Eats & Treats: One of my 2019 resolutions: healthy lunches. I have a Daily Harvest subscription and it’s working out well so far. (Curious? If you join DH before 1/31 using the referral code RE-B2AV9ML, you’ll get three free cups as an intro. I’ll get three free cups too! Just want to be clear about that, since I never do affiliate links.)
Drink: Coffee made with beans from The Sensuous Bean. Also, coffee-almond smoothies from Daily Harvest…see above. 😉

I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on Perfume after you’ve finished watching it. I started reading the Suskind book after finishing the show. I’ve been meaning to read it for years and am loving it.

I’ve read the Suskind novel and then re-read it and still loved it! I might need to read it yet again after watching this show. Only halfway through right now…my goodness, it’s NOT suitable for everyone…but I like the thriller aspects of it and the weird “Secret History” vibe of the teens’ friendship.

Oh yeah, totally a Secret History friend group vibe. Another amazing book. Luckily I have a high tolerance, though the show is very explicit and dark, definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.
