Review of Vaness Henry’s Spacious Network App (April 2022)
Season 2 is available on Vaness Henry's Spacious App bringing with it new, immersive sound environments. (I am in no way affiliated with Vaness Henry or the Spacious App. I'm writing this review purely from my own perspective and experience because I couldn't find any...
Engage your human design super sense (cognition): Smell edition
I started reading The Scent of Empires by Karl Schögel and, as someone with smell cognition in human design, I felt suddenly inspired to write about engaging your (smell) super sense! I’m starting with smell because (of course) it’s mine. I’m most familiar with it;...
The danger of saying “be comfortable being uncomfortable” (March 2022)
If you follow personal development, spirituality, manifestation, or any kind of business growth accounts/people/blogs/podcasts, I’m sure the phrase “You have to be comfortable being uncomfortable” has come up. I don’t disagree that growth and expansion can feel...

If you feel like you always need new knowledge or skills… (March 2022)
If you feel lost or directionless and, as a result, feel like you constantly need to learn something new or acquire new skills, remember that knowledge and skills cannot give you a sense of direction. Knowledge and skills are not the end goal. Your bigger vision for...
Update: My tropical vs true sidereal human design experiment (December 2021)
I took a lot of time away from consciously thinking about human design. This was a really healthy thing for me, because I had been overthinking everything in the context of human design and, as a result, boxing myself in in a lot of ways (more about “leaving human...
Money doesn’t really represent freedom (March 2022)
March 2022 Update: Fun fact! I've recently learned my "soul urge" number in numerology is 8, which is all about money, power, abundance, etc. Of COURSE this is a big part of my life journey 😅. Stay tuned for future numerology posts! Original blog post: I was wrong...
How can I prevent dry lips in Winter? (December 2021)
As a lifelong dry-lip-haver, I know what it’s like to cycle through lip balm after lip balm promising “long lasting moisture.” Most of them don’t deliver. BUT, I can tell you what works for me (a white girl in Canada), and has become my go-to method for preventing dry...
Doing vs Being (December 2021)
“It’s not about what you’re doing, it’s how you’re being.” “Do less, earn more.” “Hustle culture is out!” “Rest, rest, rest!” I used to think I completely understood these. And I leaned in hard to them. Rest, you say? On it. There is no absence of “doing.” You are...
My first attempt at photo manipulation / compositing in Photoshop (December 2021)
Okay, y’all. Pretty much since I first heard the word “Photoshop” (many, many years ago) I thought it was so complicated. As a photographer, I avoided using it as much as possible. I edit almost strictly in Lightroom (because, to me, it just clicks). I HAVE used...
Becoming Psychic: Part 2 (November 2021)
I originally started writing this second instalment of my “Becoming Psychic” series back in FEBRUARY (2021). I know, I know. I came back to it in April and made some updates, and then...well, here we are, in November 2021, and I’m only just finishing it now...
Self-exploration through self-portraits (November 2021)
It started in the Fall of 2020. The retreat into the cocoon. Who am I beneath all these layers? The ones I’ve created and the ones that have been placed on me? Who am I when mine are the only eyes watching? How do I see myself? Who do I envision myself to be? What...
Astral travel and the chicken/egg question (November 2021)
“Um, wait, what did you just say, Melissa?” Let’s just do a quick intro on astral travel AKA astral projection. Astral travel is a kind of out-of-body experience in which one travels somewhere else. I’ve seen it described as something intentional, but I think...
Learning to show up confidently and authentically (January 21, 2022)
I think for most people, the end of the calendar year is a time of reflection and, perhaps, planning for the year to come. I'm not really a planner. I tend to focus on the present and make decisions about the future when it becomes the present 😆 (seriously, the most...
One of the first things I heard when starting an OnlyFans account (October 2021)
So, as you may have read or seen, I started an OnlyFans account, which I talk about in this post, including why I decided to create it (March 2023 Update: This page has evolved since first starting it and it is now 🌶🌶🌶, as well.) Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the...
Why I started an OnlyFans account (October 2021)
I started an OnlyFans account mere days ago, but I had actually been pondering it for some time. Here’s how that went in various conversations with friends: *Jokingly* “Maybe I’ll start an OF account, haha. Ha.” 👀 *Jokingly* “LOL, that could be the name of my OF...
My Minimalist Skincare Routine (October 14, 2021)
Is it possible to have a bangin' skincare routine with under five products? Why yes, yes it is. My skincare routine, outlined below, has just four (though if you count two variations of one product, then it would be five - I consider them one product, so I'm going...
Are people leaving human design? (December 21, 2021)
If you’re familiar with human design beyond the surface level, chances are that at some point, you came across it, and were utterly swept up. Certainly that’s true for me. It was slow at first, and then a head first, running jump down a water slide. Once I was in, I...
Ditching the Deo: Products that can be used instead of deodorant (October 15, 2021)
I started writing this post weeks ago - long before the news about Matthew McConaughey and Lizzo no longer wearing deodorant came out. I’m not sure what they do instead, if anything. I think they actually don’t use anything at all except showers. I’m sure that works...
