Welcome in!

This journal page is a place for inspiration. A special space where your love for flowers, beautiful design, and holistic living meet. 

This space is for you, and all the parts of you that love being home. Home to you is so much more than a sanctuary or a refuge. It’s a place where you BELONG. It’s a place where you not only unwind but also from the moment you come in the door, the heaviness of the world will melt away.

You LOVE being home. 

Home is where your health and well-being are a priority. 

Home is where you feel safe and can take off your armor.

Home is a place where every member of your family feels nourished.

Home is cozy moments, fuzzy blankets, Sunday snuggles, and reading by a warm fire. 

Home is filled with good medicine for your body, mind, and soul.

I created this place for you to find inspiration for the home you dream of living in, whether it's a tiny home, a cottage, or a funky A-frame. 

What’s special about this journal and what I share with you here, is that I’ve tried and tested nearly every item, ritual, and recipe you'll read. I hope you enjoy and love them as much as I do.

A little bit about me: I’ve lived in a variety of homes. 

Just to name a few - from a humble ramshackle home in the Philippines to a San Francisco city flat - to a suburban old Victorian (hello tiny closets!) all the way to a hexagon shaped home in middle of the forest, I’ve lived in a lot of different places. 

I’ve shifted and changed with all of the different homes I’ve lived in. I’ve also lived with growing children for most of my adult life. I’ve seen the inflow and out-flow of belongings that come with births' beginnings and children leaving the nest. I’ve also been divorced and had to build myself and my home back up again from scratch. 

I've been a creative person all my life. From working in fashion design to teaching yoga classes, my experiences have spanned the design and wellness space. Now that I live in the country, I bring my background in design and holistic living to growing and creating with flowers. My clients range from coffee shops, to medi-spas to indie shops throughout California and beyond.

I'm absolutely grateful for what I get to do every day to bring more beauty, joy and love to living spaces. 

Ultimately, I created this journal space because I hope it will inspire you to create a home that reflects and nourishes you. A home that nourishes you fullly: mind, body and spirit, where flowers are abundant and where you and your family can flourish. 

Welcome home. 

With all my love.
