Housekeeping:

Lately:

My dad’s cactus bloomed & it was beautiful.

This Barbara Hammer exhibition is gorgeous.

As you know, I’ve been having much fun making necklaces. (You can buy one here!)

Hilarious.

I made these earrings for myself. Pls enjoy.

Mood lately.

Well, consider me clocked.

Have I told y’all I have a new website?

Because I have a new website. Didn’t you hear?

I’m still in the process of sourcing products, but it’s basically going to be an online marketplace dedicated to showcasing a wide array of goods from our global community of artists & creatives.

Also:

Interested in sustainability, our catalog is made up of ethically-sourced—and mostly small-batch—goods. Many are handmade, and others are a curation of hand-picked vintage in an effort to limit landfill contributions & encourage sustainability.

I’m having a lot of fun—or at least I will, once someone buys something.

Anyways!

You can view it right here:

All Swarm Co.

Many of you know that I’ve been on a year-long journey toward finding sunscreens I can actually bear to wear daily. I can’t stand the heavy ~feel~ of a lot of them, and I absolutely refuse to go out in the world with a white cast, looking like a vampire.

For anyone in search of light, easy-to-apply sunscreens, I’ve been a long-time fan of Cerave’s Ultra-Light, *but* it only comes in SPF 30.

That said, my new favorite, slightly more protective, one is Supergoop’s SPF line. I’m wearing this today (SPF 50), which is really easy to apply on-the-go—and I just ordered the Unseen Sunscreen and the Glow Screen (SPF 40), too.
