Dearest friends,

November has been feeling a teensy bit dreary—how about you? Don't get me wrong, I am happy about the rain. I just like to think about how the weather can affect our moods. When I am feeling sad, I love clouds and cold, or the drama of midwestern storms. Other times, when the sun is shining and I am desperately sad, there is a cruelty to it.

Anyway, I hope you are finding ways to be cozy, however thick the clouds in the sky may be. 

Here are a few things we've been into lately. 

I like to think you're under a blanket snuggling and reading this... I hope so. xx

Endlessly fascinated by the social complexity of Who Is the Bad Art Friend?

The idea that "you aren't lazy, you just need to slow down" really spoke to me and I can't wait to talk to Devon Price, author of Laziness Does Not Exist, on my Instagram later this month.

Chanel Miller continues to inspire and astound me with how sensitively and perceptively she makes sense of the world through illustration, words, and just the sheer bravery of being alive and telling her story. Have you read her book?

Ramen Shop makes to-go ramen kits and they are incredible. 

For fireside vibes without the fireplace... obsessed with these photos by the wonderful Melina from 5th Floor Walkup Blog. (You can find the blanket here.)

The love you will never know about. 

Can't stop listening to the new Lana Del Rey album. It's sooooo good.

These underwear.

Last but not least, we have BUTT pillowcases 🍑🍑🍑 (limited edition)

All my heart,

Carissa
