monday dispatch no. 3

things i’ve been consuming this month.

Whoever said that being a parent is a series of very long days and very short years was right on point. This phrase could sound dire to some, but I can honestly share I have never felt so in the moment, so present since becoming a mother. There’s no doomscrolling aimlessly when a toddler requires your attention, and for that I’m grateful—even if a little tired.

How’s it November ending already?

Today is Monday and consequently one of those very long days, so let’s keep this simple. Here’s a list of some of my favorite things this past month:

• A beautiful article detailing the journey of Little Amal, a 12-foot tall 9-year-old Syrian girl who trekked from Turkey to Britain in search of her mother.

• Harry Styles has launched a new beauty line named Pleasing. The biggest differentiator seems to be its beautiful packaging and I’m not above falling for such antics.

• In case you want to know what the kids are into these days, apparently is something called Dreamcore.

• I always get excited when opening an email by Subtle Maneuvers, a biweekly newsletter on the routines and rituals of famous creatives.

Louise Bourgeois's daily routine

• This excerpt from the Hilary Campbell’s debut graphic novel made me chuckle:

• Lastly, I wanted to include this year’s Christmas video by the Frank Sinatra Foundation dedicated to all Venezuelans who have left the country in search of a better future.
