In partnership with
This year, I didn’t wait to be invited.
Last year a friend invited a few of us to a holiday house tour near her home. Then she made it a real event: dinner afterward and an Uber ride home. It was a true break from all the holiday to-dos, and we had a blast.
Yesterday I thought, wait, isn’t that coming up? I looked it up, and tickets were almost sold out. So this time I made the plan. One text to the group, and the replies came back almost instantly: “I’m in.” “OMG YESSSS.”
Tickets are purchased, and we are all very excited.
Friendship is a lot of things. Sometimes you just have to be the one who remembers.

THE FEATURE
Cannonball.
She skipped every pool party for 50 years. Now she can’t wait to get in the water. It starts with an eighth-grade gym class.
THE REFLECTION
Well, Would You Look at Her. She Made It!
No big milestone. No birthday. Just a regular Tuesday, a toothbrush, and a sudden thought.
Hollywood Has Its Secrets. So Do I.
This fashion tape. You’ve heard it’s how celebrities stay in their gowns. I’m not holding up a plunging neckline.
I’m keeping my T-shirt in place under my sweater, that perfect little peek of white at the neckline, all day. Glamorous? No. Genius? Absolutely.
THE WILDCARD
Table Manners Were Invented to Stop Fights.
Every rule you learned at the dinner table started as a way to keep people from fighting. Just in time for Thanksgiving.
Your Fall Glow-Up: Two Drinks for Hydrated, Plump-Looking Skin
Cooler weather can leave skin looking dull and feeling dry. Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo brings a beauty upgrade to your fall routine: two delicious daily drinks that support hydrated, plump, luminous-looking skin from within.
Start with creamy, organic Sun Goddess Matcha, packed with antioxidants that support healthy-looking skin. Then sip B·T Fountain, a refreshing beauty electrolyte combining clinically studied ceramides, hyaluronic acid and electrolytes to support hydration and a dewy glow.
The beauty benefits come with impressive clinical evidence. In a clinical trial of B·T Fountain’s ceramides, skin hydration improved 25% by day 15. By day 60, hydration improved 37%, elasticity improved 36% and wrinkle depth decreased 8.2%.
Morning matcha. Afternoon beauty hydration. An easy ritual that fits into busy fall days while supporting skin that looks smoother and feels replenished. Your favorite daily drinks become a simple skincare habit worth keeping.
My answer:
If the phone rang (you know, the one on the wall), no one was allowed to answer it.
We were busy.
