Cultivating a BEAUTIFUL Life
I’m so glad you’re here!
I made this space to gather all the many parts of me that I’ve created to share with the world. Everything I do, make, and sell is intended to help you create and cultivate a beautiful life, right alongside me. I love impactful words, meaningful art, getting my hands in the dirt, and creating delicious dishes, all of which you’ll find here!
my north stars
New here? WELCOME! In my work and life, basically all of the things that I love and that light me up — creating beautiful and delicious things, cultivating habits and experiences, sharing and telling stories, and exploring our glorious world — fall into one of these three buckets. I’ve sorted my work accordingly so you can dive into the topic that resonates most with you!
For me, aspirations are sometimes a bit grander than the reality of things, but my goal is that eventually you’ll find stories, recipes, DIYs, art, musings, poetry, and more to help you live your best life woven throughout this little space on the internet. Thank you for joining me.
Create
To create is to bring something new into existence. For me, the art of creation is one of life’s greatest pleasures. The magic in watching disparate parts become a unified whole, or a brand new idea come to life, feels like the true essence of existing. Whether it’s in the kitchen, in my art studio, out in the garden, or on the canvas of life, nothing satisfies me more than creating beautiful and delicious things. I hope we can create some magic together.
Cultivate
To cultivate is to develop and nurture a quality, a sentiment, or a skill. To me, life is all about cultivating the best qualities in ourselves, the best environments in which to excel, the best relationships with those we hold dear, and the best experiences that will create lasting, life-long memories. The constant pursuit to cultivate a better life is what makes the journey all that matters.
explore
To explore is to travel in or through someplace, in order to learn about or familiarize yourself with it. For me, exploring is the true essence of life. Because isn’t every day an exploration? As human beings, one of our greatest gifts is the ability to explore, to move beyond our cozy four walls and go on an adventure. Whether it’s taking a walk in nature, flying halfway around the world, adopting a new hobby, or exploring a point of view or perspective that widens your horizon, there are always new sights to see and experiences to be savored.
