[...We don't talk about the soulmate found in a shower or in the retirement of old ideas,
or the food our tongue tastes
or how good it feels to breathe in new air,
everything considered
Reclusiveness is special and isn't exclusive to isolation,
but rather how you like your water temperature when you shower or what you tell yourself in the mirror when you're alone
Moving On, Courtesy Of, Cavalier, ilomilo, all songs I find soulmate in,
And since I can,
I want soulmate to be a verb.
Muses in this lifetime I'm so pleased to be aligned with,
Candles that tell me to breathe when I feel like I couldn't
My steering wheel is one of my favourite places to be,...]

Ep. 10: Manos De Amor with Tattooist Carlos Velasquez
There's an unspoken delicacy of non-verbal communication that travels through skin: Tattooing. In my rainy-shadowed living room sits Carlos Velasquez, my dearly admired tattooist and friend. In the short span of a year knowing each other, we've gone through over 16 tattoo moments (and counting), immersed conversations, spellbinding music and musings. Our conversations here today echo those in the rooms we've sat in, encompassing his journey to becoming a tattoo artist, the art of persistence, the allure of nowness and a lot of shared laugher. The beauty of the unknown makes everything ten times more exciting, and I'm happy to have Carlos here to explore that with you and I together.

20 People Share Their Greatest Joys Of 2020
From unraveling deep love to celebrating the uncluttered feeling of just breathing, 20 people share their greatest joys of 2020.
"Joy is easy, why does it have to be so hard?" - Vannessa Ju
For this special holiday episode, I asked for 20 people to come forward and share their greatest joy in 2020. What a feeling it is, to be so present by reminiscing on a moment, embracing prosperity, pleasure, complete and utter happiness that was embraced during this year, ever so existent in this very moment. What a feeling it is, to be present by being brought back...
So, dream. Dream for the dreams you think just transpire when you sleep. You're always awake.
Thank you for an incredible year of Extra Ice. Starting my podcast was one of the most fulfilling projects I've carried out in a very long time. It holds my essence and I hold it closer. For every whisper, every re-record, every "good morning, sweet world," I am fulfilled with season 1 and 2 as I look forward to birthing formidable episodes moving into the new year. Abundance, abundance, abundance...
I hope you find comfort in this episode just as deeply as I did in your own way... It'll enlighten you differently.
2021, can you hear me? I can hear, feel, smell, taste and touch you so profoundly...

Ep. 8: From Korea With Love: Beauty Shifts With Keelyn Young of @wwmebeauty
With an optimistic shift towards making a crucial change in the beauty industry, I sit with Keelyn Young of @wwmebeauty to discuss Western and Eastern beauty standards as a whole. From her own personal experience as a Black woman immersed in the beauty space with so much knowledge in K-beauty and Korean culture, I only hope that my conversation with Keelyn sparks internal dialogue within you to promote inclusivity beyond what you think you know to be. And hey, it sure did with me.

Ep. 7: Nostalgia Through Scent: Meet Melody Lim, Founder of Mala The Brand
Scents are nothing but a direct vessel to nostalgia, and what a feeling it is to be so present but be brought back all at the same time.

Ep. 5: A Tale Of Two Dolls featuring Sean Garrette
Just two dolls just bonding over their journey into the wonderland that is skincare that brought them together…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Welcome to season 2 of Extra Ice, coming in soothingly with my beautiful friend and licensed esthetician and skin therapist, Sean Garrette. Diving deeper beyond just skincare, I’m so grateful to have been able to connect with Sean online and yearning for the day we can hug in real life. From his early days as a makeup artist, styling a Beyoncé music video to flowing through life under 30 writing a memoir (or two), the doll shares his magic with you and I, and goodness… I’m here for what is and I can’t wait for what’s to come for him.
