Your environment can have a big effect on your mood without you even knowing. It has been said that a clear room equals a clear mind. Sound far-fetched? Try it. I have definitely found that the state of my room has a direct effect on how calm I feel. I can’t work (or sleep well, […]

Self-Care / Conscious Living
Self-care is an integral part of living a more intentional life. Its not all about eating chocolate cake or spending a small fortune at the spa (although those things can be a lovely treat too). Its about carving out time once a day, or once a week to care for yourself – its important to […]
Curate / Light + Detail
Minutiae / the small, precise details that makes one unique; the finer points and subtleties As a visual person, I am very much aware of the little things. I have a deep appreciation for details, and they make my heart sing. (I know that I’m definitely not alone on this). I especially love beautiful light […]
Abode
Being the kind of person who requires time to myself, and appreciates solitude, I thrive off having my own personal space to unwind, work, create and rest. The only space in the whole world that I can call completely my own is my bedroom. I have been blessed with my own room my whole life. […]

Hello I have been wanting a more simple wall hanging in my room for a little while now. Previously, a dream catcher was hanging there but it started to bother me and made the wall feel a little too busy for my liking. I wanted something simple, beautiful and functional. I did some searching on […]
Offline
I’ve always admired people who have the will power to have “offline days”. As bad as it sounds, it can be extremely difficult to disconnect ourselves from the hustle and bustle that is constant online. We don’t want to miss out on a thing. Social media gives us a rush that is described by some […]
Zen / Morning Rituals
I’ve never really been a person who intentionally followed a morning ritual. When I started doing some reading about minimalism and slow living, the ‘morning ritual’ seemed to pop up. When I thought of a morning ritual, I didn’t just want it to be things like ‘make lunch’ and ‘brush teeth’. I wanted to be […]
