As you know from our previous articles we love an Etsy store. Buying handmade and vintage from the comfort of your own home has never been easier.

Houseplants 101
It’s not secret we love a good house plant. Their green goodness brings positivity and pure ~vibes~ to any room they’re placed in, so why wouldn’t you want one (or ten).

Up-dating Modern Romance
I don’t know about you, but the pressures I feel as a young person in society seem to be forever growing and breathing down my neck until it becomes impossible to sweep them aside. We need a solid career path that brings financial stability as well as actually enjoying our jobs; we get deemed ignorant…

Relight my fire-tackling burnout
With so much going off in our lives it becomes hard to ever turn off: from work, social media, life itself, even if just for a second. When I was younger I remembered being able to read a book and become totally immersed in every second of narrative escape. Now I read a book and…
