I recently moved into a small studio uptown that has a working fireplace. There’s nothing like a DURAFLAME after a long day of work. You just light the paper coating on fire and Boom, you’ve got yourself a semi real fire.

I am blessed to have a fireplace (don’t worry - some of my windows won’t close. Life is about balance) and I used to use starter logs, but lately I have been into collecting kindling and even branches on walks and building fires with them. Literally love being the kindling girl in my neighborhood. I still get wood at the store (Baller Hardware has the best smelling wood) but it’s so satisfying to start with a little bit of fire and grow it into a big ole thing. I also highly recommend tending your fire as an evening past time - get up and move yourself as you take a break from reading or listening or scrolling. Here’s my most recent work, a useful pastime during a power outage:

Too obvious? That’s ok because Fernet is a godly drink. I’ve been drinking it since about eight years ago when my sister and I lived on the same block in bedStuy and we’d split most of a bottle on Sunday nights. She worked in the service industry then, where it was popular. It’s very hard to get a hangover from Fernet, which is highly herbal, unless you go absolutely ham. It’s also a good hangover cure in coffee. Pairs well with living your life.

Not technically for sale. And technically my family’s dog. However, Leo is a friend to all mankind. When I go home to Pennsylvania, he whips around the backyard to celebrate my return. I recommend everyone’s parents get a celebration Morkie (Maltese Yorkie.)

I would recommend my raw milk co-op but it’s illegal so I’ll keep it off the internet. This Lindy food is nourishing and delicious. My delivery comes every Wednesday. Raw butter on sourdough, kefir, and the cream is great with coffee. My delivery guy Ahmed is one of my oldest friends in New York and is a universally beloved figure to those who know him.
