sam's digest — a weekly newsletter of my 3 favorite architectural gems on the market in los angeles, + raw life updates. issue 1. 01/19/24.

//    the mood & vibes this week 
 
— welcome to the redesign. last february, i launched our newsletter, and it's been through many iterations. og's will remember when we were on substack, and then i moved to flodesk in june. and now … we're shifting again. i wanted to pare things back, dial in the earthy simplicity, go lowercase to be consistent with how i speak on instagram. and honestly? make it more streamlined for me to send out weekly. i think it feels really yummy and delicious in this iteration, with 3 sections: life updates/random facts, the houses, and tours/objects/people i love. respond to this email or dm me with any feedback; i hope you like it.
— and, as for the mood? this month has been about hibernation. i've been relaxing in my hometown of marin with family, and i'm returning to LA on sunday.
— i was interviewed back in december for a piece about midcentury modern style by bed threads. it was just published; my first ever press feature! feeling proud ;).
— almost every day this month, i've taken a walk in the redwoods. on tuesday (my birthday!) i put on some taylor swift (yes, i am a swiftie), and just hiked in the misty rain. now that's what i call outdoor therapy.
— about every two months i get my nails done, and i always get the same color; malaga wine from opi. it's fire.
— reconnected with a childhood friend after years of distance. it was awkward & beautiful & beyond lovely. old friendships matter.
