Dear Gentle & Saucy Yappers,
Truthfully, right now my spirits are low. But I have so many things to look forward to. I have so many amazing divas in my life. Those things are helping me out big time. It will not be a Hot Girl BUMMER. Only Hot Girl Summer.
xoxo, Hailey Girl
RANKING OF THE WEEK: Best Bestie Gifts
I’m no expert at gifts but I like to think I can get a decent gift!
A gift that is personalized to their likes/interests/hobbies - Because this can only be properly done but the besties who know them best
A sentimental gift - This is interchangeable to #1 but also depends on the person. I’m a sentimental gal so I eat this UP
An experience - tickets, dinner, something you can do together!
Something they would not buy for themselves - Think something nice that they deserve and will like!
Anything with a little bit of thought - Because truly it is the thought that counts
R.E.P.O.R.T.
R: READING
JUST READ: This Book Made Me Think of You: 3 stars (160/211 overall ranking)
This book had so much potential. I loved the concept, I loved how it represented grief, and it was sweet. However the book did not land. I wanted more from the book and at the same time there needed to be way less of a page count.
CURRENTLY READING: Killman Creek by Rachel Caine
This is the second book in the Stillhouse Lake series. I was unaware that this was an established series with many books in it but I plan to keep reading them until I am no longer interested. I was worried about this book not hitting the same as the first book but it has started to ramp up and once again, I’m hooked!
E: EATING
Restaurant: Big City Wings
Perhaps it is because I haven’t had wings in a hot second, but these hit! I’m also giving them major props because they let me choose more than one sauce flavor with 5 wings. Places tend to be stingy with that for some reason. I need to return to this establishment and order a plethora of Gold Fever bone-in wings.
P: PLAYING
Music:
You do not choose the song of the summer. The song of the summer chooses you. Right now, Motion Party (Remix) is heavily choosing me. Olivia Rodrigo’s album comes out tomorrow and I fear that album will make me cry instead of embracing my hot girl summer vibe!
Song Recommendation: Motion Party (Remix) - BossMan Dlow ft. Megan Thee Stallion
Podcasts: Giggly Squad
Hannah and Paige are New York girlies so of course they are talking about the Knicks. They are discussing the whimsy and vibe change in the city because of a basketball team! I have FOMO! Give Minnesota a championship. The people of New York are so happy and I want to feel that energy for my sports team.
Television: The Bear (Season 2)
I have finished Season 2 of the Bear (I’m behind but making my way through)! The family Christmas episode. That is all. I’m not sure why I choose to watch this show that is oh so stressful but it is also oh so good.
Movies:
Yes, I cried! Noah Kahan, the man that you are. To any Noah Kahan fans, I would highly recommend watching this. It gives a better understanding of him and his music. I never thought I would be comparing Noah Kahan and Charli XCX but both of them seem to have a similar issue of having a massively successful album and having a difficult time moving on. But Noah baby, The Great Divide blew me away.
O: OBSESSED
General: Vince Camuto
Divas…. these $250 boots are 75% off. Boots are not the shoes of the summer but best believe I will be rocking these once fall comes around. I have had these on my wish list for awhile. My friend has them and they are gorgeous. They also are for the wide calf girlies. I am so excited.
Pop Culture: Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater
Apparently the break up of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater is new news? I thought they broke up forever ago but apparently they “quietly” broke up a couple of months ago. There was no one on planet Earth besides maybe Ethan himself that thought there was any longevity potential to this relationship.
R: RECOMMEND: Activity Books
I feel like a kid on summer break getting some fun summer activities! If you want to have some less screen time this summer, grab an activity book. I have not recovered from NYT taking away my crossword puzzle from the app so I had to resort to a book. If I’m being honest, the easy title is very deceptive and I am still on the first crossword.
T: TREAT: Pride Treats
It’s PRIDE MONTH Yappers! Happy Pride month to all the LGBTQ+ divas! I had this fabulous pride themed treat at Coffee Fellows that came with a sticker. The sticker truly won me over. But I will still give a shoutout to my delicious Matcha that tasted like fruity pebbles.
SAUCY TAKE OF THE WEEK: Do Your Own Research
I’m judging you if you say that you “do your own research.” And not because I’m judging a scientist! That’s actually the problem! No one saying this is a genuine scientist. They are people that feel they know more than science. That is concerning to me! What research are you conducting on your own? What peer reviewed journals are you reading? Exactly! Get into the lab and off of Truth Social if you want to do your own research! “Do your own research” is code for find articles that confirm your bias. Anyone can write anything on the internet babes! I mean look at this newsletter!
YAPPY HOUR: Powerful Periods
Women are so powerful. We all know this. But even our bodies are so powerful! Periods, they suck, yes. But I have realized my periods are more telling than the Tarot card readers on TikTok (although I love when they feed my delusions). TWICE - I have had an extremely late period (a month or longer) leading up to a man dumping me! My period and body knew before I knew. I have got to start listening to that diva.
