The Internet is Magic, Volume X

April 21, 2020

The internet has been making me cry happy tears lately. Here are a few links I’d love to share because the internet truly is magic…

A dancing mascot! I watched this three times and it just made me so happy.

Humans of New York is better than ever lately. I loved this post and this one, too.

The most beautiful thing on the internet for me lately is my wonderful Hipline community and choreographers. Taking zoom classes with my ladies is getting me through the toughest of days. Take a class with me? I dance on Tuesdays at 7:45 and Saturdays at 12:45 without fail, plus other classes on a whim.

Another lovely internet perk is my friend Karah is now offering online consultations for her esthetics business, Idell Beauty. I want to get started on an anti-aging regimen and she was so patient and lovely in our initial consult in explaining to most basic of skincare to me. If you book an online consult for $20, you get $20 toward product in her shop. Let’s support a brilliant, beautiful small business owner.

I must have tragic optimism (New York Times) because I think this coronavirus is going to make us better and stronger as people even amidst such deep suffering. It already is. “But even in the darkest of places, they see glimmers of light, and this ultimately sustains them.” AMEN.

What else? Do you have any amazing finds on the interwebs lately?

The Internet is Magic, Volume IX

April 13, 2020

Welcome to the latest edition of The Internet is Magic! I think we can all agree that some awesomeness is happening online these days, but I still wanted to pop in with a little link round up to brighten your day. Enjoy!

As a lemon bar aficionado, I really loved The Kitchn’s popular online lemon bar recipe review. I’ve made Deb Perelman’s before and really enjoyed them, but I must admit that the author made quite a compelling case for Martha’s. I’ll take any excuse to make a lemon bar….

I thought it was heartwarming to see medical workers putting their photos on the outside of their PPE.

Now I want to watch Insecure and I also like Issa Rae even more than before. Her list of current projects is exhausting. How does she do all that?

If you want some escapism, may I recommend The Little Magpie’s Italian road trip series from last Summer? Italy is truly my dream destination and photos like these are why. I read and I sent love to Italy and everything they have gone through with Corona.

I dream of owning a hot tub one day. Hungry Runner Girl is making me so jealous with her family hot tub content right now. What I wouldn’t do to have a hot tub to escape to in my backyard after these long boring days…

That’s it for me these days. I figure you’ve seen pretty much everything on the internet lately….do you have anything you want to share with me???

The Internet is Magic, Vol VII

February 10, 2020

Friends, I have had a busy Sunday trying to get ready for the week while also unpacking from Hawaii and recovering from Keith’s 50th Bday party this weekend. I’m happy to have an excuse to sit my booty down and peruse the magical internet to bring you some awesome links tomorrow.

I love that someone gets paid to try new products at Trader Joe’s and write witty reviews on Bon App. I giggled aloud reading a few of these. Plus, I bought the artichoke dip today and her review was spot on.

How do you feel about Kim and Kanye’s home, featured this week in Architectural Digest? I love it. I’ve never seen anything like it and I just think it’s fantastic. Can you imagine waking up everyday in something so beautiful?

Shutterbean’s My Everyday Life posts are my favorite. I’ve been reading them for years. She always reminds me to find the magic.

I’m just catching my breath after our epic Maui trip last week (recap coming soon!), but time marches on and we’re going to New Orleans for Jazz Fest at the end of April. Joy the Baker’s Winter/Spring guide to Nola came just in time. Eeeeek! Can’t wait!

I know you’ve already watched Cheer on Netflix, but have you watched them on Ellen? When Jerry hops up and does mat talk for Ellen, I die every time. Yes, I’ve watched this clip multiple times! They are the dose of happiness I need these days, especially Jerry.

This just made me cry like a baby. What a beautiful way to ring in turning fifty.

I’m not going to lie, I was a bit grumpy when I first started writing this post, but after finding all of this magic on the internet, my spirit is lighter and I am just grateful for the miracle of my life. I hope the same for you, friend.
