This fall, the one thing I absolutely, positively cannot live without is... "The hot cocoa at Craftsman and Wolves. I just wish the mug was three times as large."

Next up on my Netflix is... "The fourth season of Breaking Bad! My husband and I are so obsessed. Don't tell me what happens!"

Latest guilty pleasure... "Being totally geeky and having Scattergories game night with my girlfriends. It was a childhood favorite and my fellow editor Angela, our writer Joanna, and our photographer Molly recently rediscovered it while on a Sonoma getaway/work trip together. Now, we're obsessed."

The one song I can listen to over and over...and over to is... "'Blue Christmas' by Elvis. I know it's weird, but I can listen to Christmas tunes twelve months out of the year, which is a quirk I definitely got from my mama."

The latest trick I've picked up from the other R29 editors is... "It's not so much of a trick, but several of the editors in New York are huge nail-art freaks, so I've definitely stepped up my fancy-digit game, as well."

My must-have cheap thrill... "The day-old cookies at Hot Cookie in the Castro. Three for $2.50! Such a steal."
