What started as a book blog in 2019 has now morphed into an Instagram community built around those small, simple moments in life. My work is meant to capture the details of life and travel, like a half-drank cup of coffee at a cafe, a flock of birds at the beach, or reading the last few pages of a good book at sunset.
Whether I'm telling this story through photography, video, or Patreon write-ups, I focus on the truth and authenticity of my experiences at home and on the go.

Update on my current reads and happy pub day to The Familiar!!! The final copies are GORGEOUS!! I can’t wait to get my hands on one. 🔥🐉 The Night Ends With Fire: I was super intimidated to start this one, because I’m a little afraid of long books, but it’s turned out to be one of the most compulsively readable fantasy books I’ve encountered. I’ve been able to easily read 50-100 pages in every sitting, which is a lot for my chronically distracted brain. 🦂🍷 The Familiar: Dare I say this is the best Bardugo yet? So far, it absolutely is. I’m obsessed and I think everyone else will be as well. Run don’t walk to your nearest indie and get this one for yourself!!
My Daylist as recent reads ✨ Projections by S.E. Porter–Though there’s really nothing romantic about the screaming in this one 🙃 Revelator by Daryl Gregory–Eldritch terror in the Great Smoky Mountains that has to do a lot with pig farming The Dance Tree–A whole lot of love was lost in this book and I still haven’t recovered
When you match your favorite book of the spring 😊 A monstrous love story that's both wicked and wondrous. Someone You Can Build a Nest In is filled to the brim with guts, gore, and heart(s)–just like Shesheshen, herself. This one will quickly become a favorite of those of us in our villain era. How can something so grotesque be so dang cute.
A little Tuesday afternoon pickup coming to your feed ✨ . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #ofsimplethings #freezethepicture #aestheticvibes #slowliving #slowandsimpledays #mybiegelife #romanticizeyourlife #livethelittlethings #momentslikethese #momentsofmine #theartofslowliving #darkacademiastyle #winterdays #quietshadesofbrown #academiaaesthetic #vintagemood #darkacademiaaesthetic #wintervibes #wintermood #coffeegrams
As we look towards April, I wanted to highlight some of my most anticipated releases for April 2024! Some of these I’ve read already and loved, some of these I’m dying to get my hands on. What books are you looking forward to this month?
We made it to Friday friends ✨
Currently reading and just finished ✨ 🚂 The Cautious Traveller’s Guide: The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands has captured my attention in a way no book has since The Night Circus. The Wastelands is both whimsical and sinister, and yet, so substantial that it feels like it's waiting just outside your window. This book will leave readers of all genres–historical, fantasy, even mystery-lovers–in complete awe. 🔍 Foul Days (50% through): So far, Foul Days is an absolute joy of a book. Full of character antics, thrilling escapades, and shadowy Slavic folklore, this one has read-in-one-sitting potential–I would have gotten through it yesterday if I hadn’t started reading so late!
The first signs of springs are finally here 🌿
It’s a little known fact that you can just use the fancy glassware whenever you want… even if that’s just a random Tuesday
One more step in our kitchen re-do completed. To give you all some context, we hired a contractor in 2020 to help with a small kitchen remodel. They came recommended by someone we knew personally and seemed to check all the boxes. We paid about $2.5k for them to cut down a bar height wall to counter height, reroute some electrical wiring, and build/install open wood shelving. They left us with a gaping 3in hole between the top of the wall and our countertop where they cut incorrectly, and the shelves they built weren’t flush to the wall and leaned very precariously. Plus, they weren’t even sealed or finished. When I asked them to come fix their mistakes I was told they would charge me for the time and that “the shelves are just going to do that”. I hate confrontation so I just decided to live with it. This past year we paid a different contractor to come fix the wall, but we’ve still been living with the shelves that I absolutely hated to look at. So, we took matters into our own hands and installed this gorgeous hutch top to replace our shelves ($20 Facebook marketplace find for the win) and turned our smaller shelves into a coffee station so I can proudly display my mug collection. All together our kitchen re-do has cost us around $200 and I’m now filled with joy every time I walk into my kitchen ✨
