a journey of style and spirit

Jourdana Elizabeth is an abundant storyteller. ‘Waterloo rd. with Jourdana Elizabeth’ feels very much like a portal. Time stands still, honesty pours, and the texture, language, and imagery all work together for the sake of our intrigue.

Nurturing Wind

Writing to nurture you wherever you are.

I am shouting this recommendation because the offered observations, the life experiences, are just that delicious. You know how you can taste when someone has cooked with love? Yeah, that, but through writing.

In Sonder I Trust

By Mish

Sapio scraps on the complexity and colourful chaos of culture and conversations; that's enough alliteration for now.

A newsletter to make you miss and reassign home. The shared obsession with 'saudade' and the readiness to write about the many places we’ve belonged to, is why I subscribe and easily recommend.

soul remedies

By Ayanna Nicole

Soul Remedies is a soft, introspective journey of remembrance. It is a reclaiming of our power, a return to our ancient roots in nature, and an invitation for living intuitively through our spirit.

I eagerly await Ayanna Nicole’s letters because they’re always in alignment and deeply honest. Every word is a mirror. Every reader leaves lighter. I consider ‘soul remedies’ the sage sister to ‘Life Is In Love With Me’.

Armonía

By Sasha Bea

A biweekly newsletter about the beauty & brokenness that accompanies young adulthood.

A neck massage wrapped up in a newsletter. Armonía is normalizing being a deeply feeling, deeply noticing woman and these reflective letters belong to dusk or dawn, both.
