issue #5 - the women you need to know
Have you been hit by the cold-that-won’t-go-away?
It’s a beast.
I’m finally on the mend, have a date at a crafts studio with Rho this weekend, and am looking forward to finishing this book.
And cooking. This week’s menu is this masala kitchadi, 3 bean salad, and buffalo chickpeas for melts. I'll be on IG Live for the usual #cookwithhitha circus on Sunday at 3 pm ET - hope to see you there!
Got a Valentine? Galantine? Want to treat yourself to a little something? Here are my picks:
Shiffon Co Duet Pinky Ring* ($90) - I wear mine every day, and I love that 50% of profits go to fund women-started businesses. Bonus - Michelle Obama wore hers on Jimmy Fallon, Serena Williams wore hers on the cover of Allure, and so many incredible women are a part of Shiffon’s #girlgang.
Wander Beauty Eyes On Me ($38) - the latest and greatest set from Wander Beauty. No matter how tired you (or your overworked friend) are, this kit will perk those eyes up fast.
Small Packages Miss You Box* ($35-100) - because you miss your BFF but don’t have time to put together and send an actual care package.
Beauty Bar Facial Massager ($12) and Naturopathica Kombucha Sheet Mask ($36) - this duo will leave any woman’s face glowing, mood lifted, and the self-care she needs.
MM.LaFleur Square Nesting Set* ($95) - for the woman flirting with Kondoing her life.
Unmarriagable ($18) - because she loves Pride & Prejudice and in desperate need of a vacation.
