Hey there! I’m Charmaine

—mom to two super energetic kids, virtual assistant, and lover of all things simple and cozy. If you’re into keeping life stress-free and full of good vibes, stick around because we’re about to become besties. Let me tell you a bit about myself (no formalities, just straight-up real talk).

Back in 2020, when the world was, well, upside down, I jumped into the virtual assistant world. It wasn’t exactly easy (with my “creative” English skills), but here we are, going strong! I started this blog to share my experiences with minimalist living, personal growth, and, let’s be honest, some crazy stories from mom life.

Simple Living

Growing up, we lived simply—my mom planted veggies in our yard, and we’d wake up to fresh air and the smell of brewing barako coffee. Life was simple but full of love. Now, I carry those roots with me as I embrace minimalist lifestyle tips and share practical advice for keeping things simple. But let’s add a little twist here—living simply isn’t just about stuff, it’s about growing as a person, too.

For me, personal growth and simple living go hand in hand. Think about it: when you declutter your home and mind, you create space for what really matters. Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly living tips, sustainable living ideas, or ways to stay inspired daily, this is your go-to spot. Together, we’ll talk about everything from self-improvement goals to growth mindset habits—and how keeping life simple can make that journey way more enjoyable.

Wellness and Self-Care

Being a mom, wife, and juggling work can be a lot, so self-care is non-negotiable for me. I’m all about easy, effective self-care routines for women that fit into your already busy schedule. In this space, you’ll find tips for holistic wellness, mental health self-care, and daily self-care practices that make you feel like you’ve got your life together (even on the days you don’t). Let’s keep it simple, real, and sustainable because self-care shouldn’t feel like another chore on the list!

Family and Relationships

Family comes first—always. But let’s be honest, maintaining healthy family relationships takes effort, even when your kids think saying “Mom” 500 times a day is normal. Here, I’ll share parenting hacks for busy moms, ideas for bonding activities with the family, and couple’s self-care routines that remind you and your partner to prioritize each other. We’re in this parenting thing together, and a little humor goes a long way!

Simple Recipes

When it comes to food, I’m all about keeping it simple, delicious, and budget-friendly. My recipe section is full of quick and easy meals (because who has time for complicated dishes?). Whether you’re looking for 5-ingredient dinners or simple healthy recipes the whole family will love, I’ve got you covered. Let’s get creative in the kitchen without breaking a sweat—or the bank!

There you go! A little slice of my life and what this blog is all about—living simply, growing daily, and keeping things real. Grab a cup of coffee (or a smoothie, whatever works), get comfy, and let’s figure out this whole simple living thing together!
