Now and again, I’ll try out new fragrances — as my friend Gemma says, “life is too short for a signature scent; I want to smell like as many beautiful things as I can” — and they’re always nice. But recently I’ve tried one that’s blowing me away. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists, and Alex keeps pulling me into https://cupofjo.com/2021/09/20/parents-kissing/” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>kisses in the kitchen. The sexy scent? https://shop-links.co/chPWvOuBClq” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>Lake & Skye’s Saffron Dusk. “Dark florals, spicy woods and a musky cool” is the description. Love love love. (You can get https://shop-links.co/chPWvOuBClq” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>an $8 one, too!)

The Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/subwayhands/” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>Subway Hands by Hannah La Follette Ryan is surprisingly moving, don’t you think? (https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkHFZWOkq3/” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>This one looks like a Michelangelo sculpture.)

I just tore through Laura Chinn’s memoir https://amzn.to/3SzGgTo” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>Acne about her wild childhood in Florida. Her divorced parents struggled with poverty and addition, her big brother went blind from a brain tumor, and she lived alone and raised herself for months at a time. (She started drinking and smoking when she was 11.) To top it off, she had very aggressive acne. From the jacket copy, I expected the book to be 100% heart-wrenching — but, while some parts are obviously devastating, Chinn’s hilarious, hopeful and gritty personality shines through, front and center. As she says herself, in the end, “it is not a sad story.”

Well, I’m officially 43 years old because guess what I’m into right now? Placemats. We put them on https://cupofjo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/IMG_2010-scaled.jpeg” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>our dining table to make the whole room look warm and inviting. These https://shop.finderskeepers.dk/en/collections/jou-quilts” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>striped numbers are made in Denmark.
