This is the coffee I drink at home every day. I think this surprises some of my friends, because I’m somewhat food-obsessed, and am known for loving the finer things whenever and wherever I can find them. However, it’s all about balance, and I stand by this lowbrow coffee choice one hundred percent. It’s perfectly toasty and bitter, quite cheap, and is ready in as long as it takes to heat water. I think I’ll be drinking it for the rest of my life.

I have been using Lavazza “Perfetto Roast” grounds in a moka pot for almost a decade now. I take a bag of coffee and the pot with me wherever I travel. It is better than any other coffee I have ever had. I never get coffee out. Which is a cost saver but also I get 6 bags every 2 months on an Amazon subscription that is also discounted. I think just generally that by the age of 30 everyone needs their coffee situation figured out.

Moka pot! easiest and cheapest way to replicate espresso at home without having to shell out for a machine. i also love to buy nice beans-- local roasteries usually have great selections so you can find a type you love. it feels a little expensive sometimes, but if you like it enough to stop going out for coffee so much, i think the money adds up in the end. A milk frother can go a long way too. Nothing fancy, i just heat my milk up in the microwave and then froth it if I'm in the mood for a latte or something like that. u can also get a syrup flavor or something to switch things up.

I usually prefer espresso but it gets me by at work. It can be really good or really bad, but I love it no matter what.

This genius show, brought to you by Lisa McGee, is really just good for what ails you. As an alumna of an all-girls high school, I find it nails the single-sex educational experience better than anything else out there. It’s funny, easy to watch, and full of charmingly absurd accents. After watching one too many episodes, I find myself talking to myself like an Irishwoman, and then thanking the heavens -- as I do every day -- that I live alone.

For months since the start of the pandemic, I’ve had trouble getting back into reading for pleasure. I graduated from my Master’s program in May 2020, and was experiencing a lot of literary fatigue… I was studying medieval English literature, and had been up to my ears in readings for months, so I think at the end of it all I was just incredibly burnt out. This book changed that. Set in a post-Covid, semi-fictionalized version of Palm Beach, it’s incredibly fun, and just of-the-moment enough to feel like an inside joke for our times, without veering into the hyper-current or crinegworthy.

A few weeks ago, I was hanging out with my Most Fashionable Friend, Matthew, who happens to be a very high-end tailor. I had been too eager to embrace the spring weather, and as we prepared to head to dinner outdoors, I found myself shivering. Matthew, being not only stylish but also chivalrous, offered to lend me his perfectly-hued green vintage North Face puffer, and told me I could keep it “for the season.” I've been wearing it every day the weather allows, and every time I get a compliment or catch myself looking cool in the mirror, I just think of Matthew and what an absolute gem of a guy he is. The moral of the story is to find ultra-chic, generous friends who will lend you their cool wares and let you rock them for extended periods of time. It’s cheaper than thrifting, and even more fun.
