Available in a bunch of cute colors, this fantastic contraption provides you with the perfect egg(s) every single time. Just pour water into the reservoir, press the button, and minutes later, the cooker will play a pleasant little song to let you know your eggs are done. I start most days with soft boiled eggs and toast – eggs contain almost every nutrient the body needs!

The perfect track (no disrespect to Keith who is missing from it); it’s a terrific reminder that a wonderful end result can come out of something you didn’t take too seriously at first. (Mick considered this song to be a “doodle” and was unsure if it was ready to record).

I love dropping GIFs into text exchanges for a little added flavor, especially during a “serious” or “business” conversation when the recipient least expects it. Everyone in my inbox knows my GIF game is strong – I am particularly fond of “The Godfather” and “Ari Gold”.

I have a few fabulous mafioso characters in my life who recommend meeting in restaurants during the off hours – seemingly always in a booth – in order to really get down to business. It’s clear they’ve cut some serious deals when no one’s looking. Sometimes stepping outside the normal office setting is necessary. One of the mob’s many useful lessons.

I love the relationship between these two iconic filmmakers – two wildly talented gals meeting in their 20s, discovering New York together in the 1970s, further developing + expanding their artistic voices, deeply supporting and nurturing one another’s ideas, all while exposing each other to new forms of expression and experimentation. The magic that came out of their collaborations (Hotel Monterey, News from Home, Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) as well as their individual work is amazing and highly worth a deep dive.

Especially in the film world where there’s often a feeling of scarcity, limited resources, and competitiveness, I’m a big believer in approaching people (friends, collaborators, acquaintances, strangers) with openness and a how-can-I-help attitude – it’s way more fun and interesting! In an industry that does not support up-and-comers, it’s important to remember there is room for everyone and we’re all in this together. Not to mention, being unkind, pretentious, or elitist is not actually cool and will not serve you well in the long run. People remember how you treat them.

I don’t mean this in a dark or morbid way – it’s just truly a great reality check. Time is precious. (And if you’re dealing with death or loss, I like to recommend The Dark Interval: Letters on Loss, Grief, and Transformation by Rainer Maria Rilke – a lovely collection of Rilke’s correspondences with bereaved friends and acquaintances during times of mourning).
