Welcome!

I wanted to share my beauty finds, recipes and stray thoughts about the books I’m reading. It’s been almost a full year of the pandemic, I’m craving connection and conversation. Aren’t you? I’m a magazine editor and writer by day (and you can checkout some of what I really do here). You can contact me at thessalylaforce.net.

Freelance writer and lapsed magazine editor. I'm a mother of two, a frequent contributor to The New York Times. I'm working on a novel. Here, an attempt to think on the page about ideas, culture, life, motherhood, and whatever else, honestly.
