\"\"\"\"Are you feeling that\u2014the pull toward nesting? Is your energy dipping? Do you fall asleep earlier? Because, same. I\u2019m leaning into it\u2014slower mornings, softer nights, and heartier meals with the impending colder weather and darker evenings.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t be denying it. There\u2019s always a reason for our bodies\u2019 shifts. It\u2019s time to nest and cuddle up to a pot roast and melting roasted potatoes. The challenge is figuring out how to still fit in a couch rot when my schedule is as busy as summer\u2019s. I think I\u2019ll just have to put it in the calendar. It is, after all, some of my most important work.<\/p>\n

I hope you do the same. Maybe an extra splash of cream in your coffee wouldn\u2019t hurt either. Take it, sit on that couch, and let\u2019s take a look at some of the links I\u2019ve stumbled across since we last caught up.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 It was my fault\u2014or at least that\u2019s what I thought when I couldn\u2019t get pregnant. I wasn\u2019t eating well enough. I was a defective body. But if I could just work harder at the things they said to do, maybe I could bend the outcome. The truth is, those were just false rituals to make me feel like I had any control in the matter.

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 All press is good press\u2014or so they say. And so it was with the Mona Lisa. Her very heist is what made her globally famous<\/strong><\/a>. Unlike the current heist at the Louvre, the culprit didn\u2019t steal her for parts. Not for money at all. History reflects on the heist that made the Mona Lisa famous. (History)<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 Buy some plain Greek yogurt. You\u2019re going to want to make these Apple Butter and Cream Cheese Kolaches<\/strong><\/a>. The dough is incredibly soft and makes the most bakery-level pastry right from your oven. The dough is in my fridge now, ready to bake up for a scary movie night we\u2019re having with my cousins this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0<\/strong> Do we feed the chef? Do we gift the gift giver? This week, I reflected on a moment in my weekend when I was served a bowl of soup and the joy that came from it.<\/strong><\/a> (Substack)<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 I need your help. Does anyone own a Lola Blanket\u2014and are they worth it?<\/strong><\/a> It seems like such a wild investment for a throw blanket. But I don\u2019t know\u2014it might be the call of the colder months coming, but I might be influenced into investing in one soon. They seem heavy, cozy, and just the right vibe for a couch rot. At the very least, I\u2019m putting it on my Christmas list. If you\u2019d like to de-influence me\u2014now is the time. (LolaBlankets)<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 One thing I know about the internet is that it goes hard on a trend. But as someone who has collected \u201cRalph Lauren Christmas\u201d d\u00e9cor for years now, I\u2019m happy it\u2019s getting its flowers. Although I always called it \u201cTraditional Cinnamon Christmas\u201d because I like the sound of it. It reminds me of how my mom decorated for Christmas when I was a child of the \u201990s.\u00a0 However, please don\u2019t feel the need to throw out your curated collection of Christmas d\u00e9cor just because the internet deemed 2025 the year of the Ralph Lauren Christmas. No\u2014just lean into what makes you happiest. But if you\u2019re interested in leaning further into the trend, People gives us some decorating rules for a real Ralph Lauren Christmas.<\/strong><\/a> (People)<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong>\u00a0 This one\u2019s a bit niche, but the Interesting Times podcast sat down with an economist to ask a very important question: Is AI a bubble\u2014and is it about to burst?<\/strong><\/a> As someone who worries that AI might be the death of culture (and many jobs), it\u2019s interesting to hear about it from a strictly economic standpoint\u2014and maybe what our government can do to lessen the negative impacts on our economy.

\u2022\u00a0<\/strong> These little quilted makeup bags<\/strong><\/a> are just my favorite thing ever\u2014washable, flexible, and so feminine. I\u2019ve bought them for gifts, used them to organize a stack of highlighters, and of course for my travel makeup. I find so many uses for them, and they just make me so happy. (Amazon)<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Lastly, here\u2019s a day in my life in Salem<\/strong><\/a> (please drop by Floso<\/strong><\/a> and say hi!), and a very cozy crockpot chili offering<\/strong><\/a>. (Instagram, Olive and Artisan)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
