Everything Kristina is loving right now! ![]()
Hi, I'm Kristina!
I'm the newsletter editor here at BuzzFeed (and also happen to be the person who compiles this newsletter every week!). I came to BuzzFeed after a career in food media, so needless to say, most of the articles I've written here are recipe roundups. When I'm not perusing Pinterest recipes, I'm cooking, and when I'm not cooking, I'm sippin' on vermouth and natural wine, like the good Brooklyn-dwelling girl I am.

I'm originally from Minnesota, and anyone who knows me will tell you it's a big part of my persona — I'm a big fan of the Minnesota Twins, love snowsports, and have been known to wax poetic about my Scandinavian roots. Aside from that, I'm really into interior design, skincare, style, video games, and ~*the occult*~. In fact, I run a weekly newsletter called All In The Cards, where I send out weekly horoscopes using my tarot deck. Would love to see you over there too.
Hope you enjoy my picks!

My skin has always been a struggle — it can be really hard to find a balance of products that take care of my acne and don't totally dry me out. Leo Oil has been a saving grace. It's made by Dena Smith (a.k.a. @leowithcancer on IG) a woman living with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, and packaged up with so much love from her home in L.A. My skin loves the healing, hydrating, and anti-fungal properties of blue tansy, the main ingredient in this oil. And I love Dena and her outlook on life just as much!
I'm a sucker for sauces and spices, and Fly By Jing has soared to the top of my pantry must-haves. Founded by Jing Gao, Fly By Jing is inspired by the flavors of her hometown of Chengdu, China. If you love Sichuan food (or any heat to your food *period*), you'll love this lineup. Pictured above is the Mala Spice Mix, a savory-spicy powder that is truly good on everything from beef bowls to roasted cashews. My other favorites are the Zhong Sauce (great for marinading and dipping) and the Sichuan Chili Crisp (also good on everything, even ice cream). Go ahead and just buy the trio.
Fun fact about me: I collect green glassware! So for my birthday this year, my friends got me these matching cuties from Hay. I love the form of this simple-yet-stunning jug, and the tiny tumblers are perfect for sipping whiskey or tequila while I binge Love Island.
I love infusing my wardrobe with new clothes as much as the next person, but in 2019, I made a vow to shop more sustainably / ethically. Enter Nuuly, a well-priced clothing rental service with lots of fun brands, from Lisa Says Gah to AGolde to Urban Outfitters. Each month, you get your choice of 6 items sent to you in a reusable nylon container — get your kicks, then put them back in the container and return it. I've used the service off-and-on for over a year now (you can skip months!), and in the pandemic, it's been a nice way to swap in fun sweaters to make me feel like a human again, like this comfy-cozy sweater pictured above.
