10 Things We're Doing Besides Besting 10 Things

Sometimes email just isn’t a dynamic enough medium to adequately express our love of a THING—so we gotta take it to the podcast. This week, we teed up a “Best of 10 Things” ep that covers everything from contact lens care to iPhone functions you probably aren’t using but really oughta be. LISTEN UP.

erica’s things

  • Wrapping the hippest of dental flosses around my fingers. (You know, this week in teeth trends…)

  • Declaring that every neighborhood deserves a restaurant as warm, cheery, and just plain delicious as Golda—get the eggplant menemen there for bfast, and tell me you don’t feel so much better about your day.

  • Exploring the design history—and, blessedly, future—of something that’s been pretty much the same since the 1840s: the speculum.

  • Sticking a lazy susan turntable under my kitchen sink. Just like that: accessible cleaning supplies, on heavy rotation.

  • Taking a quick (fluffy) escape from EVERYTHING.

claire’s things

  • Admitting that I can’t break the questionable habit of gel polish (that durability, tho!) and submitting CND’s Nude Knickers—one coat only—as my nominee for the perfect minimalist manicure vibe. I know at least one vote’s in the bag.

  • Drawing out summer just a little longer via Beautiful Animals—one part beach read, one part psychological thriller, one part cultural critique. All parts really hard to put down.  

  • Bookmarking People of Craft, a great project (and resource!) celebrating creatives of color across various disciplines.

  • Dwelling on this great piece of advice for focusing your activism energy, care of Mikki Halpin and featured in Julia Turshen’s all-around wonderful Feed the Resistance: Pick three causes—one you’ll be a leader on, one you’ll be a follower on, and one you’ll make a habit of.

  • Feeling like this nation could really use something silly and communal along the lines of HQ Trivia to bond over right now.
