Hard to believe Christmas is two days away … it should be a pretty low-key, relaxing holiday for me this year; I’m looking forward to it.
Entertainment
- This twitter thread on a Muslim’s first Christmas has gone viral for good reason: hilarious and so true. WHY ARE ORNAMENTS SO EXPENSIVE?!
- Sacks and the City podcast episode 17 is good.
- We also discuss me watching a Norwegian Christmas series … yes, series—two seasons, at that! It’s hilarious and real and great and you should watch it. Perfect antidote to Hallmark Christmas movies (which I also love).
Feed Me (and Wine Me)
- Super obsessed now with Continuous Glucose Monitoring company Levels. On the waitlist.
- Thinking about bringing back a Christmas cookie tradition we had with my grandma—only healthier!
- I’m just sayin’ … I’m always ahead of the trends. Three new natty wine bars are opening in Austin.
Shop, Shoppin’ away…
- I need a new bed. Digging these options: Thuma, Joybird, Article. But … am I adult enough to justify paying $1K OR MORE for a bed? Or shall I keep to my roots and pick a $200 one?
- Thanks to an absolutely abysmal season, Texans gear is heavily discounted right now—I picked up more than I needed, including a Hopkins jersey because I’m not bitter or anything.
- Hill City, aka men’s Athleta, announced its closure earlier this year, but they’re down to their last offerings. I love this $35 merino hoody, a steal.
