healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
It’s not quite to the end of the month yet but since I haven’t posted in now over a month… let’s do a little catch up!
Battling lately: The tail end of my pneumonia recovery (I was sick for almost the entire month of July before we found an antibiotic that worked) + also writer’s block. Y’all, I think I have 12+ drafts of posts right now where I sat down, started writing and ran out of steam 3-4 paragraphs in. Bloggers know the feeling.… Read More »
Sometimes you just have those moments when a concept you’ve been trying to understand for a while just clicks.
Recently I had one of those moments. Life is very busy and overwhelming lately. We’ve had lots of things to do and places to go, lots of thinking about the future, lots of decisions to make. It feels like I’ve been going nonstop since getting back from Hawaii in mid-April, honestly.… Read More »
I’m excited to share day 7 of 30 Days of Feminine Inspiration with you soon! I’m dropping in with an unrelated update about Just to Claireify social media.

Anyways, I don’t want to spend this post complaining but suffice it to say just about everything went wrong and when we were able to rebook our horribly rebooked tickets (ugh, Delta) to a direct flight for one night earlier, I was happy!… Read More »
Hello lovely friends! Lately our life is pretty boring, so I’m going to skip the Life Lately’s for a few weeks. Instead, I’ve been thinking about one of the topics that Fiona Ferris writes about in her “chic” book series (there are three main books in the series + others on more specific topics, like healthy eating and curating a chic closet).
The topic is the importance of finding feminine inspiration and role models/mentors to help guide your personal growth. It’s so crucial to have specific examples of who you want to be as a woman, especially if you didn’t have many strong models of femininity growing up. Let’s be honest–the 90s and 2000s were all about women leaning into masculinity so that they could “make it” in the workplace and the world at large.… Read More »
