HEALING. TRAVEL. ADOPTION.

Hi! I’m Andrea.

Life is an adventure. Let’s navigate it together!


I’m a Midwestern millennial with a passion for creating a life that feels good inside and out. My husband and I are always chasing our next adventure, whether that means traveling to new places or embracing the incredible journey of adoption.

Over the past few years, I’ve been on a personal healing journey, focusing on holistic wellness in all its forms—mind, body, home, and heart.

Here, you’ll find my favorite product recommendations, tried-and-true wellness tips, and little glimpses of our journey. I’d love for you to come along for the ride!

My Journey

Like many of my fellow elder millennials, my twenties were a whirlwind of habits I now cringe at—weekly tanning bed visits, an obsession with Bath & Body Works scents, intense cardio sessions, hormonal birth control, and a diet fueled by caffeine, sugar, and convenience. Self-care wasn’t even on my radar. As the years went on, life piled on more stress—grad school, a demanding corporate job, infertility struggles, and a lack of healthy emotional coping mechanisms—all culminating in anxiety and depression.

I knew something had to change. My healing journey has been a slow but intentional process of unlearning harmful habits, prioritizing wellness, and embracing a more balanced, fulfilling life. Now, I’m here to share what I’ve learned—my favorite wellness discoveries, our travel adventures, and the exciting path to adoption. I’ve spent countless hours researching the best products and practices, and I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can help other women navigating similar challenges.
