With Girls back in the headlines, let’s settle this once and for all: Who is the show’s most irredeemable character?

Happy (almost) weekend. Blame it on getting older, but lately, I’ve been taking advantage of any opportunity that comes my way. So when Red Bull offered two GA passes for Coachella this weekend, it was an immediate yes. Of course, doing the festival as a full-grown adult looks a little different, and I have the prep and planning to prove it. Here’s everything that’ll help get me through:
To balance what’ll inevitably be a lot of festival food and energy drinks (especially my new favorite flavor, which tastes just like Haribo Peaches), I’ve been eating all the greens. I meal-prepped this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad at the start of the week, and it’s so light and fresh, I’m already planning round two for when I’m back.
I’ll break in the latest addition to my luggage collection: This Dagne Dover duffle bag. The embroidered paisley print feels both trendy and timeless, and it fits exactly what I need for a weekend in the desert. That includes a very good moisturizer to combat the dry heat (I firmly believe there’s nothing better than this Dieux one) and my go-to fragrance from Serviette. If you haven’t heard of the NYC-based brand, you’re welcome.
After dancing the day (and night) away, I’ll need to decompress. Thankfully, I still have the season finale of DTF St. Louis to watch. Don’t let the name fool you — the HBO dark comedy series isn’t what you think, and it might be Linda Cardellini’s best work yet, which after Dead to Me, is saying something.
I’ll finish reading Coco Mellors’s Blue Sisters. It’s a sharp look at sisterhood, addiction, and how women carry grief — and it’s set in NYC, so I’ve already spent half the book imagining the characters wandering around my favorite spots.
