This was truly just a quiet winter week in my life — the kind of week I always hope feels like you have someone to hang out with. I shared my first pottery class (equal parts nerve-racking and exciting), a few slow mornings at home, and the little routines that make my apartment feel like a sacred space. I was also on the first day of my cycle, which lined up with the new moon, and I talked about how I’m trying to learn more about moon phases and what that “renewal / letting go” energy feels like for me. I spent time journaling in my cozy corner with tea, candles, and my heated blanket, and I shared a few honest little updates—like how drying clay is on my hands (sensory-issue people, I see you) and why a thick hand cream is non-negotiable. Brandon and I also did some cozy everyday life things: Sudoku at night, hanging a new fan after cleansing it, and taking Blue to the vet for a checkup and possible FIV testing after an incident with Bilbo. I also filmed a sponsored tea video and had a sweet little sit-down chat with Brandon about dating a content creator and where we see life going. And at the end of the week, I got real about how overwhelming and scary the world feels right now. I’m leaning into creative passions, family time, and simple home routines to stay grounded—and I’m sending you so much love.
