<p><em><strong>Something on your mind? Chat about it here.</strong></em></p>
<p>I’ve always been a fan of a wide, square neckline — and I still remember one girlfriend telling me how she thought square necklines were the best ones to wear with blazers and suits.</p>
<p>They come in and out of fashion, but are happily having a moment — I like this bodysuit from Free People, which looks like it would be great for a sleek look with wide legged pants, shorts, skirts, and more.</p>

<p><em>Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.</em></p>
<p>I have a white poplin top in my closet that’s very similar to this one, and it’s consistently one of my most-worn spring/summer items.</p>
<p>(Did I buy two because I’m a spiller and I know that about myself? Yes, I did.)</p>
<p>My favorite way to wear it is with a comfy pair of linen pants on the weekends, but for the office, I’ve been pairing it with wide-leg cropped pants for these early spring days. </p>
<p><a href="https://rstyle.me/+tLQskpMJQyOCzaLyJHJxCg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener">The top</a> is $47.50 at J.Crew Factory and comes in sizes XXS–3X. It also comes in three other patterns. </p>

<p>Just as <a href="https://corporette.com/the-best-north-south-totes-for-work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">north/south totes</a> are a big trend again, we’re seeing mini north/south crossbody totes. (Perhaps mint green is a trend, as well — I feel like I’ve seen a lot of them this season!)</p>
<p>This mini tote from Black-owned business <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fzzaTfBHfiead_S7Ck0jAw" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">Ree Projects</a> looks great — I love the subtle tucking details that give it a folded, origami-type feel to the bag.</p>

<p>Do you <a href="https://corporette.com/how-to-make-a-bookshelf-look-pretty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“style” your bookcases</a> with objets d’art, bookends, and so forth, or do you just use bookends for functional purposes?

<h2><strong>Cute Bookends For Your Work Space, Home Office, or Cubicle</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Amazon</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><picture><source type="image/webp"><img loading="lazy" src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/amazon-bestseller-bookends-maxgear.png" height="400" width="398" alt="bookends with decorative design" decoding="async"> </picture></figure>
</div>
<p>In the “affordable and mostly functional department,” we have these bookends, which are ranked #1 for decorative book ends at Amazon. In general, there a lot of decorative wire bookends and other functional pieces.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://amzn.to/3WpOe5L" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">pictured bookends</a> are under $20 for a 4-pack; you can see all of the <a href="https://amzn.to/3Wq6xYG" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">Amazon bestsellers for decorative bookends</a> here.</p>
<h3><strong>Target</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+2VmlyrPplZ5d_QOHHtfOww" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/best-bookends-target-hearth-hand.png" height="400" width="400" alt="wooden bookends" loading="lazy" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>If you have a sort of minimal design aesthetic (also maybe a bit of a Scandinavian style?), these <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2VmlyrPplZ5d_QOHHtfOww" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">wooden bookends</a> might be right up your alley. They’re bestsellers at Target, for $24.99.</p>
<h3><strong>Anthropologie</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+0RYPQCjN_EvqCbbOfHTczg" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/office-bookends-anthropologie.png" height="399" width="400" alt="bookends that look like a face split in half" loading="lazy" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>These <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0RYPQCjN_EvqCbbOfHTczg" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">gold bookends</a> from Anthropologie might be great if you’ve got a more <a href="https://corporette.com/how-to-make-a-bookshelf-look-pretty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">styled bookshelf</a> — and I like that they come in gold, black, and white. They’re $58.</p>
<h3><strong>Crate & Barrel</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+fgqZDjhHkGhSlYRLkWTOLA" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/best-office-bookends-crate-barrel.png" height="400" width="400" alt="bookends that look like birds" loading="lazy" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>I will admit it: I swing wildly between the “birds are bad luck inside the house” thing and “I love decorating with small birds.” (I guess I’m just going with no live birds inside the house? Hmmn.)</p>
<p>In any event: I love these <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fgqZDjhHkGhSlYRLkWTOLA" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">black and gold bird bookends</a> from Crate & Barrel, where it’s $65 for a set of 2. They’re also available in a natural wood and a beigey-white.</p>
<h3><strong>West Elm</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+YqQgnCjwBwO66JIZ6Cu1dw" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/office-bookends-art-deco-west-elm.png" height="400" width="400" alt="bookends with an art deco marble detail" loading="lazy" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>I love <a href="https://corporette.com/how-to-add-art-deco-style-to-your-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Art Deco office style</a> in general, so <a href="https://rstyle.me/+YqQgnCjwBwO66JIZ6Cu1dw" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">these marble and gold bookends</a> are totally calling my name. They’re $110 at West Elm for a set ($54 for just one).</p>
<p>(These <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Xt0wf7tZlTLPyu0tt5eOYg" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">black marble ones</a> at Bloomingdale’s have a similar appeal!)</p>
<h3><strong>Etsy</strong></h3>

