Hi, I’m Cassandra, Photographer, Writer & Lover of Stylish Things
cassandra mcd.
World's coolest aunt (so I've been told). I'm all about personal growth and living a healthy lifestyle through self-care and mental wellness.I try to work on fitness because weekend brunch and French Toast are my motivators. Tackling aging with a bit of swagger and a lot more grey hair and just trying to live a life with more mindfulness.
