We’ve got another fantastic feature in our series where we ask some of our favorite women what things they can’t live without right now.
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to my fashion illustrator friend Victoria and her picks…
Victoria-Riza is a fashion illustrator and founder of The Riza, an online editorial that fuses her love for art, fashion, culture, and creativity. Born in the Philippines and raised in the hills of Tennessee, she now resides in Springfield, IL with her two kids and her cultural psychologist husband, Jordan. Victoria is an aspiring chef and is best described as an introverted extrovert. She loves working to lo-fi music, waking up at six in the morning, and her current celebrity obsession is Fran Lebowitz.
With every member of my family being home these days, I find that at the end of the day, I haven’t really connected with my kids. So instead of fully cleaning the kitchen after dinner time, I’ll snuggle up with my five year old and watch one of his favorite cartoons like StoryBots on Netflix (the episodes How Do People Catch a Cold and Where Do Planets Come From are always repeated!). Some nights, we’ll snuggle up and read through the latest issue of Bon Appetit and he’ll help bookmark recipes we’re dying to try.
Similar to not connecting with my kids, I haven’t been connecting with my husband. The other day I suggested we start doing lunch dates. We don’t go out of course, but we’ll find a time when we’re both free, meet up in the kitchen at said time, make lunch together, and eat at the table. Early in the pandemic, we’d eat lunch together in the living room and just watch TV. We’re making little changes that help us remember to spend time together because the mundaneness of this lock-in has made it so easy to overlook the people you love. We’re eating our lunches on these compostable fiber plates. There seems to be more dishes these days and these paper plates have been a time saver in our kitchen without taking it out on the planet!
I have 32 plants now and taking care of them is my favorite stress relieving activity during the winter. Each room that I spend a lot of time in has at least four plants. I’m working my way to creating an oasis in each space. My son once told me that my plants weren’t looking so good. That’s not true! Okay, I have two plants that aren’t doing so well. I think he was excited to learn about the Plant Kween (we read his feature in this February’s Bon Appetite during one of our snuggle sessions) and he told me that I needed to call him to get some help. Shade! Aside from Christopher the Plant Kween being my go-to plant influencer, Donna of The Ratchet Hipster (a long time friend) is where I love to shop for new plants and get some realness in plant advice.
Thanks Victoria! Find more in our series right here.

In a strong and happy chinese brides relationship, trust is the most important thing. If you trust your soulmate in everything, then the family will be a strong a priori. Asian wives are not only good wives and mothers; they are also loyal and reliable friends and companions. Thanks to a sense of trust, you will not waste your nerves and energy on jealousy and will not get tired of constantly checking each other. As a result, you can safely go to parties and just spend time with your friends, thereby getting full relaxation outside the family setting. Therefore, dating Asian women are an excellent choice when it comes to the role of wives. They will never betray you and will be with you in sorrow and joy to the end.

I am LOVING this series, Say Yes Team. I love the diversity of your subjects and what they all have to say. As a Filipina woman, I love seeing someone like me, reflected in your blog.
Also, I can really relate about not connecting. Being locked in together it seems as if we’re doing the opposite of connecting!
I’d love to know what color lipstick and brand Victoria is wearing! And where I can get that Super Mom shirt! xo
