Recent life has been lovely lately. I’m enjoying the cooler weather, I’m learning new hobbies, I’ve been in the holiday spirit, and my soul is at peace. I feel happy and would love to share some of my random fall updates! The little things in life have always been meaningful to me, and there’s so much to appreciate & enjoy in life.

Update #1: I learned how to knit and how to cross stitch! I am learning new hobbies to have new creative outlets. I learned how to do a basic knit stitch & am currently working on making cup cozies! I’ve also just learned how to do basic cross stitch & am working on cute cross stitch patterns! :)

Learning to knit!

Update #2: I saw my first tarantula! I recently went hiking with my roommate and manifested seeing a tarantula, which is wild that we then came across one! It was a cutie guy and now I can cross seeing a tarantula off my bucket list.

Update #3: I’m in the holiday spirit! Fall is a lovely season! I enjoy wearing fall outfits and indulging in spooky season, and then getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas to come. My roommate and I were able to classically carve pumpkins this year for Halloween. And now that Halloween is over, we’re slowly planning our Thanksgiving menu (we are making ourselves a feast this year), and we’ve acquired a set of Christmas pajamas! ;)

We’re artists! 🎃

First pajama set for Christmas! Possibly more to come. 🎄

Update #4: I’m getting back into running. I’ve only been on a few runs recently, but am doing my best to go on more runs after not running for almost a year! I forgot how much I enjoyed going on runs! Hopefully I can stick to it and build my endurance back up! Slowly but surely.

A slow running process, but doing it nonetheless! 🏃‍♀️

Dead from a run!

Update #5: Continuing to enjoy the little things. There’s been so many things I’ve been grateful for lately. All the little things in life can be so meaningful, and they’re always there throughout the different seasons of life. The little things have been bringing me joy recently & makes me excited to see what’s to come in my next season of life.
