“I like to eat dinner early and tend to get hangry so I usually have to pull myself away from my computer to cook or eat."

Breaking Down With Crystal Ung

Tonight, I’m making an easy, classic meal - mapo tofu featuring Bowlcut’s chili crisp. I didn’t cook much the 8 years I lived in NYC because it was more convenient to eat out so I’ve been making up for lost time.

I eat with my husband and we catch up on our day while enjoying the views.

Back to work. I wrap up what I was working on and some miscellaneous items. I tend to feel inspired at night and like to use this time to ideate, brainstorm, and think big-picture. I’ll sometimes treat myself to a glass of wine, a piece of chocolate or dessert. Today, it’s blueberry cheesecake from a local Italian bakery.

I always need time to unwind before bed or I won’t be able to sleep. Today, I did some light yoga. Other days I meditate, read, journal or watch a show.

Shower and skincare routine. I’m usually exhausted by the end of the day so I prefer a simple routine. I tend to take more time in the morning with my skin so it all evens out.