</div>
<p>You can get a bunch of custom options at Etsy, including engravings and bookends shaped like a pet… but I liked this handmade custom lamppost, with signs pointing towards fictional places of your choosing. (The example includes Atlantis, Treasure Island, Tatooine, Pandora, the Shire, and more.)</p>
<p>This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+4hpUVRA4wMbh_tP32O0-Ww" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">exact one</a> is $110.83, from seller TinSharkLLC, which describes the shop as “nerd retail therapy.”</p>
<h3><strong>Urban Outfitters</strong></h3>

<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+yTPFhbdbc9xzTZUeyswtuA" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/office-bookends-urban-outfitters.png" height="400" width="400" alt="cool bookends from urban outfitters" loading="lazy" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>We’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — you can get <a href="https://corporette.com/the-best-places-to-get-cute-office-decor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surprisingly cute office decor</a> at Urban Outfitters.</p>
<p>These bookends are some of my favorites of this roundup — UO designs the ceramic stoneware as thus:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Fettu’s design is inspired by the organic, ribbon-like forms of fettuccine. Wide enough to have a nice bite and substantial enough to maintain its form, the Fettu is equal parts playful and grounding. Rhythmic in form, its sculptural tendencies disguise its function, allowing it to serve as bookends or an art object.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Nice! <a href="https://rstyle.me/+yTPFhbdbc9xzTZUeyswtuA" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">The bookends</a> are $150, via UO MRKT.</p>
<h3><strong>Perigold</strong></h3>
<div>
<figure><a href="https://rstyle.me/+zeTgz4h2WPLR7TUeP_jZ-w" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img loading="lazy" src="https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/best-bookends-reflections-copenhagen.png" height="400" width="400" alt="crystal bookend in shades of green, blue, and clear" decoding="async"> </picture></a></figure>
</div>
<p>Another favorite from this roundup: this gorgeous hand-cut crystal bookend from Reflections Copenhagen, via <a href="https://rstyle.me/+zeTgz4h2WPLR7TUeP_jZ-w" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">Perigold</a>. The brand recommends putting it near a window so you can catch the reflections… how gorgeous would this be sitting on an office window shelf instead of a wooden bookcase? The bookend is $495.</p>

<p><em>Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.</em></p>
<p>A lot of the most recent Ted Baker collection looks like it was inspired by the most recent season of <em>Bridgerton</em> — whimsical florals and beautiful pastels as far as the eye can see!</p>
<p>It’s not a bad thing but can be a little much for officewear.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to incorporate that vibe, I’m loving this fitted tee for layering under sweaters and blazers. Pair it with a dark blazer and jeans for a more casual office or wear under a full suit for something more formal. </p>
<p>The tee is $90 at <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=j3wYAlndgaI&mid=1237&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nordstrom.com%2Fsr%3Forigin%3Dkeywordsearch%26keyword%3Dted%2520baker%2520t-shirt%26filterByGenderAge%3Dwomen&u1=tedb-tees" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nordstrom</a> and comes in Ted Baker sizes 0-5, which is roughly equivalent to US 0-12. </p>
<p>Psst: Looking for more T-shirts with fun but professional prints for 2024? Some classic brands to check include <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=j3wYAlndgaI&mid=1237&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nordstrom.com%2Fsr%3Forigin%3Dkeywordsearch%26keyword%3Dted%2520baker%2520t-shirt%26filterByGenderAge%3Dwomen&u1=tedb-tees" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener">Ted Baker</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+JzsrWQlQQ3Up9E8bbVZ_VA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lilly Pulitzer</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+FnbEhOdNL-qyYrb-zy2ZIA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener">Boden</a>, and <a href="https://www.thekit.com/collections/tops" rel="nofollow sponsored noopener" target="_blank">The Kit</a>.

