The day is November 19th. Which isn’t very far away from today. And truthfully, I loved Lanvin… But that’s only because I love Lanvin… Versace I’m just okay with. I like it, I’m happy it exists; I’m just not a gold chains, neon, sunbathing kind of girl. I’m happy to do it every now and…

State of Greece
I’m in greece where trash is literally flooding the streets. Disposal workers are on strike. Busses and trains are off and on because public transport workers are on strike. My cousin’s six year old is home from school because the elementary school teachers are on strike. Junior high and high school students will stay home…
Minimalism
The tiny house movement has inspired me to get a tiny bed. This is the first time I’ve slept in a twin since the third grade. It was the same bed I got for my 11 year old cousin actually, the Ikea Tromso bed. Bunk beds are cool and I’ve never had a sibling that…
Infinity Scarves How-To, Scarves in General.
Scarves. So necessary, a staple of fall. So the only thing I’ve learned how to knit. So annoying when you aren’t quite sure how to wrap it around your neck. I’ve devised a solution. I mean, other people have too. But I would have thought of it if they hadn’t, so it’s sort of like…
Follow up, Mr. Chocolate Part 2
So, my dough has had time to chill out. I took an ice cream scoop to put them on a giant metal pan. Here’s the finished product: I don’t think they’re the best. Not because they aren’t great- it’s just not my place to say. All cookies taste great when they’re warm. Bitter chocolate bits…
Thank you, Mr. Chocolate
A woman that lived across the street from me in my old neighborhood in Roslindale when I was a kid used to make chocolate chip cookies for me and her husband almost on the daily. Mostly they were for her husband but I knew she made them everyday so I always made time to see…
Several Things:
First: I really wish I were psychic. Or that Cheaptickets.com would tell me the truth. What do you think discount flight companies mean when they say “Last day to buy at this price”? Is it: “buy this today because tomorrow it WILL be more expensive” Or “buy this today because tomorrow it MAY be more…
Tiny Houses
A lot of attention has been devoted to tiny houses. And I think they’re adorable. They’re affordable and they speak to the true nature of what a living space should be. People shouldn’t live in absurdly large houses. It doesn’t foster intimacy. Let’s say you’re married or have a family, your children are physically far…
Gemstones, Cosmic Gifts
I’ve been getting into gemstones. I went to the Peabody museum in Harvard Square with some friends and was completely enchanted with the shapes and colors of their geodes. And various gemstone collections. They looked like miniature art installations. They’re beautiful! It’s a shame not to collect them and adorn our bodies in them as…
Decay of Summer
I love fall. Unfortunately, this thing I love destroys months worth of summer labor. My garden is freezing, which is sad for me. I’ve decided to collect a few pictures of the loss and deterioration that’s ensuing. Though I’d rather not remember it this way. Basil has been planted everywhere. Everywhere. Various yellowing tomato plants….
