About Me

Hi there! I'm Nicci, wife to my supportive husband, Mino, and mother of three amazing babes. We bought our first home in 2018, which refreshed a lot of my self-growth and creativity, but as a military family, we move every few years and are now in beautiful Southern California. I have a lot of passions in life, to include motherhood; living a sustainable, holistic lifestyle; creating and trying new plant-heavy foods; creating art and designing spaces that bring people joy; while still seeking adventure whenever I can. We have a busy life, but I strive to live as minimally, functionally, and simply as possible.  

I am passionate about the environment and people and the interaction between the two; and am currently a student of Anthropology with a concentration in Environmental Sustainability. I am also in the middle of working toward my certificate in Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coaching. I aim to bring as much of the natural world into our home and the way we live, whether through design, shopping secondhand, or the way we fuel and care for our bodies. I find so much value in listening to people and personal experience. My goal is to lead by example, starting at home with my own children and extending outwards, showing people that it's the simple joys in life, the ones that are often overlooked and undervalued in today's world that we need the most. I find that in doing so, we can not only define ourselves more clearly, but we can understand each other and make a greater impact on our planet for the better. As a result of these understandings, I believe that faith, kindness, and self-care can go a long way; and that by fueling each of these individual passions, we can create a wholesome, joyful life in the spaces we are happy to be in. 

This "self-definition" journey has been a long one, and is definitely an on-going process, but I am seeing the importance of nurturing it now more than ever before. My goal here is to help inspire you along your own journey. I'll be sharing stories, tips, real-life experiences, and so much more. You can follow along on Instagram daily and the blog weekly. You can support my journey by sharing and subscribing to the blog. Either way, thank you so much for your support!
