Today I’m debuting a new series, “The Dolly Half-Dozen.” Essentially, it’s a way for me to round up some of my favorite links and showcase them in a more interesting way than just tacking them onto the end of my Friday post. (Especially now that those posts are changing. Are you liking the idea of Friday Rewind?)
Admittedly, this series is still a work in progress. See, I was originally thinking I’d call it “The Dolly Dozen” and would share 12 links. Moving forward, I may go back to that idea, but I didn’t want to sit on these links while I deliberated between a dozen and a half-dozen.
Anyway.
Heather’s strawberry popsicles have a secret ingredient.
The six major anxieties of social media, including Instagram FOMO and “Pinspirational” inferiority complexes.
They say this scientific 7-minute workout is brutal but effective. (Would you try it?)
Social media has its problems, but it can also help you feel less lonely. (via @alliepal)
I’m suddenly inspired to wear bold blue eyeliner.
When a doughnut and a croissant have a baby, the offspring is called a cronut. (Only in New York!)
Bonus link! Multitasking and creativity
(Psst… What do you think? Six or 12 links next time?)
Yay for circles! You figured it out!
(and thanks for changing the orientation 😉 )
It was a team effort! Plus my husband had to teach me how to get them evenly spaced 🙂
Oh, I’m totally going to try that 7 minute workout! I’m all about efficiency, even if it means seven minutes of hell each day. 🙂 P.S. Six seems just right – a dozen might feel a little overwhelming, I think. I’d probably pick and choose more, whereas with these I could visit them all!
Seven minutes of hell is totally what I thought — but beats a full half-hour or hour lifting weights, right?
Glad to know that you prefer six!
Great links and I agree that six feels just right!
Thanks, Heather! I’m definitely leaning towards 6 links.
Love everything about this! And I’m “team half dozen” too (I get overwhelmed easily…). And no less than 3 friends sent me the link to the cronut piece the second it hit. It’s at one of my fave bakeries in New York so I will be headed there soon to do some much-needed research.
Hey – you’re coming to Alt NYC, yes? Cronuts and cocktails one night if you have time? xo
Yes, I’ll be at ALT NYC — will you? Regardless, we should definitely meet for cronuts and coffee! I’ll actually be in NYC (or nearby NJ) that whole week. Hope to see you!
Would love that! Let me know when you’re free – I’m close to the city!
