  • Netflix’s Bridgerton is the Horny Eye-Bleach We Need to End 2020

    Netflix’s Bridgerton is the Horny Eye-Bleach We Need to End 2020

    I‘ll preface this post with a warning that I spent the ages between 12 and 14 devouring Jane Austen’s every offering and Emma remains one of my favorite novels of all time. I definitely spent my coming-of-age years lusting after Mr. Darcy and fantasizing about a man in jodhpurs with a British accent sweeping me…

    Things I Like: Slow Factory, Ninth House, & Portrait of a Lady on Fire

    Life is weird right now. I’ve stopped replying with a habitual “good” when someone asks how I am. I’m forcing myself to be a lot more honest—with what I want, with the person I want to be, and the world I want to live in. I’m also trying harder to find everyday joys. Whether that’s…

    Things I Like: AHA + BHA Peel, ClassPass, & Milanote

    I started typing 2019 for the title so evidently that’s where my head is at. This month, I’m focusing on sticking to the intentions that I set at the New Year by building daily rituals. There’s also a few things that piqued my interest so far and I can’t stop thinking about them. Here they…

  • How I’m Sticking to My Resolutions

    How I’m Sticking to My Resolutions

    The longest month of the year is coming to its inevitable end and I, for one, am thankful. January is the sort of month that greatly lacks luster in my opinion. If January were a person, it’d be the old curmudgeonly man on the subway who refuses to move out of the way of the…

  • Do We Really Need a Personal Brand?

    Do We Really Need a Personal Brand?

    I was shopping for a coat. A wool coat. The kind with an upright collar, which it turns out, is called a “funnel neck.” Or more simply, a “high collar,” although this entirely depends on which site or sartorial source you encounter. I was shopping for the kind of coat that says, “Here I am”…

  • I Switched to a Menstrual Cup and I’m Never Looking Back

    I Switched to a Menstrual Cup and I’m Never Looking Back

    I thought I was dying the first time I got my period. My mom gave me The Talk years earlier, which I had promptly pushed to the back of my mind as things-that-would-happen-at-a-much-later-date, when I would be older and therefore a different person. By the time I found blood in my underwear as a young…

  • Girl, We’re Women Now

    Girl, We’re Women Now

    I recently attended the stateside launch party for Issue #12 of Riposte magazine, an independent publication founded in London and championing issues from social media self-care to disability funding with a decidedly woman-focused voice. I serendipitously discovered Riposte through Instagram’s algorithm and was thrilled to see they would be holding their launch the subsequent week.…

    Things I Like: Billie Razors, The Good Trade, & GLOW

    September…September…what’s exciting about September? The most monumental thing so far was a full harvest moon on Friday the 13th (the first one in thirteen years, crazy right?). Also, I missed Elizabeth Warren’s speech in Washington Square Park because I scheduled it for the wrong day on my calendar. Which is one of the few pitfalls…
