The book that changed my life…

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez. My boyfriend gave me a copy of this novel when we first started dating, and despite the morbid title, I loved the book, and I fell in love with the guy who gave it to me, too.

The morning and nighttime routines I swear by…

Morning:

Every morning, I have a cup of coffee and read The New York Times California Today newsletter, which strikes an a.m.-friendly balance between need-to-know news and fun reads.

Nighttime:

There's no better way to end the day than by reading a good book. I'm currently reading The Idiot by Elif Batuman, and I highly recommend it.

The Instagram handles I follow religiously are…

@dabito for décor ideas, @the_file for all things beauty, @mrdanielhan for travel inspiration, and @subwaybookreview for book recommendations.

This season, my go-to cocktail order is…

Anything with gin. Or a craft beer (ideally, a sour).

The most surprising thing I learned from a MyDomaine story is…

People who are happy at work asked these 6 questions in their interview.
