I'm A Matcha Freak
LOL but no really I am, especially with cashew milk
Happy Memorial Day! I’m happily taking the day off to relax and recharge. Something I haven’t fully done in awhile. Hopefully I can manage to not login to g-mail once today.
I haven’t been in the kitchen as much as I’d like recently. Work projects have been keeping me so busy and I’ve been under the weather on top of that. I’ll be back in due time with a long list of items I’d like to make.
Even though we are in between season of the podcast, this newsletter isn’t going anywhere. I love writing it each week and it’s a nice check-in point for myself too.
I hope you’re enjoying your 3-day weekend and find something that inspires you in today’s digest!
In the meantime catch up on S4:
Everything I’ve Been Loving
Clothing
Opia Bridget Midi Dress — it loosely reminds me of this dress from Deji Studios but in a fun print
Things Between Piper Cardigan — Hailee posted about getting sent this weather and I immediately looked it up because the cut is just too good
Kit + Ace Restore Shorts — I saw Tess talking about these shorts on TikTok and as someone who wears a lot of sweat-style clothes while working from home, I fear I need these
Lisa Says Gah Addison Short — this. print. WOW.
Food & Bev
Matcha Freak — I just received my first tin in the mail after being influenced by Hannah and I’m already obsessed. Plus it’s at a great price point, $19!
Lifestyle
Molten Ceramics Fennel Vase — tell me this isn’t the best thing you’ve ever seen
Kotn Beach Towel in French Blue Stripe — if I was rich and had a beach house I would be outfitting it with these towels
Color Dept. Nail Polish — my favorites are kiwi juice, morning squeeze, strawberry jam, and avo guac
Consumption Guide
R.E.P.O.R.T is an acronym for Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing, Recommending, and Treating
R- I just picked up the Bridgerton book about the current season and I cannot wait to start it this weekend. I’m also reading Just For The Summer by Abbey Jimenez for a bookclub. It’s so funny I’ve never read any of her books before because I’m obsessed with her dogs on TikTok.
E- Matcha lattes with cashew milk, [Good Culture] cottage cheese with smoked salt & lots of black pepper, snack plates with cheese/pickles/olives/salami/crackers, cold-pressed juice shots
P- Billie Eilish’s new album, tell me your favorite song(s)?
O- These recipes: toasted pistachio bombs, spicy yuzu margarita (with fish sauce!), passionfruit posset (are possets the new molten lava cake?), smash taco dumplings
R- Good Children podcast, I’ve been a long time listener and nothing makes me laugh harder than one of their episodes
T- cookies from the freezer, specifically Molly’s brown butter pistachio halva cookies
