On Monday, I woke up feeling under the weather. I snatched a COVID/Flu test from the bathroom and watched with revulsion as the line next to COVID quickly turned a bright pink. Delightful.
Here on the 89th day of January, in the year of our Lord 2026 as the world continues to spin madly on, being sick for the fifth time since October is just feeling like a little too much.
+ Moms, how much power are you willing to give up?
+ I’m at the age where I get excited about new bath mats.
+ How to ‘fix’ your Instagram feed.
+ Tuckernuck is having a sample sale. I snagged this tennis sweater.
+ These creme brûlée cupcakes look divine.
+ J.Crew has the coolest Olympics collab. I’m smitten with this puffer jacket.
+ How to spend less without trying.
+ Tatcha gives out special gifts with purchase in January, don’t miss yours.
+ Americans are warming to the German tradition of ‘house burping.’
+ I love this ‘cool Mom’ cardigan in the green and black stripe.
+ MTV took music videos off the air, a rogue website brought them back.
+ Boden’s new arrivals are killing it. This striped knit jacket is perfect for spring.
+ She opened a bookshop; the best/worst thing she’d ever done.
+ BonBon is now making chocolate bars just in time for Valentine’s Day. They taste like a better version of a Kit-Kat bar. I still like their gummy candy best though.

Last year was the winter (and spring) of sicknesses for us. So far so good this year but I’m sure it’s coming for me. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
