But first: crispy, hotel-caliber sheets (for 30% off)

here's the plan

You worked hard enough this week. Let us plan your weekend…

  1. 1.

    Dinner is the best. But choosing what to eat, every single night, is the worst. Enter: Jenn Luekes brilliant new cookbook, Don’t Think About Dinner. Her budget-friendly grocery lists and easy, delicious weeknight menus take the decision fatigue out of prep and planning. Want to try a recipe before you buy? Start with these Crunchy Pork Lettuce Wraps. Consider our never-been-used meal prep containers ready.

  2. 2.

    There’s no better time than the weekend to declutter, especially once you find out about the nine beauty products you’re probably storing in your bathroom…and shouldn’t be. We’re definitely guilty of #9.

  3. 3.

    Not to be dramatic, but this trending bag style might change your life. It has nothing to do with the designer, and everything to do with the design.

    PONIES
  4. 4.

    In fictional CIA-speak, PONIES stands for “persons of no interest.” But we’re extremely interested in this bingeable Peacock thriller about two Cold War-era secretaries — played by Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson — turned operatives whose husbands die in a mysterious plane crash. As they try to uncover the circumstances behind their newfound widow status, they find themselves in increasingly precarious, sometimes sexy scenarios — wearing some of the best ’70s-inspired coats we’ve ever seen. 

  5. 5.

    Men? With a podcast? Groundbreaking. But No Such Thing actually is. Each week, best friends Devan, Manny, and Noah settle “dumb arguments” that have plagued or divided them, alongside expert-backed advice. Their banter is so charming that one reviewer, who tends “to shy away from shows hosted entirely by men,” is willing to make an exception. Episode highlights include: “Is the pullout method fine actually?”, “How often do you actually need to shower?”, and the episode we recommend starting with: “Why can’t men find anything?” Great question.

My Non-Negotiables
Non-Negotiables

Happy (almost) weekend. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about vacation prep. With a long weekend coming up, I’m taking a road trip to Florida for some much-needed fun and R&R. I love using mini getaways as an excuse to finally wear outfits (especially swimsuits) that have been patiently waiting in my closet. But before I hit the road, here’s what’s on my to-do list:

  • Going with a friend to my favorite Southwestern restaurant in Atlanta before it closes. We’ll order one (or two) specialty cocktails and I’ll wear my new favorite boots from Naturalizer, this cropped-yet-comfortable Zara sweater, and my latest obsession: these Abercrombie jeans.

  • Avoiding any last-minute rushing — been there, done that, wrote the book — by doing laundry ahead of time and actually packing my Brookstone carry-on bag early. It has a charging port on the side, which is a total game changer for travel.

  • Cleaning my apartment, so I can come home to a fresh, calm space. That includes doing the dishes, tidying my cat’s food and litter station, sweeping, and wiping down the bathroom. Thank me later.

  • Taking my JBL speaker out of retirement. It’s water-resistant and the sound quality stays unbelievably crisp — even when you crank it up to Ibiza levels.
