I guess I just keep doing these until Covid isn’t a thing?
Home (bc I’m most obsessed right now) / Buy All The Things!
- Really loving PreFix, which is essentially a home maintenance subscription ($40/mo) with twice-yearly preventative maintenance (shit you will literally never do like sanitize your washing machine) plus access to a handyman for $40/hour. I have a long list of honey-dos which I might have had before but definitely have now as a gimp. Use my referral link for two free months, which includes your first preventative maintenance session!
- Aside from incessantly considering paint colors (finally getting the cabinets done!), I am also obsessing over art and browsing artfinder.com like it’s my job. [*link is a referral code with 15% off!]
- One artist I discovered there whose work I adore: Hannah Adamszek.
- I don’t need another pair of joggers I don’t need another pair of joggers I don’t need … I have two of these sweat sets. Fair warning: even if your father comes over in the morning (to drop off your latte a lá dada) and compliments you on how cute your fit is, you still should not wear it to your (in-home) date that evening. When you open the door, he will say sweetly, “Oh it’s a sweatsuit.”**
Feed & Wine Me
- I love Rao’s jarred sauces, and I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know there was a restaurant in NYC. I MUST go eat at it now. Just after I finish making grandma Rao’s gravy (that’s how you know it’s real Italian).
- Beloved Balanza Vineyard is doing a winter stock-up sale with 20% off (can be mixed) cases of their 2019 & 2020 rosés and 2018 pinot (the inkiest of the vertical imo). It’s a steal with $20 shipping!
Pack Your Bags
- DR for $500? Literally pack your bags right now. (Er, I mean, not before I book my trip to Bend!!)
- Breeze, that new airline flying out of San Antonio, is launching NOLA flights in May. $120 RT? Worth driving to SA for. Arkansas flights are that cheap now … hello Ozarks?
**I relayed this story to said date and he had me in stitches laughing. A sampling of his commentary:
- “Your dad and I should definitely think different things look cute on you.”
- “Did he compliment you while cleaning his knife?”
- “Your dad is a saboteur.”
