The BLUGH: November 15, 2023
“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
Ol’ Ziggy really got me with this one. I will be channeling this quote’s energy this week because I have both a job interview AND a comedy audition. Hoping my positive attitude shines through so that I may reach the highest of altitudes ⛰️ !
Speaking of positive attitude, there is SOMETHING in the air in NYC. Everyone has been nice lately. EVERYONE. I mean even the MTA employees. NOT COMPLAINING. ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT. BUT WOW. Kindness at every turn. A girl could get used to this!
🥃LEARNING OF THE WEEK: Mezcal is basically a health drink!!!! Jk, but apparently it IS one of the healthier options if you choose to imbibe!🥃
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION
Perfumes. There would need to be a 100-part series of BLUGHs for me to really unpack how I feel about different brands and scents and to divulge my favorite ones (there are many!!!). Long gone are the days where I had a single signature scent. I will spray many different perfumes throughout the day and night! That said, I do feel the need to share my latest obsession. I am ADDICTED to how this smells and I can’t get enough. It’s from the reliable brand, Jo Malone London, and is their Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne. It’s fruity but good. It’s seriously the first perfume that is fruity that I have smelled that isn’t Bath & Bodyworks-y. Disclaimer: NOTHING wrong with Bath & Bodyworks (they gave us Cucumber Melon!! (RIP)).

BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Is this the most well-written book I have ever read? No.
Does it contain stories and messages that I can relate to? No.
Does it teach me something? Do I grow as a result of reading this book? Not exactly??
That said, I have been absolutely glued to this book for the past couple of days and gobbled (Thanksgiving’s next week, y’all!!) it up. Julia Fox has done SO many things in her life and career-maybe a you from Uncut Gems? Anyway, she wrote a memoir, Down the Drain, and it is thrilling, engaging, surprising, captivating, and terrifying. I LOVED IT. My favorite quote from the book is, “I’m an artist in the role of a lifetime, playing Me.”
I’m obsessed.
I want to talk about it with you. Did you read it?
And I can’t emphasize this enough: Uncut Gems.

YOUTUBE (TO WATCH WHILE YOU EAT YOUR CUTE LITTLE BREAKFAST)
Thank you to AD for filling the void left by MTV Cribs. I just watched Orville Peck’s house tour and it was everything I hoped Orville Peck’s house tour would be. Do you have a favorite AD house tour video? Tell me so I can watch it!!

Summer 2023
Candid
Here is a picture that a goose took of me as I was flying into NYC over the summer. That view always gets me and I appreciate the goose capturing this moment.
