A Simple Rhythm for Your Glow (and Your Peace)
Hello beautiful souls,
This week I’ve been thinking a lot about rhythm, the quiet kind that doesn’t demand anything from us, but gently invites us back into ourselves. Yesterday morning, while cleaning my little skincare corner, I realized how much calmer I feel when everything is simple. A few trusted products. A small ritual. A slow breath.
Simplicity has a glow of its own.
And that’s the heart of this week’s letter: nourishing your skin and spirit with less, not more.
Let’s begin where we always do—on the page.
Ink & Wildflowers
Word of the Week: Steady
Word Garden: calm • grounded • simple • faithful
When life feels rushed or loud, the most nourishing thing we can offer ourselves is steadiness.
Not perfection.
Not productivity.
Just presence.
Steadiness is the hand on your heart, the warm cloth on your face, the prayer whispered before you step into the day.
Simplicity is not a deprivation. It is a return to what matters.
🌿 Creative Journaling Ideas
Try one (or all):
Map Your Morning: Draw a tiny diagram of a morning rhythm that feels steady to you.
Write a 5-Line Prayer: One sentence for each finger as you place your hand on the page.
A List of Simplicity: Five things you can release to feel lighter this week.
Texture Journaling: Tape or scribble the “texture” of your day—rough, soft, smooth, tangled. What does it show you?
📖 Scripture
“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15

Radiant Things I’m Loving
A weekly invitation to live more slowly and notice beauty.
The steam rising from a warm chamomile tea bag before it becomes a compress.
Pumpkins on my porch, quietly reminding me to grow at my own pace.
An evening walk with no phone—just the sound of my kiddo and my thoughts and stopping to talk to neighbors and pet their cats.
With gentleness, warmth, and gratitude,
Carrie
