Thanks for stopping by! I’m Natalie, but my nickname has always been Talie! I’m a Nurse Practitioner by day, and a homebody by heart.
After being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2024, (click here for the story) life invited me to slow down and start paying deeper attention — to my health, my home, and the little things that make life meaningful. Now cancer-free, I’ve come to believe that how we live — and where we live — deeply shapes how we feel.
This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share cozy, curated home finds, wellness tips, health education and an invitation to slow living, all rooted in intention and heart. I’m passionate about helping others feel empowered in their health, inspired in their spaces, and more connected to the beauty of everyday life, even the most mundane moments.
Whether it’s creating a home that feels like a warm hug or learning how to take better care of yourself, my hope is that you’ll find something here that supports your own journey — gently, authentically, and with love.
If you have any questions about me or anything else you’ve read here, you can contact me. I always reply to emails and direct messages on social media. I love connecting with you, and I’m so grateful you’re here. You’re warmly welcomed.
xx
Take care, Nurse Talie

What is your favorite drink to order at a bar??
– I usually order a manhattan or whiskey & coke, but I’ve recently been loving moscow mules! If I’m feeling festive, it’s for sure going to be a margarita or a sangria!
What are pros and cons of being a trauma registered nurse?
– In my personal opinion, pros include: getting to do what I love, helping others, feeling fulfilled and like I’m making a difference, seeing patients survive and get better because of the work we do, constantly learning and challenging myself, many opportunities for changing specialties and career growth, job security, flexible schedule that allows for work/life balance and a constant sense of gratitude for my health, life and my loved ones.
Cons include: tragedy and death are part of the job, which can effect one’s mental health in many ways. Constantly witnessing patients and their families suffer can be hard and overwhelming at times. This can lead to nursing burn out and compassion fatigue, which is a very well known term in the nursing world, since it unfortunately happens a lot. Other cons include long shifts, workplace violence and injuries, work can be mentally, emotionally and physically draining, constant body aches, dealing with and adapting to frequent healthcare changes, and the universal shift of increased emphasis on documentation rather than actual patient care.
What are your favorite skin care products?
– I mention all my current skin care favorites on my skin care routine blog post, and swear by these products!
What is something you always carry in your bag/purse?
– Hand sanitizer and lipstick
How do you edit your pictures and what camera do you use?