<p>When you’re daydreaming about vacation, I can guarantee you’re imagining the world of possibilities that awaits you once your plane touches down at your destination, not all the prep required before you even board. <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/best-places-for-first-international-trip/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Planning where to go</a>, <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/best-time-to-book-flights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">booking tickets</a>, and creating your itinerary all require a lot of effort, but IMO, the most challenging part of prepping for a trip is <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/fashion-writer-packing-tips/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">packing</a>. Regardless of how many outfits I’ve planned in my head, it’s inevitable that the night before a trip, my room looks like a tornado ran through it as I try to put together <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/vacation-worthy-clothes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">vacation-worthy ‘fits</a>, even though I end up bringing the same classic pieces I wear at home anyway. And when I’m deep in the throes of this stress-packing chaos, I always—without fail—forget to pack something.</p>
<p>No matter how organized I try to be, something always slips my mind, and it’s often one of a handful of repeat offenders. To help remedy this forgetfulness, we compiled a list of commonly forgotten items to ensure your next vacay includes no panicked last-minute store runs to replace something. Keep scrolling for the top 12 things people always forget to pack for vacation.</p>
<h2 id="h-1-toiletries">1. Toiletries</h2>
<p>I can’t count how many times I’ve checked into my hotel after a long travel day, <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/best-travel-bags/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">opened my suitcase</a> to grab my face cleanser to wash away the plane germs, and been hit with the realization that my toiletries are still comfortably sitting in my bathroom drawers at home. Toiletries are particularly painful to forget because if you’re anything like me, you have what some might call an excessive skincare routine, and running to the nearest Sephora to replace all your items is simply not in the trip budget. To avoid having to scrape by on complimentary hotel toiletries, always double-check your suitcase to make sure your toiletry bag and makeup bag are safely tucked away and ready to be used.</p>

<h2 id="h-2-hand-sanitizer">2. Hand Sanitizer</h2>
<p>Maybe I’m a germaphobe, but hand sanitizer is <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/travel-essentials/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an absolute travel essential</a> for me, especially if I’m traveling to a city where I’ll be taking a lot of public transportation. If your vacation is centered around lots of sightseeing, you’ll most likely be zigzagging around the city, popping into tourist stops and pausing for lunch or on-the-go snacks in between everything you want to see. You might not have access to a bathroom to wash your hands before eating, and hand sanitizer gets the job done. Plus, touching your eyes or mouth with dirty hands can get you sick, which is the last thing you need when you’re enjoying your PTO.</p>

<h2 id="h-3-charging-accessories">3. Charging Accessories</h2>
<p>In our digitally connected world, it’s nearly impossible to travel with a dead phone, yet chargers and charging accessories are still so easy to forget. I blame the fact that every one of my Apple tech products somehow has a different charging port. Always ensure you have not only your regular chargers but also a portable power bank and wall adapters if you’re visiting a different country.</p>

<h2 id="h-4-sunglasses">4. Sunglasses</h2>
<p>Somehow, no matter how many times I chastise myself for forgetting sunglasses again, I still never remember to bring them. This has resulted in many last-minute purchases of cheap plastic sunglasses that get the job done while I’m traveling and then never see the light of day again. Even if you’re not going to a tropical beach destination, sunglasses are still a must-have for bright days and as a chic accessory for your outfits.</p>

