things I’m loving these days

The Great

Chinese money plant from Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s has been a weekly joy for me ever since I returned from Germany earlier this year. The simplicity of the shop literally excites me. And honestly it feels still a little bit likes hoping in Germany did- simplistic layout, optionality limiting, etc. I also have been on a kick of buying flowers. But cut-stem flowers only have a limited-time warranty. So about a month ago, I was waiting in line, outside, six-feet distanced, and to my right was a small shelf full of succulents. I thought to myself, “okay, maybe.” By the time I got inside- I spotted my newest child. A Chinese money plant. Apartment Therapy will let you know how to take care of her. She’s been a gem to me, and she’ll surely be the same to you.

My ring light
I have so much been enjoying this set up, not because of its primary function, but because of it’s duality. This thing bends every which way with five different light settings, so I am able to use it as a reading light or as daylight. Let’s just say, I stan.

She is a hilariously monotoned YouTuber with sass, class and ass that I discovered recently through here video: How I remain unbothered

How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons
Dedicated chapters based on seasons of fruits and vegetables and an essay per item. How it grows, what type is in the grocery store, two to three recipe per food item, and more. I bought mine at the Half Price Books here in Dallas but you can order it on Amazon here.

Alison Roman’s Newsletter
After the NYT left her in the dust (big mistake. big mistake; HUGE), she started writing her own newsletter. And thank god I subscribed. The candid, slightly pessimistic slightliy optimistic yet real about it all voice we know and love is encapsuled once a week in a well written newsletter on food and whats going on in the world and in her life, and a little hint of what she suggests should maybe be in yours! Go get her. She’ll be here a while.
