I didn't realize how important the vessels we use to eat and drink from actually are to the gastronomic experience until I started making my own glasses. My new collection of hand blown glasses have completely and utterly transformed the beverage experience. They're SO pretty and they have such a nice "hand" (and industry term, don't worry about it!). There is one glass that is the color of raspberry ice with a beautiful butter yellow flower adorning the front that makes my morning chlorophyll water the most fabulous part of my day.

I hate water with a passion so I have to trick myself into drinking it. Only way I've been able to do so is with a really pretty glass. This one is from Murano, it's very sturdy, has grips for your hands, and I love the crazy colors and patterns.

You know how at a restaurant they bring you a glass bottle with a pop top...and if you are lucky--they will just leave it at the table? This water in glass is always the best part of eating out. Turns out you can just buy those glass bottles and keep them in your fridge. I own six. I swig NYC tap directly out of them. Straight from the source. An ice cold glass bottle. These bottles frost when they are appropriately cold. Only problem with this system is sometimes... I go out to a restaurant and accidentally swig direct from one of their water bottles.

A lot of places serve their beer in one of several small glasses (probably somewhere between 5-7oz). You know when you're like ⅔ through a pint and the beer has become lukewarm? Why don't you just have a cute little glass of beer instead? Get a few for your house-- the fridge is close by and you can refill as often as you want.

Last summer I spent a lot of time pining over this boy that I had been on and off with for 2 years. He told me this one story about a long boozy summer lunch he had in Brittany and it wouldn't leave my mind. I so deeply wanted to be there and a part of a world where people have long boozy lunches in Brittany. One thing I love about anything (food, movies, books, music) is if it makes me feel like I'm in a different time and place. I decided to fill my home with music that would transport me to Paris in the era of "Gigi", which is this radio station. It's so wistful and nostalgic of my past life as a sexually empowered courtesan. Also, things did not work out with that guy.

I am very into SCENT. I am wild for SCENT. I also HATE certain SCENTS (if a guy smells bad, it's the end of it 4 me. Conversely, if he smells good, it's devastating 4 me). All that to say, this laundry detergent which I found at a magical italian grocer in NJ, has made my life such a better place to be. It's a really soft, clean musk that lightly lingers on your clothes and sheets. My clothes are dried on a rack instead of in the dryer (for the environment!) which makes everything crispy, it's very Ferrante-esque.

I have been in the business of absolutely murdering my poor scissors for years. I put them in the "spread eagle" position and use them to slash open all of my many online purchase boxes. They have been continuously stretched beyond their capabilities. All this has changed since I made the shift to my special box cutter. I bought it at the Ace hardware store on 1st avenue. It wasn't the cheapest but also not the most expensive. It was probably around $12 and it's radically transformed my day to day existence.
