I created this site myself using Showit and a template from the Tonic Site Shop, which is the home to an assortment of phenomenal templates that simply are not like anything else on the internet. Use the code "ESME15" to get 15% off.

Co-working for homebodies. I find Cave Day surprisingly helpful for getting things done, and maybe you will, too.

If you're like me and you're a grown adult who loves stickers, Stickii is the place for you. I've subscribed to their monthly sticker club (there are three, each with a different style of stickers), and you can buy sticker sheets a la carte as well.

If you happen to Google yourself and see that your personal information is all over the internet... well, welcome. DeleteMe is the service I recommend to people who need to keep their information tucked away.

Founded by writer Rachel Khong, The Ruby SF is a beautiful co-working space where classes are held, food-driven events happen, and people make friends and lifelong connections.
