RECENTS: VOL 002
01 WHAT AM I TRYING TO HAVE A BIGGER EXPERIENCE OF?
this was a teaching i got from benshen course last month, and it’s stuck with me since. now, when i feel like i want to complain, rant or perpetuate an unwanted story, i try to pause and ask myself: what am i trying to have a bigger experience of? it’s forced me to redirect my attention and focus instead on building the energy and momentum towards something i actually do want.
02 DEL REAL ORGANIC MEDJOOL DATES
the chokehold these dates have on me. my friend nicole visited from california recently and, being the angel she is, brought me a few boxes of these dates. to say i’m obsessed is an understatement. they’re so plump, so juicy, so MOIST, and honestly just the best thing i’ve ever put in my mouth. equally drool-worthy are the dates from rancho meladuco (if you’re in NYC, you can actually find these at bonberi mart in the west village or depanneur in williamsburg!) and 7 hot dates (online order, but SO well worth the wait). once you taste real ass fresh ass dates, you really can’t go back. and of course they’re all from california…is this my sign?
03 SWAN KRIYA
this meditation is so beautiful and sensual, and reminds me of why i love kundalini yoga so much. the simplicity of just 3 minutes a day and the power of some light breath work can elevate you to a whole other level. this one is definitely my new go-to.
04 LEMAIRE CROISSANT BAG
the perfect bag doesn’t exi— this is honestly the only crossbody bag you’ll ever need. it’s perfect for every day and perfect for travel. she’s chic, she’s elevated, she’s versatile, she’s simple, she’s timeless, she’s beautiful. she’s also deceivingly roomy. every color she comes in is absolutely stunning and made of buttery leather perfection. i could write an entire essay about why i love this bag so much, but i’ll spare you. all you need to know is — if she’s calling you, the answer is yes.
