You're here because you are searching for last minute holiday gifts, aren't you? Your procrastination is showing, sweet thang. I won't judge. I spent 45 minutes in line at the post office today trying to mail a package five days before Christmas, so I have no room to talk. For all you peeps who are [...]
Hate to break it to you, but the earth is crumbling. How's that for holiday spirit, babaaaay! I'll pick up the positivity here. I've been working on reducing the amount of waste I produce. It's CRAZY how much we throw away. Lately, I've been trying to be a little more aware of the things I [...]
In continuation of this year's gift guide series, I wanted to share some options that are much more than material. My FAVORITE gifts are the ones that allow you to spend quality time with others. Especially during quarantine, it's so important to set aside time to be a little creative or make your own entertainment. [...]
If I had a million dollars.... I'd play Oprah. YOU GET A GIFT AND YOU GET A GIFT!!! I love choosing really special gifts for people in my life, but that often requires a little bit of money. HA. Don't got it. However, some of the best gifts don't cost much at all. All it [...]

So we've been cooped up for a million years, right? That sounds about right. Sure feels about right. While we're all dealing with the same Hurricane Corona, we're each in separate boats, handling different obstacles as COVID-19 flips our lives upside down. For me, I've struggled to eat like a functioning adult while quarantined because [...]
Hello. Greetings. Welcome to my blog humble abode. It's been a hot minute since I've been on here and a lot has changed since we last chatted. Something BIG...er, small, like 600 square feet small. BUT STILL BIG. I also want to be mindful and #woke and recognize the crisis that is COVID-19, which has [...]

JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE ALL THE WAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! I am oozing gingerbread out of my pores. That's gross, my b. While I was home for Thanksgiving last weekend, my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I drew a blank. World peace? A way to reverse global warming and Alzheimer’s? Love and affection? [...]
Ok so picture this: a world where every human actually really truly unconditionally loved themselves. Crazy concept, but I believe it's possible. I've been chatting with a few friends lately and meeting some new baby GEMS (wtf is GEMS? Click here.) and I've been noticing a trend. Regardless of where we come from, how old we [...]
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." - Dr. Wayne Dyer Today I'm sitting alone in a coffee shop listening to the weird indie music I've been into lately and sippin' on hot peach tea. It's about 10 degrees outside here in the dairy land, and I'm [...]
5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 1st is one of my favorite days, mainly because I can bust open my brand new 2018 planner. Does anyone else get that same feeling? There's just something refreshing about a clean slate of another 365 days to fill with an abundance of events and new opportunities. I'm into it. As [...]