<h2 id="h-5-health-and-wellness-items">5. Health and Wellness Items</h2>
<p>When you’re stressed about just making it on the plane successfully, it’s unlikely you’re thinking about the extra products you use in your daily life to make you feel great. However, I’m a firm believer that traveling doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your health and wellness routine. If you take any medication or supplements daily, get a cute travel pill case to bring the amount you need. Personally, I’m a huge essential oil girly, so I always make sure to pack a roll-on oil in my bag to whip out whenever I need a moment of Zen. Another health-adjacent item you never know when you might need is bandages, especially blister patches. Even <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/gola-sneakers-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the best walking shoes</a> can have a bad day, so these will come to the rescue for the rest of your trip.</p>

<h2 id="h-6-camera">6. Camera</h2>
<p>I know most of us literally walk around with a camera attached to our hip 24/7 via our phones, but sometimes, especially when exploring a new place, you want to whip out a camera that takes your photos to the next level. I love bringing a digital camera and a disposable film camera on vacation to capture everything I see in different ways. And if something happens to your phone, you don’t want to miss out on those precious memories if you don’t have another camera.</p>

<h2 id="h-7-cash">7. Cash</h2>
<p>Now that paying is as easy as a tap or swipe, I never have cash on me anymore, but I make it a point to grab some anytime I go on a vacation. You should be able to use your card without any issues when traveling to most places, but it’s always a good idea to have some cash on hand. You never know when you’ll encounter someplace that won’t take credit or run into obstacles with your bank when using your card in a different city.</p>

<h2 id="h-8-blanket-or-scarf">8. Blanket or Scarf</h2>
<p>I’m not sure who decided the appropriate temperature for a plane is sub-zero, but I’d like to chat with them. Even in pants and a sweatshirt, I’m always woken up by how freezing I am (if I manage to fall asleep at all). I love to bring a small blanket or a blanket scarf to keep warm on these arctic flights, and it’s nice to have if your hotel room or Airbnb is chilly as well. If you’re taking a road trip, it’s the perfect item to get comfy in your seat so the time passes quickly.</p>

<h2 id="h-9-umbrella">9. Umbrella</h2>
<p>When imagining a spring or summer getaway, we never want to think it will rain, but it’s always better to have a plan in case it does. You don’t want to be confined to your hotel room to avoid the rain or get soaked trying to buy one at the closest store. It’s not exactly the ideal travel accessory, but armed with an umbrella, you can still explore the city without getting wet.</p>

<h2 id="h-10-earbuds-or-headphones">10. Earbuds or Headphones</h2>
<p>Earbuds or headphones are key for entertainment on the plane and are a must-have on your trip. Whether you want to listen to an audiobook while lounging by the pool or romanticize some solo sightseeing with a specific soundtrack, headphones allow you to bring whatever vibe you want to your trip without forcing others to listen. They’re also fantastic for taking a moment to yourself on a group trip when you need a little me time.</p>

<h2 id="h-11-travel-journal">11. Travel journal</h2>
<p>I love chronicling my travel escapades in a journal, and it’s so fun to go back and read the entries, reliving the entire trip in detail. However, this is one of those items that you always want to bring but often forget about in the whirlwind that is getting ready for a vacation. When I actually remember to bring a travel journal, I find it makes me much more present during the trip, and I remember far more small details than when I’m not journaling.</p>

<h2 id="h-12-books-or-a-kindle">12. Books or a Kindle</h2>
<p>Vacations are the perfect time to catch up on your TBR list, but there’s a reason airports have so many overpriced bookstores: Reading material is one of the biggest things people forget to pack. Make a point to pack a book you haven’t had the time to read from home, stop at your local library to grab something new, or use <a href="https://libbyapp.com/interview/welcome#doYouHaveACard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Libby</a> to download a library book on your Kindle. Remembering ahead of time saves you money, and you can find a book you’re actually excited to read versus compromising based on the limited selection at the airport.</p>

