The Latest

Deliberate, Functional, Relaxed Living

It’s not a lifestyle, it’s your life, actually.

You’re not here to live like everyone else—you’re here to live as you. Forget the competition, ditch the trends, and stop worrying about what others think. Embrace your individuality and just do you.

Hennai DIY Projects

I’m Erica Hennes.

Erica Hennes

I like to consider myself a Midwestern Californian due to my deep sense of humor, sarcasm, and low tolerance for bullshit, but I still like living somewhere that has sun & water & isn’t flat.

I learned the art of DIY from my parents so I have never been afraid to take on something new. Full disclosure... it doesn’t always work as planned, but I guess I like doing things the hard way.

I am dedicated to featuring a mix of interests, how I approach house finances (I’m shockingly crazy here), DIY projects, sustainability, and most importantly featuring some really amazing small business owners.

If you are interested in working together or just want to say hi, please send me a DM here on Instagram. I like to avoid the formalities of email as long as possible.
