About

Welcome

Hi, I’m Kristy

A best-selling author, natural columnist for Willow and Sage magazine, and contributing expert at The Herbal Academy. I founded Life-n-Reflection more than a decade ago to share my simple living notebook, helping others simplify and savor the everyday.

Yep, I was writing here long before Pinterest ever opened its doors. In fact, I was one of the first on the platform when it was by invitation only!

Things have changed a lot since I started Life-n-Reflection (hello Instagram). In the beginning, it was simply an online journal where I combined my eye for beauty in the small things and a simplistic perspective on life. Over time it has evolved into a simple living resource, bringing each season’s gifts into inspired projects for the home and body.

Whether you’re looking to ignite your creative drive, overhaul your routines, or celebrate cozy moments – I’m your guide! And living proof we can fill our days with gratitude, beauty, and purpose.
