hi! i’m down with period cramps today and just did a full body shower to reset and heat up my extremities. i put on a little lip gloss for this photo and added a grain on vsco cause i wish i had more film photos. i will be procrastinating on work today so…let’s try a substack ama. comment your question on this post and i will reply to them throughout the day :)
I am so inspired by you and Ethaney’s friendship - it’s so joyful to see snippets of it online! Do you have any advice for staying close and connected with friends as adulthood and distance start to make hanging out all the time difficult? I wish I could buy a row of houses all on the same street and put my friends in them 🥲
Attending a wedding in Mendocino County this summer and the dress code is “California Cocktail.” I have no context for this as an East Coast resident—the FAQ says cocktail or semiformal, but I’d love to know how you interpret that dress code!
How was the process of changing careers from public health to writing/freelancing, and what helped you thru the tough unknowing parts? I just ended a job and am currently re-evaluating what kind of work I want to seek out and it’s been very existential crisis inducing hahaha. love your substack 💖
Any tips for building a non-neutral capsule wardrobe? I love the idea of one, but all blogs take a very plain approach. I love colour and pattern, and still want to dress with character!
How do you get yourself out of a mental funk? Whether it be waking up on the wrong side of your bed or some external or internal event causing turmoil, what do you tell yourself or force yourself to do to eradicate that feeling?
Hi Viv! Any suggestions for warm weather closed-toe shoes? I’m thinking of onitsuka tiger sneakers and one other pair of sandals or flats that I can dress up/ down!
hi viv! do you have advice on how to explore fashion as a hobby? your substack is the only one i’m following rn and would love pointers to other writers and creators!
Curious what your laundry routine is like? Do you separate lights and darks? I struggle with clothes losing vibrancy and their original shape/texture but I don’t know if I have the energy to be so meticulous about care instructions.
Hi Viv. Feel better!! I'm very curious about your creative process! How do you come up with content ideas for your newsletter, and how do you determine which topics you want/don't want to post about?
I love reading along on the Molehill so thank you for writing such a great newsletter!!
i struggle with overthinking regarding clothes. so i often end up not ordering something secondhand or new i like online and want to try out, then often dont feel great about my wardrobe options. would love any insight you might have around this <3
