Happy (almost) weekend. As a New York transplant from Georgia, my tolerance for seemingly endless freezing temps is basically nonexistent. But I’m not letting the weather derail my 2026 goals, so here’s what I’ll be up to this weekend:

• I’ll kick off my mornings with strength training, which studies have shown has major health benefits for women. I’m new to weight lifting, so I used the Peloton App to build a personalized workout plan. (Shout-out to Callie Gullickson’s 20-minute Glutes & Legs Strength class. I’m still sore.)

• I’ll head to a nearby coffee shop with a friend, for some parallel reading. We’ll catch up over lattes, but I also want to make progress on Yasmin Zaher’s The Coin — about a woman in a Birkin bag pyramid scheme. A review called it “glamorous and unhinged,” which is exactly my speed.

• I’ll see some friends perform stand-up in Brooklyn (they came to my show last week, so fair’s fair). Yes, I’m biased, but there’s truly nothing better than a night of live comedy. Though watching one of these new specials comes close — the fourth is the best I’ve seen in a while.

• Finally, I’ll catch up on The Pitt and The Traitors. My snack of choice? Swedish candy — and no one does it better than this viral brand.
