erica’s things
Giving a standing O to the many black fashion designers who’ve never gotten their due—including Ann Lowe, creator of, among much other awesomeness, Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress.
Getting more protein from my pasta: Banza is where it’s at. (1 out of 1 gluten-eating husbands agree.)
Gasping at the genius of Spacious, a network of coworking spaces that makes 9-to-5 use of restaurants that only do dinner service.
Learning that, like Derek Zoolander, UPS trucks don’t turn left —and that that’s a good thing.
Snuggling up to all of the stuffed animals we encounter at trade shows and feeling especially warm ‘n fuzzy about these Cate & Levi ones, made from recycled wool sweaters.

Thinking Re.Bin is a much chicer way to manage recycling than my current solution of hanging a plastic bag from a door handle.
Exploring the (extremely legal!) possibilities of hemp-based CBD products as stress-relievers and migraine remedies, starting with chocolates.
Contemplating what to do with all the extra time that Overcast.fm is freeing up—it speeds up podcasts without subjecting you to the Alvin and the Chipmunks routine.
