DECEMBER GOALS

At the end of the month, I will have hopefully done most of these things and will document them as I go along. Seems like the months just slip so fast by lately and I want to capture the small moments in them, so hopefully this is a way to do so. Do you have any plans for this holiday season?

GIFT GUIDE / THE NATURALIST

There are so many great gift guides circling the internet lately, all filled with lovely things, but the prices can be a bit unrealistic sometimes. I'll be posting a few gift guides that feature items from small businesses that are under 40 dollars. I'm really trying hard this year to only buy handmade, vintage, meaningful gifts... so I hope these ideas inspire you as well!

COFFEE + RAIN

There is no better activity to do on a rainy day than sip on a hot latte- whether it be at home or in a cozy coffee shop. That perfect carmel-y color, rich foam, and leaf design just get me.

RUBY ROSE PRETTIES

 A few things at Ruby Rose that caught my eye. I'm lucky to get to work with such beauty surrounding me! 

OH, HELLO

I feel as though I begin every blog post with obligatory "wow, it sure has been awhile" sentence, but it truly feels like I've become far detached this blog. That is something I do not want, but I'm taking time to reevaluate and gain some inspiration for this here ol' blog. I haven't necessarily been busy - but my mind has been elsewhere. Dealing with complicated apartment things and being sick are just some of the not so fun stuff, but it's not bad. It has also been filled with watching my classic Fall movies ( I have a pretty elaborate list of movies I must watch in October), carving pumpkins, bike rides, and drinking many a soy chai latte. 

Thinking of all my east coast friends... hope you all stay safe!
