Hello! The big news this week is that I have a new job: I’m starting as Editor-in-Chief of SELF tomorrow! I’m so, so excited for this new chapter in my life, and I had the loveliest weekend celebrating with friends.


Here’s what else I was up to…

This was a tough read, but I really think it’s worth your time.

Watching & listening to

I loved Heartstopper on Netflix! The new season of Drag Race: All Stars is amazing. This song is so good. And I saw two beautiful double-crested cormorants diving for fish in Central Park on Tuesday.

Have a good one! ✨
