Issue #10: Cuddle up to this goodness
If you’re in the States, you’re probably feeling some totally bonkers arctic air right now (it’s -10 here this morning), so I’m dedicating today’s newsletter to a lot of warmth, coziness and snacking. We need it.
Skip down to get the details on this blanket that I’m obsessed with.
Smile-inducing:
In France, there’s a group called the Garden Gnome Liberation Front. The group steals garden gnomes with the goal of "freeing" them and "returning them to the wild."
A homeless mother left a note with her dog for whoever found her. An animal shelter reunited them.
A TikTok food reviewer helped a struggling food truck make $30k. In a single day!
How did this monkey get pregnant by herself? Science digs deep, friends. Thanks to Ilya for sending this one in!

Eye-opening:
Whales feed their babies milk. And that milk is so thick and concentrated that it has the consistency of toothpaste.
Actually, croissants aren’t even French. They’re Austrian and were originally a pastry-based display of victory over Turkish forces, who waved crescent-adorned flags.
What I’m loving right now:
This giant throw blanket is big enough for the whole fam. It promises fight-free cuddling thanks to literally 100 square feet of cozy-soft blanket material. You need one. It’s a delight. Pictured at the top of this newsletter!
I wrote a list of the best fish smokers on the market. If you’re a little outdoorsy and/or into smoked fish, this’ll serve you well.
This popcorn. If you’re into microwave popcorn and light, easy snacks… holy macaroni, this game-changing bowl and flavor-wrapped kernels experience the upgrade of a lifetime. Buy the magic microwave bowl (it’s cheap-ish), and then use whatever flavor of popcorn you want. Not sponsored. I just love it and use it at least twice a week. SO EASY TO CLEAN. The Valentine’s Day bundle looks super cute, too.
