A list of things i adore

Pre-release: List Series Preview

Hello lovelies , I wanted to share a little list of things I adore, taken directly from my upcoming eBook that will be released this fall. Each week, I’ll be posting a chapter with diary entries, personal essays, curated lists, and more cozy content. These next three months will be fully focused on writing and sharing previews with you. I also created a new newsletter

just for this to keep you updated, give you sneak peeks, and share deeper thoughts. It will eventually be paid, but for now, everything is free. I'm just excited to bring you along on this journey.

My new newsletter will feature exclusive paid content, along with a selection of free essays and deeply personal, long-form articles.
