These are some of the essential items that are keeping me healthy, happy and creative during this strange thing.
To be honest these are always in my life anyway


1. Shu Uemura skin purifier Anti/Oxi+ I’m in my 40’s so I make my skin health and routine a priority.
2. Bose player - Soundlink Revolve+ Music and podcast are on all the time. I bring this out to the garden with me.
3. Kaneko optical glasses. Beautiful handmade Japanese craftsmanship.
4. Qvar - Easi-Breathe 100 micrograms inhaler. I hate seasonal allergies.
5. Aesop - Rind Concentrate Body Balm - Orange Rind, Pink Grapefruit and Lemon Rind. Always on hand.
6. BBC Gardeners World - Geoff Hamilton’s Practical Gardening course. Gardening has been my wonderful distraction during these extraordinary times. This is my first year of starting our vegetable garden. I’m obsessed already.
7. Bodum - Caffetierra Coffee maker. I always start the day with a great cup of coffee.
8. Selection of vegetables seeds for planting in my garden. First step to a self sustainable life.
9. Champion + Todd Snyder sweat pants. I’m literally living in these.
10. Staub - 12 inch Cast iron skillet. I’m love cooking and this cast iron is great.
11. I Phone 8 Plus. For everything! (My husband hates that I’m never without it.)
12. Chop stick. My weapon of choice.
13. Heath ceramic. A little reminder of California life.
14. Kinto - Travel Tumbler 350ml Water Bottle Vacuum Thermal - Khaki. I mainly drink hot to warm water. It’s an Asian thing.
15. Apple TV controller. Lots of binge watching during this time.
