EDITOR'S NOTE
Ummm….the way middle school me would have freaked out over the news that Forever 21 and Juicy Couture are officially collabing. The collection launched last week with bedazzled track suits, tank tops, accessories, and more. I guess it’s time to add Lancôme Juicy Tubes back into my makeup bag.

Kangaroo Hangers
A $15 closet revamp. We love to see it.
Our Commerce Director recently moved in with her boyfriend and found that these Kangaroo Hangers made a huge difference for organization without spending hundreds of dollars on a custom closet system. There’s a bar for folded pants, middle divots for garments with straps, and classic rounded corners for keeping a garment’s shape. You can get 10 hangers for $15 — and that’s really all you need.
Three Totally Random Things
Check out three totally random we’re loving this week:
How to Get Started
Because it’s too cold to even think about going outside, we’re sharing some of our latest hobby-based obsessions so you can stay indoors without going stir-crazy.
Tips
✅ Take a moment to reflect on what your 6-year-old self loved to do — from coloring and collaging to crafting and playing board games. Then, bring that hobby back in an elevated way.
✅ Start small. When it comes to reintroducing old hobbies, you don’t need to spend a ton of money. That’s why we love affordable kits and books to test before fully investing. Once you’re hooked, you can treat yourself to more.
Tools
This coloring book. We’d suggest starting out with this $16 set of markers. If you’re looking to splurge, we also love these.
A baking book from one of our favorite recipe developers. The recipes are easy to follow (even for newbies). We get delicious results every time.
A beginner paint-by-numbers kit that uses resin gems instead of paint. If you’re wanting something relaxing and tactile that doesn’t involve doomscrolling, choose this.
