Friday Fives, 1.16.2026

It’s Friday and I’ve got no plans for the weekend other than to finish a book, hang some art and run around the city with kids.

1. Spent four days in NYC and feel alive and well. ✨ Something about that city fills me with creativity and energy and wonder. A few favorites: I stayed at this hotel and highly recommend, grabbed solo dinner at this Italian restaurant, ate a slice of ‘za here, had a life changing pastry here, got hand rolls again, and got a few goodies at Pop Up Grocer. Gotta say I love staying in SoHo but may shake things up and do Brooklyn next time!

2. While in NYC solo I got a blowout from Drybar and everything was going great. I was an hour into the drying (yes you read that right) and I thought it looked great but the stylist wanted to add curls. He curls my hair the next 30 minutes, brushes it out and I am unwell. I walk to Madewell to grab #3 below and an employee says to me… “Stop it. Your hair is fabulous. It looks like a Victoria’s Secret model on the runway from the early 2000s.” I left and immediately put my hair in a ponytail. 🤣

3. This sweater entered my life and she’s perfect.

4. Started this book and wow I need to finish it tonight.

5. I swear by Jess at Tight Club, if you’re local please book a lymphatic / fascia appointment with her and thank me after. 🤝
