  • The 12 Best Beauty & Health Subscription Boxes

    the ultimate guide to subscription boxesEver since I first signed up for a monthly subscription box and realized how many options are out there, I’ve been wanting to put together a post to compare them all for everyone else feeling overwhelmed. There are certainly more out there, but I tried to focus on those that are beauty and health related, and that ship out on a monthly basis (some out there are quarterly).

    What’s your favorite subscription box? I’d love to hear!

  • Witching Hour

    witching hourHere’s another shot from our Sisters of the North shoot. I love this photo, though it didn’t make the cut for the set (I thought the photo of us from behind was more interesting as a part of the series).

    Every time I look through those photos I love them even more. Lately I feel so much creative energy in every facet of my life. It’s an amazing feeling to share original work with the world, and I definitely plan to continue the trend.

  • Sisters of the North

    sister witches dressA few weeks ago Taylor made a long overdue visit home, and we finally got to venture out in costume and get back to old habits. I bought this scarlet dress at a thrift store well over a year ago and it’s been hanging on my clothing rack waiting for this shoot to come to fruition. We were inspired by witchy glamour, convening with nature, the spiritual atmosphere of a late autumn in New England, and always, the power of being sisters.

  • Have the Perfect Weekend

    riley and konrad explorersAn outtake from our recent excursion. 

    What are your plans for the weekend? I’m hoping to have a simultaneously relaxing and productive one. Translate to: get 12 hours of sleep a night and spend long spans of time painting and cleaning the house. Sounds perfect, right?
