What I’m Looking Forward To. Victoria Beckham’s new Target Collab.
What I’m Super Excited About. I saved up to buy a new vacuum, the Dyson Cinetic for pet owners and allergy sufferers. It’s like Christmas morning in my house.
What’s Upsetting Me. A woman was accused of faking her own kidnapping, and not even the truth can set her free.

#2 – I bought a Guess Cate satchel last year, but the quality was poor. The fabric loop that the shoulder strap connected to tore out one day – and I don’t overload my bags.
#3 was a much needed laugh that does hit surprisingly close to home. Whoops.
Anna says:
Someone needs to make a vacuum for human hair. Forget all the pet hair, I’m the one who sheds all over the place.
Cait says:
Yes! This weekend I had to use a knife to cut out all the hair that had gotten wrapped around the rolling mechanism in my vacuum- so gross!
Kate says:
Been there done that….
Mpls says:
Yeah – I do that every time I vacuum – the Dyson canister model I have makes it easy to remove the the roller and cut it out with a scissors though.
Anna says:
Ugh, yes. I’m also allergic to dust, so my hands get all red and itchy trying to cut the hair out.
MS says:
This!! Sometimes I’ve wondered if “pet” is just code-word for women’s long hair in marketing speak — my roommate and I don’t have pets but our vaccuum is still a mess.
Lauren says:
Would love to see your wedding season picks and maybe a summer travel clothes guide!

Regarding the article on needing true quiet time: I’m an introvert who frequently comes home from work and sits in silence for 30 minutes. No tv, no serious reading, no music. Although I will sometimes mindlessly scroll through FB. It’s beyond soothing.
Jennifer says:
Thank you for The New Yorker article. I rewrote one of the entries to be, “So sorry that I’m just getting to this now. I hoped you would forget you _ever_ e-mailed me and I could just go on living my life.” I am also adding this entry, “So sorry that I’m just getting to this now. I’ve spent a week sifting through so many attachments from you that I wouldn’t have to do if you just used the &*^%$ shared drive!” Seriously, I am doing this now . . .
Belle says:
“Sorry for the delay, I had way more interesting things to do than respond to this e-mail, here is a list of what I was doing instead: watching grass grow, watching paint dry, watching cat videos on YouTube, and converting oxygen to carbon dioxide.”
Hilary says:
I thought a Dyson would be the vacuum of my dreams … Sadly, I HATE it. Wish I had never bought it. It’s heavy and I HATE the hose attachment – the process of getting to it, the uselessness of the attachments and how much they doesn’t suck, and it does not clean the carpet on our stairs. HATE.

I have a friend who had her brows micro bladed and it looks SO good. It is a procedure I’m freaked out by in theory but it was good to see how great it looks on her and is something I am considering.
