March Spotify Playlist

Happy Monday and happy March 1st y’all!! I love when a new month starts on a Monday – it just gives what it’s supposed to give! All the motivating and fresh start vibes I love. Plus, the days are getting longer, the temperature is creeping up, and Spring is right around the corner! This is the first month that I feel somewhat settled going into the month – last month I was on my trip to Arizona when February started, and nobody is settled when January starts! I started a new job last month, and although I am not fully settled into it, I am definitely starting to get settled into my new routine, so it feels nice to start a fresh month off in that routine! Some things I am looking forward to this month: a beautiful photoshoot I did with some of my girl friends yesterday, which we…

Cherry Blossom Photo Diary

If you follow me on Instagram, you already read about my crazy experience at the Cherry Blossom festival a few weeks ago. If not, I will recap briefly! So what had happened was…my friend Jon and I wanted to shoot down there, but I thought it was best for us to wait until Monday or later in the week, rather than Saturday or Sunday which were the “peak bloom” days and the days that the Cherry Blossom Festival were supposed to be held. However, Jon had the foresight to predict that it would get shut down after the weekend, and since he had a shoot on Sunday (that got cancelled lol), we decided it was Saturday or never! As you can imagine, when we got down there it was HELLAAAA people everywhere!! We did our best to avoid the crowds and get our shots, but it was a struggle! You…

Learning to Bloom Even When the Flowers Aren’t

When I moved to the West Coast, I had to internalize the rhythm and the feeling of the seasons. Since the weather is nice almost year round, there is barely any indication that the seasons have shifted at all. Now that I am back on the East Coast, where the weather will LET you know what season we are in, it is definitely easier to keep track. However, this week’s blizzard (on the second official day of Spring) is proof that the correlation between weather and season is not always accurate.What I have found to be a more important indicator than weather, though, is the ebb and flow of energy that take place, which naturally coincide with the seasons. Like the phases of the moon, there are four distinct seasons. In the Winter, we are naturally more introspective, storing energy and “hibernating”; it is a time of initiation, setting intentions,…

March Spotify Playlist

It’s the first day of March, and you know what that means: Spring is almost here!!! After my first winter in six years, to say I’m excited for Spring would be a huge understatement. My soul is longing for sunshine and warm days, my skin is screaming for melanin, and my Spring clothes are itching to come out and play. But what I’m most excited for are the cherry blossoms! Every Spring, DC explodes into a burst of pink trees, including the one right outside my bedroom window. It’s been years since I was here during the Spring to see the Cherry Blossom Festival, so I am just all around super hype for this month and next! What is your favorite part of March and/or Spring? Let me know in the comments below! Anyway, regardless of what this month brings, here is a playlist to vibe out to. Enjoy!Β πŸ’• [spotifyplaybutton…
