Sneak Peek | My New Abode

January 14, 2013 by Hillary 6 Comments

During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I was also amidst the hustle of moving the past three and a half years of my life into a new pad. 

I didn’t move far – just around the block in fact – but it’s still a change… and a good one for that matter.

There’s nothing like a fresh, new space to start off a new year. 

As a college graduate for six plus months, I was screaming to get out my stale college apartment and create a new abode that matched my current stage of life.

The decorating has barely just begun; there are still picture frames to be filled and mirrors to be hung. I’m looking forward to warming up the place when my new roommate moves in, but until then, here is a sneak peak of my new abode.

Cutie Katelyn requested a photo of my new Tiffany blue bed. I’ve got a big crush on my new spread. 

Side Note: I have finally graduated to a “big girl” bed (a.k.a. twin to QUEEN). It’s about time, no? I’m only 23! ;)

Every book is related to food in one way or another – go figure!

To be continued… we can’t forget the most important part of the place (the kitchen!) after all.

    Looks great so far! I moved into my own place (no roommates!) this past August and so far love it. It does get lonely sometimes, but I loved being able to decorate myself. It was the first time I finally upgraded from a twin to a queen and it is like sleeping in a cloud. Can’t wait to see more :)

    I can totally relate! I just moved into a new apartment after 4+ years of living on campus and transitioning home. I got a memory foam full bed! It’s awesome! HomeGoods is an awesome place to get affordable decorations and gadgets for the home. Be careful, it can get dangerous! ;-)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
