Have a Restful Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? Toby and I have been watching Friends, and we are right at the London wedding episode. I remember watching it in college and shrieking! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

The new series North of North looks great.
The boys and I are getting more into cooking, and can’t wait to test out this fun cookbook.

An easy way to dress up your everyday ponytail.
Plus, two reader comments:
Says Laura on how to be a neighborhood aunt, teenage version: “My mom was never excited about clothes shopping. She said it because she had to spend her formative years in a maroon Catholic school uniform. But one of her friends and colleagues, Nikki, was the coolest, most stylish person teen-me had ever encountered. When Nikki offered to take me back-to-school shopping, my mom was happy to hand over some cash and send us off to the outlet mall. It felt like the most glamorous day, and I still cherish it 25 years later.”
Says Jasmine on two ways to chai: “As a desi kid who has grown up in America, I was thrilled to see today’s topic! Each family tends to have their own signature chai recipe, but the joy is in sharing them with each other. As an adult, I love a good black tea, but on cold or rainy days, there’s nothing like a warm cup of chai to soothe the soul.”
