erica’s things

Getting sucked into Burning Love, a web series parody of The Bachelor with boatloads of familiar comic faces. Season 1 is airing on E! now, and season 2 is right here, for your internet-viewing pleasure.
Waking up to warm croissants, courtesy of the Trader Joe’s freezer aisle. Unreasonably good, you guys!
Wishing I could get a killer haircut for $14, like my BF does at the charmingly cheap Neighborhood Barbers in NYC’s East Village.
Upping my note-taking game with this Muji pen clip. Genius, just like their hand-cranked paper shredder and stickie message cards, next on the wish list.
Really vibing with a nude manicure—specifically just-pink Adore-a-Ball (the names!) from Essie and RGB’s whole line of skin-tone-matching tints.

Playing chef with this ridiculously easy spicy peanut kale salad—and doubling up on the dressing because it also makes the perfect at-home pad thai sauce.
Getting amped to see my buddy Ben Nabors's documentary film William and the Windmill premiere at SXSW—about a boy in Malawi who builds a windmill from junk parts to generate power for his family. I MEAN.
Wondering how long until a museum announces an exhibit of Instagram art, headlined by the likes of @dschwen and @mimiochun.
Thinking maybe if I could just get a photon shower installed in my apartment I might finally transform into a morning person.
Seriously feeling the selection at online vintage store Where I Was From.
