Heyyy! I’m so happy you’ve stumbled upon my little piece of the internet!
In a coconutshell, I’m a 30-something Taurus babe and I whole-heartedly embrace the stereotypes of my sign. I’m a believer of the Law of Attraction, a tarot reader, and a lover of palm trees. A few things that make me happy are ocean swims, inline skating, Corona Seltzers, and tacos.

I was born in the California high desert, surrounded by Joshua trees and poppies. I had a pretty average up-bringing but I struggled with anxiety (and honestly, probably depression too) that plagued me from childhood, through my teens, and into my twenties. I coped with the anxiety by indulging in self-destructive behaviors and wasted many years struggling to feel peace. I chalked it up to being a “wild soul” but I was as lost as could be.
In my late twenties life calmed down when I settled into a relationship. This relationship helped me realize that I was capable of doing more with my life and for a few years things were better. Then circumstances led us to Texas and I thought I would build a fresh life there. From the outside, everything was great. But I hated my corporate job, missed my friends, struggled to fit in, and was SO homesick for California. Then my fiance was in a tragic accident that left him with a permanent, incapacitating brain injury. The next few years were the darkest I have ever experienced and it’s difficult to even put things into words. After three years in Texas, I made the hardest decision of my life and left e v e r y t h i n g behind to come back to California.
What followed was the most intense period of transformation, soul searching, emotional healing, and personal development.
I couldn’t bear the idea of renting a place, buying furniture, and attempting to settle down. Instead I decided to live in my car and I stayed in different cities all across southern California. I fell asleep looking out over twinkling city lights, or in silent deserts. I woke up with turquoise ocean views or lush mountainsides. I spent my days reading tarot cards in pretty parks or with books in cute cafes. I got out of debt, quit my corporate job, started this blog, mended family relationships, and started dating my now boyfriend.
Life wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows but everything I’ve experienced has evolved me into the enlightened person that I am today.
Now I am grateful to live in a charming town called Laguna Beach where family has lived since the 1950’s. This little town also happens to be a hot tourist destination AND the inspiration for my entire Instagram! I love exploring everything around my city and you’ll most likely find me with a beer in hand at the local bars or doing mermaid things around the coves. I live in a 1930’s beach shack with my boyfriend and our very spoiled cats.
I’m no good at weaving words into riveting stories but seriously my boyfriend and I have a pretty epic love story.
We grew up in the same city and went to the same high school. A few years after graduating we started hanging out. We flirted, grew very close, and both had an unspoken crush on each other. This crush went on for over 15 years!
We both left our hometown to move different places and slowly drifted apart. At one point we were both engaged to other people. Ironically our engagements ended around the same time and we got back in touch in 2019. We had our “first date” at the Sawdust Art Festival!
Never in a hundred years did I imagine we would be living together in a little beach shack. He is my best friend, my adventure partner, my photographer, my cheerleader, my comedian, and my red thread. He’s also the only person who has eyes pretty enough to rival my own!
