Long time fan of Joanna too! What a great read to start a snowy Monday! Also, I knew the style of your keychain looked familiar. I have the tulip bookmark from this company. The quality and colors are both so great!
Omg love that galentines tradition! I always host a girlie dinner with very traditionally romantic food - this year is champagne, caviar and potato chips and chocolate mousse!!
My husband and I have matching tattoos. Honestly, getting them felt like a bigger commitment than our wedding vows, LOL. But 10 years later, I still love my tattoo (and him, ha).
I also have a tattoo with my husband; nothing too exciting, just our wedding bands bc he hates wearing rings. BUT I love having something matching; like the school version of a friendship bracelet but much more serious.
It's a traditional swallow bird with the lyrics "always for love" from the Talking Heads song "This Must Be The Place" (which we played at our wedding). Ken has the tat on his forearm, and I have it on my shoulder.
Love to see Joanna make an appearance on this sub!! I also just watched I'm Still Here (heartbreaking!), but if you need something light for a cold winter day, might I suggest One of Them Days? Keke Palmer is hilarious, SZA is perfect, and Janelle James makes a guest appearance that had my laughing so hard, I was in tears.
Love this feature! I've always been into the idea of a special, quirky, little tattoo with meaning, but have never been able to settle on what! Adding Beautyland to my TBR - I'm fully in with the fae and vampires so might as well add an alien in too. And phew, that article on motherhood. So so much to discuss.
Dialling in from the UK to say a big yes to tuna+corn with your baked potatoes, but make sure you mix with mayo and cracked black pepper (like all in a bowl) to then dollop onto your potato. Spring onions can also make a nice addition to the mix for those who are so inclined 🌽 x
two of my Inbox Heroes in one post! 🥳
You're the best!
Aww you’re making us blush 💛
RIGHT!! That’s what I thought!
Fantastic - as always! Joanna is such a dream, congratulations on the collab! 🌼
Aw, agreed. Thanks Lauren!

That's so funny! It's the best - I love it.
Thank you for resharing that motherhood article--I had never read and it really resonated!
I'm so glad!!! Definitely resonated for me too. I feel like it's just going to be an annual read...

Love that!
I love both of those! And Lindsey, I totally know what you mean. The tattoo feels like the greatest commitment of all lol.

One of Them Days has been on my list! Very much in the mood for a laughing so hard I’m in tears movie — thanks for the endorsement ☺️
This year I’m going to make a lasagna and take my mom and sister through one of my journaling workshops for Galentine’s day.
That sounds delightful. Lasagna is such a labor of love dish.

LOL fairies, vampires, and aliens, why not?! (I will say Beautyland skews much more lit fiction than romantasy.)

Such a fan of Joanna's, and that's so true about her comments section - it's such a special place on the internet. Loved this. x
Doesn’t happen every year - but when possible my gal pals and I meet at the beach for a Galentines weekend ☺️
This brightened my day to see your three names together! I love the little tattoo idea (a shrimp, how cute!).
what a big fish!!!! yay congrats!
