of being able to purchase a home! This is really the first opportunity I have to chose something that is perfectly me. I am wanting a home that is long-term, something that I love and can always come back to, even if I move away for a little while. However, as pretty much everyone knows, it is a sellers market right now. I have gone through so much heartbreak and emotional ups and downs, all while my poor parents are trying to support me.
Family, Friends, Life, and Such
It’s been a bit since I have posted so I figured I would write a little bit of an update!
Fri-Yay!
Happy Friday! During the duration of Covid my mom would send a Friday update around her business. Last week was her final installment, after about 2 years, and I have decided that I am going to try my hand at a Friday update this week! So let’s see how this goes…
Reframe
I have been blogging for about 2 ½ months which is kind of wild. It certainly doesn't feel like it has been that long… However, in that time I have tried to navigate what this actually looks like for me. It’s interesting because I started all of this thinking that I wanted to stay surface level, focusing on design, clothes, life and style, things like that. But as I have continued writing, I find myself enjoying spilling my thoughts. It has been relieving to have a place to write about anything and everything, not just surface level but things that I am experiencing, thinking and feeling in the moments in which they are affecting me
Cruisin’ the Ocean Blue
Well, my mom, sister and I did a crazy thing… we decided to go on a last minute weekend cruise and oh my goodness, it was the best thing we could have done for ourselves! The whole thing felt so normal which, after a long, off balanced 2 years, it was honestly very emotional to … Continue reading Cruisin’ the Ocean Blue
The Beautifully Mundane
With February coming to an end and March beginning, I am dying for the start of spring. I find these months of January- March, and the beginning of April, to be so gloomy. The weather isn’t great, there are no leaves in the trees, no flowers have started blooming yet, the fat hibernating squirrels are still asleep… it just feels blah. One of the trends that I have seen floating around social media is ‘romanticize your life’. The idea behind this is to make the little things in life feel and look beautiful. I go through phases where I romanticize parts of my life but generally, I find the whole thing exhausting and time consuming.
