The NYT crossword is normally so prim and proper that seeing “orgy” yesterday felt like watching a librarian swear.

Dinner dates are a favorite of mine, but a slow, indulgent brunch can be just as tempting... 🍳

Sure, I could fill a wishlist with lace and fantasy, but I’d rather let it reflect the real things that make my days brighter. I adore beautiful lingerie, of course — but the practical gifts that quietly support my life? Those quite often mean even more. ❤️

Year two, and my little tree gave me a single, perfect apple. Somehow that makes it even better.

Today’s first: homemade cinnamon rolls made with the tangzhong method. My kitchen smells like butter and sugar, and I’m already thinking about a chai variation. (No icing — perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think they’re plenty sweet as is.)

Mid-session, my therapist — entirely unprompted — asked if I’ve had any Botox or fillers because my face was “unusually symmetrical.”
...I haven’t, but I’ll share that unsolicited compliment with you all as an expert testimonial. 😆

Cleaning out my closet and found this ski bib. Sadly, it’s a little too short for me... which feels unfair, because it does look good, doesn’t it? 👀⛷️

To whoever emptied my wishlist last night… I’m both speechless and so deeply touched. If you’re comfortable revealing yourself, please send me an email — I’d love to thank you in a more personal way. ❤️

Diwali reminds me that light isn’t just something we see, it’s something we share. Here’s to the kind that lingers softly, long after the flame. 🪔

Meticulously named attachments tell me you notice the details… and I can’t help wondering where else that exacting touch shows up. 😉

A park ranger once described the struggle of designing bear-proof trash cans: “there’s significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”
My DMs are basically the field study.

I may never love waking up at 6am for workouts with my trainer, but I do love what they remind me: discomfort and progress often share the same space.

Note to self: always double check which Portland. Nearly booked a flight clear across the country instead of up the coast last night — seconds from confirming before I caught it. That would’ve been an unforgettable FMTY… for all the wrong reasons. 😅

TIP: Avoiding stage names on giftcards protects BOTH our privacy. (Initials are perfect.) I also have a discreet email just for them — if we’ve met and you don’t have it, just ask! No need for a third-party company seeing a gift to Léa tied to another name AND YOURS. 😳❤️

Luxury, for me, has never been about labels or logos. It’s about quality: of attention, of conversation, of time. A silk dress that fits just right. A meal lingered over. A connection that feels rare.
If you value that too, we’re already off to a good start.

With everyone trading booze for mocktails, consider this my contribution: no shots, just a cone of vanilla bean nestled between my thighs and your full attention. 🍦

Caught myself stopping to admire an unusually bright-blue bird today. Didn't even hesitate. This is how getting older begins, huh? 😆🐦

Cookbooks line my bookshelf — mementos from people I’ve adored. Flavors and stories pressed into pages, each one an invitation into someone else’s world. On #CulturalDiversityDay, I’m reminded how beautifully this work has broadened my world. Thank you. 🍽️

She’s packing her heels and her lace,
To tempt in some faraway place.
You think it’s all beaches?
It’s secrets and peaches.
And trouble you’re eager to chase.
Happy #NationalLimerickDay! 🍑
