On My Radar

This week was a little bit tenser than usual. There isn’t really any external stressors, it’s all coming internally! I have to say, it’s the least pleasant kind of stress. The little voice inside my head can be quite, quite mean.
Not to say that the week wasn’t without its highs! (Plus, if I’ve learned anything in my 25 years of life, it’s that pizza works wonders… and a touch of Ben and Jerry’s Milk and Cookies ice cream.)
Monday was the best day weather-wise. I spent my lunch time outside with Teddy and Garrett out on the stoop. It was a bit chilly, but nice enough to pretend like it was legitimately spring outside. (Yep, still wearing my favorite sneaks!)
Yesterday I met with Meredith, the brains behind Minnie and Emma. We had met at the Plaza’s Palm Court (extra fitting for the new line of palm print iPhone cases!) for afternoon tea. How stinking cute is the Eloise tea desserts? Cotton candy?! I die! I think I need to go back to the Plaza once a week now…
Now what’s on my radar for the week:
I was pretty young when the Super Toy Run contest went on and we weren’t exactly allowed to watch a lot of Nickelodeon, but I absolutely remember seeing the commercials for this thing on TV. What kid wouldn’t want to run rampant through a toy store and get to keep everything she wanted??? This article is equal parts entertaining, fascinating, and 1990s. Love it.

TWO // HBO Now

I’ve never been in a household where we had HBO. The closest I get is when I’m in a hotel and they happen to have a couple of the movie channels. HBO just came out with a digital subscription service… and the first month is free. Not really the best news if you need to be productive, but I have to admit that it’s pretty great. (Garrett and I started watching The Jinx and we. are. hooked.)

THREE // Air Canada Flight Finds Stranded Australian Yacht

In a world where it often feels like there isn’t enough good news to go around… this was a good piece of news. A simple story, but one that could have ended in a really different way.

FOUR // Strong Is the New Pretty Photo Series

“Whoever they were, however they were, was worthy of an image. Whatever they were was good enough.” I can’t get over how amazing and beautiful these photos are.

FIVE // Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Analysis

Dying. Dy. Ing. My mom and I have a slight addiction to Reese’s peanut butter eggs. Only the eggs. I will be okay with a heart. But no pumpkins. No pieces. No cups. Who knew there was a different ratio for each kind?

Anything fun on your radar from the week?
