Safety Is Maintenance
May I be free from injury. May I live in safety. The second of Thich Nhat Hanh's nine loving-kindness prayers is the shortest one. It sounds like something you'd wish on a candle. Safety is not luck. Safety is maintenance. Somebody has to...

What You're Actually Burning
Walk into any gift shop and you'll find shelves of incense promising everything from Ocean Breeze to Dragon's Blood Vanilla. Light one and the room fills fast. Smells fine. But what are you actually burning? Turns out, that question has two very dif...

Letting Go Is How You Find Yourself
On forgiveness as a return, not a surrender. There was a morning, I couldn’t tell you exactly when, where I realized I had become very good at surviving. Not thriving. Not even fully resting. Just making it through, keeping things together, holding ...

Not a Wall. A Practice.
What boundaries actually are, how to build them, and how to know when they're working This word gets used so often that it has nearly lost its meaning. Boundaries. You have heard it in therapy speak. Seen it on motivational memes. Watching it become...

The Longest Light
Today marks the longest day of the year. The summer solstice is often treated like a milestone, a moment when we're supposed to measure progress, check achievements, or see how far we've come. But the solstice isn't really about arriv...

What it means to bloom in the middle, not at the end.
I didn’t know I was starting a business when I wrote that first post. I thought I was just writing. Putting words to the things I’d been making with my hands for years. Herbs. Teas. Skincare. Incense I rolled by hand. Jewelry I built link by link. J...

So You Made a Vision Board. Now What?
A vision board that just sits there is a mood board. Pretty, maybe. Forgotten by March, probably. The whole point was never the board. The board is the thinking. What you are building is a relationship with where you want to go, and that requires sh...

Okay, I'm Actually Doing This: How I Built My Vision Board
I told you in Part 1 that we were doing this for real. So here we go. Before I opened Canva, I sat with a notebook and a framework that moves through seven sections. Let's walk through each one, you don't need to follow it exactly, but the...

"So What Is a Vision Board, Actually?"
Okay. You're here. Let's get into it. If you read the intro post, you know this whole thing started with a $20 kit from Barnes and Noble and a random Saturday afternoon. What it opened up was a question I didn’t expect to take seriously: what if the...

"It Started at Barnes and Noble on a Random Saturday."
I wasn’t looking for it. I was just wandering the store the way you do when you have nowhere specific to go. Then I saw it. A little kit. Prepacked and sitting on the shelf with the journals and the sticky notes, like it had been waiting there for m...

The Full Picture: How to Actually Work With Your Chakras
Seven blogs. Seven energy centers. One question I keep getting: “Okay, but where do I start?" The honest answer, you don’t start at the root and work your way up like a checklist. You don’t fix one chakra and move on to the next. You don’t achieve b...

The Pink Moon & the Art of Balance
Full Moon in Libra | April 1, 2026 Tonight’s full moon is no joke; I’m fully aware of the date. The April full moon is called the Pink Moon, not because the moon turns pink, but because Phlox subulata, creeping phlox, moss phlox, moss pink, is one o...

BLOOM ELEMENTAL IS GETTING CLEARER
When I started this brand, I was making a lot of things: body care, jewelry, content, blends, all of it, and trying to hold it all together under one roof. There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s what the beginning of something can look like. But so...

Crown Chakra: The One They Always Get Wrong (Bear in mind that the following is all my personal opinions)
Crown chakra gets the most hype and the most damage. Sahasrara, the seventh chakra, sitting at the top of your head, is painted as the destination. The finish line. The place where you finally transcend everything difficult and float above it all in...

Spring Cleaning for the Mind

The Cost of Keeping the Peace
Here's the thing about silence: I thought it kept the peace. I genuinely believed that if I stayed quiet, agreeable, adaptable, if I just made things easy for everyone else, we’d all be okay. That's what I learned as a child. The best thin...

When Energy Work Started Making Sense (And When It Didn't)
I'll be honest with you. When I first started working with chakras and energy, I felt self-conscious. like I was performing, even. Like there’s a right way to do it — and if I didn’t feel some immediate shift, I was doing it wrong. I’ve always bel...

Honoring the Heart

Lavender: The Soulful Herb of Calm and Radiance

Writer, maker, and keeper of Bloom Street Studios

I'm Tammi.

Bloom Street Studios came out of a season where I had to stop and actually listen. I'd spent years caregiving, partnering, tending to everyone else's needs. At some point I realized I'd lost track of my own.

So I turned inward. Not to become someone new, but to remember who I actually was underneath all the roles I'd been playing.

What I found there surprised me. It wasn't just words that wanted out. It was my hands. I taught myself to weave metal, ring by ring. I learned to blend botanical incense from raw materials. And I kept writing through all of it, because writing is how I pay attention.

That work became a house.

Bloom Street Studios is home to the writing, the planners and workbooks, and the botanical incense. Bloom Elemental is where metal and stone are shaped by hand.

Different rooms. Same hands. Same philosophy.


Presence is the pace.



I don't believe we're here to perfect ourselves.

I think we're here to pay attention.

But this page you're on now, this is the room where I write.

Through The Tending Pages, I explore what it means to live in rhythm with yourself. To honor your own rhythm and the truths that show up when you finally slow down enough to hear them.

My work isn't about fixing yourself or becoming better. It's about being present. Meeting yourself honestly, right where you are. No performance, no optimization, just the real work of being human.

Everything I make, whether it's an essay, a planner, or a cone of incense, comes from that same place.

If you're here, you don't need to catch up or transform into something else.

You're already on time.

You're already in your element.

Welcome.

The Studio,

It is where I write, make, and pay attention.

Everything here begins the same way. Not with a product or a plan, but with a question. A moment that lingers. An observation that won't leave me alone until I understand it a little better.

That is how The Tending Pages began.

The essays here aren't instructions. They aren't life hacks or five-step plans. They're observations about the quiet work of being human. Perspective. Growth. Letting go. Beginning again. The small moments that shape us more than the dramatic ones ever do.

This is a studio because making takes many forms.

Sometimes I make with words.

Sometimes I make with botanicals.

Sometimes, in the sister studio, Bloom Elemental, I make with metal and stone.

Different materials. The same hands. The same philosophy.


Presence is the pace.


I don't believe we're here to perfect ourselves.

I think we're here to pay attention.

Everything you'll find here grows from that belief. The essays. The planners. The journals. The botanical incense. They're not meant to tell you who to become. They're invitations to notice who you already are.

Nothing here promises transformation. Transformation isn't something another person can hand you. It happens quietly, often while you're paying attention to something that seemed ordinary at the time.

That's the pace this studio keeps. Not slow for its own sake, but present enough to actually see what's in front of you.

If you've found your way here, you don't need to become someone else before you belong.

You're already on time.

You're already in your element.

Welcome.
