hey, i’m jewel! 

so, i have this random blog now?

I’m no stranger to blogging. I had a travel blog throughout college that I loved, adored, and poured so much of my creativity into. It never really went anywhere, and being the excitable creature I am, I moved onto the next bigger and better thing.

One aspect of blogging I missed: I only ever wrote for myself. I would blog to remember the fun times I had with my friends and family. I kept my blog to curate a design, a brand, and fill it with content. That was the fun part. I’ve always done that kind of thing - flashback to my Club Penguin blog I co-ran with some internet friends when I was in the fifth grade. (I know - I’m really cool.)

One day, while I was working at my first big-girl job, I drank literally a single cup of coffee after not having caffeine for a few weeks, and was absolutely wired. I kept tweeting all these thoughts I was having. I posted a ramble-y caption on Instagram about how I had lived one full month in my favorite city - Austin, Texas.

Then, I had an idea. Maybe I should start another blog! Or rather, a journal. So here I am, and here you are, apparently! So happy to have you.

I don’t know what I’ll do with this blog. I’m used to journaling about my travels, so I’m sure some of that will go here. I’ve recently gotten into cooking (Read: I’m a millennial so I have a subscription box, and also just discovered the craziness that is Goop), and I would love to share some of that here as well.

Who knows! Welcome to my new life in Austin!
