On Friday, I celebrated my 35th birthday with a beach-themed quarantine “party” my gf planned (and that is still ongoing)! Here’s what else I was up to this week…
Writing
My shit, elsewhere
Here’s an interview I did with TODAY.com: How to master 'The Art of Showing Up' during a pandemic.

Eating
I recently bought a HUGE bag of lavender and have been making some old faves: lavender tahini toast and homemade cold brew with lavender simple syrup + sweet cream creamer.
Wearing
For the past couple of weeks, I have been living in my new tie-dye sweatpants ($28, runs big — I got a large) and matching sweatshirt ($28, runs true to size). I also bought bike shorts ($13 from Amazon) after seeing them in Hitha’s newsletter, and they are really soft and summer cozy.
Have a good night! 🧁
