erica’s things

  • Applauding the release of the too-tempting cookbook from my local ice-cream joint, Ample Hills Creamery. Where to start, Pistachio Squared or Ooey Gooey Butter Cake?

  • Realizing that my vocabulary’s been longing for the term FODO, which stands for “fear of disappointing others” and is basically the antithesis of FOMO.

  • Trying to pick up a little (um pouco?) Portuguese before a big summer trip—and discovering that the free app Duolingo is the way to do it.

  • Diving into the 60 Minutes story of the ultimate family business, McIlhenny Company—which has been making Tabasco sauce for five generations, y’all.

  • Anxiously awaiting the arrival of peonies! And getting my fix with Muji’s incense tribute to the flower in the meantime.

claire’s things

  • Letting Jenna Wortham charm the crap out of me via this genius Buzzfeed column in which she is tasked with explaining her most recently used emoji.

  • Using a brush on my very-curly hair for the first time in probably 15 years: The Tangle Teezer manages not to break and pull at it and just generally get all caught up in it.

  • Loving this snappy, six-minute talk by Nick Roope, which reveals, among other things, fascinating details about urinal design.

  • Keeping track of all of the brilliant ideas (and, okay, random to-dos) that pop into my head while showering, thanks to Aqua Notes.

  • Hoping to improve my running form (and avoid perennial running injuries!) with these tips from Well & Good.
