  • You need to check out her mindful moments series!

    I just adore her mindful moments series! When I’m feeling overwhelmed or a creative block, it’s so great to open up one of them and get an inspirational idea or a way that I can tap into being more grounded and mindful in that moment. Highly recommend the bubble bath one! Because I just love bubble baths, and a good excuse to take one. 😜
