  • a few of my favorite podcasts part 1

    I started listening to podcasts a few years ago, mostly old episodes of the Diane Rehm Show. Since then I’ve found a few really fantastic, inspiring, and eye-opening podcasts. These podcasts have shaped my understanding of spaces, communities, and politics. The podcasts I listen cover a variety of topics from architecture, design, and urban planning to fashion to food to race. These are my top podcasts: The Funambulist I absolutely adore The Funambulist which is also a journal. They cover the politics of bodies and space so they often feature architects and planners but also historians and anthropologists. I cannot… keep reading 🙂

  • Lemon, Lavender, Cardamom (LLC) Cookies

    CW: death, near death experiences (skip to the second photo for the recipe) Nearly two years ago I was in a near death accident while on vacation with my family. It was the climax of what would become the most draining year of my life.

In a previous version of this blog, I focused on sustainable fashion but it’s counterproductive to run a sustainable fashion blog in the same way that people… keep reading 🙂

    I’ve been trying to make these tortillas for off and on for a few years now. I buy similar tortillas from Central Market but they carry them irregularly and Central Market is pretty far from my house so it’s a bit of a hassle to get these tortillas, plus the cost isn’t great. The first time I made these they didn’t work out well at all. The second time they were too thick and not really pliable. I finally figured out how to make these after making a bunch of all-purpose tortillas over the course of the past academic year.… keep reading 🙂

  • welcome

    Hi! I’m Brianna and I recently graduated from college, where I studied architecture and applied geosystems sciences (in short, I researched, studied, and designed sustainable products and spaces with communities in the US and abroad to increase sustainability//you can read more about my other work here). I’m starting the sea x love for my friends and family to keep up with me and share works, spaces, and communities (with their permission) that I love. I’ll also post some insights to whatever I’m working on and different recipes I create. Thanks for the sea x love out! keep reading 🙂
