kate + lemonade
Sweetened condensed milk and plenty of butter make these bars perfectly crunchy-chewy and salty-sweet.
This recipe is also super easy: just stir all the ingredients together and bake. After one bite, you’ll never want to eat a store-bought granola bar again.
First, drink a tall glass of water. (You’re probably dehydrated.)
Then, concentrate on your headache. Ask yourself these four questions:
Paul Graham says every city tells you something. In New York it’s Make more money. In Paris, it’s Enjoy life.[1]
I think Tokyo’s message is “Conform” with quotation marks 😉 . Tokyo wants you to follow the rules—or at least appear to follow them—but it tacitly makes room for digressions, under the table.
Hello! So I missed my deadline last time (going more than three weeks without a post), and now I’m missing it AGAIN. Ahh.
I have a good reason, though: I *had to* get out of my previous living situation, so over the past six weeks I have been very scattered and unable to concentrate on anything other than finding somewhere to live.
And now I’ve found somewhere! Yay! I moved into my own apartment three days ago. It presently contains almost zero furniture. (I’m sleeping on a yoga mat on the floor—which isn’t that bad, really. I may never buy a mattress again.)
I hope to be properly settled and able to return to semi-regular blogging in a few weeks. Until then, please enjoy these Pinterest design inspiration photos.
This is my dream decor: some sort of Japanese-Balinese-Thai-inspired, zen-French fusion, wabi-sabi (Japanese shabby-chic), industrial/modern twist on minimalist classics. Not sure what to call that, but let me know if you have any suggestions 😛
I started keeping these Stuff of the Month lists around age 12. (Credit to my sister Gemma for coming up with the idea, which I copied.)
You know how there’s an Employee of the Month? The Stuff of the Month list is a form of bullet-journaling where you name the Food of the Month (as in your favorite food you ate recently or a food that featured prominently in your month), Movie of the Month, etc.
High signal-to-noise ratio, and insane dedication to research.
If you only watch one video from this whole list, I recommend this one:
I went to Bangkok twice during my six-month Asia trip, and had two totally different experiences. This is part one: the week of being a tacky backpacker (July 2019).
I really like this song. I heard it several times in Bali in November, so at first I was listening to it because it reminded me of that part of my trip. Lately, however, it has become a sad song, because it has been swirling around my head during all this bad news, the background music to my dawning realization that my dream is over.
