What Novelist Bryan Washington Can’t Live Without

Rigby’s is based in Houston; they make dishware and silverware. The breakfast bowl set is lovely and not terribly expensive for the quality you’re getting. I eat a good chunk of my home-cooked meals out of bowls, whether it’sbreakfast, lunch, or dinner, so having beautiful bowls to eat from has been really nice. With a bowl you have depth, you know exactly where to top off. You can also eat on the sofa, sit at the table, at the counter, whatever.

It’s amug, but it’s a beautiful mug. I just like looking at it. It’s a beautiful thing to have in your home, and Pearl River Mart itself is a really lovely place, so to get to have something from it in my home is nice. I’ve been drinking most of mycoffeeandteaout of it.

There was a version of this that was released prior to this one. I used the older one for about a year and a half and now I use this newer one just about every evening. There has been a notable difference in how my skin feels and in theglowthat it has. A bottle lasts for quite a long time, so it’s pretty cost efficient.

It’s a large battery as far as vape pens are concerned. I’m a bit notorious for losing vape pen batteries and the Ooze one is one that I have not lost yet. You can get a bunch of different colors; I have one that’s gold and one that’s blue. In the past, when we would travel and go places, I would buy these tiny vape pens and I would always lose them. That hasn’t happened with these yet. Partly, probably, because we’re not going anywhere.

I’m a bigstationeryperson. I like to write everything down. This is what its name says: Just a really beautifulnotebooksaddle stitched with red string. It’s bound really tight and has red lines. It’s pretty portable, too — I can take it most anywhere.

I’ve been trying to save money lately but these were a pandemic splurge: I got three pairs for myself — a mint-green one, a blue one, and a pink one — and they’re my go-to gift. They’re just really comfortable and wearable; a really, really goodhouse shoe. They’re pretty affordable, too. I’m someone who puts lots of things in an Etsy shopping cart without actually buying them. These are one thing that I actually bought and liked so much that I keep buying them for myself and other people.

If I add it to something, it instantly tastes better. I can have a plain bowl of rice with an egg on it, add thechilisauce, and suddenly it’s delicious. I can stir fry some noodles, add a little bit of chili sauce, and suddenly they’re delicious. I can make a grilled cheese, dip it in some chili sauce, and suddenly it’s delicious.
