Have a beautiful weekend. | Jo’s Cup

What are you doing this weekend? My sister and I are taking a little road trip, and I’m excited to spend time just with her. We haven’t had real one-on-one time (no kids, no parents, no cousins) in years! Hope you have a good one, and here are some fun links from around the web…

Packing the best daily underwear for our trip. (Plus, they’re on sale.)

“Never a reason to take your socks off”: the 12 rules of etiquette for a flight attendant. (NYTimes giveaway link)

Bright red strawberry lemonade for summer? Yes please.

“I don’t think you’re a big bad spymaster, I think you just messed up.” In HBO’s new docudrama Reality, Sydney Sweeney plays a 25-year-old woman who leaked a secret government document in 2016.

Also, 25 movies you must see this summer. I can’t wait for #4.

This travel bag folds up into a small rectangle.

What happens after you are sober? “During a tearful conversation with my wife on our couch in 2015, I stopped drinking and in that instant split into two warring factions. There was the sober me who chose to seek help, and the drunk me who had touched my life months, weeks, hours before. (Harper’s Bazaar)

Molly Baz made a cool collection of serving accessories.

Hot and Single is an entertaining Instagram series where New Yorkers share what’s going on in their romantic lives, what their red flags are, and why you should date them.

I’m your mom playing a video game and I’ll flip this avatar if you don’t watch your tone of voice. Ha ha ha.

Let the door open.

Plus, three comments from readers:

Says Erin Mary about where she lives: “I live in a small one-bedroom apartment in Washington, DC. It has huge windows that I like to sit at while I drink my coffee and my dog ​​looks out onto the street. I also frequently forget that I have huge windows and walk into my living room in my underwear. I love living as the only human being, as having to be “in” with people exhausts me. I have a stutter, and the work of speaking is exhausting. At home, I can finally relax. Having another heartbeat in the apartment is important to me, but I’m glad it’s a dog’s.”

Says Kaff in a very low-key summer checklist: “I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12; I am never without them. But recently I started taking walks and leaving them at home. It’s been a magical antidote to my Type A tendencies. I feel like I’m inside an impressionist painting. I’ll call it ‘Blurry Girl Summer.’”

Says Holly of the #1 thing to pack for a trip: “I’ve spent most of my life trying to blend in, but now that I’m forty, I’m done with that crap. After years of wanting to get my septum pierced, I finally did, and now I’m heading to the thrift store for something pink and fabulous. I have a six year old daughter and have been conscious of modeling for her (and teaching myself) how to love yourself. This has been such a healing season of life, and no kidding, CoJ has been instrumental (it all started by winning a gift from Dame). Thank you very much to all.”
