Welcome to my blog, a snug nook dedicated to exploring the ebb and flow of everyday living.
Travel. Maternity. Poetry. Photography.
Mental Health. Lifestyle. Golf?
Cozy corner of honesty and reflection.
Welcome to my space, where perfection takes a backseat. I’m done with the unrealistic standards perpetuated online, where every alcove seems to showcase flawlessness. Here, I’m all about embracing the genuine and the imperfect.
More than just a blog, this space is a reflection of who I am—an eternal romantic with a love of storytelling, a seeker of beauty in the mundane, and a believer in the power of connection through shared experiences.
You won’t find curated snapshots of a flawless life here. Instead, expect realness and messiness in abundance. Whether it’s recounting embarrassing everyday encounters (like the time I held a barista’s hand for a prolonged period of time before realizing he was simply handing me a straw, not seeking human touch), detailing the aftermath of my countless recipe flops (cooking is not my forte), or delving into moments of vulnerability (including my ongoing journey with eating disorders and body dysmorphia), I promise to keep it real.
So, if you’re looking for a place to laugh, cry, and maybe even learn a thing or two along the way, you’re in the right spot. I’m honored to have you here.
Maternity
A maternity blog designed to make you feel better, not worse about yourself.
Glowing pregnancies and perfect nursery setups? How boring. I’d rather explore the raw emotions (hello, 2:00 a.m. panic attacks), physical challenges (“morning” sickness and pregnancy acne, oh my), and profound transformations that accompany bringing new life into the world.
Travel
A haven for the intrepid souls seeking inspiration, tips, and stories from around the world.
Honesty ahead: this is not your typical travel blog filled with glossy photos and carefully curated experiences. Instead, it’s a collection of real-life stories, mishaps, and triumphs that come with wandering off the beaten path.
Poetry
For me, reading poetry is like sinking into a hallucination, where reality blurs at the edges and the boundaries between imagination and perception dissolve. With each word, each line, the world around you transforms into a dreamscape of vivid imagery and intoxicating emotions. Will you join me?

Mental Health
A refuge for those navigating the intricate landscapes of mental health with OR without grace and resilience. When it comes to my mental health, I sometimes do not have any grace or resilience left to give. That’s okay.
Trigger warning: I speak candidly about my ongoing struggles with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Lifestyle
Honest storytelling, practical advice, and a healthy dose of humor.
Here, you’ll find everything from basic and easy recipes to rants about why I cannot stand “wellness” culture and why my husband hates kites (yes, kites).

Golf
While I am not a golfer myself, my husband is a fanatic (I mean, avid enthusiast) who has been traversing the globe to tick off courses from his extensive bucket list. Check out his comprehensive ratings and reviews of these golfing destinations here. And if you’re like me, tagging along as a non-golfer, I’ll be sharing some recommendations on how to make the most of your time while he’s on the green (catch me at the spa being a “supportive wife”).
