Saturday Saves are often found on Instagram or Pinterest. I do not own any of these images. I try my best to find and give credit to the original creator. However, if you see something is marked incorrectly please let me know so I can change it. Love, Lady Samantha

Spring has sprung at the Manor, and I am in the process of an aggressive cleaning spree. I turn twenty-five in eleven days- talk about a gut punch. I know, I know. I’m young but there’s something about living the quarter of a century that puts some extra motivation in your step. I’m attempting to clean up all areas of my life and slowly, steadily take control again. One of those ways of taking back control of my life is the organization of my life.

I am zero percent organized. Have you ever lived with an artist? Multiply that by ten for an artist that also has multiple chronic illnesses. It’s the first time in my life where I actually have the mental clarity to slowly create a routine. I’ve always lived in some sort of mental and physical chaos. When you can’t sleep for years, or in constant pain, chaos happily follows you around. I think of chaos as a pet from a children’s book: initially charming and mischievous, but causes overwhelming problems the more time you spend with it. After awhile, you don’t even see the disasters anymore because you don’t remember life without them.

Well, that got dark, didn’t it? Anyway, one of the ways I see myself slowly gathering my life together is organizing my inspiration pictures. For me, that means bringing back Saturday Saves. There are certain pictures that I often go back to, but spend ten minutes trying to find them. Saturday Saves helps me with all of that, and hopefully, helps you feel inspired in the process.

Until next time,

Lady Samantha
