To take a break from all the overthinking I've done on here lately, I realized I hadn't had a chance to share how happy it has been to follow through with some things I've implemented in my life this last year. When I came home from working as an au pair in Ireland, I was missing home and family like I never had before. Being an au pair was a wonderful experience I will never forget, but there were many times I felt like I needed to suppress myself. This only made the thought

As someone who spends a majority of their days in the clouds, I believe this is something I could speak on credibly. :) Nothing brings me more joy than savoring the little things and doing everything with love. If any of these musings bring you a bit more happiness, then this post has served its purpose. Enjoy. ♡ Lean into what makes you yourself I think in all this focus on self-improvement, we often forget that what we consider to be our "flaws" or eccentricity are actuall

I had always found affirmations hard for me to connect to because I never really felt any resonance or heart behind them. This finally changed when I discovered Louise Hay's heartfelt and love-filled affirmations, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. Unlike the generic "I love myself" type of affirmations, these carry a sincerity that you can feel wash over you upon speaking or even just reading them. I'd like to share some of my favorites with you today, in th

Happy Easter! This time of year holds a special place in my heart. Recently, I came across a beautiful description that perfectly captures the essence of spring while going through my Pinterest feed: "There is something healing about sitting in front of an open window listening to birds and wind chimes and enjoying a natural breeze. It's like the world is telling you to breathe." As a way to honor the season, I wanted to share some of my favorite books and trinkets that help

♡ 1. Spartacus Ballet Suite No. 2: I. Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia This is a piece from the Spartacus ballet, where Spartacus and Phrygia perform a pas de deux, unaware it marks their final encounter. The composition is remarkably beautiful and passionate, the way it is able to convey love, wistfulness, and sorrow simultaneously. It's truly breathtaking. To me, it's a sunrise in musical form. Just that first minute sounds like the little songbirds you hear at dawn, and th

This topic holds deep sentimental value and always stirs such an intense emotional resonance in me. The strains of Clara and the prince's pas de deux will always bring tears to my eyes (which not many songs do), the waltz of the flowers and the waltz of the snowflakes triggers my fight or flight, and I don't think I will ever look at Ariel from the Little Mermaid or Glinda from the Wizard of Oz without seeing myself. I fondly remember playing the spring fairy in Cinderella, A

My goodness, it sure has been awhile. I've been so busy with my two condensed classes that I felt like I didn't have any time for what I loved. It was awful. So as you can imagine, I am just elated to have those done and out of the way. So now with all this free time, I am back to doing the things that make me happy including writing these little entries! So, expect me to be more active if you even pay attention to this site anymore haha. But for now, I thought I would update

I recently found my camera that I purchased from someone when I was in my senior year of high school and have really been putting it to use now that everything is blossoming and beautiful outside! I didn't have to travel very far at all to take these, in fact I took them all in my front and backyard! The camera isn't the most professional obviously, but I think it still does its job pretty well. :) Two of these pictures are the roses that we grow in my front yard. They're so
