the essentials series: finding pockets of whimsy with hannah jean
we're firm believers that wellness doesn't have to be rigid. it shouldn't feel like a checklist. for our latest installment of the essentials series, we're catching up with hannah, a creator who has mastered the art of curating joy in the mundane.
"i think movement is one of the most important things we can give ourselves, both physically and mentally," she shares. "whether it's a run, a long walk, or simply getting outside for fresh air, movement helps me reconnect with myself and the world around me."
but for hannah, wellness is also about playfulness. it's about taking the scenic route home just because you have the time, keeping a tiny tin of sprinkles in your bag to dress up an afternoon matcha, or carrying a lucky sanrio character tucked in your pocket.
life simply feels better when we intentionally make room for a little whimsy. to see how she keeps that energy flowing, we asked hannah to empty her everyday bag.
what's in hannah's bag?
whether she's hunting for treasures at a vintage market or taking a long, aimless walk on a sunny afternoon, hannah keeps her daily carry light, functional, and uplifting.
the soundtrack: over-ear headphones. music is a huge part of my day-to-day life. my headphones are always charged and within reach. a good playlist can completely transform a walk, a workday, or a mundane errand into something memorable.
the fuel: a crisp, fresh apple for clean, on-the-go energy.
the accessory: a classic hair clip for staying cool and chic when the afternoon heats up.
the vibe: hai. papaya sunrise. a bright, uplifting sativa profile perfectly matched for sunny exploration, creative sessions, and getting outside.
the studio: a phone gimbal and stand. hannah is constantly capturing everyday moments through photos and video, and this keeps her shots smooth and intentional.
the non-negotiable: water. hydration, always. and maybe a tiny tin of matcha sprinkles, just in case.
a few of her favorite things
we asked hannah to break down the little rituals and simple pleasures that make her ordinary days feel special.
1. the aimless stroll
a long walk with absolutely nowhere specific to be.
