about Marissa:

Hi, I’m Marissa — a 30-year-old with a soft spot for cozy cafés, honest storytelling, and the little rituals that make life feel beautiful. I spend my days surfing, exploring new places, listening to new music in my hearing aids, weightlifting and reading every fantasy book I can find. I love learning more about computer science and am an advocate for people with disabilities, like myself. I also love makeup, fashion, jewelry and spending too much money on my dogs. I created this space as a home for all things lifestyle: slow mornings, travel dreams, personal growth, style inspiration, and the messy, magical process of becoming who we’re meant to be.

Here, you’ll find reflections, recommendations, and moments of real-life clarity — the kind we only get when we finally pause and listen. I’m so happy you’re here. Grab a coffee and stay awhile.
