This genius show, brought to you by Lisa McGee, is really just good for what ails you. As an alumna of an all-girls high school, I find it nails the single-sex educational experience better than anything else out there. It’s funny, easy to watch, and full of charmingly absurd accents. After watching one too many episodes, I find myself talking to myself like an Irishwoman, and then thanking the heavens -- as I do every day -- that I live alone.

A hilarious coming-of-age Irish show about four teenage girlfailures and their lame sidekick boy. It takes place during the troubles, but is still lighthearted.

For months since the start of the pandemic, I’ve had trouble getting back into reading for pleasure. I graduated from my Master’s program in May 2020, and was experiencing a lot of literary fatigue… I was studying medieval English literature, and had been up to my ears in readings for months, so I think at the end of it all I was just incredibly burnt out. This book changed that. Set in a post-Covid, semi-fictionalized version of Palm Beach, it’s incredibly fun, and just of-the-moment enough to feel like an inside joke for our times, without veering into the hyper-current or crinegworthy.

This is the coffee I drink at home every day. I think this surprises some of my friends, because I’m somewhat food-obsessed, and am known for loving the finer things whenever and wherever I can find them. However, it’s all about balance, and I stand by this lowbrow coffee choice one hundred percent. It’s perfectly toasty and bitter, quite cheap, and is ready in as long as it takes to heat water. I think I’ll be drinking it for the rest of my life.

A few months ago, I made the mistake of treating myself to a couple pairs of fancy black sheer stockings. They made me feel like one of the hot girls on Mad Men, maybe one who marries her boss or something. Until, after all of fifteen minutes, they ripped. So I rolled my eyes and headed to CVS for an emergency replacement. Would you believe, dear reader, that I still have that same pair of (yet unripped!) replacement tights to this very day??? Needless to say: highly recommend.
