What are you up to this weekend? Tonight I\u2019m going to the new Greenpoint Comedy Club<\/a> \u2014\u00a0will report back! \u2014\u00a0and tomorrow we have a close family friend\u2019s bar mitzvah. Excited to play arcade games and watch other people dance<\/a>. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n Swimsuit shopping can be\u2026a nightmare, but I\u2019ve loved every suit I\u2019ve tried from this brand<\/a>: buttons<\/a>, ribbed<\/a>, plunge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Math problems for moms<\/a>.<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t laughed this hard<\/a> in a long time! <\/p>\n What it\u2019s like to be a 12-year-old American girl<\/a>. Mira \u201cis small for her age but manages to occupy space laterally. She moves with a noodle elasticity, and is prone to breaking into dance moves while going about her business: a full-body wave from wrist to wrist, an entire sequence from a Katseye music video. The first time we met, we were mid-conversation when she inexplicably dropped into a side split, grabbed her ankles, and rolled backyward, placing her toes on the floor behind her head. \u2018At the beginning of the year, I couldn\u2019t do an aerial\u2019 \u2014 a hands-free cartwheel \u2014 \u2018and I can kind of do one now,\u2019 she told me, harrowingly assuming the starting position.\u201d (New Yorker)<\/p>\n My #1 travel tip<\/a>.<\/p>\n This secret note from a sister to her brother<\/a> made me laugh.<\/p>\n Omg, how cute is this red-and-white dress<\/a>? (Get 20% off with code JOANNA20.)<\/p>\n A reminder<\/a> that it\u2019s totally okay to be the friend who gets a little too excited.<\/p>\n You know the Black Honey lipstick<\/a> that famously looks good on everyone? They now have a second shade<\/a>.<\/p>\n I would get married just to serve these cakes<\/a>. (via Ali<\/a>)<\/p>\n Finally, seven cool things I spotted people wearing in NYC<\/a> this week, and how not to look like a tourist<\/a>. (Big Salad, free for all)<\/p>\n Plus, three reader comments:<\/p>\n Says Emily O. on a thank-you letter to my gynecology PA<\/a>: \u201cMy lovely gynecologist inspired me to be descriptive with my kids when they were little: \u2018Okay, I\u2019m wiping your cheeks, and it might feel cold at first.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m reaching in your sleeve, can you scooch your hand down to me?\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m going to push your shoe, and it might feel uncomfortable, just take a breath and relax, if you can.\u2019 It\u2019s surprisingly transferable.\u201d<\/p>\n Says Marian on a thank-you letter to my gynecology PA<\/a>: \u201cHave you seen Laura Ramoso\u2019s incredible impression<\/a> of a gynecologist? If you want to laugh so hard you cry and probably pee, give yourself the gift of a watch.\u201d<\/p>\n TW: Pregnancy loss<\/em> (Photo by Josh Hild\/Unsplash.)<\/p>\n
Says Nish on a thank-you letter to my gynecology PA<\/a>: \u201cI recently had my second heart-wrenching miscarriage. While I was lying in the operating room, a nurse leaned over, squeezed my hand, and whispered, \u2018You\u2019re safe here.\u2019 Her kindness was so appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n
