Libby is and forever will be THAT GIRL and I recently discovered you can subscribe to basically any magazine via the newsstand feature. I am really enjoying flipping through NYmag and trashy celeb mags like Us Weekly on my phone—it feels like all the guilty pleasure of scrolling though social media but infinitely more fun and less draining. I also like reading food mags and the New Yorker!

Spending the💰guilts me into getting through them. It’s nice to get something fun in the mail and support writers. I subscribe to The Baffler and The Drift and The New York Review of Books refuses to stop coming to my house. Would love to learn what other folks are subscribing to but I will say that I personally think the New Yorker allows articles to go on for too long.

A subscription I end up keeping because I’ll always end up reading all of their various publications (Vulture, the Cut, Gub Street). My parents kept a subscription and I’ve read it forever. I’m not local to New York but something about it feels chic, metropolitan. I bought a sweatshirt they had during a subscriber sale almost solely because it felt like something Carrie Bradshaw would have.

think it’s finally time for me to give up my NYT subscription… I barely open the app anymore. NY Mag on the other hand… you get Vulture, the Cut, Strategist. Always prepared for whatever insane Cut essay drops. Always up to date on Vulture recaps. I love my NY Mag subscription so much.

I went to the Korean spa for the first time with my bestie last night and it was a profoundly nourishing experience on every level. we were having deep heart to hearts while schvitzing it out in the sauna and it felt like my soul was being cleansed. there are these tubs of different temperatures and this basin full of mugwort water with empty bowls so you can pour it over yourself, and all these magical heated rooms with different scents and properties. I also saw people carrying giant bottles of spa water with chopped mango and mint and they were like $20 each but they looked sooo good. next time I also want to go to the Korean restaurant inside and the tea room.

this movie really defined an entire formative era of my life. I was an awkward frizzy-haired tween with glasses when this came out and I saw so much of myself in Mia. my best friend and I had the soundtrack basically memorized (Aaron Carter’s cover of Itty Bitty Little Pretty One lives rent free in my head, as does Miracles Happen by Myra). the love interest Michael (aka Robert Schartzman of Rooney fame) imprinted on my eros and continues to influence my type in masc women to this day. the movie also led me to the (superior if I’m being honest) book series, which played a HUGE role in shaping my taste and sense of humor and interest in pop culture references

just binged it in two days and loved it. i’ve never actually seen the original with Brangelina so i can’t say how this compares, but this was smart, fun, sexy, and surreal. i need more! my only criticism is they kept making dumb mistakes that made me yell at the tv…for spies they should have known better!!
