NEW! The Monthly Memo
A new monthly post series and some updates!
I’m excited to be introducing a new monthly post here on Substack - The Monthly Memo. It will go out once a month to ALL subscribers. This will be a round-up style list of 22 things I’m digging that month. From my favorite new skincare item to what podcasts I’m listening to to events I’m attending or wish I were attending to my favorite vacation rentals and current favorite taco spots, etc., etc.. If you’re around from the old Wu Haus blog days, this is kind of like The Friday List that I ran for a while. And in an effort to share more free content on Substack, I’ll be sharing the first half of the list with unpaid subscribers while paid subscribers will also get the second half of the list PLUS an extra each week (ie: a more personal checkin/update from me, a recipe, a playlist…).
I’ve also dropped the annual subscription cost from $80 to $65! Broken down, that’s $5.41 a month. Like buying me a matcha (well, like a very small matcha these days lol). This is hopefully an incentive to sign up for the full year subscription and enjoy what I have to share all year long! The monthly subscription cost remains at $8. Paid subscribers will enjoy the longer format of The Monthly Memo as well as 2 more pieces of content each month.
You’ll also notice the homepage of the Wu Haus Substack looks a little different. It’s mostly the same, but the main point I wanted to call out is the navigation bar at the top of the page. There are now links to all the Travel Guides, the Ask Alison Anything series and all Recipes.
With all that said, welcome to The Monthly Memo!
Here’s this month’s memo with 22 things I’m loving. And the extra this month for paid subscribers is a recipe for my absolute favorite tahini yogurt sauce that I’ve been making in large batches and literally pouring on everything. It’s especially a favorite on roasted cauliflower and these turkey zucchini meatballs I’ve been making.
Already planning all the spots I need to hit when I’m in NYC next month, and this bakery is high on the list!
I love this podcast, and I love Fariha Róisín, so together they are perfection. This is a beautiful conversation about learning to listen to our bodies and how our bodies guide us to where we need.
Icymi, I started microdosing psilocybin a couple months ago, and it’s been a game changer. This is the company I’m doing the protocol through. They ship worldwide.
My favorite bag brand, Mandrn, just launched this stunning versatile bag. It goes from tote to backpack, and you can wear with the woven side or the smooth side showing. ALISON15 for 15% off.
My dearest, April Valencia of Masa Memory, is hosting a bake sale to benefit a family in Gaza in LA beginning of August. Bake, donate, and please go to buy all the yummy treats because I cannot!
In case you missed it, the kittens and I are featured on The Pineapple Collaborative’s The Pantry this month. Sharing all my favorite kitchen items and more!
I love this quote about motherhood from Stella McCartney. Her interview in one of my favorite publications, Atmos, this month.
Mate the Label just launched their dress shop, and I’ll be living in this one all summer long. Mate is my go-to for sustainable everyday pieces.
Absolutely breathtaking paintings by Zahra Holm at JO-HS Gallery in Mexico City. My boyfriend and I went to see the show, and I really wanted every piece in my apartment.
I have an obsession with cult documentaries. Anyone else? This one did not disappoint.
My talented bestie, Prashant, built another stunning home for rent outside San Miguel de Allende. And if you ask me, this one’s even better than the first.
