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.

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.

Interview by and . The other day, I (Aliza) was catching up with a friend, who’s newly single at 34. “Dating in my thirties feels completely different,” she told me. “My questions have changed from wanting to know where someone went to college to how they see the future — and that’s on date one!” It made me think about how the questions we ask potential partners evolve as we get older and our priorities shift.

Interview by . Edited by . Artist Elsie lives in a 1976 apartment in Western Australia with her partner, Jay (a writer), and their cat, Yardy. Their home is filled with rich colors, vintage furniture, and lots and lots of art. “I think visitors can be a bit overwhelmed when they first walk in due to the intensity of the colors and all the knickknacks,” says Elsie, “but people are really receptive to spaces that are unapologetically full of character.” Take a look around with us...

Written by . Edited by . Every night since last December, my two-and-a-half-year-old son has danced along to the Nutcracker. platonic love is a newsletter by friends, for friends. Last night, he started crying unexpectedly, his small felt Nutcracker dangling from his left hand. “This not Nutcracker,” he said through his tears. My husband and I looked at the Amazon Echo on the kitchen counter. Its screen showed The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. “Not right,” he said again.
