Brad Pitt speaking in a dialect even his co-characters can't understand? Check. Wild & all over the place plot & writing to match that? Check. Some 10/10 perfromances all the way down to the dog? Check. Everyone needs to mix their arthouse film binging with the occasional quirk-piece, let me save you some time on the movie selection and make that decision for you — watch Snatch.

I’m a big sucker for classic pieces and I love it when a designer re-imagines them. For example, the double knee pants are a classic that TOMBOGO took and gave a dope twist with convertible/detachable pockets. They’re a small brand that I’ve been following them for a while now, and they’ve been consistently putting out really really interesting pieces like their work shirt.

I’ve gone through so many different matcha brands through the past two years. The type of matcha really matters depending on whether you plan on baking or making lattes out of them. I’ve been exclusively using Naoki for the past year now, mainly because they make it super easy to pick which blend works best for what I’m trying to do (because I have no idea what I’m doing here). I’ve been using the Fragrant Yame blend from Amazon for both baking and lattes with a splash of oat milk, and it’s chef’s kiss

Alexander McCall Smith blesses us with his imagination here with plentiful short stories designed around photos from the archive of The Sunday Times. A spiritual successor to his Chance Developments, where Smith wrote the stories not told behind vintage photographs, he continues this trend with imagination and an insane focus on the humanity (so well realized it can be shocking he thought it all up from some photos). Not every story hits, but that's the beauty of short stories. Not feeling it? Move onto the next one!

Puebco is a very utilitarian take on found objects and vintage resale & repurposing. The attention to detail is chef's kiss, everything from the curated objects themselves, to the very purposefully laid out images of the goods for sale, just perfection. Browsing the site is like taking a step into another day and age, looking through a selection of gems like folding clothing hangers, and military material inspired ping pong racket covers. And I couldn’t forget to point out the beautiful and oh so discreet book boxes.

Working from home has set zero boundaries for me between work time and play time. I have a really, really short attention span. My focus has plummeted in past few months and I knew I needed to change. Deep Work are rules that help you focus better in a distracted world. It has done me wonders in the past few weeks. The anecdotes are really inspiring and it really has been pushing me to be better when I'm trying to get stuff done.Okay, also just wanna note that I don’t even have the attention span to physically read. So this book is available in audio form as well, which is how I’ve actually been “reading” this book.

Before I start rambling, I just wanna note that I’ve never liked massages, I’m deathly ticklish. So recently, my roommate got one of those massage guns, and let me tell ya, the hype is real. In between lunch breaks when we snowboard, it literally feels like someone took off my legs and installed a fresh pair, and that’s how well it works. If you’ve heard about the hype, you’ve probably heard of the more hyped brand Theragun, it’s definitely a bit pricier, but my roommates and I have the more generic brands off of Amazon for half the price, and honestly? It works 🤷‍♀️
