ok now let’s do a fun one
Creativity and positivity have come in bursts this year, but I’m riding a high right now. I became Annie Baker obsessed last year and into this year, and I’m attempting to write a play. With these creative surges comes the anticipation that a slump or a “down week” is inevitably around the corner, so I feel like I’m on a self-imposed deadline.
THIS was posted in a local L.A. Moms group I’m in and has made me and friends I’ve sent it to laugh very hard- check the price tag! I also like the use of stock photos of women of color for positioning purposes up top, and then you scroll down and see the women behind the venture.
There’s a Fall heatwave in L.A. this week but I have felt the first breaths of Autumn. Crisper mornings and darker evenings are my favorite. I always thought my personality was ‘I love summer lol’ but really it’s the cool change and the promise of being cosy that I like.
Obsessed with The Beauty Chef’s- Hydration liquid & Glow powder. I’m not great at drinking water so I have to trick myself into making it a lil treat.
Our podcast ‘The Diversity Hires with Christina Lee & Neha Potalia’ is live! These conversations have been so interesting and inspiring, and dare I say fun, despite the heavy topics. It’s been a great place to direct some energy this summer, and I’m so excited to be releasing them. Next week’s chat with an indigenous writer Tazbah Chavez is one of my favorites. Would love if you subscribed!
My daughter’s best friend has an Alexa at home. We don’t, but Isha keeps yelling “Alexa play Baby Bum” into the ether. We keep telling her we don’t have an Alexa, but that hasn’t stopped her from trying.
In other domestic dispatches… today my husband sprayed AESOP ROOM SPRAY IN THE BIN because he said it smelled bad. Guillotine.
I read that Obama’s surprise book announcement is clogging up printing presses, resulting in other (less high profile) authors needing to push their release into early next year. I had just never thought about this before - I guess you can only print so many books at a time.
How cute are THESE tables.
‘Girlfriends’ on Netflix. I had never seen this before and living in this 2000s multi-cam universe of Dad jokes and laugh tracks is very comforting.
