Hi! Hope your Easter, Passover, weekend, all of it, was everything. We did a late seder at my in-laws' in the city and I'm still recovering from the matzah situation. Anyway. Every spring without fail, I get hit with the same triple threat: I want to work out more, read more, and throw half my house away. Let's get into it.
What I’m reading
I'm finishing up The Uncool, Cameron Crowe's memoir, and I have to say — it's juicier than Almost Famous. The source material is always wilder than the movie.
What I’m watching
I’m rewatching Euphoria with my husband, who’s never seen it before — we’re prepping for the new season dropping April 12th. Somehow it’s even more disturbing the second time around. Pour one out for Fezco.
I also caught the season premiere of Your Friends and Neighbors, which is technically my hometown show and therefore required viewing. The central premise — that a guy with a seven-figure hedge fund job would throw it all away to steal from people he vaguely knows, who absolutely have cameras everywhere because it’s 2026 — is unhinged. And yet Jon Hamm in a hat that still makes him 100% recognizable as Jon Hamm is enough to keep me coming back every week.
What I’m buying at Trader Joe’s
The cooked and seasoned chicken breast bites with honey mustard dipping sauce, found in the refrigerated section. Great as a snack on their own, easy lunch if you throw a salad alongside them. I’m not reinventing the wheel here, I’m just telling you what’s working.

The perfect Mother’s Day gift: this customizable delicate birthstone bracelet.
My new thing is treating my skin like it’s post-procedure — minus the procedure. I’ve been slugging my undereye area and neck with this balm for extra moisture, and I’m fully committed to the bit.
Related: I’m also loving Bioeffect’s 3XGF Recovery Serum, which is technically designed for post-laser but works just as hard on skin that’s simply been alive for a while. It brings back a dewiness that somehow left my face about five years ago and makes me feel like I’ve Quantum Leaped back into my early 30s. Unfortunately, it costs the earth. More unfortunately, it’s worth it. I’m rationing it to daytime only, and only on the parts of my face I have to show other people.
This romper in black will be key come summer. I like that you can pair it with a tank or a T underneath if super strappy isn’t your vibe.
This bookshelf looks a lot more expensive than it is.
Why not some spring underwear?
Perimenopause means I'm sweating through my blowouts at a rate I'd rather not discuss. I used to use this on wet hair before blowdrying every few washes, but using it every wash it giving me humidity-proof hair I’ve never needed more.
My favorite weather app is back with a new name. Does anyone else remember Dark Sky? Apple bought it years ago and it quietly vanished. The team who made it are back with version 2.0, called Acme Weather, which gives hyper-local forecasts and probabilistic scenarios. In other words, it’ll tell you it’s going to rain when it’s going to rain — but it’ll also show crowdsourced data, like rainbow sightings. Fun!
As someone for whom 50% of my homes have had slopey A-frame ceilings in at least a couple of rooms, this shelving unit appeals.
Ronan Farrow is back with a new exposé, this time on Sam Altman.
I just discovered this guy’s YouTube, which helps you get over 10K steps in an hour—at home! Try it.
This dupe for the Negative Whipped pajama set delivers. Thank you to for discovering it!
These closet shelves make storing everything from spring sweaters to tees easier.
This chic lamp looks like it costs way more than it does and comes in two colorways, plus a wicker iteration.
As of this weekend, you could ship the better Australian/European formula they don’t allow in The States of my favorite sunscreen brand via Cult Beauty. You’ll pay for the shipping, but it’s worth it for the formula you can’t get without a trip overseas.
