A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Getting Our Sunshine in All Forms

If you are currently in your thirties, will be in your thirties soon, or are still processing your thirties, well, we have the podcast ep for you: We’re breaking down the decade and what it means now with Kayleen Schaefer, whose new book But You’re Still So Young would be required reading if we had any control over assigning such things. Should you be interested in the rest of our newsletter and podcast book recs, explore ‘em all right over here.

Erica’s Things

• Assembling the ideal wine rack, which you can put together in all sorts of ways and expand over time, too.

• Considering the bar for frosted flowers officially raised. I mean! We must discuss!

• Becoming an official Elizabeth Acevedo stan.

• Feeling pretty damn self-satisfied after whipping up tamago.

• Thinking of starting a baseball-card collection just for these artist-designed charmers.

Claire’s Things

• Mixing this superhero into salad dressings, sauteed greens, the oil that I’m pan-searing fish in...it gets around.

• Finding so much of what I’ve been craving in Mary H.K. Choi’s latest, which is both unputdownable and an extremely satisfying love letter to NYC, among many other things.

• Swooning over the perfect bridal looks at Kamperett.

• Feeling seen.

• Making an exception to my “meh” stance on sheet masks for this one that serves up instant gratification and glow. 

Small-Business Thing

• Getting the tiniest taste of spring...and imagining swimsuit season. OOKIOH is “a cool brand that wants to make sustainable fun, accessible, and inclusive.” They’re working on completely eliminating plastics—from their packaging, systems, etc.—over the next two years, and they’ve designed this pretty perfect black one-piece.
