I am very into SCENT. I am wild for SCENT. I also HATE certain SCENTS (if a guy smells bad, it's the end of it 4 me. Conversely, if he smells good, it's devastating 4 me). All that to say, this laundry detergent which I found at a magical italian grocer in NJ, has made my life such a better place to be. It's a really soft, clean musk that lightly lingers on your clothes and sheets. My clothes are dried on a rack instead of in the dryer (for the environment!) which makes everything crispy, it's very Ferrante-esque.

no that’s not a typo. this is my first reco! sorry to have kept you waiting… i’m on kind of a cleaning kick right now. there might be something wrong me with me, but i really look forward to doing laundry 😅
lately i’ve been washing everything with dedtergent from DedCool. specifically the fragrance 05 “SPRING”; it’s cool, comforting, and smells like my freshman year high-school crush. (hope you’re well Asher) 😜
there are notes of incense, bergamot (my favorite), and moss, which give your fabrics the most effortlessly light, but present fragrance. it’s safe for sensitive skin, and per the company, dedtergent contains a proprietary organic blend of 21 mood-boosting plant extracts that have anti-inflammatory properties to support wellbeing. they’re also certified carbon-neutral, and in 2024, that’s something to be proud of.
so anyway, go wash your sheets!
luv u 🫶

someone once told me this smells like "old lady" to them... personally i love scents w that vibe (though i do not always like to wear them) (this one i do though). i adore a magnolia-heavy scent, either on myself or in my room, something about it is so calming. great go-to fragrance for when u want to feel put together and refined

Last summer I spent a lot of time pining over this boy that I had been on and off with for 2 years. He told me this one story about a long boozy summer lunch he had in Brittany and it wouldn't leave my mind. I so deeply wanted to be there and a part of a world where people have long boozy lunches in Brittany. One thing I love about anything (food, movies, books, music) is if it makes me feel like I'm in a different time and place. I decided to fill my home with music that would transport me to Paris in the era of "Gigi", which is this radio station. It's so wistful and nostalgic of my past life as a sexually empowered courtesan. Also, things did not work out with that guy.

I didn't realize how important the vessels we use to eat and drink from actually are to the gastronomic experience until I started making my own glasses. My new collection of hand blown glasses have completely and utterly transformed the beverage experience. They're SO pretty and they have such a nice "hand" (and industry term, don't worry about it!). There is one glass that is the color of raspberry ice with a beautiful butter yellow flower adorning the front that makes my morning chlorophyll water the most fabulous part of my day.

I have been in the business of absolutely murdering my poor scissors for years. I put them in the "spread eagle" position and use them to slash open all of my many online purchase boxes. They have been continuously stretched beyond their capabilities. All this has changed since I made the shift to my special box cutter. I bought it at the Ace hardware store on 1st avenue. It wasn't the cheapest but also not the most expensive. It was probably around $12 and it's radically transformed my day to day existence.
