Hi again! Here’s what I had going on this week.
On the blog
ICYMI: All the 2020 gift guides so far. (And more to come!)
And a timely post from the archives: Everything I'm doing to be the moistest woman in Brooklyn this winter.
Writing
And Sally and I released a new ep of the podcast (my fave so far): “Great Gifts and How to Give Them.”
Reading
I’m re-reading the Elin Hildebrand Winter Street novels, which has been a treat! I also finally started The Vanishing Half.
Also:
It Wasn’t the First Time the NYPD Killed Someone in Crisis. For Kawaski Trawick, It Only Took 112 Seconds., ProPublica.
America Needs a COVID-19 Reckoning, The Atlantic.
Sorry to Burst Your Quarantine Bubble, The Atlantic.

Watching
We rented Ammonite, which was fairly slow but I liked it overall? Kate Winslet is just so watchable. We also watched Jingle Jangle on Netflix, which is like Hamilton x The Wiz x Christmas — just a really fun and cute Christmas movie that also happens to have incredible costumes.
Have a good night! 🎄
