Welcome to Things and Thoughts — a space I created to share my interests, personal stories, reflections on current events, and so much more. I've always loved reading blogs. The way people express themselves through words and images truly inspired me to start my own.

This blog is a reflection of my journey — exploring culture, community, personal growth, style, and what it means to be a young Christian navigating today’s world. As I continue to mature, learn, and grow into the woman I’m meant to be, I hope you’ll join me along the way.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned — there’s more to come!

“If you can’t figure out your purpose, follow your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” — Pastor T.D. Jakes

The content we consume daily shapes our lives and minds. My hope is that this space helps us both create a joyful and healthy lifestyle — whether I’m talking about makeup, hair, food, or fashion.

a little about me

Hey, I’m Nora!

My favorite things to do are read poetry and blogs, take pictures, listen to podcasts and watch true crime shows!

I started this blog because I had a natural urge to document my life and share it on a creative platform. In short, I am, but not limited to, a Believer, makeup lover, hair enthusiast, photography fanatic. I created this journal as a natural outlet for me to visually express my thoughts, and work on personal projects that inspire me. I wanted to explore so many areas of content creating so this blog is for all those possibilities!

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

— 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
