I have a LOT of plants. If you ever see me in my house or working in my office, you'll see cascading pothos plants and really cool pots and planters scattered about on plant shelves and on plant stands. I'm obsessed! This technically happened before the pandemic, but kicked back up during Covid and has stuck pretty hard- especially since I work from home. I like plants that are easy and that will ultimately tell me that they're thirsty without turning colors or falling off or getting sick. I water my plants like once a week and if someone needs more water than that, she probably won't do well with me lol. Let me know if you have any questions!

Here is a list of some of my favorite memoirs/biographies that I've read lately- I will continue to add to this list as I have so many more to read. I personally love listening to a lot of the memoirs written by celebrities and comedians because they'll usually have sidebars, songs, or other bonus things that you won't get from the book but some of these were incredible to physically read. Definitely check them out and let me know if you've read any of these!

These are some of the most beautiful books on my shelf. I will say while judging a book by its cover is a solid way to choose a book- I have a new-ish rule in my house where I only purchase books that I've read and already decided I want to own, so my shelves are particularly curated and hold only the best of the best. As someone who went to school for graphic design and who is also just a lover of arts in any form, I remain fascinated by the talent behind some of these covers. I really think the cover makes such a difference in how a book is perceived by the people who see it, so a really good cover deserves to be marveled.

I read quite a bit of romance every year and these are some of the strongest love stories I feel I have read so far. I will continue to add to this list but I want you to know I read these books and they have stuck with me all of these months, weeks and years later because they're just so dang on luxurious. My sisters always talk about their book-boyfriends and which guys match their vibes the most and I will say a lot of the love stories in this list are ones I would not be sad if I had a similar story to. Check them out!

These are books and authors who single-handedly changed the chemical wiring of my brain through their words, stories, actions or encouragement. I have come back to these books time and time again. I have been forever changed by the words they put on paper and I'll be eternally grateful for each one of them. Check 'em all out!

I've been a work from home girlie since the pandemic and I've been curating the best office situation for quite some time. Check out some of my favorites that I use every single day! Some of these items live on my desktop and others are just items that I simply would rather not do work without. Sometimes I think we overthink what we need to get our jobs done, but I will say a good sticky note, a great pen and a hot latte has always faired me well. Let me know if you have any of these items or have been wanting to get any of them- and if you're looking to splurge, the Ember mug would be what I recommend to start.
