FRIDAY FAVORITES – Quarantine Life

May 15, 2020 By AJ Leave a Comment

These Friday Favorites coming at you from the Quarantine Life, day 617. Okay, it’s like day 67 but doesn’t it feel like that? 67 days might as well be 617… I’ve started to crack here and there, kiddos. I’ve become a chef, a skilled dishwasher, a puzzle savant, an expert napper….  We all have our struggles right now and your struggle is no easier or harder than mine so remember we are all permitted a lot of latitude in this situation. It is okay not to be okay. Quarantine Life WHAT I READ
  • Entrepreneur Magazine assembled a pretty robust list here — 50 companies that are hiring right now. Take a look and hope this helps someone out.
  • These iconic Hollywood women were so badass!
  • Chris Hemsworth posed for GQ Australia and I guess it’s not “what I read” per se, but ya know, there’s an article.

Quarantine Life

  • Why you should never wait to uncork that special bottle of something.
  • Dave Grohl wrote a wonderful piece for The Atlantic on “when the live event returns.” Highly recommend.
BLOGGERS & SMALL BUSINESSES
  • So into these fantastic pop culture art prints. Very affordable.
  • This Etsy shop is so clever. Framed floor plans from your favorite TV shows. I obviously want The Golden Girls floor plan.
  • I bought a 144 piece laser-cut wood puzzle from Pew Pew Laser Craft that is challenging the hell out of me.
  • Would you eat fried, pickled red onions? (I would.)
  • Greeblehaus is sharing some travel-inspired Zoom backgrounds.
EARLIER THIS WEEK
  • Did you see the Back to the Future reunion?!
  • The Hollywood Picture news binge watched s’more things. We shared our recommendations here.
  • Jeff Goldblum shared his best Quarantine life.
THINGS TO DO – EVEN IN ISOLATION
  • Every week, We Like LA posts a great list of things to do around town, and that practice has not stopped in Quarantine. This week’s list is pretty stellar.
  • Fever Up has been hosting a lot of fun, creative online events. Check it out! This week I’m taking a tiki cocktail class and playing Drag Queen Bingo.
  • Tech Radar has a pretty extensive list of things to do – mostly online – as well.
VIDEO SPOTLIGHT
  • Stars from several incarnations of the musical Hairspray joined forces to sing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” together and it’s a pretty joyous video and I’ve watched it a whole bunch today.
  • Did you know? You need this mash up of Lizzo and The Aristocats?. Trust me.
  • I guess this is a little self-serving but I did a thing! I participated in a panel discussing how the entertainment biz is adapting to the Pandemic:

FRIDAY FAVORITES: TIS THE SEASON

December 20, 2019 By AJ Leave a Comment

Friday Favorites – we’re back! Oof. Guys, I’ve been MIA for a bit but still bookmark things to share so apologies in advance, but there is a healthy handful of internet gems to behold here. 

Friday Favorites

WHAT I READ

  • I can’t say I “read” this, but I WANT IT — Golden Girls wrapping paper!
  • This article about two Auschwitz lovers/survivors who reunited 72 years later gave me ALL THE FEELINGS.
  • If you need it – and I did – this TED Talk about living with grief is really wonderful. It also lead me to the speaker’s podcast, which I’ve been enjoying.
  • Podcasting is going mainstream, says FORBES. Says everyone who knows: DUH.

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

  • Spoon Fork Bacon is giving me life with this caramelized pear tart.
  • And how do we feel about a toffee apple dip? I think I’d give it a shot.
  • I didn’t set out to make this such a recipe-heavy week but damn this lemon-dill salmon looks TASTY.
  • The 12is Style gave out a great list of winter coats in plus sizes. I really need a new coat but keep procrastinating the purchase… Sigh. And BTW, you should follow this blogger on Insta. She’s great.
  • Amy takes such gorgeous photos of concerts but most of the time, I am not hip enough to know the bands. This time, she photographed ONE OF MY FAVES! 

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • I finished my holiday shopping. HOORAY! I also added like 92 things to my Amazon wishlist. Like this poncho — can I pull this off?
  • I started researching vacationing in Naples, Florida. Here’s why.
  • I added to The Hollywood Picture News’ weekly wrap-up of film trailers. Always enjoy doing it! Especially because I got to make fun of CATS which looks ABOMINABLE. Please enjoy.
  • This heart-warming, festive moment went viral:

FRIDAY FAVORITES: TIS THE SEASON

  • If you are into the chaos of the streaming wars (like me), this is a must-read.
  • This is such a PR WIN. Behold the case study of Chris Evans’ cable knit sweater in Knives Out.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

  • I am massively obsessed with Harry Styles’ cover of Lizzo’s “Juice” for BBC1:

  • And here’s a real treat — a while back I witnessed James Corden and Eddie Redmayne shoot a bit for his late-night show in an iconic deli here in Los Angeles. Well, it finally aired and if you pay close attention, you can see me checking my phone…. (about 2:28 and fun Hollywood-esque fact, they shot this twice.)
