Seattle rain is the perfect excuse to slow down and romanticize your cozy indoor hobbies. Whether you're curling up with a book, journaling by candlelight, learning calligraphy, or baking something sweet — here are all my favorite things to make rainy days feel extra comforting 🌧️

Starting your running journey? This beginner-friendly gear list covers everything you need to get out the door—from high-support sports bras and breathable shorts to cushioned running shoes (with wide-foot options), hydration belts, and even bone-conduction headphones for safe outdoor runs. I use these for 5Ks, daily jogs, and long walks—perfect for new runners or anyone doing 10,000 steps a day.

This isn’t just any 5K – it ends with a Diplo DJ set, so the outfit needs to perform and party. I put together everything I’m wearing and using to train, run, and vibe: tops that breathe, bottoms that don’t ride up, comfy running shoes. If you're also running for the music, this list is for you.

My grab-and-go paddleboard kit! I keep everything in one big bag so I never forget anything. This is all I need for a chill day on the lake: board, pump, life jacket, dry bag, water shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses strap, phone pouch, towel, and a quick snack. Easy, simple, and stress-free!
