TGIM! (thank God it’s Monday- part sarcasm, part yay for Rat’s Nest!)
Same, girl.
🚨 SOS- Do you have a car you love? If so, please hit reply to this email and tell me all about it. My 2012 Ford Focus it on it’s last leg and I fear it may be time for us to part (cue “Gotta Go My Own Way” from High School Musical)
If I still have this whip in a month it’s because I can’t let go (and spent a lot of money to fix it)
☀️ Uniqlo Linen-Blend Easy pant- I’ve owned these for a whopping 24 hours, but I immediately loved them. They’re easy, breezy, and will hopefully minimize the swamp ass I get in the 100 degree Memphis summers.
😓 Speaking of swamp season, the new Kosas loose setting powder is my secret weapon for not looking like a grease ball by noon every day
self explanatory- 10 of my 73 open safari tabs

🧬 A 9-month-old baby with a fatal genetic disorder just became the first human to receive personalized in vivo CRISPR therapy (aka gene editing) and it WORKED!!! This is bonkers. Modern science is on fire.
💉 Trump said one of his supporters is on the “fat shot” and “it’s not working”- a line that would be iconic if he weren’t President of The United States (you have to watch the video, I laughed out loud). In a better universe, he’s just a rogue stand-up comic and I’m at his sold-out Vegas residency.
the $50 Seed probiotics I bought better start pulling their weight around here (it’s my fault they don’t work, I forget to take them)
Signing off searching for a discount on the Paddington Bear sweater,
