Hi. I’m so glad you’re here
This blog talks about spending love, creating a home, and spicing up the mundane, everyday routines. I write, you read, and somehow, we both feel a bit better about everything. That’s sort of the goal.
Read the LatestSo, um, here’s what this actually is
When I was thirty and bewildered, I wished there was a blog like Outside My Nest. It covers all the things about home and relationships and all the other strange things that come with being a (growing older every day) woman in 2026 (which feels like a job in itself some days). Full disclosure, I’m not an expert. I’m just someone who keeps trying, keeps writing and thought perhaps other women would want to read it. So here we are!
Lifestyle
Things that are important in silence: unhurried mornings and odd habits.
Things I’ve been thinking about lately
Sorry for the inconsistencies in length – I tend to ramble a bit. That said, I hope you know I put a lot of effort into each piece.
Three things, mostly, that all kind of overlap
I tried to sort this blog into neat categories but than realized my life is very unorganized and not in neat categories (big surprise), so in the end, these three things are still pretty intertwined and that is okay. I think that is sort of the point.
Home that feels like you. Not Pinterest you. Not someone else’s living room you. Just, your home, the way you actually want it. With ideas you can steal.
Love stuff, the honest version. Dating in your thirties (or forties, or whenever, hi). Long-term partnerships. Friendships that evolved. The whole thing. No fluff.
Lifestyle, but the soft kind. The little stuff. Advice you really hope to take from a friend. Routines that work. Books I liked
Other women who, apparently, also get it
It seems like reading this is like listening to a long voicemail from a friend. A voicemail that a friend sends to narrate a story that’s going on. To help myself normalize everything a little, I open the blog every so often.
I came because of home content (I reorganized my entire room because of one post, and not sorry). I stayed for the relationship posts which, like, strangely described my exact situation. So.
This is the only blog that doesn’t try to sell me a perfect life. For once, it actually feels like a real person is talking, and that’s something I didn’t realize I needed.
Okay so, the newsletter thing
At times I send a letter. New posts, the latest thoughts, and occasionally I share a cool lipstick I found. That is all I share, I do not spam. You can leave whenever, no hard feelings, I completely understand.
