No one asked, but….

Here are 5 things about me you’ll either not care about or enjoy. 🌿✨

1. My wardrobe is straight out of Animal Crossing.

2. I’m all about hand embroidery—creating kits for cozy crafting vibes. 🧵

3. Spindrift is my drink of choice. Sadly I’ll probably be sick of it by next week.

4. If I could, I’d eat raspberries every day. 🍇

5. My emotional support water bottle is my sidekick. If it’s not invited, neither am I.👭

If this is a bit of you, follow along for more cozy corners of my world!🍄🧸🧵
