ABOUT

My love for creating content sometimes became a downfall, leading me into the social media trap of striving for perfection. Thoughts like “If I could just have this one thing, I’d be pretty” or “If I had 10K followers, I’d be successful” haunted me.

I've experienced both the dark and light sides of social media. While it has its perks, most of us have also experienced its damaging effects. I wanted to create a space for women to breathe, to redefine happiness and health in our 20s based on some tough life lessons I’ve learned.

This blog is a place to find healthy inspiration instead of doom-scrolling until you’ve found 20 new personal flaws. Here, I share my journey of embracing imperfection and actively creating happiness instead of wishing for it. I talk about my mental health openly, offer practical tips for self-care, and provide inspiration for living authentically.

From travel adventures and fashion finds to personal stories and wellness tips, you’ll find my heart & soul poured into these pages.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope you leave this page feeling heard, inspired, and seen. Welcome to a space where we celebrate the real, messy, and beautiful journey of life in our 20s.

I've always been a creative at heart, making homemade movies, writing songs, and filling journals since childhood. My passion for storytelling has always driven me, even when I didn't realize it.

In college, after a frustrating year of struggling through bio and chem classes, I found myself hiding in music rooms instead of the library, practicing calligraphy instead of reading textbooks. It was then I realized my passion for creating content and telling stories. College brought both highs and lows. Like many women, I battled burnout, perfectionism, societal pressures, and anxiety.

My life is divided into two chapters: Before Florida (B.F.) and After Florida (A.F.). The A.F. phase introduced me to an anxiety I had never known, likely triggered by leaving behind the comfort of home and everything familiar.

During this transformative period and through a lot of soul-searching, I realized that home & happiness is where you make it. I faced some seriously stressful home situations, which taught me the importance of creating spaces that bring happiness and positive vibes into your life. My recent ADHD diagnosis has made this even more crucial.

I'm here to help YOU make your spaces happy and healthy too. For me, it's about the art of decorating, mastering organization, injecting fun into the stress of adulting, and prioritizing overall well-being. This digital space is where I share these aspects of my life wholeheartedly and transparently, hoping to inspire the same spark within you.

MOVING TO FLORIDA CHANGED MY LIFE.

The first thing I ever wanted to be growing up was a volcanologist. The second thing was a Musician, and to this day you'll occasionally find me writing love songs on my guitar.

BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW:

A good story. I'll always prefer a "cozy-night-in to read a fantasy book or watch a documentary" type of night. I love a good mystery, which is why I've read every single Nancy Drew book.

I'M ALL ABOUT:

Rollerskating, hiking, playing pickleball, practicing my handwriting, trying out a new IG-guided recipe, or walking my dogs on the beach at sunset.
