Instagram post 2130901122146349947_8985663249 My building doesn't allow pets. We have a building cat named Sylvester, but this is not her.⁠ ⁠ This is @friday.at.home's cat Paco Taco, and he was being adorable. But since I'm around a lot, he's comfy enough with me to do adorable things like this.⁠ ⁠ #ohtobeacat #soloseattle #notmypet #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2130213196320018164_8985663249 I'm somewhat of a baby when it comes to using bay leaves in my cooking. Dry Turkish Bay leaves are the safe, familar ones I know, but when your bestie's mom has a Bay tree in her yard and happily sends bay boughs home with you, you do what you see your bestie do in her own home - ⁠ ⁠ You dry those suckers out and use them once they're ready!⁠ ⁠ #bringonthefood #homecooking #localsourcedbay #californiabay #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog #foundfamily
Instagram post 2130035052300486184_8985663249 Meet my pre-crowd mocktail and powerhouse, generic Airborne. ⁠ ⁠ Since I work from home, I do not have the herd immunity that folks working in cubicles and other office buildings and my immune system is well, Crap.⁠ ⁠ Conventions were pretty much a guaranteed illness of some form until I started boosting my immune system with EmergenC and Airborne.⁠ ⁠ Meet my morning cocktail of champions! So how do you keep yourself healthy in the face of sick? Tell me below!⁠ ⁠ #remotelife #soloseattle #seattleblogger #pinkandpretty #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2129565057628080416_8985663249 Mrs. Steger, my 8th-grade science teacher was the one who realized that I needed glasses.⁠ ⁠ My ophthalmologist was the one who figured out my rather interesting diagnosis of 1) Astigmatism and 2) I had one near-sighted eye and one far-sighted eye. ⁠ ⁠ Which means I physically cannot roll my eyes. I can fake it, but I usually do a really dramatic weighted sigh when I'm frustrated or annoyed at something. ⁠ ⁠ Let's get to know each other! What's a small detail you're comfortable to share but nobody would ever guess?⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #bigrimmedglassesgeek #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog #astigmatismlife #correctivelensesforever #whatislasik
Instagram post 2129313855686488243_8985663249 There was one point where someone referred to the cargo container cranes as dinosaurs and I loved it so much I threw it into my vocabulary and ran with it.⁠ ⁠ I get so delighted when I see the Seattle dinosaurs.⁠ ⁠ What delights you? Share it below!⁠ ⁠ #seattledinosaurs #portlife #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2128821900175179971_8985663249 I took a bunch of pictures at the #ChihulyGlassGardens so y'all are just going to have to live with them. I don't remember the name of this piece, but it was beautiful and blue, so here it is.⁠ ⁠ #chihulyglassgardens #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2128588266595919761_8985663249 I'm a sucker for beautiful pillows. But I ran into an issue where the ones I loved were too expensive for my blood or potentially a texture I wouldn't enjoy.⁠ ⁠ But I do love the feel of well-worn cotton and I happened to have some top sheets set to the side since I'm a firm believer of duvet covers over flat sheets.⁠ ⁠ I used those instead. I'm working on the tutorial and will post it here so you can also follow along to build your own lumbar pillow.⁠ ⁠ #sewit #occasionalcraftblogger #soloseattle #diypillowcover #notyouraverageblog #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #allthepillows

Instagram post 2127336227593074572_8985663249 I'm a nail biter. It's always been a nervous habit since I was 8 and viciously biting my nails and cuticles because I was in trouble or something was wrong. It's a hard habit to break and one that lingered long into my adult life.⁠ ⁠ A few years ago, I started getting regular SNS manicures with a friend and I tried to keep that up here in Seattle.⁠ ⁠ But I really wanted a sofa, so 10$ later and a bit of patience, I can have a beautiful Barbie-esque manicure courtesy of #KISSNails.⁠ ⁠ #fakenaillife #highmaintenancelife #lowmaintenancebudget #soloseattle #unicornlife #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #budgetmanicure #financetip #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2127124495150959418_8985663249 I try to avoid tourist traps due to heightened anxiety around massive groups of people. (Ask me how I manage to work conventions without a complete daily meltdown.)⁠ ⁠ But I'm also a low-key adrenaline junkie so visiting the Space Needle was a chilly delight 500 ft. up in the air. Four-inch Lexan is all that is between you and a semi-unadulterated view of Seattle and the Puget Sound. That day was perfect weather as I tend to sweat standing still. ⁠ ⁠ #spaceneedle #touristythings #summerinseattle #life500ftintheair #pugetsoundlife #lifeinthepnw #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2126582318846990818_8985663249 One of the most precious things I've learned in this blogging endeavor is that automation helps keep me sane. All of these posts are planned and scheduled usually about 2 weeks in advance. ⁠ ⁠ Why?⁠ ⁠ Because spur of the moment doesn't help others in my world. Spur of the moment shots are my taking pictures of my friends' pets and other beautiful places I've been. But here, my goal with Solo Seattle is to help others find ways to live within 400 sq ft, or less, or more.⁠ ⁠ What are some things you've done to help keep your life in some semblance of order? Drop a heart and a comment below!⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #automationiskey #poweredbylater #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog #analogpowered #Ithinkonpaper #planningahead
