Anyone else freaking the fuck out about money? Oh hi there! Thanks for coming!

So look: Shopping isn't happening right now. Which is actually probably great in some ways, because the present moment is teaching us just how little we actually *need*. I, for example, have recently taken stock of my not-inconsiderable shoe wardrobe, and discovered that I wear exactly three of the pairs I own. Two of those are pairs of Birkenstocks, and of those two pairs of Birkenstocks, one is a pair of Birkenstocks that my dog is hell-bent on eating, with astonishingly successful results. Never, ever again in my life - and this is a promise that I feel very comfortable making - will I wear four-inch leopard-print stilettos. That ship has sailed, my friends.

Pour one out for the leopard-print stilettos.

The insecurities, incentives, and impulses all parents must navigate as they engage with platforms have the ability to make otherwise mature adults act like teenagers. Writer and influencer Jordan Reid, also known as @ramshackleglam, laughed when I asked her about this, as if it were so self-evident it hardly bore discussing. “I mean, I’m 38 years old and I put sparkle filter on my face,” she says.

Sure do. Not super proud of it, but I sure do.

Register to join Thursday's virtual event here! It'll be hosted by my friend, colleague, and overall spectacular human Skyler Bouchard in tandem with NYC's brand-new wellness membership service, The Well, and I'm so excited.

Anyone else extremely grateful for eye cream and cocktails rn? 

Just ordered a pair of these waterproof, lightweight Birkenstocks for gardening purposes, and am PUMPED.

Ideas for book-involving crafts (handmade bookmarks, painting on pages, etc) that are actually really cute. (Bookish Crafts to Do in Quarantine, via Book Riot.)
