We blend the excitement of sports highlights with strategies to tackle those existential crises that pop up in our everyday lives. Share with your family & friends.

K8 & GINK

The sisters known as the Internet! 👯‍♀️

K8 and I are notorious for our storybook adventures that seem surreal.

One of my favorite chapters to tell involves someone very near and dear to our hearts that we met over a decade ago.

Before I got my first apartment in Michigan, I lived with Aunt Jenny, and I really wanted K8 to visit. She did, along with a friend. This friend wanted to go to Chicago, so we all hopped in the car & stole a case of Vernors from Aunt Jenny for the trip.

When we arrived, we chilled with some of the A$AP mob in the studio and watched Ferg record his album, Trap Lord. Pretty cool experience to see how an album is made but we were super tired.

That’s where we met Nascent, a mathematical producer wizard, who happened to grow up (not too soon) to “be hollywood” and win Grammys.

A$AP paused the studio session to go to a club, and we jumped in the car with this random guy we just met, Nascent. He proceeded to point out all the crime spots on the way, and we realized we both worked with Asaad, instantly becoming besties.

Hola Nascent! It's been 11 years, buddy. Your free trial has officially expired. If you want to keep up this bestie status, hangout on Cinco De Mayo – and we're expecting some sort of financial compensation for all the emotional support we've provided over the years! 💙

Happy album release month!

Everyone is about to be recalled.

SMALL WINS

Let’s dive into the *~magic~*!

In a world that's all about the big moments, it's time to give props to the small wins—like finally nailing that thing you put off & it only taking 5 minutes, catching a breather mid-chaos or hustling through a workout when you'd rather binge, Alex Rider. They might not make an impact, but these wins? They're the rizz to leveling up. So, let’s celebrate our accomplishments and manifest for the week ahead. 

  • Joon finished the book he was reading

  • Ashley took herself on a solo lunch date

  • Patrick added an old design project to his portfolio

  • Maggie took a fashion risk & wore patterned pants

  • Chelsea saw a Cybertruck

  • Gink went to Barnes & Noble and didn’t impulse buy

  • K8 & Pedicano had a lil b/r reunion @ 23Skiddoo & another b/r alum was there [hi brian]

We’re still obsessing over DJ Burns Jr.

DJ Burns Jr. #30 wears the Harden 8 ‘Luxury Green’

@jackmacbarstool

DJ Burns really may be the goat

& It’s a bonus he stans James Harden like we do. Fun fact: Harden has his own wine brand, J-Harden, that we highly recommend you try. Gink exclusively drinks that along with the "cow sweater" Malbec, Tussock Jumper, which you can only buy in New York Penn Station.

INTERNET GEMS
