Checking in with you (Lindsey is with me :P)

Checking in on what's happening with us right now! I'm in Montana with my family until the 23rd & we are enjoying our vacation time post-evacuation. I chatted about how my town is & what are plans are once we can go back home. Love you!

We’re gonna be ok

I wanted to check in with you guys on here & just let you know that I think we’re gonna be ok. Our town is not completely out of danger yet, but if the wind continues to work in our favor & we get rain tomorrow or Tuesday, conditions will improve significantly. There are many reasons why I feel a lot more ease than I did 2 days ago, but I really have to attribute my optimism to the work of my neighbors back home protecting our land & the beautiful space we are able to stay in ri...

Remembering Mac Miller

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Mac Miller’s unfortunate death, so I thought it was fitting to make my writing post this week about him. Mac had a deep influence on my life even though I never met him. I was constantly listening to his music & eagerly awaiting new albums. I watched every interview I could & just felt like I resonated so much with his spirit. His passing taught me so much about addiction & the fragility of the human life. Today, while reflecting on what his li...

No New Podcast

Hi guys! Some of you may have noticed I didn't upload a podcast episode on here last night & I just wanted to let you all know that there will be no new pod this week! I got caught up in pre-filming videos (my main channel vid that went up yesterday, a vlog that will go up this weekend, & my last cover on here) before my friend came into town this week & FULLY forgot to pre-record the pod! I feel like a damn fool, but I'll be back to my regular schedule with a new episode on 9/18!...

Saucy Stills from my New Video!

Nannying for the weekend :’)

Fin & I are playing house this weekend! Lol. I’m nannying Thurs-Sat & he’s been doing renovation work on their house for their dad! He is my construction man coming in the afternoons while I watch the kids! So silly! And we get to bring the dogs! What a life! Last pic in this set is Luke pretending to be the jelly in a jelly-filled donut 😂

Swaying Soul // A Poem

For a little late night writing post this week, I wanted to share a poem that I just randomly flipped to in my journal that I forgot I wrote. ENJOY!

These back country roads

Feel like the inside of my soul

Mossy green + planted deep

Growing tall with swaying leaves

Rooted trunks in the strong breeze

You can't break trees like me

Making Friends in Your 20’s

Hi peeps! For my writing post this week, I wanted to chat about the struggle of making friends in your twenties. I’m curious if you guys would want a whole video on this or maybe a podcast? Comment below what format you’d prefer because I could definitely go into more depth, but I’m just gonna start the conversation here! I really only have 2 close friends in PDX & one just moved away, so I decided to start prioritizing making new connections. I met up with someone yesterday who I�...

(Full, Ad-Free, Early Podcast) Ep. 89: Unrealistic Female Beauty Standards

In this episode, I discussed the unrealistic beauty standards women are held to in our society. I chatted about my personal experiences growing up as a woman & feeling like I needed to shave, change the color of my hair, be tanner, taller, skinnier, etc. I shared a bunch of listener's input on the unrealistic beauty standards they're held to as well, circling back to the fact that we are ALL beautiful no matter who tells us we need to change (even if it's our friends & family). I...

Writing Re-immersion

Hi peeps! For this week's writing post I just wanted to chat about how I really haven't been doing any creative writing in the past few months & I don't even know why! Anything I've posted on here recently that was poetry or short story based was written in April or earlier. I was talking to Finley the other day about possibly doing writing challenges once or a few times a week to encourage each other to step out of our writing comfort zones & get re-inspired & re-immersed in the ...

What a Difference!

HELLO STINKERS! Happy Monday! For my writing post today I just wanted to do a lil ~reflection~ because it's been about a week since I started my scrolling break on IG & deleted Twitter & OH BOY! I got so much done! Every single day since Fin went out of town on the 16th I've either filmed, edited, or recorded! That's crazy! I never work my booty off that much! Lol. It was definitely easier to get myself to work when I'm really just home alone & only hung with friends 2 days out of...

Hosing Down the Hogs

These photos... UNREAL!!! I wanted to share these with you today because I’m taking a break from sharing anything other than work-related or book club content right now on IG & I also deleted Twitter. Who knows for how long, but until then... Only you guys & Ani have seen these shots! Lol. I hosed down the hogs yesterday because they were COVERED in mud (hence Ducky in the last photo) & after I hosed off Peach, she came over to my lap & started nuzzling me for smooches. I wa...

Scrolling Break

Hello! For my writing post this week I just wanted to say that I'm currently doing a "scrolling break" where I am not using Twitter or IG to scroll mindlessly! WOO! Highly recommend as it's only day 1 & I've already finished a book & tidied the house & it's only 1 PM! I really just use scrolling social media as an excuse to not get things done & I'm sure a lot of you can relate. Since Finley has been out of town, I've noticed I've naturally been spending more time on my phone,...

Future Filming + Posting Manifestations (open for suggestion)

Love Feels to Me // A Poem & Reflection

Love feels to me

Like cliff jumping into sea

Only to dive into an ocean so deep & complete

Holding someone's hand

As you sink into safety

And look around at the beauty in disbelief

With you, I breathe underwater with ease

I don't have to hold my breath or come up just to set it free

Together we are intertwined exploring worlds unseen

I'm blessed to spend this life submerged in the sea of you & me

I wrote that poem ...

Photos I Never Shared

Hi peeps! I wanted to share these photos my bff Anneli (@annnelikate on IG) took over last weekend when we went camping! They haven’t made an appearance on IG yet so I figured it would be more fun to share this lil photo album with y’all! Hope you’re all having a lovely day 💚

Who We Lift Up // A Reflection

Hello my patreon peanuts! I was just sitting here today reflecting on who we lift up in our lives. For myself personally, I often lift up musical artists who I blindly believe are good people. I hope they are because they say they are, but I don't know them in real life. How am I supposed to be sure? Instinct? I was holding off on posting about this publicly on IG/Twitter because I was truly hoping he would address it (he hasn't), but one of my favorite artists Nahko Bear was accused last wee...

Audio Posting Schedule Change & Weekend Plans For Me :-)

HELLO PEEPS! Just wanted to come on & share how I'll probably be changing my audio clip/photo posting days for my $3 tier to Thursdays instead of Wednesdays cuz I often delay it or forget to post on Wed. due to Twitch streams at night clouding my damn mind! Lol. Hope you all have a happy & safe Fourth of July this weekend if you're celebrating (or if you're not) I LOVE YOU!

Poll for my Twitch peeps <3

HELLO! For today's writing post I wanted to do a quick poll! I know some of you on here watch my Mon, Wed, & Fri (at 6 PM PST) Twitch streams & I'm curious your input on tonight's stream! I've been making my villagers on Animal Crossing custom yards over the past week & have completed Jay's workout area & surrounding moat, Plucky's farm, & Roscoe's gothic yard. I'm curious if today you guys would like to see me work on Julia's or Alice's? I'm unsure what I'll do for Julia ...
