Weekly Roundup #83: Scrunchies and Halsey
Reading
Little Voices, Vanessa Lillie. Y’all. This book sucks…ok, admittedly it was on Amazon Prime’s Monthly Free list so I get you get what you pay (or didn’t) for, but still. I hated the protagonist, the dialogue was cheesy more often than not and those goddamn voices…UGH. I can’t ha.
Halsey Isn’t Gonna Be the Pop Star She’s Supposed to Be, Cosmopolitan. I got my issue in the mail last week and freaked out when I saw it was my one true lady love, Halsey. Even if you don’t love her like I do, I highly recommend reading this for a look at today’s “pop star.” And the “Turn the Beat Around” video was super fun to watch! 🌈 I can’t waaaaaait for “Manic!!”
Scrunchies Are Little Rainbow Reminders That Millennials Are Old, The Atlantic. I actually never thought of it that way. Maybe because I think of scrunchies as a mostly early ’90s thing, aka literally when I was born, so it doesn’t make me feel old. I’m personally ALL here for it.
The 10 Best Cheeses to Buy at Trader Joes, According to Experts, Food & Wine. The MOST important listicle of all. I’m personally a fan of the Unexpected Cheddar, but looks like I have a lot more to taste test!
How Lizzo Does That, The New York Times. Damn, all my fave ladies are being interviewed this week! And my girl loves her Sunday Riley, which I can fully relate to.
Now Imaginary Friends Are Going Extinct, Too, The Cut. “I think that children are not allowed to be ‘bored’ any more” 😱
Fighting the Shame of Skin Picking, The New York Times. Ok, I thought this was going to be way different...I thought it would be about people who can stop picking at blemishes or something. This was way more serious. However, if you suffer from this kind of condition, there’s lots of other people out there like you!
Post Malone Hollywood’s Bleeding, Pitchfork. “These moments—when he dares to suck, gloriously and bravely—is when Post Malone ascends.”
He was bullied for his homemade University of Tennessee T-shirt. The school just made it an official design, CNN. Excuse me while I go sob in the bathroom for a few minutes. 😭😭😭
Sony to produce a special 40th anniversary Walkman, ABC. I never had one, but, man, the nostalgia is hitting me anyway. I kind of want one…
Listening
Graveyard, Halsey.
Diamond Days, Elephante.
La La Land, Bryce Vine. I’ve been on a real Bryce Vine kick lately.
Check out my Tunes highlight for my most-recent listens!
Watching
The Sinner, USA. I binged Season 2 on Netflix in two days…it was utterly addicting and I cannot WAIT to see Matt Bomer in Season 3!
The History of Music Video Dancing (w/ Jennifer Lopez & Jimmy Fallon), The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. We can all only hope to look at least HALF as good as JLo at 50.
Loving
@mandimakesminis. Ummm, I’ve always loved mini things—I used to go to the craft store with my mom and pick up like mini pans or flower pots, etc. to create little homes I created for people I made out of clothespins—so I am OBSESSED with this account! Thank you, Heyday newsletter!
