the fact that it’s already January 45th is incredible. lol. it’s been a month, folks. started off strong with a cold plunge in the bay and then came down with COVID like 4 days later. i had a *literal* and *legitimate* tantrum when i tested positive! no joke, i was sobbing and punching the bed… like what girl? you good? no, i was not “good”. but i came back stronger than ever - after 2 weeks with little to no exercise - on a run, wherein i looked like the hunchback of Notre Dame undergoing an active case of chest palpitations. i guess you could say i’m ~absolutely ready~ for this month to be over. i’ve got some FUN STUFF coming in Feb, too! stay tuned 🎀
loving lately



i want to be really clear that this oversized jean jacket has changed my life. i never knew looking so cool could be so… effortless? probably the best purchase i’ve made in the last year. i’m wearing an XXL. also on my cool-girl list is this puffer vest water bottle that’s actually just as functional as it is hip. and, of course, speckled enamelware - putting serve ware in the oven is so revolutionary to me.
Aquarian Sparkle Splash
welcome to my new mocktail series, alcohol free astrology. first up: aquarius season! here’s the sweatshirt i’m wearing in the video, i get it oversized and it’s the coziest ever. plus, my favorite “highball” glasses that we use daily as water glasses, and ofc the coolest kitchen tweezers ever.
Plantain Chips & Easy Cuban Mocktail
going back to my roooots for this one. plantain chips are literally life and they’re so easy to make at home. plus they taste better. i get constant compliments on the blue sweater i’m wearing in this video and these short rocks glasses can be used for every liquid your heart desires. this non-stick pan is what i use for all high-heat foods. also, my fave jigger & shaker set for making any cocktail.
Chopped Chicken Caesar Wraps
i wholeheartedly believe that all chicken caesar wraps MUST be in chopped salad form. here’s a link to my relaxed linen shirt as well as my glass bowl set which is a pantry essential in our house. plus, the microplaner that does it all and the non-stick pan i use for just about everything that requires medium heat.



love you, love you, love you allll! your pen pal, Olivia.
