Personal & Spiritual Growth

I don’t subscribe to fake it til you make it to feel good, but plenty of messages in the culture suggest it as a wise strategy.

What I know for sure is that moods come and go. Acknowledging them as weather, letting them pass through, and not over-identifying with them is the challenge.

Self-Compassion & Self-Awareness in the Everyday

Daily practices are important so needs, desires, emotions, and beliefs can be held and nurtured.

Mornings are my time for quietude, meditation, devotions, and prayer, but maybe afternoon walks, exercise, or a pocket of stillness before bed is yours.

Robert Frost life quote on Hello Lovely Studio. #robertfrost #lifequotes

Aged Terracotta Pots

The thing is, processing feelings and the journey of letting go can leave us feeling untethered and longing for an anchor. Connecting with nature and others helps us re-member and return to our senses where all the fruit is. Just looking at these earth-fired pots calms me.

Watering Can

Is this the secret to keeping houseplants alive? What is it about everyday essentials that are beautifully made that lift the spirit so?

It’s the little things.

Soulful Lessons from Teak Root

Because the roots of teak trees (grown in South and Southeast Asia) are resistant to rot, they are removed from the ground to make room on the land to plant more. But they are not discarded; they bring new purpose.

When I consider this cycle of growth, excavation, and repurposing, I can’t help but reflect on my soul. What has taken root that would be better served brought into the light and offered to a greater good?

As we devote thought and energy to transformation, it is impossible not to see lessons and examples bloom everywhere!

Are these the cutest or what?

Teak and teak root can be expensive. This little assemblage of wood mushrooms is easier on the pocketbook and makes me smile:

Wouldn’t they be perfect in a woodland-themed kids room?

These also make me feel good to see and imagine what goodness they could hold in months to come.

Market Tote

I know it’s still winter, but as the cold winds blow, I am uplifted by thoughts of what is to come.

One of my favorite parts of summer is discovering fresh vegetables and the unexpected at the farmers market. I haven’t met a market tote I didn’t love, and I have always had a crush on those totes provided at Anthropologie for shopping.

My favorite source for French homewares is still Vivi et Margot.

Do you follow Charlotte who made a fresh start in Provence?

This struck me as rather genius for those who love their market totes but also love having their hands free…

Clementine Cheer

I love the fragrance of oranges and clementines! Escape to 2017 and try eating one in the shower (circa 2017 TikTok, doncha know.)

Eating oranges anywhere is always a good idea if you ask me.

Seagrass With Stripes

Did you know the leaves of seagrass often protect baby animals as they hide from predators? And that seagrass is not so much a food source when it is growing and alive but after it dies and decays?

If these seagrass pieces don’t shout WARM WEATHER, I don’t know what does.

Holy moly, what if we could all do this immediately…

Allergy Season Mask

Both my husband and I have migraines this allergy season. Everybody has an opinion about how to cope, and here’s another to add to the list.

Handmade in their Austin, Texas studio, this soothing mask filled with lentils is as beautiful as it is practical. Try it for headaches (use it warm) and tired, puffy eyes (use it cold).

How to Use: For heat therapy, place the mask in the microwave. Heat in 30-second increments until desired warmth is achieved (no longer than 1.5 minutes). Always test the temperature of your wrap before applying to your skin. For cold therapy, store in the freezer until ready to use.
