Last week in the US we celebrated Memorial Day, marking the unofficial start of summer. It was rainy and generally not very nice for most of the day where I live, but still: the lure of carefree days are now calling…

Monday Musings: Cirque du Soleil
I have been intrigued by and in awe of the acrobatic ability of Cirque du Soleil for as long as I can remember. I think I first took notice when their Beatles LOVE show came out in Vegas many moons ago (and has since ended). I started following them on Instagram and am enamored (and sometimes terrified) by their amazing performances. But I have yet to see a show.

Monday Musings: Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Mary is not the type of book I typically pick up, but when I saw that my bestie had read it and rated it 5 stars on GoodReads, I didn’t take the recommendation lightly. If she loved it, I knew it would be great.

Monday Musings: Adventuring 101
I want to be the type of person who goes on adventures. They don’t have to be big, expensive trips to far off lands—small, attainable outings each week will do, just something to add a little spice to my otherwise routine life.

How to Plan a Staycation
Every year (at least in recent history) I take a week off of work at the end of January for my birthday, because why not? I have the vacation days and I don’t want to work on my birthday and I like me a good ol’ staycation.

Holiday Fun List!
This time of year can very easily become overwhelming, with the hustle and bustle of getting ready for the holidays. I have fallen into this trap in years past, and so in an effort to combat the anxiety this year, I have created a holiday fun list with the intent of making time to embrace the fun, relaxing and sometimes indulgent, traditions of the season.

Halloween Decor Roundup + Creative Costumes Ideas
If I’m being honest here (and I always am), I’ve never really decorated for Halloween. Not in my own house anyway.

I Need A Hobby // Meditation
Happy December everyone! How are we already at the end of this year? This year flew by (and admittedly dragged on at times too)! Today I’m here to share my final hobby check-in post!
That is, my final hobby post ever. I’ve decided to discontinue this series in the new year, even though I do plan and hope to reattempt the hobbies I flaked on this year (including Photography, Painting, Sewing, Bullet Journaling, and Hand Lettering), among other new ones, in 2020. The pressure and feelings of failure each month isn’t good for my mental state, lol– this was supposed to be fun after all! But I definitely did enjoy (re)discovering a love for reading, cooking and gardening.
Let’s see how I did with my hobby list this past month, shall we…?
I Need A Hobby // Crocheting
Hello hello! I’m back for another hobby check-in post! Are you bored of reading these yet?? Because I’m getting bored of writing them! Hahaha…
But for real, my intent with this hobby a month challenge was to try new things and see what I enjoyed most so that ultimately I could/would incorporate them into my daily life. If you’ve been reading along the past couple (few?) months, you’ll know that I haven’t made much progress at my attempts. Every month has been the same, and SHOCKER, this month is no different!
Only two months to go, so let’s keep it up shall we? Even if only for appearances…
