I should start out saying that I don’t care a lot about coffee even though I drink loads of it, or I have in my life (I’ve been trying to drink less). Elijah recently got a Moka Pot Brikka - the one that ‘cremes’ at the top… not the easiest to find without Amazon. My mom gave me a Bodum milk frother last year for Christmas that I never used… until now. We drink the caps out of the Bookworks x Cafe Nyleta cups, because it's one of the few matching mugs we have. It’s turned out to be a very fancy way to start the day and I recommend it to anyone who wants additional kitchen-ware.

It was a gift but I’ve been thinking about making a rec about it, so I’m using this as an opportunity.
My husbands auntie sells pampered chef so that’s usually our Christmas gifts, which has been lovely. This most recent holiday she gave us a milk frother. Now, I’m typically a black coffee drinker, but I enjoy a latte as a treat. It’s been such a luxury to add some flavored frothed cream to my morning coffee. I don’t really see a need to go out and spend money on coffee anymore, either. I love it because it’s not something I would ever even have bought for myself!

I love to make a whole thing out of having caffeine by adding something different every now and then or elevating the drink with a steamed milk or infusion. Examples include adding mango nectar to my matcha lattes, adding chai to my iced lattes, mixing hibiscus tea into my green tea or adding fresh lemon, etc. Spending a little more time to jazz it up seems to be such a minute thing that has made the morning less painful

nothing hits on a windy day quite like a fluffy whole milk cappuccino with a little cinnamon on top

Last year, when I was at a residency at 2727 California Street, this piece of paper was hanging on the communal fridge. I was shook by it - so much to live by, all on one page! When I bought my first zines from Vale (How to Stay Together Forever & How to Read) - who is a prolific independent publisher, writer, interviewer and og zine maker - he gave me one of these and I hung on my fridge in my studio apartment for a year. I recently moved and bought another book from him and it came with this printed page - so, it’s back on the fridge. It's a great reminder on how to be a real person/ seriously have fun/ only do what you want. Everyone should grab a book from V.Vale’s site to get one of these gifts.

Super delicious raw vegan chocolate, my fave chili oil in Bed Stuy, to forever and only drinking wine out of Bar Part time glasses, Kat Chan’s gorgeous Immortal Mushroom book, and Monte Rosa’s amazing hand-painted gingham workwear sets.

Keely is a very talented artist and fashion icon. She recently started Birthday Girl Shop - making ‘sexy clothes for daily use’. I just got a set of her ‘Dalmation Mushroom Button Down’, deadstock kilt/ Sesame Street skirt and a ‘Big Kiss’ bow/ tie. She hand-paints and sews everything out of her apartment in Los Angeles and I’m so happy we can finally match.
