Inspired by the annoying alarm on my Apple Watch and a really hard day. “You did it.” You stood today. Even just for an hour. And the bed still shows your shape. Move your stiff muscles to the bathroom and stare at the mirror. You stood today. Pick up the lighter. Light a candle. Fluff …
Like many during this “unprecedented time” *cue eye roll* I’ve been dreaming of moving on and moving forward. In April, I was still hoping to see New York City in the Fall to call it home. In June, I was coming to terms with having to move back to the town I grew up in. …
It's one of the first things they teach you in Islander 101. I’ve grown up on the beach my entire life.

My mother, for example, thinks cooking …
How long does it take for two girls on a Zoom call to make the easiest bread on the internet? Too long. We're talking 30+ hours of panic and One Direction conversations. But rather than give you a play-by-play of everything that happened, we made a little video to showcase our award-winning baking talents. HUGE …
Why is everyone suddenly so interested in sourdough starters? I could easily try to psychoanalyze why everyone has decided to become Peeta Mellark during their self-quarantine. Maybe it’s because everyone wants to feel like they’re in control? Maybe it’s because they can’t “get this mf bread” so instead, they have to make it themselves? At …
