We're highlighting a few of the Black artists that have been central to blues and country music for over a century with this week's playlist. Listen here!
"Nice is pleasant and agreeable, while kind is generous and considerate. Being pleasant and agreeable are tonal qualities; these are adjectives that describe the way something is done, not the act itself. Generosity and consideration, on the other hand, are the actions."
If you’re a parent, grandparent, caretaker (or simply shopping for one), these playpens are perfect for small spaces and made with safe, nontoxic materials. Our editor’s daughter is a big fan of the one below. 🥰
A big payoff for the simplest dinner: These eggs can be easily adapted for your microwave and yield the perfect fluffy consistency. Perfectly comforting for a late-night snack or lazy meal.
💼 For job seekers: Are you a licensed therapist in California? The Diaspora Therapy Group has full- and part-time opportunities for LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC licensed clinicians.
📝 A good question: When are you most critical — of yourself or others? Can you pause and send compassion to yourself during those moments?
Our next virtual meet-up is on Wednesday, September 23rd at 10 a.m. PT — We’ll be chatting with our editor Kate, whose article about doing a low-spend month inspired many rich reader conversations we can’t wait to dive into. Join us for a guided meditation and community discussion, plus a financial roundtable where we share our tips on making the most of our budgets. We can’t wait to see you!
From Kayti Christian, Senior Content Strategist
"We just moved into a new house and so I made the most adult purchase ever and invested in this cordless vacuum that empties itself after every clean. It feels so silly to be in love with a vacuum but here I am, raving about it to anyone who will listen and finding excuses to use it every day (or hour). Right now, it's 40% off.'" [Check it out]
One reader's favorite simple pleasure:
"Because I tend to sleep warm, and my husband does not, I invested in a BedJet for my side of the bed to blow some cooler air on me as I sleep. But I have also been loving one of its other features! A true moment of indulgence is crawling back into bed in the morning, after everyone has left the house, and hitting the Turbo feature, that super heats the bed for 10 minutes. I lay under my warm covers, with warm air blowing on my feet, and listen to an audiobook. It's extra lovely if it's a rainy day or just a dark morning. There's something special about being wrapped up in coziness and warmth while listening to a story. I should add: I am a librarian, so this feels like an extra piece of my soul ... to have someone read to me." - BM
