What is your fridge philosophy?
1 item off script only (when shopping for the fridge).
Your fridge is always always always stocked with ____.
Cornichon pickles, and a ridiculous amount of random drinks I get sent hehe.
Top 5 condiments, go.
Mayo, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, miso paste, ketchup.
Fine, I’ll open it up to pantry too. Let’s hear your favorite snacks / pantry staples:
I’m trying to train myself to like spicy food so I’ve been buying the Trader Joe’s Taki knockoffs, idk if it’s working.
I’m addicted to the Spudsy vegan cheese puffs (I’m lactose intolerant).
Not that they need any PR, but there’s always Chocolate Sea Salt RX Bars in there too because I never get enough protein.
A meal that’s on heavy rotation these days:
I’m a hyper-fixation meal girl. I got an ad for the Sweetgreen Italian Chopped salad the other day & decided, I could make that. It’s mixed greens, shaved brussels sprouts, roasted chicken, salami, cucumbers, shredded carrots, banana peppers, olives, pomegranate seeds, and balsamic dressing. I’ve had it for lunch the last 4 days.
*A note from the author: this was created prior to Sweetgreen’s menu changes. We pay our respects to the late Italian Chopped Salad — gone but never forgotten.*
Let’s go a little deeper…
What’s the mantra you keep coming back to?
The universe never says no; it says yes, not yet, or I have something better.
What products / practices are part of your regular mental wellness habits?
Working out first thing in the morning!! Vital for my mental wellness.
And your physical? Think beauty fitness etc
I started Parsley Health for my gut health last year, my doctor has changed my life. Literally everything is connected to the gut, it’s insane.
What do you think is the most underrated part of wellness?
Sleep!! I need a solid 9 hours to be my best.
…and overrated?
Following internet roundups instead of listening to your own body and just doing what feels good for you.
Picture this: you wake up one morning and feel like shit. What’s your next move:
Put on a swimsuit and head straight to the beach.
Give us your ride or die wellness products:
I did a glucose patch last year (before it became cool) and found out I have high morning cortisol. Adrenevive is my best friend now.
My metal gua sha
Tretinoin
One thing you do everyday that makes you the most YOU version of yourself:
Eat Haribo, look at pictures of chairs, and scroll Zillow for no reason 🙈
Whose taste inspires you?!
My mom!! She knows what she likes and it’s everything good.
Big thank you to Emma for showing us a little taste (sorry) of her life. You can find her incredible content on Instagram & TikTok, and her fridge favorites and more are here.
