As a diverse staff, our team has interests spanning far and wide from veganism to sustainable fashion to music and much much more.
This is your reminder to do what makes YOU happy. In this time of uncertainty, the one thing you can rely on is yourself, so you might as well find time to do the things you enjoy!
Amber: Nail art inspo! I’m trying new things & learning how to paint my nails/do nail art with my left hand. I obsessively read Who What Wear UK & have been loving all of the new quarantine nail art inspo they post! Another great account I follow for colorful, quirky fashion inspo & nail art ideas is Marianne Theodorsen - she is the queen of color.
Wendy: Spending time with my weenie dog, reading, listening to music & celebrating my friends and their newfound creative projects!
Perla: Supporting vintage & sustainable shops! I’ve been trying to be more conscious about my consumerism. Finding shops that focus on vintage items & shops that ensure ethical production (slow fashion) items.
Kathryn: A print of London that I just ordered! It brings me joy since I can’t travel there right now. London is special to me because I studied abroad there in college & reminds me of such good memories. I ordered the prints from Paper and Cities.
Sola: Slight plug for the Instagram page my closest friends & I started during quarantine. @elucidate.co has brought me a lot of joy because of the content we’re putting out & the feedback I’ve been getting from the people I love.
Avery: Listening to podcasts. My favorites are career-focused & crime podcasts! I’m loving playing around with nail art too!
Janae: New roller blades that my two best friends surprised me with for my birthday (they spent five hours spray painting them for me). We are all planning to go to a park & skate together!!
Victoria: Rewatching early 2000’s TV shows like The O.C., Laguna Beach & One Tree Hill (been feeling super nostalgic lately). Also, I interned for the Cowboys last year so I’m super excited that NFL season is back!!
Paige: Checking out books from my local library (the Millennium series has single handedly pulled me from my reading slump), rewatching Game of Thrones with my boyfriend & making pumpkin lattes with my new Nespresso machine!
What’s bringing YOU joy?
