More whimsy. More wonder. More rebellion.

08.06.2025

In the last week I've had conversations with no less than 5 friends about how we're all in a phase of infusing our homes and lives with whimsy and wonder.

Maybe it's because the world has lost it's damn mind - or this mercury in retrograde is truly revealing what our souls need?
​
I dunno... but I do know that infusing joy into our lives is the best plan I know to combat the chaos being thrown at us every damn day.

So today that's what I'm leaning into...

30 Ways to Find Whimsy + Wonder

You know, the world wants you to believe that whimsy and wonder are luxuries. Frivolous. Optional. Something you can indulge in after you’ve done the “important” stuff.

But I think that’s a lie society tells us to keep us grinding.

Whimsy and wonder are not extras. They are essentials.

They remind us that we are still alive. They interrupt the monotony of survival mode and say, “Hey... remember joy?”

They give us a reason to look up, to pause, to breathe a little deeper. And in a world that profits off your disconnection, that moment of presence? That’s rebellion.

Playlist: Whimsical Songs for Whimsical Gals

You know I ain't gonna go all in on whimsy without a playlist, right? And this one I found on Spotify is nearly 15 hours of songs with alllll the right vibes in case your whimsical era needs a soundtrack...

NEW ISSUE: August Illumine

If you wanna dive into even more whimsy and wonder, might I suggest my magazine?

The August issue of Illumine is an invitation to soften into the season, savor golden hours, and gather every shimmering glimmer that life offers. Anchored in radiant sunlight and the gentle magic of late summer, these pages are a balm for your soul—reminding you that you’re allowed to bask, bloom, and become.

Now go off and be whimsical and find some wonder, k?

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
