Last summer I spent a lot of time pining over this boy that I had been on and off with for 2 years. He told me this one story about a long boozy summer lunch he had in Brittany and it wouldn't leave my mind. I so deeply wanted to be there and a part of a world where people have long boozy lunches in Brittany. One thing I love about anything (food, movies, books, music) is if it makes me feel like I'm in a different time and place. I decided to fill my home with music that would transport me to Paris in the era of "Gigi", which is this radio station. It's so wistful and nostalgic of my past life as a sexually empowered courtesan. Also, things did not work out with that guy.

I became obsessed with this song (and actually the whole album it's on Zou Bisou Bisou including of course its titular track) and it brought me light... sort of my delusional girl Megan Draper moment. I do love 1960s French chansons in general by WOMEN ONLY get out of here SERGE GAINSBOURG đ«

60s French pop is nice but the 80s are my favorite. Itâs all very Loud, very Nat Geo, and much more inescapably French to me than sassy rock n roll covers. Standout tracks for me: Tu sais bien ce dont jâai envie, Dans la peau, Lâamour Ă la plage.

I was living in Ireland when i started this playlist, and ig Spotify has a region-lock typea thing going on where if yr EU itâll serve you EU ish (idk, makes sense in my head).
At the time I was getting recâd a bunch of French Pop and wanted to throw it all into a playlist to mark a little slice of time on this earth living outside of Philly. Not everything is foreign, but Iâd say 90% of it is in French. I donât speak or understand French, but I love this set of songs đ„

I am very into SCENT. I am wild for SCENT. I also HATE certain SCENTS (if a guy smells bad, it's the end of it 4 me. Conversely, if he smells good, it's devastating 4 me). All that to say, this laundry detergent which I found at a magical italian grocer in NJ, has made my life such a better place to be. It's a really soft, clean musk that lightly lingers on your clothes and sheets. My clothes are dried on a rack instead of in the dryer (for the environment!) which makes everything crispy, it's very Ferrante-esque.

I didn't realize how important the vessels we use to eat and drink from actually are to the gastronomic experience until I started making my own glasses. My new collection of hand blown glasses have completely and utterly transformed the beverage experience. They're SO pretty and they have such a nice "hand" (and industry term, don't worry about it!). There is one glass that is the color of raspberry ice with a beautiful butter yellow flower adorning the front that makes my morning chlorophyll water the most fabulous part of my day.

I have been in the business of absolutely murdering my poor scissors for years. I put them in the "spread eagle" position and use them to slash open all of my many online purchase boxes. They have been continuously stretched beyond their capabilities. All this has changed since I made the shift to my special box cutter. I bought it at the Ace hardware store on 1st avenue. It wasn't the cheapest but also not the most expensive. It was probably around $12 and it's radically transformed my day to day existence.
