My Favorite Escapes: Books, Stories & Movies
I'm a homebody through and through. This is where I share the simple practices, movies, journaling, books, and short stories that make my weekends feel like mine — and hopefully help you romanticize yours too.
I found this so inspiring. Watching Michael Jackson's journey — from a kid with an undeniable gift to the biggest entertainer in the world — is a reminder of what's possible when someone commits fully to their talent, even through everything that cam...
Michael (2026) - IMDb
I love watching strong women lead — and this one is a masterclass in it. Teresa Mendoza starts the series with nothing and builds an empire through sheer will, instinct, and refusal to be underestimated. It's not a comfort watch by any stretch, but t...
Watch Queen of the South
I can't get enough of Bridgerton and historical TV shows. They're the perfect soft weekend escape. I love the way people speaking, the clothes, the prolonged love stories, the societal quirks, the landscapes and food layouts. A perfect escape, anytim...
Watch Bridgerton

Outlander: This is my go-to escape. There's something about getting swept into a different time completely — the history, the slow-burn romance, the sheer scale of the story — that makes it easy to forget whatever I was stressed about for a couple ho...

My favorite way to escape. A couple hours in and I've completely forgotten what I was stressed about. Full weekend-losing energy.
Emily in Paris (TV Series 2020–2026)
This is my daughter's favorite book series, and we've been reading it together — partly to bond, partly because I want to support her literacy, but mostly because I love talking to her about the things that light her up. Watching her get excited abou...
Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi

Shadow Work Journaling
Where my slower thoughts go. Not for to-do lists, not for planning — this one's just for whatever's actually on my mind when I finally sit still long enough to notice.
Spiral Notebooks
This is one of the simplest promises I keep to myself. A few minutes, some honest words on a page, no pressure to make it pretty or profound. Some days it's processing something hard, other days it's just what I'm grateful for. It's become less about...
Here's How to Start Journaling and Actually Enjoy It
I'm a big, big Nora Roberts fan — like, if I need an escape, she's usually my first pick. Something about her books always pulls me in fast and doesn't let go. Strong women, real emotion, stories that make you feel something without needing to be hea...
The Obsession: Roberts, Nora
A big, big Nora Roberts fan over here. Her books are my go-to when I want to disappear into a good story fast. One of my favorite Nora Roberts reads. Mystery, history, romance — the kind of trilogy you disappear into for a weekend.
The Lost Bride Trilogy by Nora Roberts
This one pulled me all the way in. Nora Roberts does it again — a story that mixes mystery, history, and romance in a way that makes it impossible to just read one chapter. I'm a big, big Nora Roberts fan, and this trilogy is exactly why. If you want...
Inheritance (The Lost Bride Trilogy, #1) by Nora Roberts

My favorite Bath And Body Works Candles. This is the smell of slowing down for me. I light it the second I decide the day is done being productive and starts being mine. Something about it just signals to my whole body — okay, we're resting now
Candles
The blanket I reach for every single weekend. Soft enough that I don't want to get up once I'm under it, which is honestly the point. If I'm choosing rest, I want it to actually feel like rest.
Blankets and Throws | Soft, Cozy Blankets
My tea mug of choice — it just makes the whole ritual feel a little more intentional. There's something about drinking tea from something you actually love holding that makes the pause feel real instead of rushed.
Ceramic Tea Cups, Mugs & Tea Sets
This is my Saturday morning mug. Coffee tastes better out of something that feels good in your hands — that's not scientific; that's just true for me.
Warm & Cozy Tile Coffee Mug
This is my nervous system's favorite thing I own. There's something about the weight that just tells my whole body to settle — I reach for it on the hardest days as much as the cozy ones. If you've never tried one, it's less about warmth and more abo...
