A new (old) rug, one of only a few skincare items I swear by, how you can get custom advice from design pros, the history of homes and health, sustainable investing, a springtime dress, a movie screening to tune into this weekend, non-cheesy Valentine’s artwork, and standing up to discrimination by eating dumplings.

The things on my mind this week including the exit of 45 and the work yet to do, an earthy-hued renovation, a vaccine infodemiologist, enneagram pencils, how I’m managing my dust mite allergy, mutual aid, a podcast on waste, and more!

My favorite bathroom, a new art book, doctors and infectious disease researchers to follow on Instagram, an eclectic video home tour, housing concerns in 2020/2021, a rescued and restored couch, finding a “good death,” shifted perspectives on climate change resolution through farming, and my November playlist.

What to do with election yard signs, takeaways from using masking fluid, our updated alarm system, Halloween decor for next year, what I cooked from my compost scraps, how each state makes electricity, my tree print as a water bottle, US’s reliance on women, and please stay home.
