On my mind and in my cart, 03 05 24

This is a bit delayed (and very long). I started writing some of this on my way to Paris two weeks ago ish and I have since back to London, Miami, Nashville and now back in Miami. All I have been craving the last two years is to feel settled and at home somewhere and I have never traveled more. What does this mean? I am very thankful for the life I get to live but man do I wish all of my shit was in one place.

Anyway, I’m going to start with in my cart first because it’s been a very fortuitous last few weeks in gifting and shopping for me.

Helle Mardahl gifted me this and now I am dying, once again, over her light fixtures. Sidebar really weird life / getting older observation: it feels really good for someone who I have admired for so long to know who I am. I used to dismiss moments like this as cheesy or dumb or just who cares, but I have slowly (better late than never 😅) started to realize how flawed that thinking is.

I’ve been using Rhode and I think I like it (the set and the cleanser). There was a day in Paris where I really felt like it was doing wonders as I barely slept but then I remembered I also ate 3 Paya gummies the night before. I still really fucking love that stuff (code Juliana15 if you want to try here). Ultimately I think it’s too soon to have a real opinion on Rhode but it’s been a nice palette cleanser for my skin. Below are selfies of my skin at day 4 and 7.
