I’m so excited to launch this website, which has been something I’ve had on my mind to do for quite some time.

If you’re like me, you may have noticed that the world is a…difficult place to call home these days. There are terrible things happening in the news at a breakneck pace, work stressors, financial stressors, responsibilities, challenges, etc. to deal with, and quite frankly it can drag you down just dealing with the heaviness of it all.

As a 40-something woman, I fondly remember my childhood and teen years in the 80’s and 90’s. I’m not sure if it was just because I was younger then and unburdened with the adult responsibilities I deal with today, or if it was because I lived in a time of real connections with friends and analog activities before the invention of smart phones and social media, but when I look back on the fun I used to have in those days, it’s hard not to look back on those years with a sense of longing.

That’s why I started Everyday Enchanted Life. What started as a mission to bring more whimsy and joy into my everyday life turned into an Instagram account where I shared my cosplay, fantasy book recommendations, art projects, fantasy fitness quests, travel adventures and more. But lately I’ve been thinking about turning Everyday Enchanted Life into something more. I want to build a place where people can come to get ideas, inspiration, tools, templates, and encouragement to bring more enchantment and whimsy into their everyday lives as well. Just because we’re adults with adult responsibilities doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also embrace the joy of playfulness and creativity in our everyday lives.

If that sounds like something you resonate with, I invite you to stick around while I build this site. For now, you can also find me on Instagram at @everydayenchantedlife, where I have been sharing a lot of fun things, creative projects, cosplay, travel inspiration, bookstagram, and more.

I’m glad you’re here!
