If your lobes are being boring lately, look elsewhere for excuses. Because frankly, our earring department is really bringing its best game these days. Some of us are even getting extra piercings just to deal with it.

  • Grinning my way through this tour of Marilyn Minter’s as-cheery-as-it-gets home in Cold Spring, New York. And c’mon with this quote: “I’m a bad girl, but I’m always polite about it.”

  • Embracing the fact that it’s actually below freezing with some butter-happy comfort food: mushroom stroganoff ft. these egg noodles.

  • Filing away the smart little As You Stay app, which lets you book a hotel room based on when you actually want to be in it—none of this 3 p.m. check-in/11 a.m. check-out business.

  • Burying my nose in the star jasmine that’s currently blooming—flourishing!!!—on my windowsill.

  • Growing my knowledge of 1) geobiology and 2) the life of a female scientist by way of Hope Jahren’s completely captivating memoir Lab Girl. If you need to be sold on her writing, try this.

claire’s things

  • Bookmarking this succinct and spot-on guide to Tokyo that’s way more user-friendly than the unwieldy mess of forwarded emails I pass along whenever anyone asks.

  • Wishing these sheets came in bigger-than-a-crib size.

  • Dreading departing from EWR just a little bit less thanks to Dale Talde’s Little Purse in Terminal C, where you’ll find dumplings that are far better than any airport food really needs to be.

  • Finding beauty in bread tags.

  • Rooting for Werk, a job-listing site featuring ambitious roles that have flexible schedules, with the goal of advancing women to leadership positions even when their lives don’t fit so neatly into the traditional 9-to-5.
