Friday Favorites – A Tea and Croissant

August 17, 2018 By AJ Leave a Comment

Good morning, everyone, from my perch on the sofa with a green tea and fresh croissant. I am super bougie this particular Friday. I’m working on a ton of projects, coming out of a chunk of slow weeks, and it’s exciting but exhausting. And I always have these great blog post ideas but before I can jot them down, they trickle out of my brain. Alas. But I am always trying to think of ways to reinvent “Friday Favorites” so if you have any ideas, do share in the comments.

Friday Favorites - From the Surface of the Sun

WHAT I READ

  • I am going to try and see Crazy Rich Asians this weekend. Here’s why it’s important.
  • An accurate article on why diversity matters (and is lacking) in independent films.
  • Jeopardy is now streaming on Hulu. Everybody say so long to productivity!  And by the way, Alex Trebek, guys. Is he not aging anymore? What’s the deal?

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

  • Natalia shared this recipe from Delish for “Oreogasm” Rice Krispie Treats. OMG.
  • Whitney shared her recipe for Frozen Peach Sangria and I want it immediately.
  • Jen is telling us why Plan B One Step is important. I know this is “controversial,” but….. #sorrynotsorry.

PR & SOCIAL MEDIA

  • Check out eight great tips on using Instagram Stories to drive engagement. Lindsay knows her stuff.
  • It had never occurred to me this would be a problem but it makes sense — Facebook is cracking down on the keyword search for “opioid.”
  • THIS was everywhere. A very unusual woman sang Missy Elliot’s “Work it” at a backyard karaoke party. She happens to be holding a Shofar. I cannot explain it. But boy did it go viral.

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • There was a epic discussion on my Facebook page. Creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter?
  • Just an update. I still don’t know who Kiki is.

  • I’ve been working with 20+ influencers on a campaign for the live-action The Little Mermaid that comes out today in AMC Theaters nationwide. This group has been so wonderful, restoring my faith in the influencer universe! Here’s one of their posts.
  • There is this AMAZING pop-up in LA right now, That’s From Disneyland. YOU HAVE TO GO. In short, a very wealthy man has been collecting Disneyland items for decades and filled a vacant department store with them. Incredible.
  • I attended a stand-up comedy show to benefit a great non-profit, Recycled Resources. Maria Bamford and Marc Maron were the big names — and they had me laughing til it hurt.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

  • Just…. these. Obviously.

Lazy Sunday Musings: What’s Up, Internet?

December 3, 2017 By AJ Leave a Comment

I’ve been having the hardest time sleeping this week and as a result, yesterday, I spent the majority of the day rather useless; slumped over on the couch dozing off or completing jigsaw puzzles on my iPhone. I did manage stretches of work here and there but yeah — mostly I was a lazy sloth. So today, as penance, I am trying to be a little more productive…. and I can’t say it’s going very well, but ya know, the day is still young. And in any case, at least you’re all getting a blog post out of me.

Lazy Sunday Musings: What's Up, Internet?

WHAT I READ

  • Lance Bass has questionable taste in brunch. I can deal with Estrella and Laurel Hardware, but I am not having Poke for brunch anytime soon and I don’t have the patience to wait in line at Sweet Butter anymore. And I refuse to step foot in The Abbey because I am over 30 and don’t enjoy getting roofied.
  • Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds has a documentary going to Sundance that I think looks fascinating.
  • This scientist wants to bring “Star Trek Values” to Congress.
  • Instagram is testing some new features. I am excited about them. Twitter is also testing a new feature — a “save for later” function.

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

  • Kara’s Party Ideas shared this adorable Mary Poppins themed party for a baby that I am convinced would translate well for me.

Lazy Sunday Musings: What's Up, Internet?

  • If you are coming to my home for the holidays, please know I will be serving this boozy cider. And/or this black forest hot chocolate.
  • And speaking of boozy, do check out Lizz’s clever advent calendar that I am determined to convert to some kind of Hanukkah commemoration.

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • My holiday gift guides are rolling out. Check out my book recommendations and my gift guide for brunch lovers.
  • I saw two beautiful movies. Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. Both unique and truly special films though I would go as far as stating Call Me By Your Name may be in my top five films of all time.
  • I listen to the same morning show EVERY DAY. If I don’t, I catch the podcast later. I am kind of a known fangirl for it. But at the top of the week, the new station owners fired my favorite personality from said show, Ralph Garman, and I am having a rather strong reaction to it. By Friday, I couldn’t turn the show on at all. I hope it passes — I do like the other people on the show — and I am kind of caught off guard by having this visceral reaction to it.

As you just heard on-air, we're sad to report that @RalphGarman has announced that today is his last day as part of the Kevin & Bean morning show. We’re grateful for all he has done for us and our program, and wish him all the best.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

  • I am rather obsessed with P!nk’s single, “Beautiful Trauma.” The video is GLORIOUS.

  • Jimmy Kimmel took on Senator Ray Moore and it is also GLORIOUS. He holds zero punches.

  • Last one, so I can leave you with a chuckle. The Raptors stadium cam caught Drane enjoying a grapefruit Perrier. His reaction is delightful.
