  • tv as medicine, everything showers, wobbly comebacks and doing less.

    hello sweet ones, a few tabs were left open in this noodling session (i.e. *i'll talk about that in a bit…* then never do :’) but i am on a journey of releasing complex trauma induced perfectionism and am hoping to connect with you here more often in a cozy comfy company cup of tea catch up kind of way . <3

    some things discussed:

    * a spooky season full moon energy update

    * everything showers as seasonal delights

    * collection of favorite movies and tv shows

    * nervous system healing via netflix viewing

    * doing less, being in my feminine, updates on my unemployment era

    * midnight scone baking, a halloweekend trip up north, and other bits and bobs.

    thank you so so so so much for being here. let me know how your peak autumn / spooky cozy season / october is going? ily x

  • The magic of being intentionally basic & a small collection of early autumnal glimmers

    Shabbat shalom earthlings!

    Happy Aries full moon.

    Welcome to Small Delights.

    She back.

    Live from my sheepskin covered armchair,

    sipping on a gilded teacup of spicy milk + honey comfort,

    I muse and enthuse, noodle and deepdive on the things

    I am learning and loving in this intense, post equinox moment.

    Some delights + musings mentioned:

    A nuanced approach to fall cleaning

    Feng shui neurosis, and the life changing magic of gentle tidy-ness

    Alix Earle, eldest daughters + emotional freeze in media

    Rice as skincare: a DIY facemask I am loving right now <3

    The chronic fear of messing good things up

    The aesthetics + energetics of being basic and girly

    (and why this is medicine for complex cerebral baddies)

    & the lovely things currently in my fridge, oven, mug, bubbling on the stove

    also mentioned:

    Yogi Classic Chai : the perfect caffeine free yummy evening tea for lattes

    Sunshine drops by Alexis Smart: a sweet late summer, early autumn medicine for sensitives in the far north (who are prone to SAD, or just prefer lighter longer days).

    Stay tuned! Self Soothery is blooming: Restorative movement + gentle self tending for sleepy girls.

  • i was never young + the pressure to be a party girl 🪺🐚🪩

    * happy weekend sweet ones! before scampering off to enjoy 1) fave friday takeout meal: sushi salad + mango soda 2) more episodes of netflix’s VLADIMIR (omg) 🌸🫦 i decided to record a little love note for my assembled collection of queens. in today’s episode i ponder, pontificate, and squiggle brain noodle muse on:

    * an energetic glow down recipe for disaster

    * radical acts of wellness renegade rebellion

    * no one parties anymore + is that okay?

    * my new fave heart opening cacao recipe

    * the HD & astrological making of an ambivert

    * nervous system informed expansion

    * + more

    my dreams, feed, and intrusive recurring thoughts have been consumed with the seemingly urgent/ disastrous lack of partying amongst the youth/ youngish. in this cavernous disco ball shaped absence there is a ubiquitous wellness girly/ happy homebody lifestyle (sheet masks, early bedtimes, pearl powder sleepy girl mocktails, etc.)

    as someone who has tried + failed to be young, wild, and free, the *shoulds* of extroversion + alcohol induced fun feel overwhelming at times.

    this felt like a bit of licensing and also a bit of catharsis bc i don’t want anyone to tell me what to do anymore: old crusty male thought leaders or young sparkly internet thought daughters alike! x

    p.s. this is the gelatin i mentioned! the glow it is granting my visage is really pleasantly surprising!

  • january energy report, raspberry leaf cocoa + yogi incense
