How did you spend your spare time this month:
AA: eating, hanging, not reading, not cooking, being with people, meals with friends
MM: celebrating my birthday for weeks and weeks, flowers!, loving on my peeps
Best/Worst:
Best MM: my immersion blender is having a moment (read: she is bringing me iced matcha at home, whipped cottage cheese, caesar dressing), walking around the Tidal Basin with my mom ~wholesome~
Best AA: Night of 1000 Alex’s / the apple coffee cake from Kingston Bread + Bar
Worst MM: Buffalo & Bergen (honorable mention to the Panera Supercharged Lemonade which we were actually prohibited from purchasing by a Panera manager herself).
Worst AA: the opener for Betty Who - Slayyyyyyyyter / mass events in DC like the kite festival
Spare Time Recs:
AA: Girl & The Vine - ps nobody let me into a buy nothing group
MM: Poems to prep for National Poetry Month (April!) Pick up a new collection (Chrome Valley by Mahogany L. Browne, A Working Life by Eileen Myles, God Themselves by Jae Nichelle), follow @poetryisnotaluxury and @omiamifestival on IG, listen to The Slowdown
Culture / 3 Things You Need to Know:
Sweet Enough is here–what do we think?
How Do You Read So Much - or, musings on Spare Time
Look Ahead:
AA: my knitting class starts next month! Outside time, back into the reading groove and waking up early groove
MM: it’s time to move to Miami for a month—bye!
