I have a book rec for you Haley!! It is "The Word Pretty" by Elisa Gabbert. Don't know if you're familiar with her, but the entire time I was reading it, I was like wow I have to share with Haley (in my mind we are friends like that.)
Using an old school grease pencil for labeling things in the kitchen instead of sharpie or tape -- soooo convenient. Also I got a cutting board stand and it’s made my life so much easier. The boards really do stand....lol. And when I wash them it doubles as a drying rack! Great for small kitchens.
these are excellent! curious because they didn't show up here (and I've been eyeing them): how do you feel about the Roucha jeans after some time with them?
I just ordered the J Crew boxer shorts 😂. For months I’ve honestly been looking for some really good high-waisted lounge shorts. They’re such a simple wardrobe staple but I have all these requirements for them. This J crew option looks pretty promising. If you come across any options, feel free to add those in the newsletter lol ;)!
Does anyone else have recs for high waisted lounge shorts or sweat shorts?
Also sweat pants/joggers that are sturdier/thicker?
Oh to have the money for a 300 dollar toaster (I’m on a pre k teacher income with luxury taste and socialist heart).
I love that chili crunchy oil with all my heart. I’m rushing to finish my okay chili oil so I can go back to eating those crisps straight out of the jar with a spoon.
Love these! Also a huge fan of my fridge magnetic whiteboard. I am trying to bring as few new items permanently into my house as possible lately and focus on systems or services that make my life better. Here are some:
- getting a bi-weekly housecleaner is the best money I’ve spent all year. I actually sent Christmas cards this year bc I had weekend energy and the house has just been cleaned
- “library hauls” aka going to the library and checking out anything that looks remotely interesting even if I don’t read it so I have like 30 books at once across all kinds of subjects
- switching to detergent sheets! I use earth breeze - they come in the mail and are tiny and a 3 months supply weighs like 2 ounces and take up no room compared to detergent. Amazing for small homes or laundromat-schleppers
- switching from purses and tote bags to mini backpacks so I can have my hands free all the time in the world… game changer
okay i am outsourcing a request for faves... what are everybody's favorite physical stores in nyc?? all categories: thrift, vintage, contemporary / clothes, shoes, art, home goods, weird ephemera ...?
I just bought yoga blocks last week! Recovering from an injury so in person classes aren’t an option yet. So nice to finally have for modifications and restorative.
By far my favorite purchase this year is a Balmuda toaster. It steams the bread so it stays fluffy and doesn’t dry out, and produces truly high quality toast. Also it makes a cute noise when it’s done running. https://www.crateandbarrel.com/balmuda-the-toaster-white/s453441
Hello babies... are you reading this delightful newsletter while snuggled up under a big, comfy, delicious blanket?! If so.... what is that blanket??? My couch blanket is pathetically small and uncozy. I want something very bundle-able but not like fleece or super synthetic, ya know?? Just thought the exact group of people jumping to this comment section might have a good recommendation.
Wait why don’t you trust everlane? I thought they were one of the good ones 🥲
Question about the Vitamix...is it insanely loud? I understand it's a blender but do you have to plug your ears or put a towel over it?
We have a Ninja blender from Costco and it sounds like an airplane is in the room, thinking about upgrading.

I do enjoy the variety of these recs!
