This place feels frozen in time in a charming way with a tinge of liminal space aesthetic. The nostalgic candies and toys make it feel familiar to me but only because I remember the stories from my mom and grandma's childhoods. This place carries a ton of specialty drinks and even offers an option of crafting your own soda with tons of syrup flavors to choose from. I'm still working on my perfect soda flavor combination. I'm recommending Galco’s not just for the vibe but for their sandwiches! Being from the east coast (new jersey, philly, new york) ive become a lowkey (hoagie) sandwich snob. The bread is my first priority and the bread here is the perfect texture. I really enjoy the Turkey Blockbuster without mustard and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.

I wonder if there's a word for that feeling of warmth and peace that comes over you when you put on a show that effortlessly grabs and releases your attention. always resolving and ending and beginning again. The cycle and pattern of it all is satisfying to me. It feels too mundane to highlight but these are a few of my constants that im grateful for: - murder she wrote - columbo - kitchen nightmares

This cover of stone by deadwood floats is an audio hug to me. I've returned to this video at some of my sweetest and lowest times of my life since I found it back in high school. I love when songs follow you throughout your life like the moon follows you home. I love that music is made just because you want to make it and I'm grateful numbers don’t dictate all impact. This song/rendition is truly a gem and I still feel lucky I found it.

Akai is the home of many stand alone music production centers. My favorite is the mpc one. This decision holds sentimental value to me but I also love this machine because it doesn't need to be attached to a computer though It has to be plugged into an energy source. I don't mind because it's similar to when the internet was locked away in the family room. It encourages intentional time even if it leads to nowhere. If making beats is not your thing, I do hope everyone has their own version of what the mpc means to me. Don't leave your inner child behind as you grow

House plants are more than decor. The life that they bring to a home is worth the upkeep. If you're out of town often, ask a neighbor/friend to take care of it. it takes a village most times and the love you put in comes back to you i promise. Even if it's something small, make sure you have a plant in your space.

This game holds a special place in my heart and I love to play it with family and friends. 10/10 would recommend. (Target has a special version where there are more jokers and they can do cool things within the game!) very fun

Even if you never make it past the cover of this book by Bessel Van der Kolk, there is healing in the title. it's a great reminder to listen to your body. Our bodies remember even when our brains forget. Take it easy when you can. cook a meal for yourself, go all out with the plating too. be detailed. pay attention. Breathe

I like to think Audre Lorde is one of my guardian angels. She has left so many road maps that help me navigate through this life. One of my favorite quotes by her from her essay Poetry is not a luxury - “ The white fathers told us, I think therefore I am; and the black mothers in each of us -the poet- whispers in our dreams, I feel therefore I can be free.”
