The Link Up: The Documentary Emily Was Deeply Affected By, Arlyn’s Helpful Fiber Chart, And A Dress You’ll Wear All Spring And Summer

Happy Sunday, everyone. Some large shoots person been happening that you’ll get to spot with your ain eyes successful the adjacent fewer weeks. We committedness you’re going to emotion them! This is besides our past week with Em until she embarks connected her outpouring interruption escapade truthful it’s going to beryllium a engaged one:) So instrumentality a fewer minutes to unbend with america earlier it’s pedal to the metallic time. Let’s link!

This week’s location tour is conscionable the explanation of chill elegance. The premix of seating, the colour palette, the mode the creation is hung. It’s a indispensable see!

From Emily: A amusement to binge – unsettling, sad, disturbing, but good done. As you know, I’m a erstwhile Mormon and besides an influencer but that’s wherever my commonalities extremity with Ruby Franke – the YouTube ma who destroyed her family, abused her children, and truly shocked the world. The 3-part Hulu documentary precocious dropped with 1000s of hours of unseen footage and interviews from her hubby and 2 oldest children. Like each moms (or humans) I person specified aggravated compassion for these kids… Listen, determination are acheronian underbellies to each things, and I don’t deliberation this is simply a specifically Mormon communicative but I get other creeped retired erstwhile I spot things successful radical that I spot successful myself and past they extremity up doing what she did. It, of course, made maine wonderment if I’ve ever exploited our kids for my vocation (I truly don’t deliberation I person and they BEG to beryllium featured much which I don’t). But the full “striving to beryllium the cleanable mom” thing, I fearfulness is Mormon taste conditioning and thing that I request to ticker much intimately successful myself… Anyway, ticker the amusement if this piques your interest. It’s 3 hours and fascinating (and seems arsenic though the household members progressive truly wanted to bash it to assistance archer their broadside of the story).

From Marlee: A caller work that I genuinely person not been capable to halt reasoning astir is I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman – it follows an anonymous narrator who has been raised successful an underground situation on with 39 different women – they person nary measurement of clip and don’t cognize however they got there. The 39 women retrieve their lives earlier their mysterious imprisonment, but our younger narrator’s cognition of the satellite (and of herself) is lone shaped by what she has learned from the different women. It sounds bleak – and it is – but it’s haunting successful the “I’m ne'er going to hide this” benignant of way. It’s dystopian and a small sci-fi, discusses womanhood, friendship, emotion and death, and is profoundly introspective and thought provoking. It’s a abbreviated work (200ish pages) and packs a large punch. It’s 1 of those books wherever you spell successful expecting 1 happening and it turns retired to beryllium thing other that you didn’t needfully privation but you’re not huffy astir it? That’s however I felt astatine least. If anyone has work this and has akin publication recommendations delight fto maine cognize due to the fact that I’m itching to consciousness this mode again!

From Mallory: I (luckily) escaped the LA rainfall past week and ventured implicit to Hawaii for the travel of a lifetime!! Before I near I recovered a Nordstrom giftcard successful my wallet and snagged this insanely gorgeous dress that’s cleanable for immoderate outpouring interruption travel you whitethorn person coming up (and if you’re successful a clip crunch you tin bid online and prime it up similar I did FYI). I felt similar a princess walking astir successful this atrocious lad – it’s precise precocious prime and has the cutest driblet waist but doesn’t laic ace choky which was perfect aft mai tais from Monkeypod (which I conscionable recovered retired are the astir delicious mai tais ever if you hap to beryllium traveling to Maui – spell there). Anyway, shoutout to Farm Rio for ever nailing amusive edifice deterioration and chill patterns – and shoutout Caitlin for showing maine the marque years ago!

From Gretchen: If you saw Jess’ station a fewer days ago, outdoor spaces are connected the mind–and connected excavation too. I person a tiny platform attached to my place, astir 10ft by 10ft, and I americium dilatory but surely getting it acceptable to bask this summer. Soon I’ll beryllium inheriting a fewer mildly utilized outdoor furnishings pieces and I’ve been connected the lookout for immoderate further decor pieces to bring it each together. The main occupation is my platform isn’t looking the prettiest astatine the moment–the railings are grungy from the rainfall and the decking is simply a small worse for wear. I stopped into World Market to bash immoderate prop buying for a sprout we had and recovered myself checking retired their outdoor rug selection. I was beauteous impressed! I’m inactive pulling unneurotic my moodboards for my outdoor space, but I’m truly leaning toward this rug. I similar that it’s reasonably affordable and adjacent much truthful that it’s reversible, truthful I tin dispersed retired the deterioration oregon alteration up the consciousness of the space. It looks similar a rug I’d support inside, which is besides important due to the fact that I person gallic doors that link my platform to my surviving country and I’d similar the spaces to consciousness reasonably cohesive. But I was also eyeballing this greenish rug, due to the fact that I bash consciousness similar immoderate colour retired determination could beryllium bully (and it’s astir $50 cheaper), but I’m not definite if the signifier is excessively overmuch for me. We’ll see. Both are connected my rug ‘yes’ database for present until the furnishings is successful spot and I tin get a amended thought of what volition look best!

From Jess: In lawsuit immoderate of you are Summer House watchers, I americium a immense instrumentality of Amanda’s existent style. To me, she’s the epitome of the effortless chill girl. I privation to formal similar her erstwhile I turn up adjacent though I’m older:) So it was precise breathtaking erstwhile she announced her 2nd capsule postulation with Otra Eyewear. I’m truthful blessed for her and the sunglasses are, of course, highly cool. I truly emotion these.

From Caitlin: I’m a fewer weeks late, but I truly enjoyed this portion successful the New Yorker connected the democrat-driven housing shortages successful our large cities. In our effort to safely modulate the operation manufacture implicit the past respective decades, we made it astir intolerable to physique astatine each – it’s a glaring argumentation nonaccomplishment that contributed to the messiness we’re successful now. I’m a large YIMBY benignant (and a card-carrying subordinate of the Congress for the New Urbanism, to boot!) and americium truly heartened that folks connected some sides of the aisle are leaning into pro-housing, pro-building policies – I genuinely judge the satellite volition beryllium amended erstwhile we’re not spending a bulk of our income connected shelter. (If you’re funny successful learning much connected this topic, Ezra Klein’s caller book Abundance drops this week.)

From Arlyn: Remember that clip I wrote astir fibre and astir the full remark conception of the Link Up was astir fiber? (It was similar 2 weeks agone haha). Well, I forgot I meant to stock the Mott Fiber Chart I got from my dietician that has been truthful adjuvant for me! It’s obscurity adjacent complete—I privation it amended compared things similar achromatic beans vs. pinto beans (which are a fibre powerhouse, FYI)—but it’s been a utile instrumentality for maine and possibly it volition beryllium for you! Happy fibering.

Thank you for stopping by and spot y’all tomorrow. xx
