kindred spirit

have long loved a détacher designer mona kowalska and her life philosophy. from waiting on saturday:

My ideal weekend is 3 days long. One day of idleness: just the sofa, a book…I do think there are things happening in your brain during idle time. Another day should be taking care of your life: groceries, laundry…And the third day is going to museums, seeing art. When I work a five day week one of those days goes, but I’m a lazy person so it’s never the idle day [laughs].

Weekends are not work time for me. I’m a real morning person — I get up between 5:30and 6 whether I’ve been out the night before or not. I make coffee and read back in bed for an hour. Then I make breakfast: Quinoa, chia, blueberries and hemp milk. I’m not a cook. A friend came over to cook lunch and turned on the oven and I was like, “Did you just turn on the oven?! Because I’ve never done that.” [laughs]

Best hour of a Saturday? 5pm, Negroni time.
