Today, we’re going to focus specifically on the traits of those who have a casual personal style. In a lot of ways, those who have a casual style are super chill. Don’t get me wrong, they have their passions and the things that light their fire, but…

July color palette! 🫐🍑🍒🍋 It’s hot, the fruit is juicy, and play time is a priority. As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, these monthly color palettes are reflective of what I’m feeling when I’m creating them, in tandem with…

Let’s test something out. Humor me, for a sec! Pretend you’re in the market for some headshots and you have to make the choice purely on which brand you think will have better quality photos—without actually…

June’s color palette! 🫒🧼🌝🩰🪸 I’m starting to finally feel settled in the house after the big move. Thank gawdddd. This color palette reflects the exciting yet soft, loving, warm, playful energy that I’ve been feeling as we ease into the official summer solstice. <3

The way we dress says a lot about who we are. We can communicate so much without saying a word, simply by what we choose to put on our bodies at any given time. This topic has…

May’s color palette! It’s been very rainy but my flowers are bloomin’ and that’s important. 🐷💧🍇🪻🌝 Spring starts to really feel sprung in May, well, at least it does here in…

This is a true story. And also, let me preface, I’m what some call “woo-woo.” A proud woo-woo girly. There are some things I take as signs/alignments/however you want to label it. This was one of them for me. Here we go: In 2022, I was working a retreat in Italy. Sounds glamorous. It wasn’t. In fact, it was kind of…

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about burnout. I’ve been experiencing this recently and sometimes it feels like an inescapable rut of no inspiration and no motivation. So today, I’m going to share some things that help get me in the flow (when it actually feels available to do so).

This month, my sister and I move into the house I’ve been working on renovating. It’s definitely not complete and we still have several more months ahead, but it’s livable and we’re gonna make it work.

If you follow me on social media or we’re, like friends IRL lol, you’ll know that I’ve been doing a home renovation on the 70’s mid-century modern house that my dad bought when he was in his 30s. The house was my first home before moving to the family house where I spent my childhood and teenage years. My dad rented it out for…

Even though March is a toss up with temp, the almost-spring vibes make me feel like winter’s cold grip is loosening inside, bringing a warm and sunny feeling (hopefully weather to match).

Let’s return to this riveting topic: the way you present something affects its perceived value. This series uses coffee shop storefronts to illustrate how the exterior, interior, and brand designs influence the perceived coffee and food quality.

Admitting to experiencing burnout—or something close to it—is a bitter pill to swallow. Whether it be personal pressure to keep doing the most or the societal expectations to excel in, like, every aspect of our lives, it ain’t fun to teeter on the edge of exhaustion. Not to mention how the nuances of burnout are intertwined and scattered across the board. Emotional and physical exhaustion; throw those in there. A sense of disconnection: bingo. Guilt for feeling less effective or motivated…yeh. Inconsistent self care routines: guilty as charged…

Colors associated with February tend to be pigeonholed into Valentine’s Day vibes. And you know what? I love these colors and cheesy Valentine’s Day shit. Not sorry!

Different times and seasons of the year bring their own challenges. I’ve found January to be a mixed bag; it’s a fresh start, yes, but it also means returning to regular work routines, *sigh* (December is so generous with days off 😅). It’s prime time for…

This concept is something that I keep coming back to in a lot of different ways: the way you present something affects its perceived value. The presentation of ideas, objects, products, personalities, services, and so on, can significantly impact how they are perceived and thus can be guided to specific results…

I have this distinct memory sitting in the back of my mom’s periwinkle minivan as a kid, probably around 10 years old, deeply pondering why colors look better with some more than others. Over time…

You know those moments where you’re exposed to something and you instantly know that’s going to stick with you for the long haul? It doesn’t happen all that much to my ADHD ass but when it does, it’s etched in there real deep…

I’ve found myself saying “everything is f*cked” more progressively as I experience the ever-revealing reality of adulthood. From “small peanuts” like real estate BS as a first-time homeowner to the atrocities of men’s wars. Exploitative billionaires and lying politicians. Abusers and mass shooters. Patriarchal institutions and genocide. It’s all too much…

Many industries took a huge hit as a result of Covid and the live music industry was no different. I wouldn’t say I was an avid festival attendee but I did enjoy my fair share of waiting in lines, standing in the heat, and experiencing the big payoff of seeing some iconic artists perform in-the-flesh…
