You wouldn’t believe the years I’ve wasted spent trying to find the perfect shade of barely-a-shade-at-all nail polish. For the girls who know that clear polish isn’t enough and Dior Nail Glow is too much, there’s this.
Truly backing the lipstick economy but I have been known to splurge on J.Hannah nail polishes over the past few years (I now have 6 bottles? Like that's nearly $200AUD of nail polish!? The heCK-) The latest and possibly last shade I've picked up is this Blue Nudes, which is a really lovely deep denim blue. I feel like J.Hannah polishes have a much thicker consistency and last longer on my nails than other brands. I love their colour choices, the bottle design and the overall vibe of the brand - all the pomp and styling does really enhance the experience, convincing me that taking the time to do my nails is something to look forward to!
A matching set is somehow both geriatric and sexy, and just incredibly comfortable. Perfect for airports, dog-walking, sitting down to write in and then just never getting out of. And Babaa has a Spanish small-mill story that you can relay to other people and feel superior, if that’s your kind of thing.
Is it a weird affectation that Jesse Kamm has dubbed her pants ‘Kammpants?’ Maybe! But these pants ARE a category unto themselves – something altogether different from the denim, sweatpants, and trousers in my closet – so I’ll defend her right to give her pants their own nomenclature anyday. Kammpants are thick cotton canvas – thick enough to kind of stand up on their own – super high rise in a way women in their 30s like me like, and I feel so deeply like myself in them. Like, literally, when drunk and feeling dumb and contemplative, I’ve actually had the thought: am I a sentient Kammpant?
I’m not proud to be recommending protein bars. I wish to be an ethereal, romantic, breezy person to who doesn’t deign to concern herself with life’s practicalities. But, sadly for me, I’m actually an extremely type-A woman who is constantly striving, optimizing, and fretting. AKA a woman who tracks her protein intake just cause. These things taste like Snicker bars and they help me exceed 100g of protein per day.
