What could you do less of? It’s the holidays, and let me be clear. I love the holidays. Gift-giving is my love language, my cardio, my seasonal sport. I’ll binge Hallmark movies like they’re intellectual cinema, even though I’m not exactly a “hug it out” kind of gal. […]
Some days I wake up, skim a few “news” articles (and I’m using the term as loosely) and I’m greeted with a new trend. Apparently, women are ditching their pants. Lauren Sánchez. Sabrina Carpenter. Miley Cyrus. Wait. She ever wore pants? A whole parade of famous folks are […]
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? I’ve learned something about myself over the years. For all my spontaneity, sass, and willingness to leap before looking, the hardest decisions I’ve ever made all come down to one thing: Leaving. Not staying.Not choosing.But leaving. Every major […]

Who are your current most favorite people? Let’s get one thing out of the way. I could absolutely say my favorite person right now is the Pope. He’s cool, he’s chill, and honestly both the current pope and the last one had that quiet “I see the absurdity […]
I have a confession that would make any dermatologist sigh deeply: I do not care for the cold. Actually, let’s be real. I straight-up wage war with the cold. When that first icy breeze hits in November, my skin immediately files an HR complaint. I get hives. Rashes. […]
