We're Back! ☼ Diplo's Jungle Paradise ☼ A Perfect Mixtape
PLUS a new place worth spending time online
Dearest internet friends,
We’re back!
Sincere apologies for the recent disruption in our regularly scheduled programming. What started as a simple negotiation to acquire a small banana plantation off the coast of Portugal quickly escalated into a high-speed, weeks-long jet-ski pursuit by the Madeiran mafia. While I escaped in one piece, the banana plantation slipped through my fingers. Back to the drawing board.
Anyway, welcome to this week’s instalment of what’s hot in life & leisure!
With love ☼

☼ Take a step inside design duo Soft-Geometry’s San Francisco studio which looks like a lovely place to create lovely products. Dreaming daily of a physical Poolsuite HQ here in Portugal…

☼ I recently learned of this city in Africa with iconic architecture reminiscent of Italy in the 1940s: “An eccentric emblem of Modernist design”
☼ Evolution Music have created plant-based vinyl records which replace PVC with sugarcane bioplastics for completely compostable records
☼ Diplo’s Jamaican jungle paradise is about as wild as you might imagine…
☼ We’ve launched a bunch of new products at Vacation® (including our much-hyped Orange Gelée) plus you can now find us nationwide at both Target & Ulta!
☼ For the first time in my life, I’m feeling a deep desire to spend less time on a computer, with the recurring thought bouncing around in my brain: maybe it’s like a really really bad idea to squander 8 of my finite hours on planet earth every day sat staring into a screen? So I’m being very selective in where I spend my time online (goodbye Twitter). An example of a purposeful, thoughtful internet space that I feel great about spending my time is Sublime, the project of my wise friends Sari & Gabriel - here’s an intro to it and some things about life I’ve saved.
