  • Uniqlo x JW Anderson sweater Liked

    It's a beautiful sweater and 100% wool. So far they're pilling a little (to be expected), so I'll definitely be checking in on this one next year. That price is hard to trust.

  • Sézane x New Balance 471 sneakers Loved

    Full disclosure, I got these for free, but have become unexpectedly obsessed. I wear them constantly and really like how they instantly change the mood of an outfit. Can't really say why they stand out since they're pretty basic but people ask me about them all the time.

  • Tony's Chocolonely Lil Bits Loved

    Tony's Chocolonely Lil Bits (in Milk Caramel Sea Salt and Cookie Mix), which single-handedly got me through this work year. I shudder to think how many bags of these I ate, but I can barely finish an essay without one.

  • McCann's Irish Oatmeal Liked

    McCann's Irish Oatmeal, which I find to be far superior to Quaker. When I make it with whole milk, I could eat the entire bowl plain.

  • See's Bridge Mix Loved

    See's Bridge Mix. My parents had this at their house when we visited in January and we've been buying them throughout the year whenever we come across a See's. The best box to have around the house.

  • Grimm's blocks Loved

    I sincerely find these blocks to be perfect and transcendent to play with—it's about the dimensions, they all fit together perfectly like you've just beautifully solved a complex math problem.

  • squatty potty Loved

    I got the bamboo one because I thought it might fit the shape of my toilet best but I didn't get it for the look. It's ugly of course. Nevertheless I've become deeply committed to proper poop posture. I hate pooping without it!!!

  • Boos block Loved

    Bought after much cutting-board deliberation and based on your recommendations. We love this thing. We got one that nearly fills a section of our counter (between the stove and wall) and it's heaven to have so much space to cut various things at the same time.

  • Swedish dishcloths Recommends

    If you're a paper towel demon and feel guilty about it, I can't recommend these enough. Perfect for cleaning counters and random floor messes (talking to parents).

  • The IKEA Pax system Liked

    We now have two custom IKEA storage cabinets in our house (one in our bedroom and one in our living room). For both, we chose to have basket drawers on the bottom, one regular drawer in the middle, and shelves above that—the perfect setup for clothes and home goods IMO.

  • Dead Weight Liked

    Dead Weight by Emmeline Clein: Certain parts of this book really stuck with me and changed how I think, like the chapter on the psychological effects of restriction.

  • I Who Have Never Known Men Loved

    I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Hartman: A quick and haunting bit of speculative fiction that I still think about all the time. Couldn't put it down.

  • Anna Karenina Loved

    Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy: Made the random choice to listen to this and loved the experience (especially for getting through some of the boring parts, sorry). Shout out Maggie Gyllenhaal.

  • The Broken Earth Trilogy Loved

    The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemison (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, The Stone Sky): Triple-Hugo winner. Stunning world-building. Really fun to escape into a series—haven't done that in years.

  • The Door Loved

    The Door by Magda Szabo: My all-around favorite. Addicting, deeply charming, devastating. A protagonist I'll never forget.
