goop - Five beauty resolutions for 2020. I was trying to pick my favorite but they’re all #goals. Going completely clean has been a priority of mine since I had Harrison and I’m always trying to improve. From my skincare to our laundry detergent, to tea bags (!), there is always something:) I always say do the best you can and most importantly try to reduce plastics. This is the soap we have now at our sinks (including the kitchen).

The New York Times - As a condition of her settlement, Gretchen Carlson signed an NDA and has since been silenced from speaking about the details of what happened to her. Before Carlson courageously filed her sexual harassment complaint against Roger Ailes, there was no #metoo movement. She never imagined her story would be turned into a motion picture - Bombshell starring three of Hollywood’s leading actresses. I was shocked when I learned that Gretchen was legally bound from contributing to this film or any others telling her story. Read her opinion piece on why she should be released from her NDA.

Newsweek - Illinois will require insurers to cover diagnostic mammogram follow-ups to initial screenings in 2020. This is an important step in the fight against breast cancer as early detection is key in defeating the disease. When I had a scare last month my initial basic mammogram wasn’t enough and the doctor ordered a 3D mammogram as well as a sonogram. I was told that the 3D mammogram would be an extra out of pocket fee and that neither would likely be covered. I can’t imagine not being able to afford the additional testing and worse, making the decision to not get it because of money.

ELLE - How to spend New Year’s 2020 based on your sign. Mine (Libra) made me laugh because its too accurate - mothering, being present, and a vegan dinner, and some self-care. There is really something to be said for this astrological stuff!

watch - Netflix’s new releases coming in January 2020. We are actually on our way to cancelling “classic cable” in our house. The prices have skyrocketed in the last year and I refuse to pay $250/month for TV and internet in addition to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and now Disney. Wow writing that out really makes it sound even more ridiculous!

read - The best books of 2019 - 35 to be exact. I don’t read books…its TERRIBLE. Honestly, I hate that about myself and I really wish I liked reading, but I don’t. I’ve tried so many times…ordered books people suggested, listened to book podcasts, I get distracted, fall asleep,

recipe - Easy slow-cooker rice pudding. A winter staple in the Korkidis house. My boys love it with raisins and a little cinnamon. I sub the dairy milk for a almond or oat milk.

sneaker - Not a fan of the maxi sole sneaker trend? Well here’s a pair that will give you the look without going all the way. Love the olive color for now and into ahem…Spring.
