Hi! How was your weekend? I (Aliza) ran my first half marathon in nearly a decade — and I’m feeling damn proud of myself. In case you missed it: Running didn’t come easily to me postpartum. This is our weekly round-up of things we genuinely love. These days, I don’t wear a fitness watch, and I couldn’t tell you my pace. But I’m looking forward to continuing to put on my shoes and get out the door this summer.

Written by and . In my twenties, I (Aliza) volunteered at a yoga studio in exchange for free classes. One afternoon, the yoga teacher (my “boss”) gave me a tip: “When students are checking in, don’t ask ‘How are you?’” he said, explaining: “It can be a really difficult question to answer. I want people to show up to yoga and feel a release.”platonic love is a newsletter by friends, for friends.

Hi, hi! Aja here. I’m in Detroit with my fiancé, Sam, and some friends for the city’s famous annual techno festival. Am I into techno? The short answer is: No. The longer answer is: I’ve developed an appreciation for it over the years. It’s incredibly meditative; I’ve had some true revelations on the dance floor. And it’s really fun to participate in something Sam loves so much, although (because?) it’s not my thing. This is a weekly round-up of things we genuinely love.

Hi from Chicago! My family and I (Aliza) reunited here for the weekend to see Beyoncé on Sunday night. We had the best weekend. One of my favorite parts of Sunday was walking into Soldier Field at golden hour — an impromptu runway, with enough glitter, stiletto boots, denim on denim...and, of course, ass-less chaps for an army. My #1 recommendation this week: If Cowboy Carter is coming to your city, don’t miss it. This is a weekly round-up of things we genuinely love. A fun way to boost summer meals.
