For the most interesting woman in the room; designed to bring more depth, intention, and luxury into your week

Sentiment of the week: “She had written something that felt like I could have written it, except I knew I couldn't have. I wouldn't have come up with something like that. Which is what we all want from art, isn’t it? When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It’s like they are introducing you to a part of yourself.” ― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: The choice to look put together as you approach the inspiring abyss of your closet, making the decisions that the future you will reap, this clutch, watching sunsets dance their dance over the horizon, writing wishlists in the pursuit of conscious consuming instead of impulse buying, hotel lobbies that transport you, setting a higher standard for the smaller moments of your daily life, adding these hand weights to your pilates workouts, deepening into your surrender practice, giving the manicures a rest and your nails a deep breath if only for a few weeks, tangerines, this gentle exfoliant, slowing down to speed up, revisiting this book to diminish a creative rut, the hug of a loved one.

What we are consuming this week:

Brand of the week: Curio — for those who honor the smaller tools that make our home life move and flow and shine. When no item is too small to be wrapped in impeccable taste, we turn to the brushes, the soaps, the sponges of Curio that feel more like a collector’s item than an everyday homegood. Both iconic and romantic, Curio’s collection allows you to elevate the corners of your life that you didn’t think deserved elevation; a practice in worthiness, a practice in adornment, a practice in committing to the beautification of all things in and around our spaces. We are starting here: The Romantic Hand Soap Dispenser Set, The Iconic Brush Set, The Iconic Dish Sponge.

Spiritual insight of the week: “You are not in the world; the world is in you. Your body, your mind, and the universe are projections of your deeper self. Everything you experience as ‘out there’ is happening within your own awareness. This means the boundaries you perceive between yourself and the world are illusory. The atoms of your body, the thoughts in your mind, the stars in the sky - all are expressions of the same infinite consciousness. When you recognize this, you stop seeing yourself as a separate fragment in a chaotic universe. Instead, you begin to see yourself as the creator of your reality. Every thought, every choice, every intention isa. ripple that spreads through the infinite field of possibilities, shaping the universe moment by moment. Living from this awareness, you no longer need to struggle to control the world around you. The experience of being alive becomes effortless, joyful, and free. You realize that you are both the observer and the observed, the creator and the creation, the knower and the known. You are the infinite power of existence itself, expressing itself as a unique, magnificent individual. When you align with this truth, you align with the very fabric of existence. Life begins to flow with grace, synchronicity, and meaning, because the infinite potential of the universe is no longer separate from you - it is you.” - You Are the Universe by Deepak Chopra and Menas Kafatos

Ritual to implement: Keeping a physical planner instead of solely relying on technology to organize and move our tasks along. The art of physically crossing a task off your to-do list with a pen on paper. The tangibleness of it. Your life planning, void of screens.

Place to daydream about: Chateau Voltaire in Paris. The hotel you think of when you are looking for an intimate, Parisian Chateau that feels like the neighborhood apartment building you want to live in. Deep sighs because someone needs to get us to Paris.

Reordering this week: The Hand Retinol by Nécessaire

Home of the week: The Brooklyn townhome of supermodel Paloma Elsesser that evokes old and new with rich and deep textures, colors, and patterns. Designed by Gregory Rockwell Interiors. Photographed by Frank Frances. Featured in Architectural Digest.

Nostalgic for: Standing in lines without phones, without anything to distract us; left just with our thoughts.

Question to ask at the dinner table: What would you admit if you couldn’t be judged?

Question to ask yourself this week: How can I breathe more acceptance into the areas of my life that I am resisting the truth of?

Have a beautiful week. Until next Sunday.

Sincerely,

The REVUE Team

In honor of David Lynch, 1946-2025
