The last summer of my Thirties
You are a soul who needs music, connection, sunsets, laughter, and small pockets of joy. Prioritize them like your life depends on it because it does. Vex King I will be turning 40 in September, which means that this Summer is the last one of my Thirties. Soon, somewhere in the constellations, Summer sunsets and…

Tattoos and sundresses
I did something very out of character the other day. Something completely unlike me. I got tattooed for the first time. Getting the tattoos wasn’t the part that was out of character. I’ve been wanting to get one for a while now, and in light of my upcoming 40th birthday, I planned on getting it…

Reflections from my Birthday Season
My birthday season was a memorable one this year. I had a two week vacation and had all the time I needed to rest, recharge and get inspired. We celebrated our wedding anniversary at our camping getaway, I spent time with my family and friends, and I went on dates with myself to the spa…

Late August Imprints
This time of year always brings up my most favourite summer memories. Everything that feels nearest to my heart is amplified during this cusp of Virgo season. That cusp of knowing that Summer will be coming to an end soon, so you want to soak in those little summer joys a little stronger. This mid-to-late…

My First Moon Rise
Day-to-day life these days have felt a little mundane. You wake up, walk two steps to your home office, turn on your laptop and work 8+ hours in a virtual office. Day in, day out. Nothing new happens in a WFH cubicle type of life. August 13, 2022: the first time in my life that…

Chasing Midsummer Sunsets
June 21, 2022. My goal today was to see the sunset on the first day of Summer. It had been a busy day at work, and instead of chasing deadlines, I just wanted to chase a sunset. It was not only what my mind needed to decompress and unplug, but I felt it was also…

Lebanese Garden
Early mornings in my parents’ backyard always feel like an official new day. The day wakes up with you. The bees quietly collect their nectar, birdsong breaks the silence of the air, and droplets from last night’s rain drip softly on the sleepy petals beneath. The morning dew enhance the fragrance of the fresh rosemary…

Taking The Summer Off
I have to say, this summer is one for the books. Truly one of the best. Certainly, the highlight of this summer was getting married and the enjoyment of planning our mini wedding. A “fun project”, as my Mom put it. And it’s true. I’ll always look back at planning our wedding as being a…

Bike Route Snapshots
This summer, I’ve plunged into the passion of cycling. I owe my biking interest to Amsterdam, after visiting this charming city in 2011. While on my brief but very enjoyable stay there, I was flabbergasted by its dominant cycling culture. Millions of bikes were parked everywhere, cyclists in suits, heels, dresses and babies strapped to the back…
