10 Things We're Doing Besides Podcasting

Oct 24

Here’s what you’ve been missing if you haven’t been keeping up with the good old p’cast:

Our thoughts on how to really nail vacation vibes—with special tips for the workaholic in all of us.
An absurdly fun conversation with Tayari Jones, the author of #ReadingThings selection Silver Sparrow, who lays down the law when it comes to our fantasy casting of her novel.
Lotsa pasta ideas and beauty tips from Shailene Woodley’s go-to MUA.
Us gushing to author Courtney Martin about the life-changing magic of her book The New Better Off.
A confab on curly hair, straight hair, and what will unseat dry shampoo as the top product you’d never heard of until one day you owned six versions of it—all direct from Chris Lospalutto, who cuts Claire’s hair.

Piling on the moisturizer. Ingredient I’m hoping will be my flakey, fall-skin savior: hyaluronic acid (which comes in the form of a serum, like this one).
Praying that Minnesota-made Prohibition Kombucha gets New York distribution real soon—it isn’t sweet and comes in flavors like The Sicilian, with rosemary, lemon, and orange blossom.
Relating a little too much to this article about aggressively scheduling plans.
Hoping that anyone who puts on events on the reg is aware of Splash—sure, it has good, easy-to-execute design templates, but it’s the RSVP management and messaging stuffs FTW for me.
Finding a way to combine potato chips and kale for dinner.

Ushering in pumpkin season with a pepita dip/dressing that single-handedly validates the cost of owning a food processor.
Keeping a set of five pounders by the couch because my Vanderpump Rules habit is hard to justify as anything other than background noise for some lazy bicep curls. (Also coming in handy for the **Advanced** 7 Minute Workout!)
Applauding BĒT for doing its part to give vodka a better rep. It’s made from sugar beets (of all things!), and the gorgeous bottle is gift-worthy all on its own.
Adding a colorful print from Stephanie Specht’s Totem Faces series to my collection. It manages to look good next to anything.
Reaching for the earbuds anytime a new video from Liz Plank pops up in my feed—Nasty Woman Perfume and Sexist Olympics should be all the convincing you need to do the same. Psyched to hear she’s got a much-deserved TV project in the works.

Deciding it might be time to replace my grimy grocery list whiteboard with something considerably more pleasing to the eye.
