Issue #30 • Can I Live Vicariously Through You? 🍸

Why I've chosen not to drink while pregnant + two cocktail recipes for you to try so I can feel the second-hand fun.

Emil and I are back in the Bay Area for our first baby shower tomorrow, so this is a short one because we have a ton to do and I’m prioritizing spending quality time with family.

Cherishing goofy moments with my nephew and niece. :)

I’ll be honest, I had intended on writing a full newsletter on why I’ve chosen not to drink at all since learning about my pregnancy, but because there’s so many studies and articles from what I consider to be credible sources that support polarizing perspectives, I find the topic quite exhausting. In my attempts to dive deeper into the research this past week, I went down endless wormholes and found myself drowning in the various perspectives rather than coming to a science-backed conclusion that I could stand firmly behind. So I come to you today a bit defeated by it all.
