It's coming up on a year since I've joined the gym and I have enjoyed reflecting on how my mind, body and spirit have evolved. Growing up I wasn't as much of an athlete, just more so wanted to be a part of a team and belong. Though I played field hockey and ultimate frisbee [...]

When OhSevenDays reached out to me about styling one of their pieces from the new Spring 19' collection, I was really excited. In even the past couple years I feel that the conversation about sustainable brands has become louder yet I continued to stand in the background. I felt like I couldn't fully commit to [...]
I've been purging my closet since the beginning of the year trying to nail down solid pieces that are long lasting and make me feel confident. As I've been thrifting my main focus has been accumulating a nice variety of midi skirts as well silk scarves to wear in my hair (which is growing ! [...]
I'm ecstatic because tomorrow is the first day of Spring !! I'm always anxious for all the beauty Spring brings with it (like all the flowers n longer days) but this year it feels more intense due to it being our first living in Portland. With new seasons come new visions so I'm also looking [...]
