on love + how to make your house smell lovely

i recently read this post written by emily of ember grey called, to love oneself. i loved everything about what she wrote and could relate to it so much. it’s beautiful and i recommend reading it- there is so much truth. as i mentioned last week in my letter to my sixteen year old self – love has been a big part of my journey. {ps: thank you again for all of the love about my letter} i have experienced all kinds of love- real and
imagined, deep and shallow, reciprocated and unrequited, deep and shallow, true and false, healing and quite hurtful. in my opinion, love is the most powerful emotion there is and sometimes the nuances of it and the way it changes over time- especially with
each new fall- is what keeps it the most important thing we in this one life. if you think about it, it’s the driving force behind everything that we do… and the one thing that can rock your world or shatter it in just one
instant. in my short thirty one years, i have had such a wide
variety of experiences in love- i have had my heart broken and have broken a
heart {or two} myself. but as it’s said over and over — you can’t love anyone else
fully until you love yourself. despite all my relationship highs and
lows, the relationship with myself has been the most tumultuous and
continues to be the one i need to work on the most. it’s all a work in progress; however, i feel like i have come such a long way- and will probably always be something that i strive to enhance daily.

 burn them in their home as an evening ritual. you light the tip
with a match to start a very slow burn, and gently wave it around until
it burns out. it smells like a bonfire, with hints of cedar and citrus. it makes your home smell woodsy and
incredible.
