Lights, Drama
I love lit tapered candles ($48–$
for eight; food52.com) for intimate
dinner parties. Beehive Alchemy’s
come in elegant hues and cast a vibe-y
glow that looks way more special
than what you’d get from a tealight.
If You Like Tahini...
...you need this incredibly aromatic
sesame paste by Wadaman
($28 for 8.8 oz.; toirokitchen.com),
made from seeds that are expertly
roasted by Osakan Jedi masters. It’s
insane when spread on toast and
topped with honey and flaky sea salt.
Home – We’re Into It
Fueled by Dates
These are the world’s best dates
($18 for 2 lb.; ranchomeladuco.com).
They’re plump and have a natural
caramelized flavor. I split them in
half and fill them with almond butter
for a preworkout snack.
Actually Cute Cycling Gear
Editor at large Andrew Knowlton
turned me onto Team Dream,
whose spunky biking sock designs
pop with color! (Heather Supreme
socks in orange, $20; Tonal Dip
socks in cardinal and sunshine, $15;
teamdreambicyclingteam.com).
Fermentation Meets Fashion
Every few months I invite friends
over to make kimchi. This crock
($175; sarahkersten.com), specially
designed to yield the crunchiest ’chi,
is so attractive it sits on my kitchen
counter even when I’m not using it.
Kimchi Crocks and Neon Socks
Chic cycling gear (it’s a thing) and more goods that
associate editor Christina Chaey is loving this month

For My Inner Skin-Care Geek
I’m obsessed with my cult-y Japanese
Kamenoko brush, which I use
for scrubbing veg and washing dishes.
When I discovered they also make a
body exfoliating brush ($16; eastfork
.com), obviously I had to get it.
