Not Fantasy Life, but in other hobby news, I remember you were looking for books with spaceships on the cover not too long ago? I just came out with one that I'd be delighted to send you, if you're interested.

If I were Meghan Sussex showing up bare-faced to a "no makeup" chat -- and the host was wearing this much mascara, eye shadow and blusher, I would've turned right back around and left. Like, Jamie, we can SEE you! It's just such a bizarre lie to tell!

Improving as a cook is mostly a gradual process but there were a few things that just leveled up my game instantly: 1) home made stock, 2) switching to sea salt, and 3) buying a giant bottle of this stuff and throwing it into just about everything for a Flavor Boost. Truly a life hack, ty Costco!

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
