Miami native, only child, find her @chillhouse

WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

Well, in all honesty I’m obsessed with things. It could be my Taurus sun, it could be the fact that I’m an only child, but I see tremendous value in items, especially ones with a lot of memories. Also (and this one sounds crazy) I very recently learned how to be a good match-lighter, so my collection has a lot more purpose recently!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

My favorite matches are probably from a place called @thefriendbar in Los Angeles. They’re so cute and colorful and a memento of a really, really fun night out with friends. Unfortunately though, that one’s at home in Miami. I promise my actual match collection is a lot better than this!

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

Two places: at work (we have a ton of candles in the office) and at home, about 30 minutes before I head to bed. And yes, I’m very careful about not falling asleep with candles on!
