Exciting News: and I recorded a podcast! It is currently a raw file sitting on my computer because I need to figure out how to edit lol. We dish on the financial realities of being a freelancer and writer when you’re *not* a nepo baby:
The podcast episode will be published on our Substacks in early January and available in full for paid subscribers. Thank you for your support and we’re so thrilled to expand our content for you <3
Wine has been tasting good. More than that, the idea of wine has been feeling good. After a vet appointment two weeks ago I went across the street to see if a particular trendy Oakland bottle shop had La Cave Apicole which I ordered online four weeks ago only to have the order canceled because it was sold out.
I almost just got in my car and drove home, but something in me drew me to the bottle shop. Just to check. The staff person nodded when I said La Cave Apicole—we do have that it’s one of our most popular bottles and here are similar ones if you like a muscat curveé—I zoned out because I knew I was there for one thing only. I bought three bottles of it for $90 and trekked back to the car, hoping the thin brown paper bag handles wouldn’t snap against my lower forearm as I balanced a bag of doggie meds on my upper forearm.
I drank one bottle over the course of a week with Torres brand truffle chips, served the second bottle at a family gathering and I’m saving the third for…something special. Idk what that is yet but there’s a part of me that is telling myself it will be my last bottle of La Cave Apicole in a while. So it should be for something significant. I want the feeling that it’s the end of a chapter.
powder blue eyeshadow
My first favorite is actually two things…I’ve had an infatuation with powder blue eyeshadow ever since I used this Priscilla-inspired makeup filter.
After doing research on eyeshadows, I’ve found two that I love individually and mixed together. I’m going to be trying out lots of blue eyeshadow looks in the coming month!
