Letting Go: The Hardest Donation I’ve Ever Made
Today I took an enormous carload (literally packed from floor to ceiling ) of clothes to charity. I know it probably sounds simple, but it was honestly one of the hardest things I’ve done in a really long time. Handing over those bags felt like letting go of pieces of myself. And now, I’ll be Continue reading

Sunday Night at Jazz Alley
Sunday night was such a phenomenal experience. I went to Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They were electric. I’ve always been a big jazz fan but seeing them live was something else. The energy was contagious, the music was popping, and I couldn’t help but dance along in my Continue reading

October!
Disclaimer: I fell askeep before I had the opportunity to post this. It is a day late. I can’t believe it’s already October 1. It honestly feels like it was just January. The leaves are changing so quickly into the most beautiful, vibrant jewel tones. I love jewel tones! They’re so elegant and seeing them Continue reading

A Stormy Fall Day and the Façade That’s Cracking
Today turned out to be a really stormy day. It feels like fall now, especially after a warm, sunny weekend. The wind was blowing , the rain was pouring, and the leaves were falling all over the ground. Honestly, it’s kind of beautiful if you actually stop and look. Normally, I’m not a huge fan Continue reading

Living Simply: Finding Coziness in the Old World
Fall is here and the days get shorter, I naturally slow down. Fall and winter have always been seasons that invite me to slow down my pace, to notice, and of course, to make things cozy. I don’t crave anything glossy or modern this time of year. It’s the mismatched, the handmade and the old Continue reading

Happy First Day of Fall
(Disclaimer: I meant to post this yesterday but I crashed and slept for 15 hours. So here I am, posting the following day instead. I feel so much better after the long sleep.) I left work early because I just couldn’t push through anymore. I haven’t slept well in two days and my body finally Continue reading

Autumn’s Goddess — A Candlelit Night
I’ve finally finished editing my latest video, stepping into the night as autumn’s goddess. Candles flickered all around me, a single pumpkin glowing softly, and I moved slowly, letting the shadows and light trace my steps. Everything felt suspended – the leaves, the air, the hush of the season. Over the video, I read my Continue reading

Painting in the Glow
Tonight my dad and I went to Pinot’s Palette for a blacklight paint and sip. The room glowed with neon colors and under the black lights our paintings slowly came alive with a spooky kind of magic. You can watch the timelapse here: Art has always been something we’ve shared. When I was little, my Continue reading

Fall in the Air, Pixie in My Hair
The first crisp breeze of fall always makes me feel alive. It’s like the air itself is saying, go ahead, change something and surprise yourself. So I did. I chopped it all off into a very gamine pixie. Wow. The second I saw it, I felt like a whole new season had slipped onto my Continue reading

The Breakfast Pizza That Reminds Me of Mom
This morning, I found myself craving something very specific: old school cafeteria breakfast pizza. It’s simple really. A soft crust, a layer of sauce, sausage crumbles, and melted cheese. Nothing fancy and nothing complicated. But for me, it carries the weight of memory, of childhood mornings, of my mom. She worked in the school cafeteria Continue reading

It’s September!

There’s something about that mix of spice and sweetness that just feels like Continue reading

Inspired by You’ve Got Mail: A Day of Cleaning and Fall Prep
It’s a super hot day today, which feels funny because September is just around the corner. Even with the heat, I found myself reaching for comfort and inspiration, so I curled up and watched my favorite movie, You’ve Got Mail. There’s just something about that film that never fails to make me feel warm inside!! Continue reading

Bracing For Fall
When I was little, every season in Washington carried its own kind of magic. Summer was blackberry stained fingers and stubborn sunsets that lingered long after bedtime. Spring was cherry blossoms scattered across wet sidewalks, tulips rising out of soggy earth. Winter was snow on the Cascades, holiday lights against dark evergreens, breath curling white Continue reading
