The Best of 2020

2020 is coming to a close and we are not going to let this year end on a negative note. There were really some great things about this year (politics and pandemics aside, of course). In this episode we talk about our biggest professional and personal accomplishments this year and all of our favorite purchases. We reminisce about our favorite episodes of the pod this year, our favorite books, clothing and beauty purchases and all of our favorite ways that we self-cared our way through 2020.   Grace’s Post: I don’t want kids … and that’s okay!    Best Overall Purchase of 2020: Grace’s Dining Chairs - Vintage Marcel Breuer Cesca Chairs via 1st Dibs Brightland Olive Oil Fridge Lazy Susan The SoulCycle Bike   Favorite Clothing Purchases of 2020: Pandemic Pants from Old Navy Aerie corded oversized sweatshirt (Quarter zip version; original is sold out) Eileen Fisher Tunic Sweaters Ralph Lauren Blazer Vuori Joggers Amazon Fleece   Favorite Beauty Purchases of 2020: Dr. Bader Face Cream San Tropez Self Tanner Prose: prose.com/BOP Ilia Mascara Saie Mascara   Favorite Home Goods of 2020: The air-fryer   Favorite Books of 2020:   Grace: One to Watch by Kate Stayman - London The Chiffon Trenches by Andre Leon Talley Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennet The Last Flight by Julie Clark The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead Becca: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi One to Watch by Kate Stayman - London The Boys’ Club by Erica Katz Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J.
