Girl World #6: Lovers Not Fighters, Wicked, Gilmore Girls, Beauty Advent Calendars, Swimsuit Models + Politics, Asking Dumb Questions

Let’s just start this off with the great news that “Nobody Wants This” was renewed for Season 2—because everyone wants this. The obsession and virality of this show is further evidence that the dating scene isn’t working. Women know men like Adam Brody’s Noah exists IRL—but we’re all asking where they’re at. Seriously though. DM us and let us know. Taking golf lessons next year is already on our list. 

How crazy is it that two government officials are in a “spat” over “Emily in Paris?” Pop culture and entertainment are often considered frivolous, but they actually influence our lives way more than we think. We know Emily in Paris isn’t real, but can we have a little bit more marketing realism, please? Thank you from every marketing girlie everywhere. 

The Time Next100 Gala Red Carpet had some amazing fashion. Enjoy the looks here. We need invites so we can wear our fancy outfits. 

💌 The Weekly 6

1. Vice President Kamala Harris’ digital Vogue cover and feature story is a must-read.

6. Being alone and lonely are not the same thing. Let’s explore the beauty of being alone.

🤩 Women to Watch

We love Congresswoman Jasmine Crocket from Dallas: She “has amassed growing recognition by introducing the art of the masterful clap back to a Democratic Party that hasn’t always been known for its quick repartee.”

Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow shared the same exact advice as their key to success.

💪 Women’s Health + Wellness

If shrinkflation didn’t happen to tampons like so many women on social media are claiming, then what’s going on? Women know all too well that gaslighting women and their health is common practice.

✌️ What We’re Doing This Weekend

We’re still thinking about “Tell Us Lies” Season 2, Episode 7. There’s so much to unpack that we may need to watch it again and then head over to TikTok where the real discussion is happening. We’re also digging into the new Taylor Swift Style: Fashions Through the Eras book, which was released this week. Fashion, Taylor, Reading—what more could Girl World ask for?

A new movie is out today on Netflix: Lonely Planet starring Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth. It’s categorized as a romantic drama (not a rom com—or it is?), and we’ve already added to our watch list. Of course, we’re headed to the theater to see the Saturday Night movie, which is out today—the actual 25th anniversary of the premiere.

Now that the weather has cooled off, weekend baking projects are emerging. These apple spice muffins are on deck for the weekend along with this healthier pumpkin chili and savory acorn squash. We’re headed to get our pumpkins for pumpkin carving this weekend too—’tis the season!

How’s your Fall Bucket List coming along? This is your friendly reminder to check something off this weekend.
