Hi! I'm Ambia

Hi, I’m Ambia—founder of With Love, Meena Books and Boutique, vintage enthusiast, book lover, and forever in my cozy homebody era. I’m endlessly inspired by vintage cottagecore decor (think full-on grandma chic), romantasy novels with brooding love interests, and the quiet thrill of a really good thrift find. I believe in slow living, peaceful rituals, and making everyday moments feel like magic.

 

In my 30s, I’ve been intentionally crafting a life that feels soft and sacred—one filled with hobbies, home projects, candlelit reads, and secondhand treasures. When I’m not running my boutique or dreaming up cozy corners, I’m leading The Spice Girls Book Club and forever adding new titles to my TBR.

 

With Love, Meena was born from that dreamy mix of passions. It’s not just my shop—it’s my heart. A space for women like me who work hard but come alive in their downtime—nesting, reading, crafting, and chasing that quiet kind of joy. The kind of woman who gets giddy over a DIY, a forgotten antique teacup, or a fresh new book she can read in a lace-trimmed robe.

 

The name Meena represents more than one thing—it’s a symbol of gentle movement, like a fish going with the flow. It’s also a safe harbor, a rare jewel, a little sanctuary. And that’s what I hope this space becomes for you.

 

Here, you’ll find thoughtfully curated fiction—romance, fantasy, romantasy, historical fiction, and hobby books—alongside cottagecore-inspired vintage home accents, cozy and whimsical clothing, and the Meena Trove, our monthly subscription box. The box includes a book of your choice (from three lovingly selected options), a few carefully curated vintage finds, and cozy self-care items meant to inspire peace, not clutter.

 

Everything you see here is curated with love. I hope it feels like sipping tea on a rainy morning, flipping through old linens in a sunlit antique store, or discovering a new favorite story by candlelight.

 

You’re warmly invited to follow along, explore, and even join us virtually in my book club: @thespicegirlsbookclub. I’m so glad you’re here.
