Issue #77: What to do on your first trip to London
Plus, where we'd spend more time on the next visit, Aja's new strategy for staying connected with friends, and a wedding dress update
Happy Thursday! If you enjoy reading Platonic Love, there are a few ways to let us know: “like” this post, leave a comment, buy us a coffee, or upgrade to a Paid subscription. Thanks for your support!
Hey! Aliza just left my house. We’d planned to watch the first episode of Bad Sisters season two together, but ended up spending the entire time talking1 — about Platonic Love, life, the tropical writer retreat we’re planning for January… It was a good catch-up.
Speaking of catching up… Boston readers, we’d love to see you next Friday, 11/22. There are still a few tickets left for the Lovestruck Books event featuring Zan Romanoff, author of 831 Stories’ Big Fan. Let us know if you’re going!
Today, we’re sharing some more life updates, including a new way I’m keeping in touch with friends, where and how I got my wedding dress (and Aliza’s response when I sent her a picture!), and Aliza’s London girl’s trip recap.
Aja’s Updates:
A fun new strategy for staying connected (that doesn’t involve social media!)…
I’m doing the 75 Hard Style Challenge with my friend Lilly, which entails wearing and documenting a “real” outfit every single day. We decided to upload our photos to a shared album, and it’s been both fun and expectedly intimate. I love seeing what she’s wearing and getting a peek into her daily life that I wouldn’t normally.
My friends Corey and Jocelyn originally gave me the idea — they use a Google Photos album to share pictures of their baby with his grandparents. A few other ways I think you could use this concept with friends and family (especially long-distance ones):
Pictures of your dinner every night or breakfast every morning
Every cute dog you see
Things that remind you of each other
