Music

Kendrick Lamar: Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers. Hands down, my most-played album this year.

Food

I adore the NY Times Cooking app. I’ve learned how to make some delicious food. Try the Slow Cooker Butter Chicken or Bacon Fried Rice. YUM!

Books

Lessons from the Empress: A Tarot Workbook for Self-Care and Creativity by Cassandra Snow and Siri Vincent Plouff: I keep saying this is the book I wish I wrote. I mean that!

Mastering Magick from Mat Auryn: Mat’s follow-up to Psychic Witch is so, so good.

Tazama African Tarot: this deck has serious museum-quality vibes.

Evil Eye Protection Spray: Sprays are an excellent alternative to incense. This new creation from Eye Love Love has been my go-to spritz for months now!

Beauty supplies

Glossier Lip Balm Dot Com: I was devastated when Kiehl’s got rid of their Balm #1 in a tub. This Glossier Lip Balm works almost as well. (Please Kiehls, bring back the tub!)

Candy

Kinder Bueno Minis: I’ve become seriously addicted to these wee treats. Someone needs to stop me!
