friday cool dumb shit v3
it's a thing now!
Hello and happy friday my little capitalist chickens! This week has been an absolute doozy for our house, with illnesses and Canes playoff tickets and a batshit crazy client who texted me nonstop all week long as if both he and I are family-free.
Skipping right to the list of shit because I just don’t have anymore fun stories in me and also I’m super late sending this, not that anyone cares. Plus it’s like every food blogger everywhere: we just want to see the recipe, no one cares about Sundays at grandma’s house and how your auntie shoved plates of chicken legs in everyone’s faces or whatever.
I feel both tacky, late to the party, and also like a genius for this first one because I only recently discovered this, and it’s not like something that is a best kept secret, it’s a thing that’s literally been around for years and ok suspense over because it’s PRESS ON NAILS. Ridiculous, I know. I saw a little Olive & June box at Target a couple months ago and decided for $10 I’d try it. I’ve never had great nails, with the exception of pregnancy and breastfeeding time, and painting nails twice a week isn’t something I want to make time for. So I’m a convert to press-ons. Low maintenance, easy and relatively quick to apply, trim them how I like, and I can usually get a whole 2 weeks out of one set. Supposedly if you remove them nicely/slowly with warm water you can reuse a set but I haven’t tried that yet. No code or affiliate, but get a box from their website or Target, or Chill Tips brand which I also loved from local Raleigh spot Edge of Urge.
Per my insane client work load this past week, I haven’t been reading many of my Substack subscriptions but I do have a new one - new to Substack at least - I want to recommend by my friend Alisha: Mind Body Brand, a weekly newsletter encouraging entrepreneurs to prioritize rest. SO my jam. She’s been building her community off of Substack and I’m excited she’s bringing it to this platform. Give her a read! Can’t wait to see where she takes it and read more of her writing.
This boxy linen v-neck tee from Target is my new go-to. I got it in blue and as I looked up the link, I bought it in the other 3 colors because I love it that much. It might qualify as a slight crop, but isn’t labeled as such. I got a medium, and love the longer sleeves almost to the elbow and the deep V but not deep enough I can’t wear a sports bra or bralette underneath. The boxy cut makes it drape nicely and the linen is soft and thin to keep cool in summer. The cream and pink I’m going to guess will be a bit sheer? Live your life, wear a contrasting bra, make it cute.
This isn’t me recommending them yet but I want to know what we think about Substack Notes???
This is my favorite gift to send to new parents, or really any people with a new baby.
That’s it from me so I can get this sent and have it still be Friday. Plus Canes are playing right now and I am apparently very into Stanley Cup Playoffs this year??? BYE.
