Happy Friday! Continuing with our Words for Love series, today we’re all about ludus. This is a playful type of love that we experience in a wide range of relationships – parents and kids, kids playing with each other, people flirting, or my favorite, playing with your dog. As someone who takes themselves Very Seriously, ludus […]
We’ve talked about philia, we’ve talked about eros, now it’s time to talk about pragma. This is the kind of love that allows a relationship to function over the long term. It’s made of understanding, patience, compromise, and teamwork. And unfortunately, at least in my opinion, it’s the least valued type of love despite the […]
Hi everyone! The midterms are a week away – yikes. As promised, here is Part Two of the “Vote Now” series, where we’re breaking down why the midterms matter, how to figure out what or who to vote for, and where to go for more information. Last week we talked about why midterms are more […]

The second Greek word for love we’ll […]
Last week, we talked a bit about how the Greeks had (at least) seven words for love. With the launch of the blog, it feels like forever ago, but here we are at almost one week old, oiling up the old typing fingers to talk about love. Ooh lala. We touched a bit on Eros last […]
As you know, I publish pretty much everything in both English in Portuguese. What you may not know is that I didn’t actually grow up speaking Portuguese. While my family has roots in Portugal (albeit via South America), my natively-speaking grandfather never taught my dad nor my aunts a word of the language. At the […]
How one moment changed everything I thought I knew about career and my place in the world. I always loved clothing and style. This love began early, when as a child my mom would let my sister and I choose and new dress to wear on Christmas Eve. I would spend an indecent amount of […]
Hang on to your hats, this is the intro to a Seven Part Series! We’re going to kick things off with a series on the seven faces of love according to the ancient Greeks! Ok, that may sound nerdy (and it is), but it has been super illuminating for me to see the relationships in […]
