Power Up: My Go-To High-Protein Snacks for a Boost Anytime

September 5, 2024

The Power of Protein Is so very real. For so long I have taken protein for granted. In fact, when I started looking for ways to take my health and wellness to the next level, protein was always the go-to answer. “It will make you feel fuller.” “It will give you more energy.” “It willRead the Post

Your Fall Movie Guide is here. As I’ve mentioned before in this post, I love Fall. It’s my ultimate favorite. There is nothing like ending the day cuddled up on the couch watching a movie. Give me romance, give me the beautiful autumn colors, I want to see fall in the city, fall in theRead the Post

Hello September: Welcoming the new season.

September 3, 2024

Hello September

September has officially arrived… And if you’re like us, September 1st usually means it’s time to bust out the fall decoration box, light that fall scented candle (pumpkin apple from bath and body works is our fave) and turn on the Gilmore Girls. I love the seasons, each and every single one. But there isRead the Post

Fast forward… and now we’re here. Not hustling Fast forward… and now we’re here.
Not hustling. Not performing.
Just living a life that feels soft, slow, and mine.

Books I actually read.
Crafts that bring me joy.
Beach walks. Messy mornings.
Laughter. Quiet. Time that stretches.
It’s not perfect — but it’s real.

I’m not here to teach you how to do it.
Just holding the door open,
in case you need a reminder that it’s possible.

A little softer. A little slower.
A little more like you.

If you’re craving that too —
The Soft & Slow Club is your place.
When you sign up, and you’ll get weekly love notes from me (books, crafts, small joys, all of it).

Come get comfy — the link’s in my bio.
POV: You started living for the little moments — POV: You started living for the little moments — and they made life feel big again.⁣
⁣
Because it’s not always about doing more.⁣
Sometimes it’s about noticing what’s already here.⁣
⁣
The sound of laughter from the other room.⁣
⁣
The way your hands move when you’re ⁣
creating something just for fun.⁣
⁣
That feeling of peace when you stop rushing and let the moment stretch out a little longer.⁣
⁣
These aren’t just filler moments — they’re the ones that make up a life.⁣
⁣
The good stuff isn’t always loud or flashy.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s soft, quiet, and tucked into the corners of your day.⁣
⁣
Lately, I’ve been reminding myself: maybe we don’t need to chase the next big thing.⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s about noticing the daily glimmers, the little luxuries, the small sparks of joy that light us up — and letting those be enough.⁣
⁣
If you’re into that kind of life too… you’re in the right place. Stick around — I’m just getting started.⁣

How lucky am I?⁣ 🍀 (blessed, really) ⁣ Luck How lucky am I?⁣ 🍀 (blessed, really)
⁣
Lucky to make memories with the people I love.⁣
⁣
Lucky that my kid still thinks I’m cool (I’m holding onto that like gold).⁣
⁣
Lucky for morning coffee and the quiet ritual of starting fresh.⁣
⁣
That little sigh when the day begins and it’s just… mine for a moment.⁣
⁣
Lucky for walks in the sunshine, digging my hands in the dirt, and remembering what it feels like to be grounded.⁣
⁣
Lucky to make time for joy — to create, to play, to chase what makes me feel alive, instead of waiting for some mythical “later.”⁣
⁣
Lucky to live a life that’s not perfect, but mine — full of softness, effort, hope, and meaning.⁣
⁣
And lucky for the friends who remind me who I am on the days I forget.⁣
⁣
The ones who add that little razzle dazzle, that sparkle, that oh yeah, this is what it’s all about.⁣
⁣
If you’re in a season of noticing the good stuff — even in the middle of the mess — I see you.⁣
⁣
We’re lucky to feel it. To live it.⁣

What’s something you’re lucky for lately?
What even *is* this magical life?✨ ⁣ ⁣ Hones What even *is* this magical life?✨ ⁣
⁣
Honestly? Last week dragged harder than my feet on a Monday morning… but somehow, it was still full of those sparkly little moments that make life feel *weirdly* magical.⁣
⁣
Board games? Always a yes—especially when I win (which I did, obviously). ⁣
⁣
Turning travel days into treat-yourself adventures? Say less. ⁣
⁣
Sunshine and digging around in the garden? Literal heaven. ⁣
⁣
And don’t even get me started on that blood moon under a sky full of stars—main character energy.⁣
⁣
Somehow, even in the chaos, there’s still space to dream, play, and romanticize the little things.⁣
⁣
Because let’s be real—a magical life isn’t always a big moment... sometimes it’s just snacks, stargazing, and pretending your errands are a rom-com montage.⁣
