Have a Lovely Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? When I’m not hanging with the boys, I’m excited to rotate between my bed and the sofa and Liz’s Book Bar to read my TBR pile. (This is up next!) Hope you have good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

Is this a red flag? Wuthering Heights edition.

LOVE the new East Fork color — how gorgeous are the mugs especially?

This tiny English cottage has the loveliest bedrooms.

My sister asked me what jeans I’d recommend, so I sent her a link to my all-time favorite pair. (Also, these in black.) Both are SO good.

Reimagining photos of winter sports.

Tayari Jones — author of An American Marriage — comes out with a new novel next week. Back in grad school, “[my MFA professor] said to me, ‘Kiddo, you don’t want to come out the gate too hot,’” Jones recalled. “I was like, ‘I do. I do want to come out the gate hot.’” (NYTimes gift link)

Mayor Zohran Mamdani surprises newlyweds at City Hall. How fun is that? (NYTimes gift link)

Is mascara falling out of fashion? (Harper’s Bazaar)

A NYC snow day at the park. (NYMag)

16 random acts of kindness that cost nothing and seven books I’ve loved lately. (Big Salad gift links)

Best-selling Black-owned beauty brands: body oil, a perfect red lip, leave-in conditioner.

Dog has more human name than owner, haha.

Plus, three reader comments:

Sasha on what’s made you laugh lately: “We’ve been watching How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. What a wild ride. During the first episode, I was thinking, This is as if the Derry Girls grew up and got themselves into something very dark and way over their heads. And lo and behold, it’s the same writer!!! The absolutely brilliant Lisa McGee. It’s funny. Campy. Goth. I swear I’m gonna cry when it’s over.”

Says Marie on what’s made you laugh lately: “My six-year-old keeps adding the phrase, ‘I’ll tell ya that for free’ after she answers a question, because her grandpa says it. Her earnestness in mimicking him cracks me up every time.”

Says Sara on 12 Black History Month recs: “I absolutely love Abbott Elementary — as a media scholar in a network of teachers, there is so much greatness in fun, friendly sitcoms also representing red lining, school board bias, vouchers, and all manner of real community issues in the mainstream!”