<section>
<p>After moving to a new city, I realized I didn’t have anyone or anything to gossip about. Leaving my college campus for a new place was a long-anticipated opportunity to escape the <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/what-it-means-to-be-girls-girl/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gossip web</a>. I didn’t feel pressure to gab about other people nor worry about what others were saying about me. Imagine my shock when I discovered that my lack of gossip was actually a sign of an unhealthy <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/the-importance-of-collaborating-and-fostering-community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">social ecosystem</a>. Before this, the idea of gossiping seemed so inherently negative to me that I had no reason to question my own aversion to yapping about other people.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until I started listening to <a href="https://www.kelseymckinney.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelsey McKinney</a>’s <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KVZ16mLZ1bbNlnKemYTzm?si=200b16eb5c424840" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Normal Gossip</em> podcast</a> that I realized my aversion to gossip was totally unfounded. Each week, McKinney brings on a new guest and recounts an anonymously submitted tale of real-life gossip. The tales range from workplace drama to the interpersonal complexities of niche communities. Hearing these stories made me realize that I needed some “normal gossip” of my own. I was glad to be out of the shit-talking on campus, but I still wanted to have conversations that could build community.</p>
<p>After having this revelation, I decided to interrogate why I thought gossiping was such a problem in the first place.<strong> I chatted with McKinney to determine why gossiping was, much to my surprise, something I actually <em>needed</em>. If you’ve ever been ashamed of your status as a certified yapper, here’s why gossiping might not be so bad.</strong></p>
<p>The first episode of <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KVZ16mLZ1bbNlnKemYTzm?si=39d2f80110ae4079" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Normal Gossip</a></em> that convinced me that I needed some friends to gab about? That would be <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ygB0sT2NhkGLnUfzXHWDi?si=f17e3ba4e4e649f5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">episode 1 of season 4, entitled “Every Peach Is a Miracle with Samin Nosrat”</a>. It tells the story of three roommates who work at a local farmer’s market and have become subject to a feud between the vendor they work for and another vendor.</p>
<p>The story is full of moral twists and turns that would make even the most ethically inclined mind spin. Like, what do you, as an employee, do when your boss is acting out in a way that might deter customers? What do you, as a friend, do when you’re caught in the middle of two other friends’ disagreements? Is it really such a bad thing to squeeze a peach at a farmer’s market before buying it? Though this tale is one of gossip—that is, it’s a story from a friend-of-a-friend that is unverifiable—it’s McKinney’s guest’s response to each moral challenge that provides real value. Together, McKinney and Nosrat determine that squeezing a peach at a farmer’s market <em>is</em> actually pretty bad.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When we talk about others with people we trust, we generate a moral code.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>According to McKinney, this moralizing that occurs around morsels of gossip can be helpful for community building. While it might <em>feel</em> icky to talk to a friend about the unverifiable actions of an absent third party, gabbing about those stories brings the two of you <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/attachment-styles-in-friendships/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">closer together</a>. It allows you to gauge right, wrong, and morally grey. When we talk about others with people we trust, we generate a moral code, building social norms and fostering connection.</p>
<h2 id="h-gossip-can-serve-as-a-warning-or-reminder">Gossip can serve as a warning or reminder</h2>
<p>Another standout episode of <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KVZ16mLZ1bbNlnKemYTzm?si=39d2f80110ae4079" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Normal Gossip</a></em> is entitled <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1A7aZ14sGG6kcDwn0R30ZL?si=613e78b6bd394a4c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Dishing in the Confessional with Emma Eun-joo Choi,”</a> and in it, McKinney tells the story of a very long, very strange, very codependent relationship. The “protagonist” of the morsel of gossip is a young woman who spends several years tied at the hip to her high school sweetheart. As McKinney walks Choi through the story, the actions of the “protagonist” elicit many reactions from Choi along the lines of “Noooo girl, what are you doing?!” as she continues to pursue a relationship with a guy who, although not necessarily a bad person, is clearly <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/signs-youre-trying-to-force-a-relationship-that-isnt-right/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrong for her</a>.</p>
<p>Many of us have long abided by the doctrine of “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” However, recounting stories like the one in this episode of <em>Normal Gossip</em> can be a positive in our real-world relationships precisely because they cause us to cringe at the actions of others. Listening to McKinney and Choi gab about the actions of the “protagonist” provides a reminder to us as we tune in: Maybe <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/identifying-codependency/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">don’t shape your entire life around what your partner wants</a>, and try to figure out what <em>you</em> want instead. Hearing cringey stories about other people allows us to become more compassionate towards their shortcomings. It also gives us that gut-check warning to hopefully never make the same mistake ourselves.</p>
<h2 id="h-gossip-can-make-us-feel-more-empowered">Gossip can make us feel more empowered</h2>
