    I’m watching this while working on my computer. I needed a bit of Paris. I recently read the Eve Babitz and LOVED the atmosphere, the dip back into the glorious 60s, 70s in LA.

    Always love a new video from you. I really need to get my hands on This Is Not Miami. Sounds amazing. Can’t wait for your final thoughts on Eileen.

    For me half of Melchor's stories felt unfinished in the first half of the book. I found the story about her own obsession with aliens intriguing and it felt like she could've gone deeper but just finished it in a very lazy way.

      I swear by the La Roche Posay HyaluB5 serum & I recently started using the Caudalie VinoSun sunscreen and it gives an amaaaaazing glow.
