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.)

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

I always look forward to your “Let it be Sunday” posts! They are the best!!
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 think NY Mag is just jealous. That was mean. No cake for them.
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 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?
there was a nice article about Drake on Cake on BuzzFeed though! (: you are wonderful!
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.
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!
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.
