As I’ve been thinking about how to spend some “me time” today, I remembered I’ve been wanting to try the hygge lifestyle and a fika coffee break for a while.  Do you know the difference between hygge and fika? They are all the rage in the world of self care right now, so I thought […]

Who doesn’t love a good self care beach day?!  Today’s Bestie Finds celebrate that glorious waterside retreat capable of melting allllll the stress away.  Mmmhhmm, now that’s what I call self care! Whether you plan to visit the actual ocean this summer or simply a neighborhood lake, here are my recommendations for everything you need to […]

Hello, and happy Monday, my Besties!  If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (or even Pinterest), you may have already heard the news…I opened an Etsy shop full of self care printables that I hope you will love!  I think my favorite is the “what i like about you” printable stationary, pictured above.  I […]

Hello, hello!!  I’m so excited today because this post…as in the one you are currently reading is my 100th!!   Yay! I tend to fly by the seat of my pants sometimes and I know five months ago when I started this blog my loved ones were super excited for me, but they also maybe […]
