I want to age gracefully. Eyes may roll as I’m not yet thirty, but I mean it. I want to look like myself in later years, albeit an older version, but still the most natural and best-looking rendition I can muster. Next to sunscreen, sleep, and my mom’s genes, though, what really can be done? […]
Mila couldn’t have matched the restaurant better if she’d tried. Clad in a white cap and trousers, a blue and white striped tee, and denim jacket paired with a vintage Chanel bag and colorful scarf, she arrived at nautical-inspired Bondi Sushi restaurant in NYC toting several bags filled with garments. She had just come from […]
From Berlin to Sydney, Mumbai to NYC, over 4 million people came out to strike against climate change on Friday. Demonstrators took to the streets in the primarily youth-led movement to protest against fossil fuels and demand net zero emissions by 2050. I was one of them as I participated in my first march ever. […]
I was pissed that I didn’t have a compost bin when I moved to Brooklyn. Plenty of my friend’s buildings came with a distinctly brown trash can meant for recycling organic matter but mine was curiously absent. Finally settling in Brooklyn was supposed to signify a change for me. It was supposed to be my […]

Consuming single use plastic is so heavily engrained in modern Western living that I thought, beyond purchasing re-suable water bottles, not much else could be done to stop it. Since starting a writing internship this summer, however, I’ve been exposed to […]
I was nervous heading to Mexico City at the beginning of May. I wasn’t afraid for my safety; Mexico City demands one be a well-informed, conscious traveler just like any other place. I wasn’t anxious I’d be lonely, either. In fact, I was looking forward to some solitary time on a new adventure. I was […]
I know how its sounds. Asking you to follow the ways of a man who lived 500 years ago in our modern era of social media and personal branding seems primitive and foolish. How can a mere 15 paintings attributed to Leonardo da Vinci circa 1500- something compare to the 5,838 posts of Kylie Jenner […]
I’m not really a fan of Andy Warhol’s art. I don’t say this because I’m an art snob (knowing so little about art absolves me of that luxury) but because it’s too everywhere to feel precious. When I saw his first retrospective in 31 years at the Whitney yesterday, I had a hard time reconciling the difference […]
