The Link Up: Em’s Favorite Sweatshirt Now Comes In More Colors, The Only Sports Bra Mallory Wears, And A Way To Make Your To-Do List Fun

Hey y’all and welcome back to the link up. We’ve got 11 banging links this week that will end (or start) your week off on a real good note. Seriously, is Sunday the end or start of the week? Even calendars are confused. Anyway, enough with that, let’s jump on in:

This week’s home tour is a cooool one. It’s actually an apartment for a brother and sister in their 20s! Designer, Marianne Evennou really outdid herself. It’s stunning, cozy but also really wonderfully laid out so each sibling has their own space. Plus the interior windows! But maybe the most impressive part is that A. two siblings are living together and B. one is in med school and the other is a musician.

From Emily: I was on a Zoom call with my team earlier this week when Caitlin asked about my sweatshirt & wanted the details. It’s is my dearly loved and highly worn Alex Mill half zip sweatshirt that’s cute enough to wear out and about but cozy enough to lounge in 24/7. I have the green version, but they just came out with 2 new colors that are both very cute too. I’m not kidding when I say I opt for this guy nearly every day because of its comfort and cool cut. Grab it if you’re in need of a ‘zoom worthy’ sweatshirt 🙂

We need to make sure everyone knows that EHD friend and co-designer of the River House (more on that this next week!) has an INCREDIBLE new wallpaper collection with Chasing Paper. Seriously, it’s awesome and definitely check it out.

From Jess: I’m pretty sure we’ve gotten this podcast recommended on here in the comments before but Maintenance Phase with Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes has been BLOWING MY MIND. It’s all about “debunking the junk science behind health fads, wellness scams and nonsensical advice”. But also really unpacks the depths of our societal and personal issues with fatphobia. I’ve been on some form of a weight loss diet for what has felt like my whole life (luckily not now but the internal food police is still talking). Like my pediatrician told my mom to put me on nonfat milk as a baby because you know, back then ANY fat in food was bad. So while I am aware of what they are talking about, it’s hitting differently hearing it presented in the way that they do. I think this is a must-listen for everyone.

A grand bathroom tour that we could not NOT feature because it was shot by our very loved Sara Ligorria-Tramp. They took the space from builder-grade to we-are-all-jealous-grade where the attention to detail is off the charts (THAT VANITY). Check it out if you wanna feel butterflies.

From Caitlin: OH MY GOSH. Here’s something I never expected to say: I’m SO JAZZED about the return of the network sitcom. Abbott Elementary? I’m crying AND feeling all toasty inside. American Auto? So, so, so good. Grand Crew? AN ABSOLUTE SLAM DUNK. It’s been so long since we’ve seen such a deep field of really fun, original comedy programming on cable and I love that there are so many great entrants on the scene. Love, love, love.

From Ryann: I finally found a task/to-do list tracker that works for my ADHD brain. It’s called Habitica and I’ve been using it every day for the past two weeks–mainly because it’s based off a rewards system that my child-like brain really needs. Basically, when you check things off your lists (there are three categories: “habits” “dailies” and “to do”) you gain experience and points which in turn will give you eggs and hatching potions to hatch the eggs into animals! IT’S FUN. It’s very reminiscent of Neo Pets (if you know you know). So yes, this is an app that might also be great for kids and now that I am thinking about it, was probably made for kids. HA. 

From Mallory: I recently went to Palm Springs and went to dinner one night at a fun restaurant (called Mr. Lyon’s if you’re in the area). Chase and I were talking to the bartender about how we’re recently getting into amaro and he recommended that we try a paper plane. I had never had one before but we just followed this recipe and made it at home and it was very delicious & fun 🙂

Also From Mallory: I’m very specific about sports bras because I hate when they’re too long (it’s not a sports SHIRT, it’s a BRA imho), so I wanted to share the sports bra I’ve been wearing pretty much every day lately. It’s this bra from Alo (the only thing I own from Alo so far) but I love it so very much & need to wash it constantly because I always want to wear it. If you’re in the market, there ya go!

That’s all for this week, thanks for joining us today! See you in the morning 🙂
