What. A. Week. The vibes have been low in Casa de Chapman, especially after recent current events. Perhaps you’re feeling the same way too. So, for today’s installment of The Weekend Edition, I decided to compile a list of some feel-good recs in hopes that it will brighten your mood as we head into the weekend. Enjoy and take care my friends. xx

📺 Gilmore Girls on Netflix – is a dramedy centering around the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), a thirty-something single mother, and her bookish teenage daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel) and their lives in the picturesque but quirky small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Gilmore Girls is my favorite show of all time! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched the show, especially seasons 2-5. The writing is sharp, the setting is charming (and very autumnal), and the characters are so quirky and lovable (Yes, even Emily. I LOVE her).

🎧 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – is a coming-of-age novel that follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood. I’m ashamed to admit I don’t read too many classics, so it took me years to finally pick up Little Women despite hearing it referenced all the time in English classes. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard people say how they longed to be Jo but realized they were actually just Beth. Now I actually understand what they were talking about–also, it turns out I am a Beth but more on that in a sec! If you are intimidated by the classics and the size of the book (she thick), then I highly recommend listening to it on audio. Overall, the book is super cozy and comforting. It touches on multiple themes, but especially on sisterhood, true love, and discovering your true identity in the world.

🤔 “Which Character Are You” Personality Quiz – Who doesn’t love a which character are you quiz? They are so much fun! This one seems a little more legit than a Buzzfeed quiz, so I feel like the results are more accurate, lol. According to my results, I’m a Beth March; we are 90% alike. I’m also similar to…

• Penny (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog): 90% –I’ve never seen this
• Pam Beesly (The Office): 89% –seems quite fitting since I work as a receptionist in an office
• Hilda Spellman (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina): 89% –Again, I’ve never seen this
• Andrea Sachs (The Devil Wears Prada): 89% –What an honor. I love that character and movie so much!

▶️ Anne Hathaway Breaks Down 11 Looks on Vogue – Anne Hathaway is iconic. When I think back to my favorite movies growing up, there’s a 99% chance it stared Anne Hathaway. This woman has raised an entire generation of millennials with her work.
