People in my life have a common misconception about me: that I have it all figured out.

In reality, I've wasted a lot of money and time figuring out how to create the lifestyle I wanted. The biggest lesson I've learned that it's a process that is never fully complete. The to-do list will never be completely checked off. I'm constantly refining some areas while leaving large gaps in others. I definitely don't have it all figured out.

Social media shows the highlight reel. I scroll my feed wondering how people figure it out so fast. Are there homes always that clean? How did the decorate their space so beautifully? How does she always look so stylish? How do people have time for this with everything else in their lives?

In 2018, I began sharing fashion videos on YouTube because I enjoyed how a good outfit could change my mood. I paid more attention to how I dressed for work, how I curated my wardrobe for weekend looks, how I chose pieces for my body--wow, have I learned a lot since. Not only about content creation (disclaimer: I'm nowhere near having that one figured out), but about how style can bring joy. Instead of chasing big vacations or extravagant experiences, I create little moments throughout my day that make me smile.

I want the clothes I wear each day to feel nice on my skin and make me feel confident.

I want my home and surroundings to feel peaceful and inspiring.

And I want the everyday needs of my lifestyle to be easy and supportive.

I'm now in my early 30s living in a new house with my husband of almost 10 years and our second dog-baby corgi, with a mid-level leadership position at work. There's so much to juggle and struggle. I want to share the journey to show it's far from perfect.

Over the years, I've wanted a corner of the internet I could call my own, away from the pressures and expectations of social media. Welcome to that corner! I hope it's helpful in some way. And if it is, please let me know by messaging me on IG!
