Hi! It’s Aliza. I chopped off my hair last week (it’s CLB summer?!) and it feels like one of the best decisions I’ve made in months. The cut has given me a little jolt of confidence and positivity during an otherwise tough week. (Aja: And it looks *fantastic.*)This is our weekly roundup of all the things we genuinely loved buying, watching, reading, and more. Rewind to 2017.

Hello! It’s Aja. Sam and I spent the weekend in Wellfleet, a small town near the tip of Cape Cod. We’re getting married here in September. For the first year and a half of our engagement, the wedding felt abstract and far-off — and now, all of the sudden, it feels very real. We’ve sent out invitations; finalized our menu; and started writing our vows. And my bachelorette is in a few weeks! I’ve gotten a bit giddy. This is our weekly round-up of things we genuinely love.

Written by and . Aja and I have been talking about — and using — AI a lot more recently. She was an earlier adopter — going to Claude for help brainstorming post ideas, transcribing interviews, and writing sponsorship proposals before I’d realized I should (or could) create my own account. In recent weeks, I’ve been trying to catch up. At first, I quickly grew frustrated when the tool didn’t immediately spit out the exact responses I was looking for.

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.

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.
