These are my tried and true favorites as a result of they’re not too thick like an precise scrunchie, however the materials is smooth and delicate in your hair, and not less than for me, doesn’t go away a gnarly indent once you take them out. They’re straightforward to put on in your wrist as a result of they’re a lot thinner, like an everyday hair tie, however they bunch up properly in your hair to present you extra of that exaggerated pony vibe. And the colours are simply too cute!

Advertising and marketing labored on me as a result of I noticed this unbelievably cute set on Instagram and instantly snagged it after I discovered the highest was $24 and the bottoms have been $26. The easy railroad stripe made my coronary heart flutter, and the little gold buttons make it look so costly. I wore it a couple of completely different occasions this previous week and obtained so many compliments, and each time, individuals have been shocked to be taught it was from Walmart (as was I, lol). The pants come cuffed, however I simply minimize the stitching to make them longer. Additionally notice the highest runs true to dimension, however the bottoms run a bit large!

For those who like whit dryer than a rice cake, you’re going to like Schmatta. Leonora not too long ago received dangerous information about her job but once more, this time due partly to the imposed tariffs, so let’s assist this hard-working lady, we could?!? You possibly can join free or turn into a paid subscriber for $7 a month.

Till this coming Tuesday, Could 13, 20×200 is providing 30% off their Classic + Area Editions with code ICONIC (you received’t see the sale worth on the product pages till they’re added to cart with the code, FYI).

YES, THAT MATISSE. Unstandably, Alex needed to make a reputation for himself with out utilizing his household’s well-known identify, and that he did. The work East Fork produces is heirloom high quality, and from all the pieces we’ve ever identified and examine them, they actually appear to care concerning the work as a lot because the individuals they make use of. However again to household legacy, they not too long ago launched The Matisse Assortment — a celebration and collaboration of his grandfather’s artwork and his pottery. Whereas there have, after all, been different collaborations with Matisse’s artwork, none like this. This one is particular. Nearly like you might be getting a bit of artwork historical past. You guess I’m saving up for these plates🙂 We have been followers earlier than we knew, and this enjoyable new piece of knowledge solely provides a cool new layer.
From Caitlin: I’m bullish on some of the developments in AI – I’m surprised by the medical purposes; I’m floored by a few of the analysis capabilities; I’m even a paying buyer of ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor! – However I’m REALLY cautious of developments in chatbots. Working example: some conversations are driving individuals to the brink of delusion, as reported on this gripping Rolling Stone piece. AI may be actually harmful when it’s this sycophantic and enabling – should you’re a guardian, I’d urge you to get aware of these instruments so you’ll be able to clarify them to your children. They’re much more vulnerable to taking these instruments at face worth, which may (and has) come at a grave value. It’s turning into more and more clear that we have to construct our in-person communities – a monetized chatbot is a far cry from an actual good friend, irrespective of what Zuck says.
Thanks for stopping by, as at all times, have a phenomenal Mom’s Day to all the mothers, and see you tomorrow for the out of doors kitchen reveal!!! xx
