Libby is and forever will be THAT GIRL and I recently discovered you can subscribe to basically any magazine via the newsstand feature. I am really enjoying flipping through NYmag and trashy celeb mags like Us Weekly on my phoneāit feels like all the guilty pleasure of scrolling though social media but infinitely more fun and less draining. I also like reading food mags and the New Yorker!

I have always wanted to be the ākind of adult who reads The New Yorkerā. Iāve signed up for and canceled the subscription multiple times over a decade, feeling guilty as the unread magazines stack up on my coffee table.
But here I am, in my mid-30s, actually reading the long-form articles because Iāve replaced scrolling with reading about The Knot scamming bridal businesses and deep sea treasure hunting. Itās no stretch to say I get a lot of my information and quest for curiosity from reading this mag in digital form. And if you donāt want to splurge for a subscription, you can access the magazine digitally through your library and the Libby app. Join me in living out your aspirations!

Spending theš°guilts me into getting through them. Itās nice to get something fun in the mail and support writers. I subscribe to The Baffler and The Drift and The New York Review of Books refuses to stop coming to my house. Would love to learn what other folks are subscribing to but I will say that I personally think the New Yorker allows articles to go on for too long.

A subscription I end up keeping because Iāll always end up reading all of their various publications (Vulture, the Cut, Gub Street). My parents kept a subscription and Iāve read it forever. Iām not local to New York but something about it feels chic, metropolitan. I bought a sweatshirt they had during a subscriber sale almost solely because it felt like something Carrie Bradshaw would have.

I went to the Korean spa for the first time with my bestie last night and it was a profoundly nourishing experience on every level. we were having deep heart to hearts while schvitzing it out in the sauna and it felt like my soul was being cleansed. there are these tubs of different temperatures and this basin full of mugwort water with empty bowls so you can pour it over yourself, and all these magical heated rooms with different scents and properties. I also saw people carrying giant bottles of spa water with chopped mango and mint and they were like $20 each but they looked sooo good. next time I also want to go to the Korean restaurant inside and the tea room.

this movie really defined an entire formative era of my life. I was an awkward frizzy-haired tween with glasses when this came out and I saw so much of myself in Mia. my best friend and I had the soundtrack basically memorized (Aaron Carterās cover of Itty Bitty Little Pretty One lives rent free in my head, as does Miracles Happen by Myra). the love interest Michael (aka Robert Schartzman of Rooney fame) imprinted on my eros and continues to influence my type in masc women to this day. the movie also led me to the (superior if Iām being honest) book series, which played a HUGE role in shaping my taste and sense of humor and interest in pop culture references
