Feeling a rosewater obsession comin' on, fueled by this Mario Badescu face spray (which, it should be noted, mists uncommonly well).
Apartment-cleaning to the captivating episode of Death, Sex & Money with Brooke Shields, who I haven't quite known how to feel about since reading that so, so good Andre Agassi autobiography, Open.
Uncovering a faster way to cook sweet potatoes that's also 1) very tasty 2) healthy and 3) filling, with lots of beans and kale. Does it sound like I'm doing a hard sell? Because I am.
Fancifying my shower timez with these DIYed aromatherapy tablets/bombs/melts/what-have-yous that I discovered via Simple Matters. Currently playing: grapefruit and jasmine.
Learning that the super-influential Paris store Merci has a blog—one that involves vegetable peelers and outrageous ice cream cakes, even.

Getting into a truly consistent meditation routine for the first time ever with this app, which has a seemingly infinite selection of guided recordings to choose from so you can pick the length, topic, and style that feels right for you.
