Tuesday Things.
1. It’s prime day and you can get an amazing deal on The Pretty Dish! You can also get $5 off of $20 on books with the code PRIMEBOOKS18 so I figured I’d tell you my other top three faves: Seriously Delish (because it’s my first book and I’m shamefully plugging it), Chrissy Teigen Cravings (the drunken noodles are insane! I cook out of this book often.), and The Flavor Bible (if you want to develop your own recipes, this one is perfection.)
2. Pretty sure that the instant pot craze STARTED on amazon prime day a few years ago. Right? Which came first? The instant pot or prime day? Just kidding. I think.
3. Speaking of, I clicked the “deals recommend for you” tab on amazon and what came up first? A tactical vest for nerf guns. WHY DOESN’T AMAZON KNOW ME. Never been so freaked out.
4. Very into these lemon cream bars. Oooooooh.
5. My overuse of the word “amazing” is making me sick but I truly do think so many things are amazing. Must read thesaurus.
6. I love reading The Cut’s How I Get it Done column because I’m, quite frankly, obsessed with people’s routines and how they literally get stuff done. So when I read this one on Joanne Coles, I just about died when she talks about a treadmill desk. A treadmill desk! I want one. I need one. Can I put it in my kitchen?
7. Oh man – I am SO back into The Affair. I loved how they switched it up this past episode. VERY excited with Cole’s half of the show but I’m afraid that the ending I hope for won’t happen! And. I’m into season five of Southern Charm! Um, okay. Cannot stand Thomas. No no no no no. Just no. I really still love everyone else. Love that the girls kind of band together at the beginning here.
8. For quite possibly the first time ever, I started holiday shopping super super early since there are all these crazy sales right now. (OMG right I know.) But I’ve got a ton of my favorite blankets in the world for gifts already and tons of candles because the macaron scent is to diiieee for.
9. Important question I must know: is your ice cream of choice soft serve or hard scooped?
10. No one needs this more than me: set up your room for a great night’s sleep.
11. Trying not to freak out but in my secret wacko brain I feel like it’s basically August which means it’s almost the fall season and I’m like whyyyy.

Soft serve all the way, except in VT it’s called “creemee.” Care to recall with me the first time I mentioned, at my out of state college, that I wanted to go get a creemee? I was verrrrrrrrrrrry popular with all the wrong boys for a hot minute there.
I just died reading this. OMG. That is hilarious! I’m never going to think of soft serve the same.
Hard scoop all the way! And I have to get it in a bowl so I can scrape around the edges as it slowly softens and melts.
11. SAME! I spend half of my summer dreading the end of summer!
Jeni’s is the best ice cream on the planet. Those flavors!! I’ve seen cartons at Whole Foods, but the scoop shops are the best way to eat it. Hard packed (at Jeni’s) for the win!
Hard scoop for me, UNLESS it’s a chocolate dipped cone from Dairy Queen. Cannot deny that nostalgia!
I’m protesting Amazon Prime Day this year. Not for like, moral reasons, just because my wallet is crying just thinking about it.
I had a dream about hard mint chocolate chip ice cream so its all I wanted. There is no where in the GBG area that has hard ice cream! So I went the whole way to Kerbers (which 20 minutes for ice cream when youre not really an ice cream person is a haul) and NO MINT CHIP! Get it together, Westmoreland Co.
I feel the same way-like fall is just around the corner.
sadly, I’m with you on #11. my grandmother used to tease us by saying that summer is basically over once 4th of July is over, and we hated it. but now I feel like time moves so quickly it’s basically true!
I’m dying for Cole and Allison to end up back together, but I’m afraid they won’t! I just don’t think she loves him the way he loves her. She still blames him for Gabriel’s death and I think she still loves Noah.
I think about that show way too much 🤦🏻♀️
My husb found out there was a treadmill desk at his work several months ago and has been using it every day. It only goes up to 2.5 mph because can you imagine flying off while you’re trying to type? I’m picturing arms and legs everywhere and slamming through the sheet rock. Anyway, I think it counts as “non-exercise activity” rather than actual exercise, but he loves it and talks about it all the time.
Re: ice cream. Both, but if I get hand scooped then I have to let it sit for five or ten minutes and get melty before I can eat it. I feel like I can’t taste ice cream if it’s solidly frozen.
so like you i love reading about peoples routines, etc BUT i dont believe half of them ! i do not believe these people have all this energy and sleep like 4 hrs per night. NO. and some of them are so high up and have so much freedom with their schedule that i will never have. i am like i want to see REAL PEOPLE u know ? people who work in an office who are not CEOs etc. Or tell me what your routine was like when you were hustling trying to get that CEO job. Ok thats my rants.
and i will take my ice cream any which way i can get it ! but out of a cone is so fun !
Misuse/overuse of the word “amazing” was one of my high school English teacher’s biggest pet peeves. She would always say “French fries are not amazing. Jesus Christ riding a bicycle down this hallway while eating French fries would be amazing.” I always think of that when I am about to use the word!!
Holy ****, that would be amazing. I so wish that would happen right now.
Ugh bath and body works sent out their fall scents and I was like NOOOO I can’t handle this!
Hard scoop but I’m nondairy so it’s challenging.
