Handing it to Bon Appétit for owning the term “healthyish” with the launch of this shiny, pretty-good-for-you site.
Cheering on a friend for building her own chandelier (with a little bit of help from Lindsey Adelman).
White-knuckling it through This Is Where It Ends, Marieke Nijkamp’s powerful YA novel about the 54 minutes of a school shooting.
Giving my coat a new lease on life with a fresh lining by Mend (more on Katie Anderson’s tailoring tips here!).
Gasping at the discovery that the second season of Entertainment Weekly’s Binge podcast is dedicated to Friday Night Lights. Connie Britton makes an appearance on the first episode—should I be so bold as to hope for Michael B. Jordan?!

Not expecting to be quite so inspired by a five-minute video where Lisa Frank appears as an animated lion discussing her career path with designer Rachel Antonoff.
Journaling in the simplest (and most aggressively positive) way possible: Receive a daily text or email asking what you’re grateful for, shoot back a quick response, and it’s logged for you.
Finding a low-stakes, high-comedy, surprisingly smart sitcom to binge, starring two faves: Kristen Bell and Ted Danson.
Stocking way up on this little-bit-savory, lotta-bit-tangy, best-dried-fruit-I’ve-ever-had.
Calling Lauren Sherman one of the smartest fashion writers working right now, and eagerly consuming the story of how she got to be that way.

Spreading the love any way I can, with the support of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Willie Nelson.
