Watching: Chef's Table: Noodles
Who else has missed Chef’s Table and was so happy to see its return to Netflix? The first one with Funke…loved it so much.

In The Kitchen: Hawkins New York Essential Waffle Dish Towels
I think I found the ultimate dish drying towels! Well technically my husband found them and they’re amazing. Better than every other dish towel in our drawer. They’re super absorbent, quick to dry and a great size. 10/10 recommend for your dish drying needs.

Wearing: Broadway Frames, 725 Sneakers, Rib Kick Flares & May Lindstrom
I keep reaching for these classic Garrett Light Broadway frames, Olivine/Dark Moss New Balance 725 Sneakers for soccer-mom Saturdays, my Donni kick flares in black with loafers/ballet flats/jelly flats/heels for an easy uniform and May Lindstrom’s Blue Cocoon mask for an overnight facial — it’s so calming, hydrating and lux.

ALRIGHT, LET’S GET INTO IT:
Glimmers: A Simple Way to Find Magic in the Ordinary

In a world where stress is as common as forgotten passwords, “glimmers” have emerged as a nice gentle antidote. Think of glimmers as the opposite of triggers—they’re those fleeting, often overlooked moments that spark joy, happiness, calm, gratitude and connection. Tiny flashes of light that reduce stress in the middle of our overly caffeinated, perpetually overwhelmed lives. It’s the smell of your fresh coffee brewing, the feel of sunshine on your skin, a hummingbird outside your window, your favorite song coming on, or the sound of rain gently tapping on your window. If triggers are the emotional equivalent of a cold shower (not the wellness ritual kind but the kind when the hot water is out), glimmers are like someone handing you a cup of tea and wrapping you in a blanket, they’re little life rafts for our nervous system.
