THRIFT LIFE

Natalie spends a great deal of time scouring thrift, antique, and vintage stores for mega-scores for her personal life, to resell, for food styling, for her book photography, and fashion styling props. Are you a thrift life girl too?

CAFFEINE CRAZY

Coffee is life for writers, creatives, and thrifters. If you agree, we've got some merch for you to share your caffeine crazy. This harkens back to the early days of Natalie Wise, and some of her first merch. Nostalgia much?

NATALIE WISE: Author and Modern Lifestyle Philosopher

Happy Pretty Messy is my version of joie de vivre, or the French "spirit of life"---that extra something some people seem to carry with them through life. It's also a lifestyle, because we all know life can be happy, pretty, or MESSY. My books and work are all about creating happy things for happy people, and helping people find and create happiness when things look dark. It's a tough world out there, but life is short. Fill it with happy! And maybe hot cocoa bombs, too!
