How I changed my entire life

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Ferris Bueller I mean... he was right.

There’s a little witch in all of us

This is part three of a series, Losing My Religion. Start the series here. Growing up in a tiny town in the bible belt in the 70s and 80s really does a number on a young girl. In this series we've already discussed all the trauma that it can heap onto a person, and if that person is not a believer it creates so much fear and anxiety it can be crippling. Good thing I come from bold, rebellious women. Even though my sweet mama isn't much of a rebel, my grandma and aunts definitely ... continue reading...

Hey there, I’m Gina!

I believe in the magic of soft living, finding joy in every day moments, and building a magical life from the inside out. I’ve spent the last 15+ years sharing my story online – through creativity, healing, and a little rebellious sparkle.

I’m a writer, dreamer, and witchy woman who believes your everyday life should feel enchanting.

Most days you’ll find me with paint on my hands, dirt under my nails, and a journal full of big dreams. I’m so glad you’re here.
