The Journal is a collection of letters about creative stewardship—tending thoughtfully and imaginatively to the life we’ve been given. Through rituals, recipes, places, objects, and everyday curiosities, we’ll explore how to find beauty in what we have, joy in where we are, and inspiration for what comes next. Along the way, we’ll gather the little rituals, pleasures, and collections that bring us joy, restore our peace, and make us feel most like ourselves.

The Art of Living Beautifully
MAGAZINE ARCHIVES
The Art of Living Beautifully began in 2014, born from Lauren Palmer’s desire to rediscover her own creativity in the years after becoming a mother. What started as a personal creative outlet grew into a collection of stories told through print and digital magazines, essays, photography, and film—all exploring what it means to live a more present, tangible life and cultivate a personal culture of one’s own.
For four years, The Art of Living Beautifully magazine was published quarterly, capturing life in and around McKinney, Texas, alongside stories of food, style, home, creativity, and culture. Looking back, these volumes became an early expression of the philosophy that continues to shape Lauren’s work today: pay attention to what moves you, remain curious about the world around you, and allow what you discover to become part of the life you are creating.
The original issues of The Art of Living Beautifully are preserved here. Select an issue below to explore the collection.
