A Closer Look at Tolerance
Tolerance is something I’ve wanted to (attempt to) dissect for a long time. First of all, what exactly is tolerance? What do you picture when you hear that word? What feelings or experiences do you associate with it? Is tolerance something in yourself that you desire to have more of or strengthen, or do you […]

Challenging Imposter Syndrome: My Testimony, Mindset tips and Affirmations.
I have struggled with Imposter Syndrome since I can remember. I know this because my relationship with my accomplishments has always been and felt complicated.

My story and how this very important blog came about (feel free to skip if uninterested,) Recently I burned out— and the weirdest thing about it is how sudden and severely it seemed to have happened. I was carrying on how I usually do, (which tends to be a high energy output on its own, […]
Beauty Blog: My Current Skincare favorites
Let’s talk about skin care. It was only a few years ago that I had zero consideration of my facial skin care. Some history: I did have a run in my teenage years with some regular acne, so I experimented with some one-off products and cleansers I saw on TV commercials, typically promoted by the […]

What my breakups taught me-
I learned to love myself through adversity. And through loving myself, I have found a sort of love for others, as well. Love in understanding. Love in tolerance. Love in the letting go. I learned my interpersonal skills by method of crash and burn. I came into young adulthood lonely, confused and broken—daydreaming of romantic […]
Real Luxuries
There is an expectation that has been creeping in on us to provide as much proof as possible that we are doing well. What seems to speak well is luxury designer items, recognizably high ticket possessions, travel & high priced leisure, popularity, and very current representations of beauty. These items support our own sense of […]
The Importance of Stillness: Don’t build a life you are unable to enjoy.
I will endlessly work on myself. For better or for worse, I feel as though I will always be looking for the next repair, the next project. And the better I am, I believe, the better my life will be. I have always been in a hurry to be great, and that’s been a heavy […]
7 “side effects” of self growth.
There is so much beauty in becoming. The glow that softly illuminates from your deepest center, flows its way through you until it’s pink in your cheeks, glistening in your eyes.

BET ON YOU.
Uncertainty is not preferable. Okay, maybe it’s fine when there’s minimal chance of anything going wrong. Like, in a nice restaurant with an amazing dessert menu, you can confidently straighten up with a smirk and say, “surprise me.” Because you know, whether it’s the bread pudding, creme brulee, or tiramisu— you are going to be […]
meeting “the mark.”
How wonderful it has been to spend my twenties online, finding myself, building up, breaking down, changing and changing, all over again, in front of everyone. Just rebranding, if you will. The first half of my twenties were undeniably spent looking outward. Looking outward for guidance, looking outward for an example, looking outward for the […]

Twenty-seven.
Each day, I look down to see my small breasts where they usually are, the poke of my stomach, and these familiar skinny feet. And I remember it’s not just a dream, it is real, and this is who I am. I am a woman now, and not a new one either. I am twenty-seven, […]
