As the weekend approaches, many of us begin to ponder how to make the most of our time off. Whether it’s attending a lively protest or enjoying a cozy breakfast with friends, there’s always something to look forward to. Tomorrow, I’ll be participating in the No Kings protest, and I can’t wait to connect with fellow Cup of Jo readers over brunch on Sunday. Here’s hoping you also have a delightful weekend ahead, filled with enjoyable activities and some intriguing online discoveries.
Here’s a compilation of fascinating links from around the internet that are sure to pique your interest!
Must-try products and inspiring art
Starting with beauty essentials, the one product I swear by every morning is a particular hair serum that works wonders. It keeps my locks healthy and vibrant, making it a staple in my routine. What’s your go-to hair product?
If you’re in the mood for some cinematic entertainment, Keanu Reeves’ upcoming film, Good Fortune, appears to be an exciting watch. Mark your calendars and get ready for a fun movie night!
Artistic inspiration
Moving onto the realm of art, have you seen the breathtaking floral photographs by Irving Penn? His exquisite ability to capture the beauty of flowers is something truly special. These images evoke a sense of tranquility and appreciation for nature’s artistry.
Speaking of art, I came across an enthralling home tour of artist Pauline Caulfield in London. I must admit, the way she styled a plaid sofa is unexpectedly chic and has completely redefined my perception of plaid in interior design.
Food and drink ideas
Now, let’s switch gears to food! If you’re looking for a new drink to enjoy, why not try making a non-alcoholic Negroni? It’s a refreshing beverage that captures the essence of the classic cocktail without the alcohol. You can find a fantastic recipe linked from the New York Times.
On a different note, who’s in the mood for some delicious spinach and ricotta gnudi? This comforting dish is perfect for a cozy weekend dinner with friends or family.
Fun with nostalgia
Reflecting on childhood desserts, how many of you remember indulging in dirt cakes? Combining chocolate pudding with crushed Oreos and topped with gummy worms brings back a flood of nostalgic memories. Pure joy on a plate!
Additionally, if you enjoy a good laugh, consider what your favorite author might say about you behind your back. For instance, imagine Agatha Christie quipping, “I could probably get away with murder!” It’s a humorous take that gives a light-hearted perspective on literary figures.
Engaging discussions and reader insights
In a recent post on Big Salad, ten friends and readers shared their go-to fall outfits. I particularly loved the way Stella Blackmon effortlessly belted her coat, showcasing a stylish and practical approach to autumn fashion.
Community comments
Moreover, I wanted to highlight some delightful reader comments. Kay shared a touching bedtime ritual with her daughter, where she does “fairy fingers” on her back as they drift into sleep. She creatively summarizes movies for her daughter, turning them into personal storytelling experiences.
Colleen Clark also chimed in about the nostalgic appeal of angel food cake, reminding us that sometimes the simplest desserts can evoke the happiest memories. It’s wonderful to see how food can connect us to our past!
As we wrap up this week, take a moment to reflect on the small joys around you. Whether it’s a new hair product, an inspiring film, or fond childhood memories, let’s cherish these moments and look forward to a fulfilling weekend.
