  • Monday 5: Grace & other things I’m excited about this week

    For possibly the first time in over a year, this past Friday night I made zero plans. I went to bed at 9pm and woke up almost twelve hours later. It was amazing. Saturday was also very restful with a tiny bit of productivity mixed in there (yay for errands). My friend Juliana came over…

  • Monday 5: Hygge & other things I’m excited about this week

    Weekends are just the best. Especially ones when you’re not sick and can do things!

    Woohoo it’s Monday! I’m sure this is exactly what crossed your mind this morning when your alarm rudely interrupted your sleep.

  • Finding balance

    A few months ago, I wrote an article for Best Kept Self about what I had learned from my eating disorder.
