Some days I’m a total Gemini (I’m actually a Cancer… but…)… there are days when it feels like I have two distinct personalities that are battling one another. I chose this outfit on one such day.
Half of my personality was screaming: grunge! Comfort! Express your inner tomboy!
The other half was seductively purring: glam… gold… elegance.
I didn’t have time to wait around + see who won the argument… so I listened to both of them.
I have not been the kind of person who is prone to missing people.
I’ve been a trust-in-the-bigger-plan type of person + I accept that people have wonderfully complicated paths + purposes that cause them to come + go and jump around this beautiful planet of ours.
Days of isolation in the countryside
Filled with more inspiration than togetherness
The bite of the champagne
Gives the books new meaning
Lonely enchantment is broken
By the sound of tires on the gravel drive

Inspiration is vital. Here are some images that currently inspire me.
Most of you are aware… but for those of you who aren’t regulars on this site… I am a skincare addict.
I have tons of tips, tricks, + favorite products… but the FIRST STEP in my routine (and the step that I swear by for a steady glow) is this device.

Drumroll please… it became available to the public TODAY!
I always want you to have current information on the technology available to you (especially natural technology that doesn’t involve injections or fillers).
This is as current as you can get.
I use this rad device.
What does it do?

Today I woke up in a grateful, happy, + reflective mood. I made myself a matcha latte and sat on the couch in my new home.
A thought hit me. A simple thought. That thought was: “This is my life.”
It was a thought filled with wonder + disbelief + gratitude + awe. I have been hustling, grinding, + burning the candle at both ends for the majority of my life. I did this to become the woman that the young woman on the left in the photo above needed.
I cannot believe that there is a DECADE between those two photos. The change that has happened between 22 and 32 has been astounding. As my “insides” changed while I focused on my mindset, my “outside” also changed with it. Personal growth is more tangible + obvious than most of us realize.
I attribute my personal growth to the following things:
