As much as I hate August, I love August. August is for lounging. It’s air conditioning on blast, bug bites, ice cream for dinner, sweat behind knees, peaches and cherries, back to school shopping, and impending change. It’s hot and endless. It flies by and swallows me whole.
Now, on to the #content:
Topicals made sprays!!! A brightening mist and hydrating mist for your summer body care needs. Body care is definitely having a moment.
Soft Services now makes a body clay and clearing mist. I’m into the mist but I’m curious what a new version of a clay mask can bring to a pretty saturated market.
You had me at anarchist geography.
We actually need to stop eating cake batter. Interesting how the government only ever wants me to stop doing the things that bring me joy!
I’ve heard wonderful things about the K18 hair mask and my dry ends need it. I’ve been using my own Living Proof Weightless mask after I borrowed it from Elie a couple times (sorry love you!!) and noticed it makes a difference in how shiny my hair is, even if it isn’t as soft as I’d like.
E. Alex Jung is always great (except for that one time, real HH fans know)
Has Supergoop always had hair powder and I just didn’t know?
OddFellows and McConnell’s ice cream… Viva la gourmet ice cream revolution!
Yes I am trash enough to want the Yeezy Gap puffer :/
What do you mean you’re not obsessively reading about the future of food and farming?? Yes I know vegs are sick of hearing about plant based meat but the IMPLICATIONS.
The Diary of a Teenage Adult yeah :)
Great read on My Unorthodox Life which I believe falls under the category of excellent anthropology TV.
My first thought on Constance Grady’s article is that I really did not watch OG Gossip Girl! I’ve seen the first two seasons dozens of times but the later seasons were… camp in a way I personally find unappealing. The second is the realization that I’m over new GG. Don’t get me wrong I love the green Constance bathroom tile but this cast has ZEROOOO chemistry. I keep watching to see what references Tavi’s crew keeps making. My personal hopes: Sky Ting, Leandra Medine, Red Scare, Shereene Idriss, Wildair/Contra, and Catbird. Didn’t they get a RIP Flora Bar in there already?
Revisited this 2014 article on Maiyet which feels like a time capsule! Can you imagine someone writing this article now?
I’ve gotten really into astrology/personal aptitude tests in an effort to figure myself out. After a lifetime of thinking I was an INTJ, I found out I’m actually an INTP. Famous INTPs include Harper Lee, Karl Marx, and Albert Einstein. Reclusive literary darling, chatty communist, and this king! I don’t know if I solved my problem but I found some new personalities to steal and isn’t that what we’re all looking for at the end of the day? Tell me yours babes, I’m dying to know.
People seemed to like last week’s poem so I decided to end with another snippet today. Happy manifesting little lions!
