Watch to nurture…….
My Lady Jane This show was everything that I wanted season 3 Bridgerton to be; sexy, fun, whimsical, and romantic. A twist on a historical figure, taken from the novel of the same name, this show explores what would have happened if Jane Gray wasn’t killed after 9 days of being the monarch, in a world with magical human hybrids. The enemies to lovers trope was top tier. It was an easy watch. ANND it was obvious that these female characters were written by women for women and isn’t that a beautiful thing?
The Decameron This is a stupid smart show; spoofy and dark, centered around the bubonic plague. It has a cast of comedic stars and things get ridiculous and raunchy. I don’t like my tv series to be taken too seriously, and this fits the bill.

Smile by Ally Hamilton I took an incredible yoga workshop with Ally Hamilton in 2011 and have been following her life ever since. (Hint:It was still one of the best yoga workshops I’ve ever taken. )This piece is from her weekly email and every word spoke to my own experience of being a woman. At this time when women are purposely being divided culturally and political; I found this piece to be medicinal in its rawness.
How America's Fastest Swimmers Use Math to Win Gold by Jordana Cepelewicz I’ve never been one for numbers, however, I am always fascinated and in awe of Olympians. This article walks through the math behind successful swimming, using body and pool metrics to determine outcomes.
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J Maas. Yes, I become an ACOTAR girl. Thanks Booktok. However, it was a slow burn. The first book took me FOREVER to get through. But once I made my way to the second book, things picked up rather quickly becoming an all consuming thing. I think I even had a book hangover- longing for the characters and scenarios after I finished them. Am I a fantasy girlie now???? Guess so. I loved the world building. I loved the characters, particularly the flawed ones struggling with their own sense of selves- because duhhh, relatable. And the spice wasn’t so bad either. My favorites were A Court of Mist and Fury and A Court of Silver Flames.
Exalted by Anna Dorn This juicy slice of fiction is a tale of two anti-heroines. One- an instragram astrologer who makes up her content and pines for a mysterious/ quintessentially LA man in her DMs, the other is a devotee of this instragram account, recently devastated and lost after a long-term relationship ends. This book is so LA. It feels like Lana Del Rey had a hand in its making. It dissects the culture of online worshiping, while simultaneously, dealing with the effects of real-world relationships. Great beach read.
Dieting Keeps Us Sedated by Chrissy King I can’t open my instagram without some piece of content around Ozempic popping up. Thinness is back- in fact, it never really left. Chrissy is able to articulate this phenomenon in a way that my own words have failed me; it is no coincidence that obsessive body behavior and curbing women’s rights are heightened right now.
