hello! i’m JoMarie
And I am so excited that you are here! Full transparency moment: starting this blog has been a five year ordeal. It was just an idea in my head for quite some time that I was afraid to take the leap towards. I came up with a million different reasons as to why I couldn’t get this started, but it all really boiled down to one thing: fear. As an introvert, the thought of putting yourself out there publicly can be terrifying. However, I finally got to the point where the desire to share the work that I feel so fiercely passionate about outweighed the fear associated with stepping out of my comfort zone. So here we are.
Allow me a moment to introduce myself. I’m a former military brat born in Germany. We moved around quite often, so I learned through the moves that “haus and home” is wherever and whatever you make it. I am a Type A personality that finds discovering new ways to organize and present things exciting. My form of creative expression combines my love of organization, food, and décor. Sharing those expressions with others is what I consider to be my own personal love language.
wANT to collaborate? let’s DISCUSS YOUR IDEA!
I can’t wait to work with you!
get to know me
These are a few of my favorite things…
- CHRISTMAS. Carols. Chai Hot Chocolate. Tree Ornaments. Gift wrapping. I’m obsessed with everything about this holiday season. But what I look forward to most is giving gifts to my loved ones.
- TEA. Not only do I love all of the different flavors of tea, I also appreciate the different health benefits tea offers. I even have my own little bar in my home with about 150 varieties of tea! I enjoy pairing my daily cup with honey and flavorless collagen peptides.
- RETRO MOVIES. I love rediscovering the classics and uncovering for myself what made them great. I’m the type of person that will research more info on these films after I’m done watching them.
- ALEX ISLEY. Her music feels ethereal to me. I literally feel like her music picks me up and takes me somewhere else when I listen to it. I love her so much that I went to see her perform TWICE on her Marigold Tour last year.
- BARRE CLASS. Okay, here me out. Can this class be extremely challenging? Yes. But will it also be so fun that the hour flies by as you sweat? Also yes. I am obsessed and work in at least two classes a week into my exercise schedule.
- NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY. I bought a camera last year to start capturing content for this blog and started randomly taking nature photos when I’m outdoors. It’s turned into a hobby that I enjoy because I find it calming and grounding.
