Meg Wachter, a Brooklyn-based photographer, cycling activist, and all-around Renaissance woman is the kind of person who gets stuff done. In my experience, this kind of person is a rare breed. It’s all too common for someone to have good ideas and to pass them around or sit on them, never letting them come fully to […]
Of all the seasonal playlists I put together every year, my autumn mix is always my favorite. The days are short as the earth is retreating back into herself. The mind, heart and body are inhaling, reserving their strength for the long winter ahead. October invites the comfortable and the strange, a contrast and tension […]
More than most, I’m prone to infections, colds, and the flu. When the seasons really begin to shift, I start supplementing my diet with herbal teas and syrups to boost my immune system. My go-to medicines include elderberry syrup and fire cider as a preventative, and a tea of mullein, linden leaf, chamomile and peppermint for strengthening the throat and lungs […]

Lots of love and sunshine to you on the longest day of the year. More soon. xo Listen to the full Summer 2014 playlist on Spotify or 8tracks. Explore past […]
I wasn’t planning on writing another post before I leave for Mexico, but this soup came out so well, and its ingredients are so fleeting, that it would be shameful not to share it. It was inspired by a cup of spinach, parsley, lemon soup with sour cream that I tasted at Soup’s On, my […]
In less than a week, I’m headed to Oaxaca (wuh-HA-kah). I have wanted to visit Oaxaca since I was about 17 years old, a city and region of southern Mexico famed for its crafts – pottery, weaving, and textiles, primarily – and its food. (Oaxaca is known affectionately as the Land of the Seven Moles for a […]
