Actual image of me right now, still recovering from SALMONELLA. If I get one more Victorian-era pediatric illness, i’m going to start walking around in a bubble suit. To be fair, I just think it was salmonella. Why, you ask? Because cucumbers are causing outbreaks in like 15 states! Guess what I ate Tuesday night!!!! Cucumber salad!!!
I won’t be sharing my cucumber salad recipe until the trauma subsides, obviously.
I read online if you send this newsletter to a friend it might make me recover faster 👀
🧖♀️ Crown affair hair brush- Distributes oil from my scalp better than any brush I’ve ever used. My hair looks noticeably shinier and somehow gets greasy slower.
Much less expensive alternative that has great reviews here
🎭 A new comedy, Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson, came out in theaters and i’m REALLY hoping it’s the return of stupid mid 2000s comedy. Speaking of- apparently we’re getting a Happy Gilmore sequel? Unsure if this is good or if it will ruin the legacy.
🥡 Chat, are we cooked? Apparently 75% of restaurant orders are take out now. Bring back dinner with friends!!
🎧Rolling Stone made a playlist of 2000s one-hit wonders, and hearing "Girl Next Door" again instantly transported me back to my childhood bedroom (2 walls painted lime-green, 2 walls colored lavender—obviously) where I was dramatically lamenting Andrew Hopkins not liking me back. But I was genuinely shocked to see Metro Station's "Shake It" on this list. One hit wonder? They went triple platinum on my iPod Nano.
🧴 Hailey Bieber sold her skincare and cosmetic company, Rhode, to ELF Beauty in a ONE BILLION DOLLAR not a typo deal. Say what you want about Hailey, but she’s a marketing genius. Yes, there is obviously a lot of star power at play here, but she has absolutely nailed lifestyle marketing.
🐍 I’m sure you know this by now, but Taylor Swift bought back the rights to her music from Scooter “I’m-A-Dirtbag” Braun.
Signing off adhering to the BRAT* diet,

*Not the cool kind of BRAT. Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast- AKA the post-food poisoning prison
