I’m a huge wine drinker, and have spent YEARS curating my favorite recs, from gadgets to accessories to glassware and beyond. Here are all my favorites, let me know if you have any questions!

All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

Here are some courses I have taken over the years. Most of them have to do with Art (as that's what I love), Marketing/Social Media and with AI as i'm fascinated with it and let's face it, if you don't keep up with it you will be left behind. I don't think AI is going to take over anything but it has definitely made my life a little easier in my work and side hussles.

I’ve been teaching myself to sew this summer, and along the way I’ve stumbled into some absolute gems on Etsy—those easy, breezy dress patterns that make you feel like maybe, just maybe, you’re getting the hang of this. This list is kind of a love letter to the ones that made me feel good. Patterns that didn’t overwhelm me. That felt fun. That came with a little “you’ve got this” energy when I needed it most. Some of them are trending like crazy (hello, TikTok rabbit holes), and others are just quiet favorites I keep coming back to. I’ll keep adding as I go. If you’re learning too, or just looking for that one pattern to spark your next project, I hope you find something here that makes you feel excited to sew again. 🌿

Broadway is more than a hobby for me—it’s my full-on special interest. I see at least six shows a year (sometimes more if I can swing it), and the theater has become one of my happiest places. Whether I’m sitting front row or way up in the mezzanine, if the show grabs me, I’m in. And if I really love it, I’ll be listening to the soundtrack on repeat for weeks (or let’s be honest—months). This list is reserved for the shows I’ve already seen (some more than once) and would absolutely see again. They’ve stuck with me—whether it was the story, the cast, the music, or just the overall vibe. That said, I’ve definitely had a few disappointments along the way (Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge, and Peter Pan just weren’t for me), but everything here earned its standing ovation in my heart. If you're looking for show recs or just want to compare favorites, welcome to my theater-obsessed world!

Grab these before the holiday rush hits and you're scrambling again.

Crafting must haves for me but definitely in no particular order. These are some of the things I use on a nearly daily basis to create, whether these are digital invitation templates or physical items, like cupcake toppers or custom banners.
