      <image:title>explore - Meet Mara Novembre, The Designer Behind Allure Novembre, and Her New Drop: Gold Rush - Oh, who is Mara Novembre? Mara is the type of person to launch a kickass retail collection in just a few weeks when she’s stuck at home during a global pandemic. She is the type of person who decides one week before that drop to livestream a launch party for the anticipated collection with a small gathering of her closest friends. Mara’s the type of person to hit a tiny roadblock with her original event venue and turn that small gathering into a chic-ass dinner party at an apartment-turned-restaurant-for-Covid-reasons run by her close friend “Chef John.” She’s the type of QUEEN we all want to be, one who Facetimes her florist, who she is also tight with, for advice on how to make her own centerpieces. Mara is the type of gal who has friends flying in from Miami and driving from Maryland to support the much awaited launch of her jaw-dropping GOLD RUSH. People in Mara’s life show up because they have complete and boundless faith in Mara.</image:title>

      <image:title>explore - Meet Brenna Miles, The Singer-Songwriter Behind B.Miles, and Her Upcoming Drop: &lt;em&gt;In Order of Appearance&lt;/em&gt; - Brenna Miles is the heart (and lovely face) of the hypnotic New York-based music project, B.Miles. And she’s more than just an ethereal, yet salty voice—Brenna is an insanely talented songwriter, presence on any stage (including Bowery Ballroom, um hi!), and new mama to a lovable pitbull—among many other hustles. Originally from Pasadena, California, Brenna’s melodies exude sultry coastal vibes. B.Miles puts out the type of music that you, quite frankly, want to listen to… all the time. They are perfect for a day at the beach, have the ability to soothe any stormy day, and are ideal for when you’re stuck working from home. There really is no way to describe their sound—it’s unique, yet comforting. Funky, yet relaxing. It crosses over from the East Coast to the West Coast, and then back again.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Brain Break team couldn’t wait to learn more about Brenna Miles, a true role model to all women who shoot for them STARS, baby. When life resumes, let’s all catch a show together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SAVE: The Rib Beanie from GAP</image:title>
      <image:caption>Come through, pop of color!! My best friend swears by this beanie - in fact she never takes it off and has gifted it to many people. There are a bunch of different colors, and it’s a great price-point, so why not try something a little funky—and cozy. This hat is super stretchy. Great for small heads and big heads alike.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SPLURGE: The Heavyweight Recycled Cotton Hoodie by Pangaia</image:title>
      <image:caption>This hoodie is freakin’ delicious. The colors are so vivid that they can bring color to the skin of even the most socially distant homebody. Grab the matching sweatpants if you’re feeling riche$. And if your brother is anything like mine, and instead chooses to wear the same two short-sleeve t-shirts (even in the dead of winter), this will be a great closet swipe for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SPLURGE: The Ace Fanny Pack by Dagne Dover</image:title>
      <image:caption>Last Christmas my sister and I (both?) got the Dagne Dover Dakota Neoprene Backpack and we could not be more obsessed with this brand. And since the Category-Still-Is: Cozy, switch up your normal crossbody choice from Zara and go for the bag that’s perfect for mid-day walks and quick trips around Trader Joe’s.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SPLURGE: The “I heart New York” Sweater by Lingua Franca</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oh, you thought I was playing with the Splurge options? JK - this is BY FAR the most expensive item that will appear on this list. But these sweaters are fan-fucking-tastic quality and sentimental for New Yorkers. Window shopping at the Lingua Franca Bleecker Street storefront is my favorite Sunday pastime. ALSO - 20% of the proceeds for this sweater go toward ROAR NY, which provides financial aid for NYC restaurant workers. Ghost town, who, honey?</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SAVE: The Multi-Color Braided Ombre Rope Leash by SierOutfitters on Etsy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Um, wishing I did a bit more research before splurging on my WagWear rope leash right about now!? These rope leashes from Etsy have great reviews and come in a variety of ombré colors - so you can choose whichever color matches your fur baby best. Shop small, baby!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Category is: Walk-Around-The-Block-With-The-Dogs-Cozy. If you’re trying to re-brand your dad, a fashion-boy brand like Acne Studios will slay every time. They also have a beanie style for people with big heads. Half of my family has the curse of the small head, while half of us have big heads. You know your brand. I certainly know my dad’s.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SAVE: The Fanny Pack by BAGGU</image:title>
      <image:caption>THIS. IS. A. BAGGU. STAN. BLOG. While you’ve probably seen a chic kwain with the classic and sustainable Standard BAGGU reusable bag at your local farmers market (@Leah Orlando, is that you?), BAGGU also has a ton of other designs, from gigantic carryall totes to crossbody bags. This belt bag/fanny pack is effortless perfection - a great choice for people who look bomb without trying. JFYI it also comes in cheetah print.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SAVE: The New York Woman Sweatshirt from Social Goods</image:title>
      <image:caption>Full disclosure: I have been LIVING in this sweatshirt all Fall. I’m actually from Jersey, but I feel like if you’ve resided in New York through the pandemic, you’ve been upgraded to full New Yorker status. If you’re not familiar with Social Goods yet, you’re going to love. A portion of the proceeds of every purchase goes toward a mission-driven nonprofit that matches the message from the item. Proceeds from purchasing this NY Woman sweatshirt go to Planned Parenthood. My mom’s obsessed with Planned Parenthood. Checks out.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SAVE: The Vintage Soft Hoodie from GAP</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let’s be honest, this will probably be the hoodie I order for my brother this year - considering the Adidas NMDs I splurged on for him last year have yet to be worn. I’m salty. Guys look great in color, but they probably would never buy a bright hue like this themselves, so take it on yourself to spice up your bro’s wardrobe. And again, if he sticks to his washed out tees, you’ll know exactly where to find your next sporty fit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide (FAM EDITION) - SPLURGE: The Catskills Indigo Tie-Dye Leash from WagWear</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was the first leash I ever used with Franklin (THE Silky Hotdog) and I absolutely loved it. It’s super durable, but also chic for city living. I got compliments on this baby daily. Really everything from the WagWear website has impeccable quality. I’ve heard this carrier is ze créme de la créme.</image:caption>

