10 Things We're Doing Besides Talking Your Ears Off

Jun 19

Lately on the podcast, a few things that…

Felt too obvious to include in this newsletter—but that we need to discuss anyway. (Plus the scoop on the polish colors that are ending up on everyone’s hands and feet, from the founder of cult-favorite nail salon, Olive & June.)
Alex would like to tell the world about proper dating etiquette. (Plus the scoop on the Turkish rugs that are ending up on everyone’s arms and feet, from the founder of cult-favorite accessories line, Artemis Design Co.)

erica’s things

Marveling at the innovation that is self-cling bubble wrap—because anything that eliminates battles with packing tape deserves our respect.
Craving Zapp’s Voodoo Heat chips, especially served as a cocktail snack as they do at Diamond Reef in Brooklyn.
Finding that the content of The Mothers is on par with the cover design (which, I should note, is v. v. v. good).
Envisioning floors and backsplashes covered in these tiles—or these or these! I’m falling down a rabbithole, no doubt grout about it.
Predicting that my consumption of this salad (and that anchovy dressing of its) will hit absurd levels—check back in with me in a month.

Relishing a very meaty conversation between my favorite radio personality and my favorite Delawarean.
Reintroducing mascara into my makeup routine after a brief hiatus because I finally found one that leaves zero shmutz underneath my eyes (for real).
Still mourning the discontinuation of the Nike Free 3.0s—the shoe that converted me to the barefoot-ish running trend—but taking comfort in the next best thing.
Feeling silly telling you how fanatically I love Schwab bank but feeling even sillier keeping it a secret. Their customer service is unparallelled. (And, FYI: They don’t just do brokerage stuff—I use ‘em strictly for plain old checking.)
Absorbing an extraordinary story about the role of humor in times of strife.

Counting on my loved ones to tell me when I have overworn this thing to the point of embarrassment.
