HI THERE!

I’m l. Alexandrea, the writer, chef, food history nut, gardener and creator behind Postcards From Verbena and The Last Sea Witch children’s book series (coming out soon).

On this site, I dig deep into how I discovered the magic to living a passionate, stress free, happy life. It took me three years to create a new life for myself after going through complete burnout. I was such a workaholic and I loved to work, but my body decided it was time for more. You will find recipes, simple cooking tips, insights into living a stress free life, and videos that explore the beautiful island of Hawaii. This blog is dedicated to inspire you to live a simpler, balanced, happy, passionate, joy-filled life! What are my favorite things to do? Eating fantastic foods, playing tourist, relaxing in a hammock, and creating (and visiting) beautiful flower gardens! What does your dream life look like? Go ahead; enjoy my site and learn to indulge in your dreams too!
