I accidentally got two dogs (went to adopt one, ended up with two) a few months ago and my boyfriend stated up front that we will NOT be pet parents who buy their dogs clothes. Fast-forward one month and Nancy (one of our dogs) is wearing a fleece onesie that looks like assless chaps from Little Beast. So how did we get here? Little Beast isn’t your typical dog clothes company and my boyfriend agreed. The brand is sort of like if Entireworld made dog clothes—comfy, classic striped patterns, and a good selection of colors. Sold.

The hottest new trend this fall (and every season for forever) is adopting an animal from your local shelter. There’s nothing I recommend more than falling in love with a little sweetie and changing their life (and yours) for forever. The shelters in LA have been over capacity for months and months and it breaks my heart everyday. We all know the harm in adopting from a breeder or pet store AND THERE ARE SO MANY BABIES WAITING FOR A FOREVER HOME. My daughter Bunny was a stray and now her only problem is trying to get me to go to bed when I want to stay up late (she likes to be under the covers by 9.)

So remember when everybody got puppies and kittens and whatever the fuck else during covid? Right, that happened, and it was great! Shelters were empty, homes were full of love. Then the world opened up and a lot of those folx went back to their jobs and decided that, while it was a cute instagrammable and tik tok moment for them, ultimately being a pet owner was so 2020 and just no longer their brand. So now, those animals are back in shelters, and shelters are full to the brim, you get it. Obviously don’t get an animal without thinking about the big picture of your life, it’s not for everybody nor is everybody in a place where they can take care for a furry friend. BUT if you can, do. It changed my life being a dog mom. Gives me purpose and a great excuse to leave parties and get out of bed in the morning.

Sometimes I get mad at my Instagram explore page because it’s just all squiggly candles, checkerboard prints, and sun-soaked interiors. Like, is that who I really am? But then I look in my bathroom and realize it is. I now have both the green checkerboard Baina bath mat and the red checkerboard Baina towel. YOU GOT ME, INSTAGRAM. Whatever, the towel is perfect (not too soft!) and the bath mat makes my feet extra happy. Haven’t gotten into the squiggly candle trend yet though—take that, explore page.

I have never received as much engagement on an Instagram Story as when I posted a before and after of using Barkeeper’s Friend on my Le Creuset. I was resigned to the fact that my matte white Dutch oven would just forever have a brown ombré effect on the bottom half thanks to years of it sitting on a burner. But no! The magic that is Barkeeper’s Friend and a shit ton of scrubbing took it off in, like, 20 minutes flat. Extremely satisfying. Highly recommend.

I just finished the first issue of For The Culture, a new magazine from Klancy Miller celebrating Black women in food and wine, and already can’t wait to read the next. I particularly loved Cha McCoy’s interview with winemaker Krista Scruggs, hearing how Jenna Wortham has been practicing self-care, and Omolola Olateju’s essay Being Black in Hospitality. After leaving my job in food media, I was feeling a little burnt out on consuming food media. This magazine changed that.
