The Art of Vulnerability

I started writing to deal with things I was uncomfortable consciously thinking, saying aloud, or sharing with others. By downloading all my secrets and perceived weaknesses onto paper, I felt I could live without their impact in the real world. Pen and paper served as... read more

30 Day Writing Challenge

Those of you who knew me in high school are aware of how often I used to write; it was a daily habit. Still to this day, I have a stack of at least ten notebooks that I filled up cover-to-cover over the years, and that’s excluding the twenty-something that I’ve... read more

ABOUT ME

About Sarah

Hiiiii I’m Sarah – wife to Tucker, mom to two big ole dogs, and the brains behind clean cosmetics line CLOVE + HALLOW. If you could only know three things about me, they should be: I love Disney movies, I *thrive* in chaos, and I deeply appreciate a well-timed f bomb.

I’m passionate about makeup (duh!) and working with busy people to create the productive and fulfilling lives they’ve been dreaming of. So if you’re into tips, tricks, and tutorials on how to eat/drink/budget/beautify your life like a m-f’in BOSS, stick around 😉
