A roundup of September glimmers ✨

Now that the 60/40 project is donezo, it’s been interesting to see what I feel excited to share here.

Longer reflection to come, but I think the biggest takeaway from these 60 days of posting is that generally speaking, our pressure-filled negative self-talk of what and how we “should” share here is merely the response to a mirage.

Trends change. Feeds get reorganized. There is no set rhyme or reason to what hits on here and what flops, and no way to permanently win the game. The “shoulds” we create are a natural response to our brains trying to make sense of a nonsensical algorithm, in order to get what it is we really hope for each time we post: a dose of connection.

And so, the only real thing we can do is cultivate that connection within ourselves, to ourselves, and work to feel PROUD of the way we show up here. Whether you’re someone who lurks with a nonexistent grid, or posts 2xs a day, or runs their business online, or is a super(re)sharer, it’s all the same: I think if we can all feel genuinely proud of how we show up here, the shoulds might just become irrelevant — and we might just get what we’ve been looking for all along 💛

WHAT A MONTH. Hello 40s, hello Fall, hello Q4 magic ✨

(sound on, but not too loud, you’ve been warned)

You know I always aim to be honest with you, so no sugarcoating: even though it’s against my ethos to be a “prepare to be disappointed” kind of person, I WAS mentally and emotionally prepared for my actual birthday to pretty much be a wash.

In a not-so-great turn of events, I became super sick early last week. Like, can’t-put-together-clear-thoughts, everything-hurts, sleep-48-hours kind of sick. I had to cancel a much anticipated weekend upstate, and had accepted the likelihood that I might still be sick by my birthday and not be able to do anything but sleep. Of course, I thought, I would put so much emphasis on this milestone to not be able to fully enjoy it. The negative self-talk was banging on my door.

But in a VERY-great turn of events, not only did I turn a corner by Sunday (thank you body/sleep/modern medicine!), but Jeremy created THE coziest staycation for me in lieu of our upstate trip, and filled my birthday eve and birthday-day with all my favorite things. My parents showered me with love from miles away, making sure they were here in spirit (I’ve always maintained that my birthday is as much about them as it is me!!). My house is now filled with the most gorgeous flowers. I got a video put together by @angelajeanleigh filled with messages from so many people dear to me and one put together by @ppeglar filled with clips two decades old that I’d literally never seen before that felt like unlocking a time machine back to the early days of me becoming me. The team at @dellanima made me feel so special and @arg120 almost made me cry by remembering my unhealthy obsession with matchbooks. And in a REALLY miraculous turn of events, it even stopped raining in time to do my favorite thing of all: take a long walk in Central Park with the pup pack.

Feeling so deeply touched by the thoughtfulness of my family, my family of friends, and neighborhood community.

A few people told me that getting sick during your birthday week is your body’s way of cleansing before what’s to come.

So if this is any sign of what that is: I think I’m gonna love what this decade has in store for me.

Adding dell’anima to my NYC Italian rotation 🤌🏼🍝

Everything we ordered was SO good, but the Chicken Al Diavolo was the standout for me 🔥 seriously SO flavorful and definitely something I’d order again.

We also had the tomato with burrata (the tomatoes are SO good right now 🍅), octopus, carbonara, agnolotti pasta & branzino and loved every single thing!

Such a cute, cozy spot in the West Village — save this one for your next dinner in NYC 🤍
