Hello! My name is Chandler, and I’m currently 18 years old. I’d say I’m a pretty positive and easygoing person who enjoys the simple things in life. You’ll usually find me with a book in hand, out in nature, or just soaking up some sun. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m outdoors, whether I’m going for a walk, swimming, or just doing some yoga to clear my head. I love taking time to slow down and be present, and I’m always looking for ways to grow and learn about myself and the world around me. Whether it’s through a good story, a new experience, or just spending time with people who make me laugh, I try to find joy in the everyday.

I'm really passionate about the spa and beauty industry, it’s so inspiring to be part of something that helps people feel their absolute best. There's something special about creating a space where people can relax, recharge, and feel taken care of. Right now, I work as a personal assistant and social media manager for a massage therapist, which has been an amazing way to get hands-on experience and learn how the business side works too.

Outside of that, one of my favorite hobbies is baking! I genuinely just love food (LOL), and there’s something so calming about spending time in the kitchen. Lately, I’ve been into making sourdough bread, even though it doesn’t always turn out perfect, I love the process and the challenge.

Let me introduce you to the true queen of my apartment: Bubbles, my mini Ragdoll cat. I adopted her when I first moved to Ann Arbor, and let’s just say... she instantly became the center of my universe (and my camera roll). I found her at the Huron Humane Society which, by the way, is one of my favorite places ever. They’re amazing, and clearly they have impeccable taste in cats.

Bubbles is basically a professional cuddler with a dramatic flair. She’s a total lovebug, but only on her terms. Her favorite toys include a tiny fuzzy sushi roll and a small floppy fish. She carries them around like trophies and occasionally drops them in my shoes as "gifts." She’s incredibly food motivated and acts like she hasn’t eaten in three lifetimes every morning at exactly 6am. Her dislikes include fire alarms, the sound of trash bags, and not being the center of attention. Her favorite hobbies include staring dramatically out the window and judging me from across the room.

I’m originally from Leland, Michigan a tiny little town just north of Traverse City. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, and while it was a peaceful spot to grow up, I always felt like I needed a little more space to grow and breathe. I lived in the same house my whole life, which gave me a strong sense of home and comfort, but by high school, I was ready for something different.

Transferring to a bigger school was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It opened up new opportunities, helped me meet more people, and gave me the fresh start I didn’t know I needed.

After graduating, I moved to Ann Arbor and honestly, I’ve fallen completely in love with it. The energy here is amazing, the people are incredibly kind, and the town itself is beautiful. It’s been such a refreshing change of pace, and I’ve really found a sense of independence and inspiration here.

Right now, I’m working on building my own self-care blog, which has been a slow but exciting work in progress. It’s something I’m genuinely passionate about, and it feels good to finally be creating something that reflects who I am and what I care about.

To be completely honest, just a couple of months ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I felt stuck and unsure, like I was just waiting for some kind of sign. Then I started learning more about the self-care and wellness world and realized this is what I love. Helping people feel good, taking care of themselves, finding peace and confidence.

So now, I’m taking that passion and turning it into something real. I’m starting esthetician school this fall (so exciting!), and at the same time, I’m working toward my associate’s degree. After that? Who knows.
