We're stuck in a tiny algorithmic k-hole. Mostly, I like it. After all, sometimes I *am* just like the other girls! But I always want to break out and punch things up, too. It's probably why I always have so many tabs open. Discovery is my drug. This was a great read, as always.

I’d love a screenshot of these tabs.

They all end up in my newsletter, so in a way, The Love List is just one big screen shot

I love this. The Aesop story makes me think of Le Labo Santal 33. I remember when I first found it a zillion years ago, how fresh and cool it felt. And how quickly it was just... everywhere!

Totally! And I still love the scent. But it’s almost so cliche it’s cool again.

So many gems in here. I love Attersee and TWP. The Salting is new to me. Will check out. Sounds perfect.

My favorite moment in moving to California last summer was the maiden delivery of my flamingo estates regenerative FARM box & their flower subscription.. always w a little surprise thrown in.. & a mint green weekly paper listing all the growers & musings from the founder. Genius xo

Love this, and so cleverly written. I feel like I can't escape this in my work, every image of inspiration all the sudden feels already done by the time a project comes to fruition.

To us, yes, 100%. But to others, remember it still feels novel.

I love all of your fabulous rec's but G. Label. So derivative and boring. Also overpriced. Grover Rad and The Salting are my personal favorites.
