Things That Make Me Feel Good

January 24, 2021

We are spending so much time at home, that we are forced to stop and look at the little things that we do around the house that make us feel good in our skin, and that make the day worth living fully. Without doing so, we may all just go a little bit insane, and none of us want that. What are part of your simple at-home rituals that are keeping you cheerful and motivated even if you are lacking a sense of direction? For me, it’s giving myself a true time out for some TLC. Stopping to listen to my body helps me rejuvenate, even if it’s something as simple as lying on my back on my yoga mat and just paying attention to my breathing. It seems so small, but it actually is a HUGE help. Rituals like this are larger than life, and they most likely will be for a long time to come. To think we overlooked these little actions in the past so many times. Today, they shine.

Fitting Into Natural Spaces

January 24, 2021

These polaroids are some of my favorite photos that I took while in California for the holidays. Vasquez Rocks is one of the most beautiful places, and it happens to be just a few minutes drive from where we grew up in the valley. I love looking up the history of these natural geological structures that I find in California. The native people who lived here before the Spanish arrived were the Tataviam people. And Vasquez Rocks was named after a Mexican bandit. These instant photos really capture the colors of the high desert so beautifully. I’m literally so hypnotized by it, and so in awe of these natural structures still standing on our earth, that I had to find a way to fit into the natural space as a tribute to their beauty. So here they are.
