BITES OF EXCESS: February 2026
ATE:
No gluten. In early December I was formally diagnosed as Celiac, and I totally underestimated how much it would throw me for six.
DRANK:
Sauvignon Blanc isn't typically considered a hero of the Orange Wine Region, but this drop from ChaLou is everything you love about a Savvy-B.
WATCHED:
Wuthering Heights during a post-Valentine's solo-date on Sunday. I won't tell you twice, and I won't ask you again. JUST.GO. AND. SEE. IT.
LISTENED TO:
Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth. I LOVE Australian storytelling.
‘Everything I Know about Love’ audiobook. 20 minutes in and I turned it off - sorry to any Dolly Alderton stans out there, but I don't think it's for me.
ON REPEAT:
Chains Of Love by Charlie XCX for the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. Just dreamy.
Homewrecker by Sombr. Huge disco vibe with lyrical depth.
This piece first appeared in Excessive Consumption - a weekly dispatch on culture, branding, politics and whatever other modern internet brain rot the algorithm has emotionally assigned me that week.
