My Little Black Book
First Love by Lilly Dancyger, Skincare Discovery Set by Surya Spa, & Rosanna & Paolo Sideboard by Erwan Boulloud
Hello my dear friends,
Let’s jump right in with this week’s micro edition of my Little Black Book of treasures I am loving right now.
Identifying with the great love I have for my girlfriends and how much they have helped shape who I am today, I had been eagerly awaiting first love by lilly dancyger to land on shelves and in my hands. “Each essay in this incisive collection is grounded in a close female friendship in Dancyger’s life, reaching outward to dissect cultural assumptions about identity and desire, and the many ways women create space for each other in a world that wants us small.” I have been reading this treasure trove of stories every evening this week and I have sincerely enjoyed reflecting on my own friendships as I journey with Lily as she traverses the terrain of the female relationships that have left her most changed.
Recently my intuition has been calling me to explore Ayurveda, a holistic science of life that aims to balance and improve mind, body, spirit, and social well-being. Because I have had very little experience or knowledge in Ayurveda, I started researching and found Ayurveda specialist, Martha Soffer, in my own backyard. She founded renown Surya Spa, which is on my list to try, but decided to dip my toe in the water with her Skincare Discovery Set. I love every product in the set with the Balancing Collagen Cream worked into the skin with the Kansa Wand, next level. I can’t explain it, but highly recommend experiencing it yourself.
Rosanna & Paolo Sideboard by Erwan Boulloud is an absolute stunner that would be a dream piece in the music room of our new home. The brass marquetry design creating the decorative pattern of reverberating circles adorned with crystals speaks in my mind to the movement of music. I imagine a gorgeous turn table on the top with vintage vinyl records inside.
Until next time!
