For a long time, wellness felt like a full-time job I couldn’t quite apply for. Everything needed to be perfect: my skincare, my mindset, my meals, my body. But eventually I realized: what I really wanted was peace, not performance.

So I created Sweat & Serum to document what it looks like to care for myself in ways that are sustainable, kind, and sometimes messy.

Sometimes that means writing about a stretch I tried and never did again. Sometimes it’s about a product I didn’t expect to love. Sometimes it’s just reflecting on how I feel and what I’m learning.

Here you’ll find honest blog posts, reflections on body image, skincare and rest, and the kind of gentle routines that leave room for real life.

If you’ve ever felt like you were falling behind in self-care—this space is for you.

Thank you for being here.

Here’s to soft starts and slow mornings.
