On to the questions!
💗 What makes you happiest?
Summer nights, a good long run, eating dinner al fresco and sipping on a chilled glass of Rombauer Chardonnay. S.L.H: Crying in my unbearable hot and humid SFLO summer
🌟 What’s your most recent micro-joy?
Our local Whole Foods store sells single slices of both their Chantilly Cake and Key Lime Pie. It’s five minutes from my house. Both dangerous and joyful all at once.
🛒 What’s a recent purchase you loved?
I’m a jewelry lover (specifically earrings) and just purchased these small but beautiful gems from Anthropologie. The perfect accent to any outfit in my opinion!
🐰 What was the last rabbit hole you went into?
I’ve recently discovered a new love for Lana Del Ray’s music and I’ve watched several interviews with her learning where her inspiration comes from in her songwriting. I love learning about the person behind the art and learned that at a very young age she struggled with alcoholism. According her Ray, “her lyrics and music seem to connect to women who see things a certain way.” Deep in the rabbit hole I’ve found that she seems like an honest, beautiful human with flaws and strengths just like the rest of us. And a truly talented artist to boot!
📺 Give us a TV show or movie recommendation!
I just started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm with my husband (I know - only 20+ years late to the game) and I’ve never laughed harder. I love that we have 7 seasons of laughter ahead of us! Highly recommend if you haven’t watched yet - and start at the beginning! S.L.H: This is my signt to start watching this. I’ve always avoided it
📖 What’s a book you enjoyed recently?
“A good story doesn’t just copy life, it pushes back on it.” - Barbara Kingsolver.
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. Inspired by David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, this novel will make you laugh and break your heart somehow at the same time. It’s a beautifully written story about a boy born into poverty, who has been orphaned by his family at a young age and how he navigates life from the hardest of circumstances. S.L.H: Top 2023 book for me.
Thank you so much
