Hi! How’s your week going? We’re excited about this fun issue :)When I think of Somsack Sikhounmuong, the creative director of Alex Mill, the first word that comes to mind is “lovable.” He grew up in a tiny Canadian town and now lives in New York City. He is warm and hilarious, he delights in small pleasures (think: ravioli and luggage stickers), and joie de vivre just pours out of him.

First up, as seen on the dad above, was the ubiquitous French net market bag — so simple and handy, right? Here are seven more observations…White button-up shirts tucked all the way in, all the way around. No half tucks!

Today, we’re featuring 10 women who are sharing their experiences, and we’d love to hear from you, too…First up, Aminatou Sow, whose mom died two decades ago, shares how it feels to navigate adulthood as a “motherless daughter”:I was 20 when my mom died.

Hi! How is your week? My mom is visiting this weekend, which is always a treat. For today’s issue, we talked to , a health educator and writer.

Hello!Our third Big Salad & Friends live stream airs tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12 p.m. ET with NYTimes-bestselling poet Kate Baer. We’ll be chatting about poetry (and how funny and real it can be), female friendship, vibrators, parenting (she has four kids), and how to switch into a creative mode, or as she says, “get your head in the clouds.” Will be a fun and laid-back conversation; and we’ll be answering reader questions, too, which is my favorite part.

Hey there, how is your week going? This is a very hard time in the U.S., as well as many places around the world, and I want to send everyone a big virtual hug. I hope you’re hanging in there and able to take care of yourself and the people around you. Stay tuned for an upcoming Big Salad volunteer group that we hope you’ll join. For now, I’d love to share eight things I noticed around Brooklyn, including small joys, little mottos, and ways to connect with loved ones and strangers.
