Hello friends!
I’m in denial about the current calendar date so we’re not going to talk about how close to Christmas and the new year we are. ย Denial is a powerful force often enforced by cake.
I hope you’ve had a great week, whether or not denial is part of it. ย Are you that person that shipped all your packages and answered all of your emails? ย I’d like to high-five you.
Two things I don’t know how to talk about are Star Wars and Donald Trump. ย They have nothing in common besides the fact that I just can’t, with both of them.
Here’s the Internet. ย It’s ours / not ours:
โข ย Lessons in Don’t Be A Bad Dude: ย “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli arrested for securities fraud. ย
โข ย The world we live in. ย Facing the same threat, Los Angeles and New York take different tacks.
โข ย Only women know aboutย Crying in the Bathroom. ย I cry when I’m angry… and then I get more angry that I’m crying and my crying might beย interpreted as weakness, and then I cry more. ย It’s an awkward, messy cycle, oftenย executed in a bathroom.
โข ย This woman, a CHAMPION! ย Serena Williams, Sportsperson of the Year.
โข ย “Psychologists donโt just distinguish between two kinds of motivation. They also identify two kinds of well-being: happiness, which is a positive, momentary emotional tone, and meaningfulness, the sense that oneโs life has broad value and purpose.” ย ย The Spiritual Life of the Long Distance Runnerย Really great read!ย
โข ย It’s a journey,ย big time.ย Viola Davis and Edie Falco Talk Race, Sex and Life Before Stardom
โข ย 6 Reasons I’ll Never Wear a Bra Again. ย I can’t seem to make a decent cup of coffee or write a coherent email with a bra on, soย we’re all different ladies, aren’t we?
โข ย Battling December skin withย DIY Skin Brightening Toner.
โข ย Drop everything: ย Fashion Santa.
โข ย Jon madeย Breakfast BLTsย and my mouth is watering.
โข ย This week I debutedย a passion project I’ve been working on for the past few weeks:ย Drake on Cake. ย It exploded on the internet more than anything I’ve ever done… so, wait.. HUH? ย Yea. ย That happened. ย My favorite was that NYMag was snarky about it. ย How long were you holding on to that Simba reference?
It’s almost Christmas, people. ย Don’t worry. ย It’s not real. ย (Help.)
xo Joy

Huge fan of yours. Love the daily blogs (and I’m a savory cook as baking is not my thing but your sassy wit is terrific.) but I so look forward to the Sunday edition. The story on going braless was spot on. Being a woman with small breasts, this story has resonated with me. I go braless all the time and I’m 63.
Also, the breakfast BLT was delish to look at and make.????
Thanks, Joy. I love your style.
I always enjoy your posts they never fail to make me smile, but right now I would love to know where to find the recipe for the cake pictured in this post.
It’s a store-bought cake!
So, I live under a large rock…Drake is a…singer? Involved in Star Wars? Running for office? Seriously, NY Mag snarking at you, always such a nice person, reminds me of all the reasons I no longer subscribe. Happy Sunday before the day we shall not mention. Even if I have to wear a bra all the time and hate it.
I think that NY Mag has to be snarky. Like… they can’t even help it.
there was a nice article about Drake on Cake on BuzzFeed though! (: you are wonderful!
I am loving the cake in this post!! Do you have the recipe? I could eat a slice or two right now. The BLT looks good too. Maybe I am hungry?
Oh my lord I am totally with you on the crying when angry! I hate it haha as soon as I start getting angry then the tears just start coming, and then I just look pathetic and can no longer make a valid point!
We understand one another!
I think NY Mag is just jealous. That was mean. No cake for them.
Drake on Cake makes me want to shout from the rooftops. I’m not a Drake fan but I’m a you fan and Drake on Cake just seems like a winner.
I always look forward to your “Let it be Sunday” posts! They are the best!!
Gorgeous photos!! Nice

I particularly love Fashion Santa!
How very douchey of NYMag.
Oh Joy, you are such a beautiful human x
The first paragraph of the bra story mentions crying in the bathroom, too!
I’ve been both a JTB and Drake fan for years. Worlds colliding. Store bought cake? Love you even more.
