Have a Restful Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? Toby and I have been watching Friends, and we are right at the London wedding episode. I remember watching it in college and shrieking! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

This summer, should we all dress like Chessy from The Parent Trap?

Plus, a summer vacation mood board.

Also great news: J.Crew is having a huge sale, with up to 40% off sitewide. Love the fit of these jeans.

I can’t stop thinking about what Nicki Sebastian’s therapist told her. Plus, how Nicki’s life changed after cancer, the loveliest wallpaper, and four ways to take amazing photos this summer. (Big Salad)

A Swedish summer cottage. The wallpaper! The windows! The ponies!

What is the best vagina emoji? 😉

50 ways to rest. “Savor the smell of soap when you wash your hands. Chat with a neighbor. Look at the moon. Stand barefoot on grass. Eat leftovers for dinner.”

The new series North of North looks great.

The boys and I are getting more into cooking, and can’t wait to test out this fun cookbook.

Aminatou Sow’s great advice on drinking. “Where to even start? Nobody ever knew when I was a drunk as a teenager and at the time, I really thought I was getting away with the crime of the century.” (gift link)

An easy way to dress up your everyday ponytail.

Hahaha.

Plus, two reader comments:

Says Laura on how to be a neighborhood aunt, teenage version: “My mom was never excited about clothes shopping. She said it because she had to spend her formative years in a maroon Catholic school uniform. But one of her friends and colleagues, Nikki, was the coolest, most stylish person teen-me had ever encountered. When Nikki offered to take me back-to-school shopping, my mom was happy to hand over some cash and send us off to the outlet mall. It felt like the most glamorous day, and I still cherish it 25 years later.”

Says Jasmine on two ways to chai: “As a desi kid who has grown up in America, I was thrilled to see today’s topic! Each family tends to have their own signature chai recipe, but the joy is in sharing them with each other. As an adult, I love a good black tea, but on cold or rainy days, there’s nothing like a warm cup of chai to soothe the soul.”
