Let It Be Sunday, 46!

-It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like...

Let It Be Sunday

Happy Sunday, my friends!  Are you still working on leftover turkey?  We’ve blown through our cranberry sauce and gravy so now… what’s the point of turkey?

I hope this weekend has been loud and rowdy, with loads of laughter and way too many dirty dishes.  That’s how you know you’re doing it right.

I spent the holiday in Palm Springs with my family.  This is my grandmother’s kitchen window and giant roses I thought were fake for two days.  They’re real.  Now I’m back in New Orleans YouTubing how to hang shelves and putting up Christmas decorations.  Simple things, but it feels like a very good life.

Here’s some Internet thoughts and words:

•  How ‘Treat Yourself’ Became a Capitalist Command.  From indulgent introspection to reflexive consumerism.  Have we been fooled?

•  7 Habits of people with remarkable mental toughness.  We’re gritty.  We’ve got this.

•  Is it OK to listen to R Kelly?  The answer is NO.

•  I think these are beautiful images.  The 12 o’clock boys, photos from Baltimore

•  OMG!  The Hyperbole of Internet Speak.  Not literally dying… not even figuratively dying.  ‘Laughed a little on the inside’ is probably most correct.

•  It’s gotten so weird, you guys.  The Five Stages of Ghosting Grief

•  Five more things?  5 Things to learn from Julia Child’s kitchen.  Let’s be kitchen maximalists.

•  A top NYC street photographer’s five favorite backdrops and tips.

•  Never too late for this life skill:  How to get the perfect first pie slice.

•  Mustard Bath… this has got to be good, right?

•  I made one of my Instagram prints available as a print:  Macaron wrapped canvas print and Macaron poster (great in 12×12 high-gloss or archival matte).

•  I know a good apron when I tie one around my waste.  I LOVE this LumberJill apron.  Extra long and chic. Plus!  30% off with the code THANKFUL.  

Have a happy day.  Rest and be easy.

    Re mustard bath: “helping people to eliminate acid waste and balance their pH”. Ah, there we go. Made-up hooey. Enjoy soaking if you want to smell mustard, but don’t expect anything else.

    I’ve been trying to drive a few times before when I’ve encountered the bikers in Baltimore, and they are scary because they don’t obey traffic laws, deliberately. Cars have to come to a standstill in all four directions until the bikers decide they’re done zooming around and doing wheelies.

    I mean–I’m not going to pretend like the length of that apron is even remotely practical. But I’m also not going to pretend like I’m not COMPLETELY in love with it. I loooove.

    The 7 habits of mental toughness are really invaluable. But your thrillist article was surprisingly useful for me :)

    Grit. I like it. Do what you can do is put in a positive, active view. So many times on facebook, the positive is so negative and so “f” everyone except who is not about me. Thanks.
