Happy Friday! I’m extra pumped for this weekend because my friend Jill, who is known for her taco suits and recent jaunt to Argentina, is back in town for a few days before going back down south. So excited to catch up with her, and umm, apologies in advance for the late night karaoke/screeching that is sure to occur, NYC.

In the ongoing war between books and e-books, I’m Team Books all the way. I know, I know – Kindles hold hundreds of books, have lots of cute covers, and most importantly, never give you a single paper cut (shudder). And yet, reading’s just not the same for me without going down to the library and perusing through the shelves to pick the perfect one to bring home. I love marking great passages with bits of paper like some strange species of squirrel, and wondering who else read that exact copy snuggled up on the couch, turning page after page long past bedtime.
I know that books will unfortunately go the way of the dinosaurs one day, and when that day comes, I’ll be turning mine into awesome shelving units and iPhone docking stations. Hey, when life hands you lemons!
I recently spotted this photo on Pinterest, and all of my daily annoyances and problems suddenly seemed very teeny. It turns out that having to wait 15 minutes for the subway to come, or getting your socks wet in the rain isn’t such a big deal in the scheme of things, people.

I’ve been wanting to squeeze out a little more storage space out of our apartment by adding a few wall hooks, as part of the Spring Cleaning and Organizing initiative currently going on at our house. To my dismay, I caught myself throwing a handful of generic plastic hooks in my basket during a trip to Target. For shaaaame. I’m glad I snapped out of it in time, because these options are MUCH cuter.

Happy Friday! I’m kicking off the weekend with a little blogger meetup (aka margarita-filled fiesta) tonight, and our dear friends from Savannah are also in town, which means shenanigans will plentiful in the upcoming days. Toss in a 30th birthday dinner for one of our bestest buds, and we’ve got a full plate of fun on our hands. Have a good one, everyone!

Seriously, was there a better era to grow up in? We had roller skating parties, rainbow slinkies, Garbage Pail Kids, giant Walkmans, Zack Morris, Duck Hunt, slap bracelets, trapper keepers, AND New Kids on the Block. Ahh-mazing. I pity the fool who doesn’t love these retro-inspired picks as much as I do!

Here’s a dose of CMKY color on this off-kilter Monday morning. It’s…86 degrees in NYC today. In mid-April. Say what?
The dumpling class this weekend was really fun! It was led by Diana Kuan, who patiently answered about a zillion questions, and with her help, we successfully cranked out some super tasty morsels in under two hours. One of my unexpectedly favorite fillings? Spinach, kale, shiitake mushrooms, and scallions! I’m feeling like a dumpling ninja right now, but of course, the real test will come when I’m allll alone in my kitchen…

Happy Friday! Toby got n-e-u-t-e-r-e-d yesterday (sorry, buddy!), so we’ll be keeping it fairly low key this weekend so he gets some rest. I am, however, going to try to check out the awesome vendors at the Bust Magazine Craftacular fair, and I’m also signed up for a dumpling & wonton making class on Sunday through Skillshare! So excited!! Although being armed with this delicious knowledge could be dangerous with bathing suit season coming up fast…
My name is Gloria. I scour the high seas of the internet daily to find the cutest, the beautiful, and the most bodacious.
