Skin, Hair, and Healing: Reflecting on August & Resetting for September

August was… a lot. Some months just feel heavier than others, and this was definitely one of them. Professionally, emotionally, mentally—it stretched me more than I expected.

When life feels overwhelming, I’ve learned that my daily habits—like caring for my skin and hair—can make a big difference. They’re routines that ground me, remind me that I deserve love and care, and help me feel centered again.

In my latest video, I share:

It’s part self-care, part life update, part fresh start.

If August wasn’t your best month either, maybe September can be our chance to reset together. ✨ Here’s to new goals, gentler self-talk, and giving ourselves the space to grow!

Smoothie Bowls & Self-Compassion: Notes from a Recovering Perfectionist

This month, I filmed something a little different: a quick video from my car talking about something that’s been on my heart lately—perfectionism.

More specifically: recovering from it.

Perfectionism has been a quiet thread in so many parts of my life—how I show up, how I measure success, even how I speak to myself. And while I’ve gotten better at noticing it, unlearning it is still a process.

If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to your performance, or like you’re never doing quite enough—this one’s for you.

It’s not polished. It’s not planned. But it’s honest—and that feels like a step forward.
