I’m Lauren, a writer and creator living on Vancouver Island, Canada. This newsletter is how I keep the art of the long-form written blog alive and well. A space for me to share beautiful things, personal meanderings, and all the books I’m currently reading. It’s a glimpse into my endless appreciation for design and my attempt at living with more intention.

Ideally, my articles will spark conversations and curiosities, connect you with art on a more personal level, and introduce you to fantastic individuals. On Friday mornings (some, not all) my edits are sent direct to your inbox.

You’ve got mail—or in this case, me!

I do not use affiliate links or make sponsored content. This publication is fully reader supported—keeping all my recommendations personal and genuine!

I have a degree in psychology and have always valued vulnerability and honesty. Sometimes I write Personal Essays on topics like failing my first business or turning my envy for those who après-ski for the holidays into a healthier mindset. I also have a collection of Interviews that explores connection, creativity, and personal taste from people I admire.

Step into the YGL Gallery to explore my digital exhibition space. Here you’ll find a curation of artworks, articles, and items that orbit around chosen themes. A deep dive into my obsessions to showcase the wonderful world of art in a creative and approachable way.

The last Friday of the month will always be my Monthly Edits. A popular round-up of what I consumed over the past few weeks including: products and recipes I’m loving, noteworthy interiors, fun links, and of course, the books I read.

You’ve Got Lauren has been mentioned in a few very exciting publications!

Thank you so much for your continued support. It’s an absolute pleasure to connect and share my creative pursuits with you.

You can contact me by emailing: youvegotlauren@gmail.com or responding directly to any issue of YGL.
