About

   

hey there. my name is laura leigh*; i'm so glad you are here!
*also known as lel, laurels, l2k, loli, l-squared—i go by many names. 




a little about who i am:
put simply, i'm a creative soul and fitness lover, frequent writer and occasional musician. my mornings (usually) start before the sun wakes with a sweaty workout. hot shower, then hot coffee—sometimes matcha for fun. quiet talks with Jesus realign my perspective before starting the workday. after full days of content creating, i'm heading home with the weekly grocery haul or on my way to a nearby coffeehouse to meet up with a friend. i try to end each day with a good read before bed and a hot tea.

at any given time, you can find me in a soft tee or oversized sweater, a big mug of coffee always in hand. neutral tones are my jam, as is anything simple, minimal, and cozy. coffee shops, greenhouses, and bookstores are my go-to spots, although being home is usually my preferred place to be. making things, writing words, eating delicious food, going on spontaneous adventures (with no plans!), dancing in the kitchen to somewhat-upbeat bops as dinner is simmering—these are the times when i feel most alive and most free.


a little about this blog:
first, a disclaimer: the following blog posts that you will (or have) read are not by any means standards to uphold, but merely suggestions to ponder. not measurements or ideals, just inspiration for daily life. take what you will, leave what you wish. as with most any creative individual, i absolutely love writing and creating and learning and capturing life in its raw form & beauty, and sharing it in my little corner of the internet. and this blog is simply just that—the writings and creations (minimal diys, favorite recipes, documentation of my days—lots more to come!) of a human-in-progress/a student of life, sharing it all here with you.

my hope is that you feel free to stay for a while, to see what's new, to visit the old, and leave feeling a bit lighter and more inspired. i hope you remember the life you have outside of these little pixels and go live it, fully.


& a few favs, just for fun:
+ time: 5:30am; brewing coffee in the quiet morning hours as the sun begins to rise—nothing better.
+ drinks: coffee w. cream, iced matcha, fruit smoothies, & good 'ol fashioned lemon water.
+ movies: pride & prejudice, up, la la land, you've got mail, & inception, to name a few.
+ music: gregory alan isacov, birdtalker, ben rector, mumford & sons, coffeehouse jazz, TOP, vance joy, saint motel, jervis campbell, aaaand so many more but i'll stop there for now.

do we have anything in common?




all in all: i truly believe life is full of mundane moments that are really extraordinary, beautiful, and to be celebrated—often. it is an honor for me to share all these things here with you.

brew some coffee (or tea), get cozy, & make yourself at home—i'll be here, doing the same.
