To be honest, I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock lately. Not in a dramatic way. Just in that low hum of life where everything feels busy. These past two months have been full-on: moving homes, studying for my driving license (yes, finally!), trying to keep up with work, organizing my space, and tackling the everyday hustle of adulting like a pro.

Somewhere between meal prepping and memorizing road signs, I’ve barely had time to unwind—let alone blog. Writing here that feels like a mini exhale. Like I get to pause for a moment, reconnect, and reflect on where I’m at. And lately… I’ve been thinking a lot about where that is.

Eat, Pray, Love Era?

Not the travelling kind—been there, done that, bought the silk pants in Bali. My twenties were full of solo and trips with friends, spontaneous adventures, and figuring things out on the go. I also travelled through Sri Lanka, wandered barefoot through beaches, rice fields, and journaled in cafés with coconut lattes and a curious heart.

Now? It’s quieter.

I’ve swapped planes for planners, and backpacking for budgeting. I still crave that sense of self-discovery, but I’m finding it less in plane tickets and more in everyday things—like perfect spice jars or a new way to fold laundry. (No, seriously. Organizing is my therapy lately and makes me so happy.)

Maybe it’s part of being in your 30s. Or maybe I’m just in that in-between space where a lot of us land: wondering who we are outside of work titles and family expectations.

Reclaiming Time

I’ve been doing all the “right” things—going to run club, hitting the gym, stretching it out at yoga, reading books that promise answers. But I still find myself asking the big questions:

What makes me happy?
What’s my identity?
What’s my purpose?
What’s my destiny?

Heavy stuff, I know. But sometimes it takes a little emptiness to make space for clarity. And while I haven’t cracked the code, I have started finding comfort in the small things. Things that make my everyday feel a little more like me.

Here are five little joys I’ve been leaning into lately:

Organizing My Space (and Mind)

There’s something deeply satisfying about getting your life in order—one spice jar at a time. I recently went all in on reorganizing my kitchen: labeled jars, new containers and baking utensils in actual drawers instead of chaos piles. I even did a jewelry organiser rehaul. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that feels calm, functional, and intentional. Like a reflection of the life I’m trying to build.

Shopping with Confidence

I used to think five times before buying anything—debating, delaying, walking away, then circling back. Now? I just ask: “If I had to wear this today, would I buy it?” If the answer is yes, into the cart it goes. With mid-season sales happening, everything is half-price, and guilt-free shopping has never felt so good. New clothes = new energy.

Home-Cooked Meals

Cooking for myself has become such a comforting ritual. It’s not about elaborate meals or Instagram-worthy plating—it’s about nourishment, care, and slowing down. I light candles, put on some music, and make whatever I feel like. Stirring, seasoning, and tasting has become a form of self-love.

Sleeping In Without Guilt

Gone are the days when I saw sleeping in as lazy. Now, I see it as resetting. Giving my body a chance to catch up, my mind a break, and my nervous system a moment of peace. Sometimes a slow morning is exactly what I need to face the rest of the week with clarity—and coffee.

??? (TBD… And That’s Okay)

This fifth spot is intentionally blank. Maybe it’s a reminder that I don’t have to have all the answers right now. Maybe it’s space for something new to enter. Or maybe it’s just me learning to sit with uncertainty, and trust that something beautiful is still unfolding—even if I don’t know what it is yet.

So, if you’re in a similar season of slowing down, searching, or just feeling a bit off—you’re not alone. Life isn’t always about big revelations or bucket list adventures. Sometimes it’s about late mornings, quiet routines, and creating a home that feels like a soft landing.

I’ll be back soon with more posts, but until then—take care of you. And maybe organize spice jars. It helps more than you think.

With love,
Sonia