      <image:title>explore - Meet Aubre Winters, Our Dream Fitness Instructor, and her Sweat Sessions - We are huuuuge Aubre Winters stans here at Brain Break, so you can imagine our excitement at the chance to chat with this inspiring woman! At the beginning of the pandemic, deep in the workout phase, I downloaded a workout app called FitOn. Aubre is one of the instructors I randomly came across and I loved her workouts so much, I just started searching for her videos on the app. This eventually evolved into me tuning into her Instagram lives daily. And now I’m super excited to announce that this Chicago-based instructor’s virtual fitness studio is officially up-and-running! Aubre brings us the very best, most inspiring and uplifting HIIT, barre (&amp; more) workouts with Sweat Sessions! You can sign up for these sessions - which will surely leave you with a smile on your face - by class or choose a monthly or annual membership (us, obvi).</image:title>

      <image:title>explore - Meet Kira West of MadeByKwest (&amp;amp; Our New Fave Gold Chain) - Kira West is creating with a purpose; she combines her artistic vision and her passion for activism. Kira’s latest project, a jewelry company called Made ByKwest, was constructed in the midst of the Pandemic. That’s right, while we were all whipping instant coffee and *trying* to bake the perfect sourdough, Kira put her love of travel and wellness into designing different world collections. Currently, the African Collection is available on her site and keep your eyes peeled for the other six continent collections that she’ll be releasing. Each of Kira’s collections give back to nonprofits, such as Girls Going Global and African Entrepreneur Collective. In addition to designing jewelry, Kira is the co-creator of ACTIV-ISM - an anti-racism wellness program - and launched a website called Biz Recs, connecting you to other mission based small businesses.</image:title>

      <image:title>about - the new normal</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hey babes! My name is Liz and I, like you, am navigating this period of isolation day-by-day. I created this website with the hope that you would come here for a brain break. In no way does that mean that you should come here to be mindless; in fact, I’m aiming for the exact opposite. I hope to pry your minds away from work for a bit, and help you focus on something, anything, else—from a thought provoking article, to my favorite Instagram workouts. While there is no right answer for how to handle everything going on in the world right now, and everyone handles stressful times differently (which is so special!), I thought it may be helpful for some if I compiled things that have helped me (try to) thrive in our new normal. More than anything, I hope you learn something about yourself, and the world, from my site. Happy reading. Liz</image:caption>
