#3: Happy Holidays Fam!
Vegan recipes + a day in the life of a hand model + more
Hey you!
2020’s holiday season is by far the strangest of recent memory. In an effort to keep the ones we love safe--we have to be apart from them. But, that doesn’t mean that we can’t reach out and connect with others. We just have to get creative.
During this holiday season, reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while (send them a Facebook message, FaceTime them, etc.) The best present you can give to those you love is your presence (although, a virtual Etsy gift card to support small businesses may be a close second).
FYI, there won’t be a newsletter next week — Issue #4 will drop on January 5th! In the mean time, read previous issues of Oh, Write here and check out the publication on Medium! Have a great holiday break!
