Hello, and welcome

Why this journal exists, and what you'll find here.

When I was getting close to thirty, I started paying attention to recommendations. A friend's serum, a book someone pressed into my hands, a new way of starting the morning. Small things, mostly. But together they changed my day-to-day completely, and I grew more in those years than I expected to, inside and out.

For a long time I underestimated what looking after myself could actually do for me. I thought it was all about reading and being interesting. That matters too, it still does. But I learned that the way you care for yourself, your skin, your home, your evenings, your wardrobe, is not a distraction from the interesting life. It's part of it.

So this is where I keep it all: the things I love, the things I want, the things I swear by. I make it with a lot of care. Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy something. I always put the curation first and the link second, and nothing makes it onto these pages just because it pays.

And if you do end up buying something, thank you. You're helping me keep making this.

Pour yourself something nice, take your time, and stay as long as you like. The goddess is in the details, and so, I hope, are you.

With love, Lía
