She is my best hidden secret in NYC for facials and waxing. I've followed her to three locations now. I take my skin very seriously and have gone to many different salons and facialists, including some of the fanciest ones, and no one compares to my girl. I love that she is a one-woman show. She's Hungarian and brings many of her products back from Europe, peels and things you can't get in the US. She only uses hard organic beeswax which I love. She keeps me blemish free and fresh faced.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I buy most of my clothing second hand. I love designer vintage clothing. I'm very into the 80s right now. I try to visit local vintage stores when I'm traveling, even if it's the local goodwill on a road trip. I'm kind of a hoarder.. I'm embarrassed by how many clothes I have and it's hard for me to get rid of them. Saying that, I can tell you where I got each piece and each one usually has a memory attached to it. Vintage shopping in Rome has got to be my favorite, you can get some awesome deals and I'm obsessed with Italian fashion. I love animal print, feathers, and sequin.

I am obsessed with my electric tea kettle. I even got rid of my stove top one. I am a tea drinker, not a coffee girl. I usually like an english black tea (tetleys) with a splash of whole milk in the morning. I love being able to just press a button and go about my routine and the water heats up so much faster than a traditional kettle and turns off automatically. This is my favorite kitchen gadget.

Family owned candle and soap shop in Maine. I probably have 20 of their candles. My favorites are Mainely Manly which smells like woodsmoke and Forest Primeval which smells like an evergreen forest. I love woody, smokey scents. They make a space feel so inviting and sexy.
