Have a Lovely Weekend. | Cup of Jo


What are you up to this weekend? Our team came to Seattle, and now I’m spending the weekend with my twin sister and niece. Do you live on the West Coast? I always forget how much the air smells like pine and eucalyptus! Hope you have a good weekend, and here are a few links from around the web…

Omg, I love this whole look.

Are you a local? “In New England, the rule is simple. You are considered a local as soon as you have three grandparents who were born in the town where you live.”

Inside Out 2 is changing how therapists talk to their patients. “I’ve been stealing lines from the movie and quoting them to adults, not telling them that I’m quoting,” said Regine Galanti, a psychologist.” (NYTimes gift link)

Wait, we should put what in our chocolate cake?

Mark your calendars for Bad Sisters season two.

Wow, could you live as a couple in a 74-square-foot apartment in the Netherlands? The bedroom is gorgeous but I’d be so claustrophobic. (NYTimes gift link)

How cool is this French bag?

Beautiful photos of fireworks.

If Tim Walz is America’s dad, these are America’s other family members, haha.

27 travel hacks, including popping a “dryer sheet in your luggage to keep it smelling clean and fresh.”

The highest form of intelligence.

Finally, this week we did a Big Salad issue about exes, and I talked on our podcast with my college boyfriend about our relationship, breakup, awkward run-ins, and the key to becoming friends. Five readers also shared their painfully hilarious ex stories. Read the issue here, if you’d like (for paid subscriptions).

Plus, two reader comments:

Says Wednesday on a scavenger hunt parenting tip: “I have an 11-year-old boy hanging out at home all week — his friends are all on vacation, so it’s just the two of us. To avoid going nuts, I drew up a theme: ‘Around the World in NYC.’ Today is Italy so we went to Eataly and ate fresh pasta. We’ll go out for gelato later, then we’ll watch an old Italian movie. I’m excited for tomorrow: England!”

Says Cait on have a beautiful weekend: “I actually pulled out the middle-of-the-date questionnaire during my first first date in 15 years. I had forgotten the contents but remembered it was funny, so I showed it to my date in an effort to seem cool. We read it together at the bar and then got to the question about whether or not we were going to kiss. READER, WE DID.”
