Comfort food: volume 05

Resetting the nervous system, one little luxury at a time.

• The new Bridget Jones movie: I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. And now I am exclusively watching equally heartfelt rom-coms. Comfort food at its best.

• Iced matcha at home: I like making mine with this matcha, plus a mix of coconut water and cashew milk (also cinnamon, plenty of it). Let me know if you try it.

• Swapping podcasts for music: less chatter, more vibes lol. My brain has been feeling it all lately, and walking/cooking/waking up to music has felt especially grounding. This playlist as well:

• Erewhon “snack” bread with cottage cheese + cinnamon: toasted, generously topped, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Trust me!

• My morning hydration bev: I simply mix this cellular hydration powder with 6-8 oz of room temperature water, first thing. Tastes like a barely-sweet lemonade. For beauty? Health? TBD, but I like it.

• Also starting my mornings with this facial massage tutorial: again, whether it “lifts, drains, etc.” or not, I’m all in. Who doesn’t love a little pamper moment?

• Being off TikTok: my brain is quieter. More spacious. I’m starting and ending my days with actual books. I’m only six days in (it’s a start!), would recommend.

• Speaking of books: Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors. If you like Sally Rooney’s work, I think you’ll love this one too. I can’t put it down.

• Lastly, saving the dreamiest of interiors via Cosmos, aka the new Pinterest: sorry, and you’re welcome. Like the below.

Okay, that’s all for now. Things are winding down at work—next Friday is my last day. From there, I’m taking myself to Mexico for a solo week of sun, good food, and whatever adventures come my way. I’ll be sure to report back. Until then, take care <3

Ciao for now,

Jess
