Hello, Welcome to Oli and Odi! 🌿

Hi, I'm so glad you're here.

This little corner of the Internet is called Oli and Odi, in honor of my grandmother and her twin sister I never got the chance to meet. I wanted to honor my grandmother's legacy. Odilia always chose natural remedies, home-cooked meals, and sharing a plate of food with loved ones.

Here, I want to share all the little glimmers that light up my days, the hikes that I'm lucky to enjoy, the music that makes me dance, the cozy corners of my home, the recipes that are a win and the ones that are a failure.

This isn't about perfection or having it all together, not even close. I'm balancing motherhood to a toddler, wife life, grad school, and work. I get anxious often, I need to lose a few pounds (eek!) and also trying to conceive our second kiddo.

You'll find bits of :

☕Cute coffeeshops in Orange County.

📚 The books I'm loving.

⛰️ Souther California outdoor adventures

🏡Home projects and pretty patterns that make me happy

🍲Recipes

🛒Shopping on a budget (thrifting enthusiast)

So, welcome again to Odi and Oli. I hope you find something here that feels like a little glimmer in your day.