<p>I’m not the only one out there who has changed their life to attempt to avoid the act of gossiping. According to McKinney, it’s common for guests on her show to express at least a little bit of discomfort with the idea of gossip before they dive into the anonymous stories. In response to being asked how they feel about gossip, McKinney says a normal response is, “‘Well, I love it, but I feel bad about it.’” </p>
<p>There are examples of this across all seasons of <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KVZ16mLZ1bbNlnKemYTzm?si=0c98f08f93ea49f0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Normal Gossip</a></em>, but one conversation that sticks out is in <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2WKlDB3FCzTccKccbuMccp?si=f8856a9f8d164163" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">episode 1 of season 3</a>, which features author and comedian Samantha Irby. “I love low-stakes gossip, but I’m a little bit of a freak in that when someone tells me a story, I immediately start thinking, ‘Are they ok? Is that person ok? Did that turn out ok?’” Irby shares on the podcast, referencing the <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/friendship-anxiety/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stress</a> that any piece of secondhand info can induce. Irby explains why she feels it is better to be a <em>receiver</em> rather than a <em>spreader</em> of gossip. She’s not the only guest who has a complicated relationship with talking about others—most episodes reveal the guest’s complex individual moral code surrounding the subject.</p>
<p>There’s a whole long, complicated history of <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/gossip-friendship-celebrity-power-accountability" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>why</em> gossiping is commonly associated with women</a>, but historical nitty-gritty aside, consider this: When you think of a “gossip,” is the person you picture usually a man or a woman? Even the TikTok viral word “<a href="https://www.bustle.com/life/yapping-definition-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">yapping</a>” has a somewhat feminized connotation, associated with people who are “shrill” (insert eye roll). According to McKinney, this isn’t a coincidence. “Society demonizes gossip at large to protect power and also to relegate what women are saying as something that is unimportant,” McKinney said. </p>
<p>If we’ve learned anything useful from modern wellness culture, it’s that <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/80-percent-rule-for-perfectionism/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all-or-nothing mindsets</a> are rarely productive. Thinking of something like a “guilty pleasure” is usually an indication that we have an unhealthy relationship with that thing—and the same goes for our feelings about gossip. Gossiping in a balanced way can actually be an empowering way to shift our black-and-white thinking about the subject.</p>
<h2 id="h-gossip-can-be-downright-entertaining">Gossip can be downright entertaining</h2>
<p>My favorite episode of <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KVZ16mLZ1bbNlnKemYTzm?si=e560217542a64276" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Normal Gossip</a></em> is, by far, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6qpgG3HytQ0QaOF0rnb3X3?si=8c599399065445c1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">episode 3 of season 5</a>, with comedian Matt Bellasai. In this episode, McKinney tells the story of a queer kickball league. It involves a rag-tag underdog team fighting for the championship, an extremely tangled web of relationships, and some occasional poor sportsmanship. When I first listened to this episode, I was on the train. I ended up laughing aloud so hard, I got some very weird looks from strangers (note: <em>Normal Gossip</em> is not a commute podcast, because it is absolutely laugh-out-loud funny).</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The fact that gossip is fun, silly, and entertaining absolutely means that it has value in our relationships and culture.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>When I asked McKinney why she decided to start a podcast about gossip, she told me that the entertaining quality was a huge part of it. “During the pandemic, I really missed fun gossip, and that fun, kind of fizzy feeling that you get when you’re with your friends,” she said. The fact that gossip is fun, silly, and entertaining absolutely means that it has <a href="https://theeverygirl.com/what-to-do-about-ex-best-friend/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">value in our relationships</a>. Finding entertainment in chit-chat doesn’t warrant the guilt we ascribe to it—it’s just not always that serious. Put simply, life’s a little too short to not enjoy a good morsel of gossip every once in a while.</p>
<h2 id="h-final-thoughts">Final thoughts</h2>
<p>With all of this tea spilled about the good of gossip, it is important to acknowledge that gossip is not always positive. <a href="https://www.alexisbesstherapy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alexis B. Kaufman, LCSW</a>, explained to me that there are real risks to gossiping: “Gossiping can create mistrust in relationships, or conflict if the person the gossip is about finds out about your conversations,” she said. Kaufman noted that if your gut is telling you to keep something to yourself—maybe it’s too personal to slip into casual conversation, or the person you’re telling the gossip to might use the story irresponsibly—listen to that feeling. However, when used responsibly, gossip can act as a relational tool.</p>
<p>Spurred by my desire for “normal gossip” after listening to McKinney’s podcast, I eventually did find a community to chit-chat with in my post-grad city. Last weekend, I sat down for brunch with my three closest friends in the city and gossiped for the first time in several months, and it was delightful. It made me feel closer to the girls I’ve just started to get to know well, and it gave me a break from obsessing over celebrity gossip (of which there is plenty…thank you Taylor). So consider this your sign to incorporate a little more “normal gossip” into your own life, especially if you’re feeling a little lonely. If <em>Normal Gossip</em> has taught me anything, it’s that a good story is worth listening to.</p>

