I love the simplicity of this ring by Michele Sky Jewelry. I always feel a bit more powerful when I wear it.
This giant brass Tiffin carrier was used by my mom’s family to carry a big family lunch during long train journeys back when she was a kid in India.
My most precious aromatic ingredient. My parents bought this bottle of Mysore sandalwood essential oil in India about three decades ago. Sandalwood of this quality is no longer available, and it improves with age.
My product line grew out of my own needs, and I make everything I use in my daily self-care. My clay shampoo and face cream are indispensable.
I’m happier when I keep a journal. This one is marbled and bound by Baltimore’s own Kelly Laughlin.
I love serving little bites of food off beautiful handmade plates. This piece was made by my aunt, an artist in Australia.
I collect bits of nature. This sheet of turtle shell washed ashore, and it’s from the shell of a sea turtle. I love the patterns.
My single most important business tool is my lab scale and the product of a dumpster dive by my engineer dad. It goes down to 0.01 grams and up to 7 kg and lets me scale up the tiniest batches of product with precision.
Chocolate every day. These frozen Better Together brownies are amazing for daily munching, and I love Potomac Chocolate for thoughtful tasting.
I’m partial to spirits that taste of the plants they come from. This Tepextate mezcal is possibly my favorite.
