A semi-regular list of what’s in rotation (see more of this series on the JH instagram)

  1. Reading: Late to the party, but getting into “My Brilliant Friend” (just in time for the show...)

  2. Listening: Podcasts! Enjoying Recho Omondi’s “The Cutting Room Floor” and “How I Built This”

  3. Collecting: Salts. An easy way to make a meal feel a tiny bit fancier. 

    Liking:

    1. Black truffle

    2. Hawaiian Red Gold lava (plus it’s a beautiful rust red color)

    3. Coarse cyprus (like Maldon — ps I think this industrial sized tub would make a good gift…)

4. Wearing: The new Objet pendant (+ inside it I’ve been storing a cotton ball soaked in
rose oil ... )

5. Thinking about: Time alone. I’ve been inspired recently to venture out on more solo activities and spend time alone as a creative exercise.

6. Beverage add-in: Per a friend’s recommendation I’ve been adding Tocos to my coffee ... it’s rich in Vitamins E and D and emulsifies like a coffee creamer. Tastes like malted milk!

7. On my nails: Simple, delicate Agnes polish. Soft and watercolor-like.

8. Snack of the moment: Sundried plums (they taste like candy!)

9. Winter wear: Drawn to the old standbys in my closet, ie: my favorite vintage cashmere sweater that I literally wore the elbows off of. 

A friend asked if it was Margiela; “it’s vintage Kirkland from Thrift Town in Sacramento, courtesy of my mom.”


10. Daily earrings: The Tetra I in gold
