Where have I been
Hi everyone! I’m finally back for good this time. Some of you may know I’m not the most open book, and life threw a few curveballs my way that put me on pause for a bit — but I’m here now, and I wanted to give you all a little update!
Work: Work has been… well, work! Last summer was rough with long hours and not much flexibility, but I’ve been figuring things out and getting back into balance.
Family: It’s been a heavy season. We had a loss in the family, and my mom was stuck in Haiti for six months — it felt even longer. During that time, I also helped take care of my grandma for a while.
Mental health: It’s been a rollercoaster. Some days are better than others, but I’m pushing through and doing my best to stay grounded.
On a brighter note — if you’ve been following me (or even if you’re new here), you know I love diving into DIY projects to help keep my mind at ease. I’ve been making candles, soap, body butter, and now I’m even learning how to make incense!
Being on Lemon8 for the past 2–3 years got me into blogging, and earlier this year (February), I officially started my small business, Secrète Scent. It’s been a real learning journey, and I’m so excited to keep growing and sharing it with you all.
If you’re curious, I’d love for you to check out my blog Secrète Scent on Substack, or browse my shop on GoImagine or Etsy. You don’t have to buy anything — I just want to share how far my little DIY world has come.
Thanks for being here with me — I can’t wait to keep creating and connecting with you! #lifeupdates #welcometomylemon8 #heygirls #Lemon8Diary
Life can often lead us through unexpected paths. After some challenging periods, I’ve found solace in various DIY projects, from crafting candles to learning how to make incense. These projects not only provide a creative outlet but also help maintain a balanced mindset during tough times. Starting my small business, Secrète Scent, has been a significant milestone, allowing me to channel my creativity into something tangible. Through sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire others to find their passions in challenging moments. Embracing creativity can serve as a therapeutic way to combat stress and push through life's hurdles. The process of creating isn't just fulfilling; it can also foster a sense of connection with others who share similar interests. As I continue on this path, I invite you to explore your own creative endeavors and perhaps join me in discovering the joys of DIY crafting, community, and entrepreneurship.
