June (Final) Wrap Up

I don't know how people blog several times a week, I can barely handle once a month! This week I found myself dreading this June wrap up post (which is why it's super late).  I'm not a full time blogger (obviously) so I can do whatever I want here! That means I'm going to end the wrap ups for now. I wanted to do a year of monthly wrap up posts and I made it 9 months. Not bad! Back to posting here whenever the mood strikes.

It took me about two seconds today to realize that I've been having a hard time handling stress and anxiety, so I should cut some things out of my routine (and add in more of what I truly want to do at that moment). Scott and I went to Michigan for a long weekend in a cabin with no internet and barely a cell signal and I realized I need to unplug a bit more in daily life. In honor of that, here are a few of my favorite photos from this weekend.

Now I'm going to spend the rest of my night reading and collaging/drawing in my sketchbook. Happy creating!

May Wrap Up

Here we are again! This will be a photo wrap up.

I'm really into Hygge

I love a good cozy night on the couch with my favorite blanket, a lit candle, and a book. Add in a thunderstorm or snow and it’s even better! Knowing there was a Danish term for this was so much fun to find out and learn about! If you haven’t already heard about Hygge, it’s basically the Danish term for being cozy, and there are so many ways to apply the word. Check out The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking for a quick and easy way to learn all about it. So of course, with this new discovery I wanted to find artful hygge items for inspiration and thought it’d be fun to share what I curated from the internet. Here are some beautiful things that I consider to have that cozy hygge feel, enjoy!
