One of my main love languages is gift giving, so it makes sense that I also LOVE choosing special gifts for the people I love. Combining these two interests gave me an idea – why not combine gift giving with the love […]
I have a confession to make – I love reading. But even though I am passionate about self-help (I mean, I run a whole blog about it, duh), self-help books aren’t always my cup of tea. Some self-development books want to spoon-feed you all the ways in which you should be inspired. Sometimes, that’s exactly the kind of read you need.

This summer, one of my huge goals is to level up my self-love and self-care in a way that will follow me […]

But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some wonderful self-love gifts out there that can help boost self-love for the person in your life who needs it most.

Doesn’t fall just seem like the best time to treat yourself to some cozy autumn self-care? For so many of us, our image of a perfect fall day includes cozying up with a good book, a smelly candle, and a mug of tea while colourful leaves fall outside. But fall doesn’t always feel that way for most of us. Autumn means back to school or back to work for so many of us. By October, after a long month of […]
