If you are in or visit Vienna, don’t miss the Vienna Biennale for Change 2021, especially the exhibit at MAK, which was the best exhibition on the climate crisis I’ve seen so far. Open till October.
July favorites:
- Book: Let my people go surfing by the founder of Patagonia, which was an interesting read on sustainable business practices and Writers & Lovers, which was a great beach read
- Seasonal food: Peaches & blueberries
- Ethical brand: Now in Rio Swimwear (was gifted the Arponaro top and bottom and wore it nonstop on vacation)
- Drink: Iced herbal teas
- Summer smells: Barbecue smoke drifting through the neighborhood on a warm summer evening, lavender essential oil before sleeping, sea breezes bringing the smell of salty water
