Hello my friends!
I’m not sure I could tell you about my week. It was mostly blurry though I’ve heard talk of eclipses and Mercury retrograde and what I do know is that it has felt like my feet aren’t quite on the ground but I’m moving on through.
There’s a light dusting of flour still on my counter from making these doughnuts as a treat for my Yoga Teacher Training friends. The recipe is a cinnamon-sugar dusted version of a recipe found in my brunch book Over Easy if you’re looking for a good time. I’ve promised myself that I’ll clean the mess up in the morning.
In the mail this week I received an advanced copy of Julia Turshon’s forthcoming book, Now and Again. She’s a deeply thoughtful cook and writer and she’ll be coming to The Bakehouse this Fall for an event. It’s all good news.
The offering this week is on the lighthearted side though the very serious things in the world are unrelenting. This is just where I landed. I hope it resonates. More than anything, I hope you enjoy your Sunday.
Here we are:
โข This is super illuminating: My Life As A Psychopath. (The Cut)
โข This is spot on and I hadn’t put enough consideration towards this issue until now: The Ethical Dilemma of Highbrow True Crime. (Vulture)
โข Words from BEYONCE in Vogue. She’s gorgeous inside. I mean… really.
โข You Are Not Original Or Creative On Instagram… aaaahem, but have you seen @drakeoncake. (Quartz)
โข Listen, we’ve got the mess that is Bachelor In Paradise on our televisions and this news that Barbara Streisand cloned her dogs. It’s just a very strange world we live in. Inside the Very Big, Very Controversial Business of Dog Cloning. (Vanity Fair)
โข We know by now that Helen Rosner is right about things: It’s Time To Admit That Iceberg Is A Superior Lettuce (The New Yorker)
โข This book is completely expanding the way I think about hosting workshops, retreats and even dinner parties. The Art of Gathering. (Amazon)
โข Erin McDowell made Sheet Pan Shortcake and now is as good as it gets! Wouldn’t you say? (Food52)
โข I made New Orleans Red Beans and Rice for a workshop at The Bakehouse this week and I’d just like to say, don’t sleep on that recipe – it’s really delicious. (Joy the Baker)
โข If you’ll indulge me, do you have a favorite Glossier product? Is it this Boy Brow? (Glossier)
โข Kristin made the coolest cocktail skewers out of modeling clay and I am very into it! (Dine x Design)
โข Things I read now: What is the meaning of OM (Gaia).
โข Welp, I could get lost in Bear Cam for a good long while.
I hope it’s a wonderful day!
My love to you.

I’m gonna be super controversial here: I hate boy brow. It’s so unnaturally dark (on my dark brown/ black eyebrows) and gloopy and wet and fake looking. And I have their matte lip gloss that dries my lips out so bad they literally get chapped within an hour of wearing it. Not a fan.
Love boy brow and looveeeeeeeee the two masks, used one right after the other. Take or leave the mascara though. :D
My coworkers and I are obsessed with the bear cams from Explore! I highly recommend this one, too: https://explore.org/livecams/panda-bears/china-panda-cam-2.
The Bear Cam is so cool! Thanks for sharing
Boy Brow X 100. I’ve used a lot of brow gels and this one so lives up to the hype.
My other Glossier fave is the Generation G sheer matte lip color. I use it on both lips and cheeks and I find it more forgiving/blendable and easy to use (for me and my weird skin) than Cloud Paint.
If you like Bachelor in Paradise, you’ll love Love Island (if you haven’t heard of it already).
Glossier boybrow is lovely, but you can easily find (cheaper) dupes like Essence “make me brow”, which in my opinion, works just as well! I love their cheek stains and their extremely gentle-but effective-rose face wash. Absolutely delightful and definite worth a try!
I am a years long reader but I never comment. Anyhow, please keep sharing positive and enlightening things! We all have web browsers. We all know how awful the world is. I personally enjoy being reminded of how great the world is, too.
The doughnuts looks yummy!
my favorite glossier product is balm dotcom because it broke me of my lip balm “addiction.” i used to keep a lip product in every bag/coat pocket/bedside table and apply multiple times a day, knowing that what people said about lip balms keeping your lips dehydrated were clearly true. i tried balm dotcom and eventually swapped out all my other products for those tubes. it works so well that i eventually didn’t need to apply as often, and now i don’t even feel the need to use lip balm every day. pretty crazy.
that being said, i’ve collected most of their other products and use boy brow, haloscope, stretch concealer, and skin tint in my everyday routine. their products are great for a no-makeup makeup look.
I to love those amazing looking donuts. Yummy! There are several other recipes I love as well. Thank you!
I love this series – thank you for this corner of kindness!
However, Iโm on day 42 of a Whole 90 and you can bet your biscuits that I saved the article header/picture as my lock screen.
Love Cloud Paint and Wowder! Have gotten through an entire tube of Boy Brow, but probably won’t buy it again TBH. I like my Brow Wiz by Anastasia too much.
Oh my days those doughnuts look unreal!!!!

Oh shoot- now I’m going to spend this entire day watching the Bear Cam while I make Red Beans & Rice.
Bear Cam is THE BEST! Sharks in The Atlantic & The Beluga Whale Boat are both mesmerizing as well….
I love Boybrow, but Cloud Paint in puff is where it’s at. BEST CHEEK STAIN EVER.
I agree – I have all of the Cloud Paints and they are pretty much the only blush I use. I mix them with each other or use them on their own, they’re super versatile and natural-looking. Truly the best make up product they offer.
I also want to shout out to the basic face powder- perfectly light and doesnโt make you look too cakey or flat. Also haloscope in quartz. And sorry lip in Jam- looks good on everyone Iโve forced to try it!
The Beyonce piece! What a great way to start the week!
Just put a hold on The Art of Gathering at my library, and very intrigued by the sheet pan shortcake recipe! Thanks, as always. xo
Glossier Boy Brow is AHHmazing! I donโt ever want to use any other brow product. For me, at least, itโs their best product.
I never realized that I needed boy brow until I started using it. I’m addicted.
Wow, I am impressed by Beyonce!
