About the Blog

After years of struggling to find my purpose in life I was left feeling burned out and depressed. I realized that I had the power to make every day amazing by learning to love myself and discovering joy in the little things. No judgments, all love. Nothing Needs To Be Done is an online space where I share practical advice, self love inspiration, nourishing recipes, and my story.

About Rae

I’m a gemini and yes I believe in that stuff, if I know your birth date you better believe I’ve astrology stalked you.

I am hopelessly addicted to coffee but I’m okay with it.

I am happiest while floating in a warm sea.

I can watch Youtube for hours on end but I do my best not to. (But why is it so addictive though)?

I’ve lived many places; Twin Falls, ID; Los Barriles, Mexico; Boulder, CO; Tacoma, WA; Thai Chung, Taiwan; Beijing, China; Hood River, OR, Portland, OR; and most recently Berkeley, CA.

About the newsletter

My newsletter is all about giving. I share two posts every month. In one post I share more about my personal life and plans and in the other I share interviews with up-and coming-bloggers. I love that I have a way to connect with my readers on a more personal level and that I can support my fellow bloggers. In the future I might share more frequently but you will always have the option to opt out (no one needs an overflowing inbox). The newsletter is the best way for me to have a direct connection with you! It offers a line of communication between us. I know it is scary to share your email but no spam will be sent from me.

If you would like to be in the newsletter as a featured blogger head to the contact form and send me an email.

Nothing Needs To Be Done is where I love to share the things I love!

FAQ

Where are you from? Twin Falls, Idaho

Where do you live? I currently live in beautiful Berkeley, CA.

Who takes your photos? I take all photos in which I am not photographed. My housemates, friends, family, and very patient boyfriend all help take photos that include me. Or I use a camera remote and tripod to capture myself. Occasionally I collaborate with photographers and I credit them.

What camera gear do you use? I recently upgraded to a Canon 5D Mark III and I most often use a 50mm prime lens. Sometimes I throw up an iphone pic because the best camera is the camera you have!

Do you share sponsored content? I will occasionally share content that is sponsored, it will always be clearly marked and my opinions are always my own. I only work with brands I love.

Why is your blog called Nothing Needs To Be Done? I am often paralyzed when I am confronted by too many possibilities. It’s not that I don’t think I can do the things it’s that I want to do them all. When I feel that way I take a step back and remind myself nothing needs to be done. I like to believe that merely being alive on this planet makes me inherently successful which makes everything else a choice. This gives me a great sense of freedom. I want to spread that feeling to the world.

Can I use your photos for my blog, social media, report etc.? You are welcome to share and use my photos on any site so long as you give proper credit and link back to this website or appropriate social profile. You may not alter my photos in anyway including filtering, adding text, or drawing mustaches on my face without express permission.

Wow, you made it all the way to the bottom! Thanks so much for your interest, I’ll do my best to continue to fascinate you. In the mean time keep clicking!

Love and light,

Rae
