Right now, it’s that perfect sweet spot between autumn and winter when I don’t quite have to turn on my SAD lamp just yet. The days are still warm, but the nights are just cool enough for me to enjoy sipping on my Trader Joe’s […]
Just like Taylor Swift and pumpkin spice lattes, my powers activate during autumn. ‘Tis the damn season for coziness and cuffing and calm. It’s when all of my grandma hobbies are en vogue: curling up with a good book, knitting blankets with the most basic […]
