I hadn't read a novel in about 45 years (I only care about stuff that is true) but I absolutely fell in love with this book and truly could not put it down. Nolan's novel is about obsession, sex, love and booze and boy addiction-- all the hits. I've never brought a book (or myself) onto the elliptical, but cut to me last month at Equinox absolutely devouring this book while taking little slidey steps to and fro. By the way, last week I saw a girl on the treadmill with her hair down?????? Someone send an ambulance!

I picked up this book from a used bookstore in midtown after seeing the cover, which read ādead glamorous: the autobiography of seduction and self-destructionā - enough to convince me! The book, aptly named, is about death and glamour, which are just about all I think about nowadays. Carole is shallow and cynical and twisted and perfect and relatable (ex. āI wanted to live in a black-and-white world with champagne for breakfast and millions of men committing suicide over meā) - jāadore!

I really struggle to read. Iām one of those people who looks at words and most times donāt read them. Whenever I try to read a book I get distracted and panicked about how Iām gonna turn the page now that Iām soooo comfortable lying down. The last book I read (held the book and listened to it) was Down The Drain by Julia Fox - so you can trust I have TASTE. This book feels very close to home. Very gay, sad, happy, promiscuous. Ten out of ten, if it were a person Iād make out with it.

Currently reading a third time because itās just so yummy. i read it the first time in a day granted I was in rehab. Eve babitz is the fucking goat and forever underrated. OG it girl and tortured artist literally female Ernest Hemingway With a dash of hunter Thompson heaping spoon of Joan didion. Fiction based in reality like a girl moveable feast. I think I like it so much bc the main character is me coded tbh but the way she says so much in so little is insane and itās hard to believe itās not written recently bc it feels so vivid

An ex-lover introduced me to this youtube channel that plays non-stop "beats to relax/study to" and honey it has become the soundtrack of my LIFE! I'm a library bitch (can't write if music has lyrics) so this ambient instrumental station is perfect to listen to while I'm trying to write the next great american instagram poem from the comforts of my own bed. and it goes without saying the girl in the video has become like family to me! she's sooo cozy & hygge & I really hope she gets everything she wants in this life. there is also some kind of community aspect to the station in the form of a constantly refreshing chat function that I don't understand and fear immensely, please don't explain it to me!

I've really come alive this summer thanks to my new athleisure skort...in my new athlesiure skort I'm young, wild and free, I'm a guy's girl, I'm lithe, I'm being very Je ne sais quoi and falling in love along every avenue, showing off the highest heights of my thick ass thighs without exposing my pussy hole. I simply adore my new athlesiure skort. Also this company is size-inclusive and sustainable. Bonus vibes!

My friend from collegeĀ Caroline Reese NelsonĀ left behind her life as aĀ singer-songwriterĀ in Philly to literally move to Montana, marry a guy she fell in love with when she was 18, and become a full-time shepherd and rancher. I went to visit her last summer while on a cross-country road trip and she said that now, even when life is hard, she has a "LOW LEVEL OF CONSTANT CONTENTMENT" can u even imagine???? I live for her instagram stories where she explains the ins and outs of farm life while looking absolutely stunning. I've also ordered her Little Creek Black Angus Beef which she ships all over the country. The meat is antibiotic free and raised with soil health and carbon storage always top of mind. Following Caroline on Insta is my fave way to escape city life (NYC is amusement park from hell)
