In the past few years I’ve worked on curating my worldly posessions. Buying only what will add significant value to my life, delcuttering what doesn’t serve me, and taking good care of current favourites. A small home calls for a more conscious selection of “things”, and I’ve greatly enjoyed the benefits a more minimal mindset […]
7 Things My 20s Have Brought Me Thus Far
Last Saturday was my birthday and it officially launched me into my late 20s. I’m a 27-year-old now, and even though the ring of that takes some getting used to, I do think I feel like a 27-year-old. When I was younger I had a clear idea of where I’d want to be by this […]
