Blazing through The Selection, which, according an in-the-know 12 year old, is the next big Y.A. book series. Think The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games, with ballgowns.
Trying to show restraint at Oriental Garden in NYC’s Chinatown...and failing miserably. All the dim-sum is stellar—but the scallop dumplings especially.
Nodding along to the brilliance of Modern Recast, which breaks down who would play what role if, say, Lost in Translation, Dazed & Confused, and Grease were made today. (Yes to Jennifer Lawrence as Bridget Jones!)
Stumbling upon an underwire-free bra I can get behind. WHO KNEW.
Dying over The Cut’s “I Like This Bitch’s Life” column. It perfectly encapsulates that jealousy-tinged fangirl sentiment.

Cheating on coconut oil with Malaya Woods body oil, which smells amazing and has kind of a dry oil vibe.
Finding a new summer workout gear staple: these magical tanks that make running in this humidity way more bearable—almost like running topless, but without...having to be topless.
Confessing that, for god knows what reason, I could not stop reading this hilariously detailed timeline of Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak’s relationship.
Ending my fear of shampoo-fueled bad hair days thanks to Purely Perfect, which makes everything fresh and clean but not dry and frizzy.
Eagerly anticipating the release of Pixar’s Inside Out, which, if the trailer is any indication, is going to be an Up-style instant classic (and tearjerker).
