What are you up to this weekend? We watch lots of \u201990s movies in the summer (Clueless<\/a>, The Fugitive<\/a>, The Firm<\/a>) and next up is Quiz Show<\/a>. Have you seen it? I remember loving it. Hope you have a good long weekend \u2014\u00a0maybe with fireworks? \u2014 and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Five friends try on 25 swimsuits \u2014\u00a0and tell us what they loved and hated<\/a>. (Big Salad)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t generally love hot dogs, but I would love these<\/em> hot dogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who wants to visit a little red cottage in the Swedish countryside<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I keep spotting ballet sneakers<\/a> on women walking by our house. Here\u2019s a leopard cute pair<\/a> and a mesh version<\/a>. (Get 25% off regular-priced styles with code SPARKLERS, from July 3rd to 5th.)<\/p>\n

Turning 100 years old<\/a>. So moving.<\/p>\n

What happens when kids design playgrounds? Lava, mushrooms, giant chess<\/a>. (NYTimes gift link) <\/p>\n

If you need me, I\u2019ll be over here reading about heatwave tricks<\/a> in a wet cotton T-shirt, in front of a fan.<\/p>\n

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and spotted a celebrity at another table and whispered about it forever and then realized it wasn\u2019t the celebrity? We\u2019ve done that recently with Stanley Tucci<\/a>, Scott Speedman<\/a>, and Randall Park<\/a>. Point is, we\u2019re cool, you guys!<\/p>\n

Banana Republic is also having a huge sale<\/a>, now through July 8th. I\u2019m eyeing this easy dress<\/a>, perfect tee<\/a>, and summer sweater<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Misophonia fireworks<\/a>. (New Yorker)<\/p>\n

Made me laugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this summer, Freddie has been grilling on the weekends. For those of us who eat meat pretty sparingly, I appreciate that ButcherBox<\/a> delivers the highest quality humanely raised meat and wild-caught seafood to our door. Get $20 off your first three boxes<\/a> with code COJ. Thank you, ButcherBox!<\/p>\n

Plus, four reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Anon on five pick-me-ups<\/a>: \u201cWhen I got divorced, I went into our local mattress shop in Seattle to try some options. When I explained things to the sales guy, he said, \u2018Oh! You want the divorce special!\u2019 He brought me to a very comfortable, mid-priced mattress and encouraged me to try a whole bunch of others before deciding. In the end, he was exactly right \u2014 I wanted the divorce special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Rose on five pick-me-ups<\/a>: \u201cThis summer, we purchased a bubble machine<\/a> for our two-year-old. It is MAGIC. Beautiful magic! Grown-ups, treat yourselves to a bubble machine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Sar on what conversation-starting questions do you ask on dates<\/a>: \u201cI love food-related questions. Answering a sincere question of \u2018What did you eat today?\u2019 from one of the foodies in my life has long comforted me. It\u2019s both intimidate and mundane \u2014 perfect for a date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Betsy on 9 genius secondhand shopping tips<\/a>: \u201cMy #1 eBay shopping tip came from a Hovey sister<\/a> on CoJ ages ago: use Boolean search terms! I rarely wear black so almost all of my eBay searches include \u2018-black,\u2019 and then whatever\u2019s important to me is in quotation marks, like \u2018100% cashmere\u2019 or \u2018vintage.\u2019 Absolute game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n
