She’s also the creator of Good Stuff Newsletter, a kitchen freak, frequent road tripper, and dog mom. Alivia is, for lack of a better term, really good vibes. She just exudes a warmth that somehow translates to the internet (really difficult feat, btw) and she’s a master at aesthetically pleasing images… you’ll see.

Fine, I’ll open it up to pantry too. Let’s hear your favorite snacks / pantry staples: 

• Pantry staples: dried beans, tinned fish, sourdough pasta, Daphnis + Chloe Smoked Chili Flakes + Oregano, Maldon Sea Salt, sushi rice, Suzie’s Organic Saltines, tahini, loose leaf teas, lots of chocolate 

• Snacks: I’ve been making lots of ‘Lil Shits’ (don’t mind the name) — dates stuffed with chopped nuts + dipped in chocolate

  • hummus and veggies

  • Goat’s cheese + Suzie’s

A meal that’s on heavy rotation these days:

• Girl breakfast (7 min egg, sun dried tomatoes, any fresh fruit/veg with sourdough)

• Giant green salads with avocado, cucumber, herbs + soft goat

• Spicy anchovy pantry pasta with sourdough breadcrumbs

• Big fat sandwiches :)

jaw = dropped

1. this sandwich looks picturesque 2. this angle is fun because i feel like I’m remy the rat in her chef hat

Let’s go a little deeper… 

What’s the mantra you keep coming back to?

It’s not that deep

What products / practices are part of your regular mental wellness habits? 

Morning tea with my husband. No work talk allowed, just 30 or so minutes for the two of us to connect before the madness of the day begins.

And your physical?

• Sex all the time

• water with Trace Mineral Drops and lemon

• Kid Sister Stainless Steel Gua Sha 4x a week

not to be like bathroom goals but bathroom goals

What do you think is the most underrated part of wellness? 

Sleeping naked

…and overrated?

Taking 10000 supplements without getting bloodwork done to determine your deficiencies

Picture this: you wake up one morning and feel like shit. What’s your next move: 

Hot bath with epsom salts, migraine cap, some type of caffeine, laying in the sun, phone on DND

Give us your ride or die wellness products:

• Peppermint tea from Daphnis + Chloe cause I’m nauseous all the time

• Pearl from Moon Juice (I add it to my matchas)

• Bodha smokeless incense

• Lion’s Mane from Rainbo for brain fog

• beef liver capsules

• my Bink water bottle to keep me hydrated
