Rat's Nest Week 20

Enjoy!!!!

• Time machine- IT’S BACK. In case you don’t still have your crusty Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette from 2009 that you saved your first paycheck for- Urban Decay has temporarily brought back the OG Naked palette *swoon*

• Book recco- Educated by Tara Westover is an absolute emotional roller coaster of a memoir. Tara tells the story of leaving her survivalist/bonkers family and going on to get a PhD, despite not having any formal education until she was 17.

• Spooky season- Halloween themed quarter socks I couldn’t resist

🚬 do not under any circumstances agree to this

In case you missed it- Raygun is an Australian “break dancer” who competed in the Olympics and had some…. interesting moves.

Youtube Short showing you her bonkers dancing here. I only wish to one day have the delusional confidence that my dancing (which is not far off from hers) will get me into the Olympics.

• McDonald's is selling you nostalgia with 6 new collectible cups- if you see me going through the drive thru 6 times this week, mind your own business. I NEED the beanie baby one.

• The CDC dropped new IUD insertion guidelines that include recommending pain management for insertion- which is about 50 years too late but at least it’s finally happened.

• Olympic swimmers are drinking Coke to stave off Seine bacteria- no, i did not make this up. It’s a real headline. Turns out drinking a Coke might help reduce your risk of e.coli after possible exposure. Wish I knew that when I was in the Dominican Republic a few years ago (I got e.coli and had baby’s first emergency room visit).

Snack attack-some (mostly) healthy snacks- if you have a kid I think these are also perfect for lunches:

• Bear Snacks Fruit Splits

• Omega-3 Trail Mix Packs

• Organic White Cheddar Puffs

• Made Good Strawberry Crispy Rice Squares (these are also at some Whole Foods, they have freeze dried strawberries on top)

Signing off with Famous Amos cookies as a little treat,

Kate

P.S. If you enjoyed this, send it to a friend. If you didn’t, send it to the Dutch team that dethroned our women’s water polo team for the first time since it became an Olympic sport.
