If I can’t travel the world, I’ll bring the world right to me — that’s the motto I’ve held onto during this whole pandemic to keep me sane! I have cooked my way around the world in my kitchen perfecting some of my favorite things I love to eat! Italy (homemade pasta of all sorts!) France (crepes!), and Israel (shakshuka!)

I mean a beautiful aroma can completely transport you.
And Brooklyn Candle Studio just makes the best candles to transport you to your favorite places while sitting on your sofa relaxing or having a hectic work day.

I finally had the time + desire to learn new hobbies, make new recipes, rediscover things I hadn’t even thought about in ages! I loved the quiet - I loved the silence ...
