Arriving to find that little bar of soap already unwrapped? A small detail, but a quietly promising start to the evening. 🧼

Not everything is meant to return, and sometimes absence says more than presence ever could.

A long weekend FMTY in Portland, ME, where every moment lingered:

🦞 Savoring the city’s growing food scene
📚 Exploring a vintage cookbook paradise
⛺️ Wandering the LL Bean flagship store
🌊 Taking in the icy Atlantic at Portland Head Light
🖼️ Touring the Portland Art Museum

I love places that trust you. One of my NC hidden gems is a tiny wine bar where every (VERY generous) pour is $8 and you pay on the honor system — just tell them how many glasses you had at the end of the night and settle up. That quiet belief in people is exactly why it works.🍷

A little love for the talented women behind my favorite images: @inamorataphoto.bsky.social in LA and @taryncarterphoto.bsky.social in NC. If you want photos that feel honest, alive, and unmistakably personal, they’re the names I trust time and time again. 📸

While I try to block sketchy accounts when I see them, please know I can’t personally vouch for everyone that interacts w/my content. There are amazing women here, but also bots, AI, and even real companions I don’t necessarily endorse.

Always do your own research! 🤓

Giving thanks for comfort, warmth, and a hint of mischief.

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. 😅