Instagram post 2126400127483615169_8985663249 A habit I've adopted last year was drinking tea more than I would have back in Ohio. It helps that there's a hella' (HELLA) nerdy tea shop near my apartment that I happen to love and adore and probably spend way too much money at @fridaytea. ⁠ ⁠ But it's been a great way for me to ground myself, vibe with people and not actually speak to any of them, and meet the people I have grown to call friends here in Seattle. ⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #teasquad #fridaytea #lifein400sqft #smallandmightyblog #teafiend
Instagram post 2125866794617937870_8985663249 This cutie is Basil, who really wanted up on my lap that day, but she's too short to make the jump. Her colorist parent enjoys dying her tail in raindow colors.⁠ ⁠ And before you go off, the dye is Kool-aid. Basil's parent knows better.⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #smallandmightyblog #dogfriends
Instagram post 2125673805530769981_8985663249 I've recently joined the #bossbabe business group because I know I'm going to need support and advice outside of my usual friend group. This quote stuck with me from the get-go, so I wanted to share it with all of you.⁠ ⁠ "You don't own success; you rent - and the rent is due, every damn day."⁠ ⁠ #inspirationalquote #bossbabe #soloseattle #seattleblogger #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2125130938215088078_8985663249 1) When my anxiety spikes, I bite my nails and cuticles. So to work around this and somewhat successfully break that habit, I slap on glue-on nails because chewing on plastic or acrylic is not fun.⁠ ⁠ 2) As we've established, I run away to Kalaloch Beach a lot. When I do make it down to the water, I like to play a game with the waves (everyone wins) and see if I can touch the seafoam without my toes getting soaked.⁠ ⁠ So what you're looking at is the results of the game. It looks a little naughty, but it's just seafoam. I won. ⁠ ⁠ And promptly lost afterward.⁠ ⁠ What are some of your favorite things to do to keep yourself entertained in place where you need to be offline? Let's hear it below!⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #writerlife #keepitfun #kalalochbeach #wildwashington #coastallife #friendshipadventures #fakenailsdontcare
Instagram post 2124435585610513944_8985663249 Oh hey! A lot of my followers here actually know me in real time, but a few of you are new!⁠ ⁠ Hi, I'm Natasha, a Midwest-Transplant (can I still say that) who's lived in the PNW for almost two years now. I'm standing in this picture with my mom and yes, I'm sort of her clone.⁠ ⁠ Except more fabulous and more adventurous with my hair. I'm the one behind Solo Seattle and I can absolutely share the horror stories behind my adventures just as much as I can share the positive and pretty parts. ⁠ ⁠ My goal with this insta!feed is not just to share the happy, Instagram-worthy things but also the gross, "why the heck is she showing us this" side because well, might as well be transparent with you.⁠ ⁠ It ain't always sunshine and roses here.⁠ ⁠ Thank you for the follow!⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #lifein400sqft #chihulyglassgardens #bigrimmedglassesgeek #ladyintech #futureisfemail #smallandmightyblog
Instagram post 2124331723796874689_8985663249 My favorite version of Kalaloch Beach is one overtaken by mist and rain. Something about the rain feels so healing to me and if you need me to be productive, give me a good thunderstorm with a lot of rain.⁠ ⁠ Or just a lot of rain. The mist adds a magical touch that I can't find here in Seattle, so I try to escape the city as much as I financially can! ⁠ ⁠ Talk to me about your favorite spots to escape. Anywhere, I want to hear all about them!⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #lifein400sqft #seattleblogger #kalalochbeach #wildwashington #coastallife #smallandmightyblog

Instagram post 2122340296007153233_8985663249 I don't make big deals out of my own birthday. Everyone else's? Sure, let's party!⁠ ⁠ Mine, it's always a surprise when I get flowers. There were from my mother and step-father.⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger #stopandsmelltheflowers
Instagram post 2122086214055205368_8985663249 There's no story behind this hook. I just found it hilarious and I will eventually have it somewhere in my apartment.⁠ ⁠ #soloseattle #seattleblogger
