It was a fantastically funny and dark 8 episodes full of intrigue, sex, lies, drama, and, of course, murder. It’s an easy, juicy, fun-to-read book that you can finish in a few days. Anon Pls is the seemingly autobiographical story of a fashion assistant who starts an Instagram account as a side hustle and ends up blowing up. ![]() Elizabeth stands up for herself and women everywhere before anyone was doing that, She is such a fun character to read and I’d definitely recommend this book for something to read over the holidays.Īnon Pls by Deuxmoi: If you follow Deuxmoi, the anonymous celebrity/influencer gossip account, on Instagram, you might get a kick out of this juicy novel that she wrote (anonymously, of course). She ends up as a single mother and finally a famous cooking show host who mixes her love for chemistry and cooking on-screen. Set in the 1960s, the book’s main character, Elizabeth Zott, is a chemist in a time where no one seemed to take female scientists seriously. It was quirky and funny yet smart and powerful. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus: I finished this NY Times Bestseller and GMA Book Club Pick and absolutely loved it. Holiday Dessert RecipesĤ Festive Holiday Cocktails (that could also be mocktails) WHAT I’M READING & WATCHING I haven’t cooked a proper meal for my family in weeks and feel extreme guilt about that (I realize I shouldn’t but I can’t help it!) so will probably be going way over the top with cooking and baking over the next two weeks. I’m also going to make at least one of not all of the holiday dessert recipes listed below. Obviously, I’ll be going with Julia Child’s recipe. We are hosting on Christmas Day and I decided I’m going to make beef bourguignon for the first time. This week is all about prep: all of the wrapping, last minute shopping, and food planning. I did take a fun gummy one of the nights, however, and had a great time! And I woke up the next mornings feeling great. We had two holiday parties this weekend and the craziest part is that I didn’t even want to drink. It’s hard to put into words how much my mental state has improved since I cut out alcohol but the last few weeks of feeling good have really solidified my decision. I attribute this mostly to my sobriety experiment which has turned from an experiment into a lifestyle that somehow feels completely natural. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still stressful and terrible and I hate seeing them in even one iota of pain, but it feels like a big shift. When my kids are sick, I usually get terrible anxiety but for the first time (ever?) I have been able to keep it (mostly) at bay. ![]() Here’s hoping this Christmas isn’t that dramatic #fingerscrossed. I keep thinking back to last year when we all had COVID and Luca had to go to the ER on Christmas Eve because of his breathing. This article really hit the nail on the head for me, and I know so many other people out there can relate. I feel like a broken record talking about all of our sick days over the last two years but it is next level out here, you guys. After a month of every virus under the sun running through our house (and every house, it seems), a fun and sparkly holiday is exactly what we need. ![]()
