chaos

This weekend was a peaceful one for me. Lately I’ve been super overwhelmed and feel like my life has been turned upside down for the past 2-3 months. I have this idea that since I know about emotional regulation and self care that life will somehow be easier for me? Turns out it’s not! Like …

camera

I did a branding photo shoot for the first time! I can’t tell you how many new things I’ve done since I started my business, some that I didn’t even realize were a thing! This photo shoot was a fun new thing for sure. I learned so much doing this! I learned how much work …