<p>Did you see the first two seasons of Hacks? The HBO comedy follows a has-been comedian in Vegas who hires a plucky young writer to help her write jokes. Their chemistry — full of spars and, as time goes on, deep respect — propels the story forward, and lucky for us <a href="https://collider.com/hacks-season-3-everything-we-know/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">season three</a> comes out today! Definitely recommend.</p>

<p>While grabbing coffee yesterday, I spotted a cute girl wearing a very cute pair of wide-leg cream pants with a frayed hem. I asked her where she found them, expecting to hear an expensive designer brand, but she said <a href="https://www.zara.com/us/en/high-rise-z1975-straight-leg-jeans-p06164053.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Zara</a>! The sizing ends at waist size 31, unfortunately, but <a href="https://bit.ly/3UwKjSq" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these</a> and <a href="https://bit.ly/4dgSzOV" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these</a> look similarly good and go to <em>pants</em> size 30 and 40, respectively.</p>

<p>Have you heard Phoebe Bridgers’s cover of The Cure’s <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6vC7mF2CXYW6MVF2voO4FU?si=10deb47638884f3e" rel="noopener" target="_blank">‘Friday I’m in Love’</a>? It’s so slow and romantic. Three other great covers? ‘<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6mpwrHr8D9c8IloEFCHNLa?si=2b8736d36189405b" rel="noopener" target="_blank">I Got You Babe</a>’ by Boom Forest; ‘<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1mvfvDZOybiEgS1ecJxt9W?si=902015d83ab543f3" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Somewhere Only We Know</a>’ by Lily Allen; and, of course, ‘<a href="https://spotify.link/J9yKv8A6gJb" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Blackbiird</a>’ by Beyoncé. Always love hearing different takes on the same songs.</p>
<p data-bleed="1" data-article-image="1" data-article-image-position="2" data-article-image-position1="2"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://cupofjo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bean-toast.webp" alt="smitten kitchen cannellini bean toast" width="640" height="427"></p>
<p>With two preteen/teenage boys, we eat a LOT of pasta in our house. But to switch things up, I made these <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/04/cannellini-aglio-e-olio/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">cannellini bean toasts</a> and they were a crowd-pleaser: garlicky, savory, almost creamy. What have you been cooking up recently?</p>
<p>P.S. <a href="https://cupofjo.com/tag/fun-things/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">More fun things</a>, and <a href="https://cupofjo.com/2022/09/21/what-has-made-you-laugh-lately/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">what has made you laugh lately</a>?</p>
