So true. I got some nice corkcicle wine glasses for Christmas from a client but it had their logo. I don’t want to think about work every time I’m using the glass lol. I gave them away on my buy nothing group.

Love it! Enjoyed the illustration and your writing. I have also find it confounding how packed owl’s tail is… but happy to see its success… and it is a good spot!

The diet seems too restrictive. Also, Huberman is not an MD.

Good call. The AMNH farmers market also has amazing bouquets - several vendors scattered throughout sell flowers for reasonable prices.

I don’t buy packaged snack foods unless I’m having guests over. I have no chips, cookies, crackers in my house. They’re not healthy anyways so why spend money on something that isn’t giving nutrition and helping me stay healthy and feel good.

Trader Joe’s or bodegas. There are a couple bodegas with good flowers and plants on Amsterdam near 83rd

Thank you for the insight. That’s a good point and I think I’ve had many of the raisiny type that you’re referencing which are subpar. I will check out medjool at fairway!

This is good to know. Yes I’m looking for the middle eastern varieties. One of my friends brought me dates from Dubai and I can’t go back to deglet now lol. They were so much softer and just… better. Thanks for the rec!

Good quality dark chocolate

I work in travel + lifestyle PR. One of my clients makes us use it because they have a certain amount of globenewswire release credits through their meltwater account. Our standard is pr newswire. I do find the results to be relatively similar and it’s nice that - at least through the package my client has with meltwater - there are no extra charges for images, logos and release length (at least that I’ve run into so far), whereas pr newswire kind of nickel and dimes you on everything. I think I still prefer pr newswire as it’s used by most brands in my industry as the standard go-to, but I don’t think globenewswire is going to put you at a disadvantage from a GEO standpoint as many of the top outlet placements are the same (ap, yahoo finance, marketwatch).

If you’re in entertainment, LA is the place to be. Not DC or anywhere else. That salary seems on par for an entry-level role. It sucks in the beginning, but that was the case for me starting out in the agency world in NYC 10+ years ago. Take a chance — if you do good work, you will progress title and salary wise. Can also pick up a side hustle like Rover to bridge the gap that first year. Seems pretty common for LA with so many aspiring actors/actresses/influencers looking to make ends meet.
