Six months in, six months to go — and no, this isn’t a post telling you to hustle harder.
Instead, this is your reminder that you’re allowed to slow down. That a mid-year check-in doesn’t have to come with pressure, just presence. Whether you’ve been in your ‘soft girl’ era, your ‘just surviving’ era, or somewhere in between — there’s still so much joy, growth, and you-ness in this year.
This isn’t a rebrand. It’s a reset — soft, simple, and yours.
Life Lately
Between holidays, work chaos, and general life things, I stepped back from blogging for a little while. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been living. I’ve grown my TikTok, spent more time offline, and reconnected with myself. And that’s worth celebrating.
My Favourite Mid-Year Shifts (That Feel Like You’re Taking a Deep Breath)
💫 Less screen time, more real time
A walk. A coffee. A phone-free catch-up with someone you love. It makes such a difference.
💫 Protecting your peace
Not replying straight away. Prioritising time for you. Saying no to things that drain you.
💫 Romanticising the now
Lighting a candle in the morning. Making your oat latte like it’s a ritual. Listening to music that makes you feel like the main character.
It’s the tiny things that remind you who you are.
💫 Taking up space again
Whatever you paused — your creativity, your movement, your blog (me!) — you can come back to it when it feels good. There’s no deadline on doing what you love.
A Gentle Mid-Year Prompt 💌
What’s something you want more of in the second half of the year — not because you “should,” but because it makes you feel good?
Write it down. That’s your intention, no pressure attached.
If You Needed to Hear This:
You’re right on time for your life.
Let the next six months feel softer, lighter, and more aligned with you — not anyone else’s timeline.
