Quote of the Week: “In chaos, there is fertility.”― Anaïs Nin
Listening to: WizKid’s newest album Made in Lagos. I loooove Afrobeats and this cohesive commercial project with *all the features* truly slaps.
Eating: Toast with whipped cream cheese, lox, and Everything But the Bagel seasoning (by force of Andrew who “won’t eat lox without me” because “it’s our thing”).
Drinking: A half-caf Americano with cream from Starbucks of all places. I usually get coffee at Tela’s, but with yesterday’s rain and impending snow, I needed to get my ass out for a walk this morning. I physically cannot go days in a row without fresh air and sunlight. Reminder: we’re all just house plants with anxiety.
Feeling: Optimistic! Simply enamored of the day’s possibilities! Holding onto this feeling for dear life knowing how slippery it is of late!
Thinking: I unfortunately need to grow my hair out a little. I love having short hair so much, and maybe I’ll just end up chopping it again. But when I can’t even pull it back without 50 chunks slipping out, my patience is zapped. Don’t quote me on any of this.
Loving: Interesting boots for winter, like these from Ganni or these from & Other Stories. Is it just me, or do girls transition from Vans or Air Force 1s to Doc Martens as soon as the season changes without any exploration of alternatives? I have no room to talk as my favorite shoe is the grey New Balance 990, but I’m always shocked by the willful homogeneity of Philly fashion.
