Phew — this was quite a week. Mine was a tough one — a friend of mine passed away on Tuesday, so I’m a bit low, as you might imagine. I hope you’re doing okay, and have a wonderful weekend planned. If you’re a mom, or have your mom with you still, I hope you have a great Mother’s Day. Please give her a hug for me. And if you are girding your loins to get through Mother’s Day — I feel you.
TONAL SHIFT KLAXON:
Monday was the Met Gala and we had complete coverage: A live chat! A post-mortem at Drinks With Broads (including Heather’s 27 questions about The Devil Wears Prada 2)! Full red carpet coverage here! Catch up, if you missed anything.
Heather was also on the Back Row podcast with Amy Odell, discussing the entire thing. You can listen to/watch that on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
Also at DWB this week, Heather runs down the most interesting bathrooms of her recent trip to Copenhagen and Budapest, and I investigate (obviously) an insane underground bunker-house.
Also here at GFY, I rounded up a bunch of random things that might bring you joy — like a watering can shaped like a hedgehog, or a tote bag covered in butter wrappers!

Wait — what??! What’s the Deal with the End of ‘The Bear’ Prequel, ‘Gary’? I didn’t even know this…happened. Or existed! Spoilers, obviously. I’m tired, boss, I can’t deal with this right now.

I’m working on putting together a round-up of good sunscreens — tis the season — and noticed that Eadem has a new SPF 50+ sunscreen that’s also a primer. It’s in stick form and you can also use it on your lips, apparently? We have so many new advances in sunscreen technology. I will report back!
This is game where you try to guess the Wikipedia article from its categories! It’s harder than you think sometimes and really fun.

Just noticed that my favorite bra at Eby is on sale in certain colors; I really like this bra, it’s very comfortable. (Also on sale in rhubarb, a fun color for a bra.)
