Heaven!!!! I love your writing so so so much. Every day I write in my notes app little things that have happened that day, jokes people said, what I wore etc. This is my materialization of memories and your writing reminds of of this and how important it is to do it. Please never stop. Feeling so inspired ♥️ big kiss from my grandpa’s house in sunny Croatia.

I’m a NY’er and half of my family has always been in Jersey. Nearly every summer has been spent on the shore and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for this poetic ode to the Atlantic.

I feel like I’ve bamboozled you all into thinking I can grill to the point I actually became someone who can grill #GirlsWhoGrill
