here’s a salad for everyone who didn’t lock in over winter and now suddenly it’s officially summer. I’m normally not a big fan of cabbage, but this one works because it takes the nutrient dense vegetable and dresses it in that perfect balance of salt, fat, acid, sweetness, and umami.

I’ve also been incorporating tuna pâté into my dressings for that added umami and it’s been a balanced addition to my usual more acidic dressing.

toss together shredded cabbage, mint, cilantro, and cucumbers with dressing (recipe below). serve with shrimp (marinade below).

DRESSING

1 part avocado oil
1 part fish sauce
2 parts rice vinegar
juice of 1 lime
1 part tuna pâté (optional)
1 tsp honey
1 small shallot, finely minced
1–2 Thai chilies, finely sliced (adjust to heat preference)

MARINADE

1 part seasoning sauce 
1 part fish sauce
juice of 1 lime
pinch of salt
1 stalk lemongrass, finely ground
1 tsp brown sugar or honey
1–2 Thai chilies, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced

marinate shrimp for 15–20 minutes, then cook until lightly charred and serve over salad.

[AD ] last year I had the absolute honor of visiting Seoul for the first time with .us. it was a trip of a lifetime to witness the beautiful city but even more fascinating to dive into stories behind the products that have been maintaining my skin’s vitality for more than five years.

the brand is not just rooted in science, but what I’ve always loved most is the way Sulwhasoo honors tradition, intention, and care.. the latest product, First Care Activating Eye Serum, has become more than part of my routine, it’s become essential. here’s to adding it into the three rituals that guide our days, skin hydration, inner nourishment, and a healthy dose of brain dumping.

I had a friend say something to me recently: “you will start feeling like yourself again when you stop trying to keep up.” it came at a time when I didn’t realize how far I had drifted. not just from myself, but from my passion for creating.

I’ve been doing this for over a decade. in front of the camera, behind it, producing, directing. even when I felt burnt out, there was always a sense of direction. but this felt different. somewhere along the way, it became about doing more. keeping up with the pace, the technology, the expectations, the version of myself I thought I needed to become. and in trying to do all of it, I started to overthink everything. every frame, every choice, every decision. to the point where the overthinking didn’t make things better, it made me do nothing at all. I lost my instincts somewhere in that.

the part of me that used to just pick up a camera and trust what I saw. so I took that advice seriously. not in a dramatic way, but in a small, intentional shift. I simplified my tools and stepped outside with just my Samsung Ultra and let that be enough. no setup. no pressure to perfect. just noticing. and slowly, almost without realizing it, I started to come back. not by doing more, but by letting go of everything that made me feel like I had to.
