Eating: Gluten free pasta with olive oil and cherry tomatoes. Lil salt + pepper + oregano. Bummed the store was out of basil, but still such a great, simple dinner.
Listening: King Princess’ new album, Cheap Queen. I call her Queer Maggie Rogers in the most loving, jokingly reductive way.
Reading: The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. I just started this two days ago and I’m already engrossed. I also just learned the word bildungsroman while looking up book reviews which is fun.
Feeling: Helpless. There are new developments every day in Kathleen’s cancer case. This is a huge lesson in control, as I find myself crippled by the inability to change things.
Thinking: About a conversation between my mom and I this past weekend regarding my “pickiness” toward the way men communicate with me. I’m going to expand upon this in a blog post and hopefully make you laugh/feel seen with the specificity.
Wanting: 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. Yes, this is typically a men’s scent, but I just received a sample with my Sephora haul of The Ordinary serums and was immediately intoxicated. This presents a problem, as I decided ages ago that I found my forever scent in For Her by Narcisco Rodriguez. I love it. I get complimented on it constantly. And I’ve always wanted a signature scent. I am a married woman and 1 Million by Paco Rabanne is the hot, Spanish pool boy, damnit.
Excited For: My collab with Heyday Rittenhouse tomorrow! I’ll be receiving (and documenting) my first ever facial, so stay tuned.
