In a true throw-back classic episode from last year: Make sure to double-knot your shoes because we’re running through a bunch of activewear brands, morning baths, kale phones, butter money, and COTC (corn on the cob, clearly).

You can read more about Vuori’s lore in Courier (and try out their Pose fitted polo, Daydream drew, and All the Feels bra for yourself). Other workout wear of interest: Splits59 (specifically their Raquel flared leggings), Wilson (how ‘bout these Wynne pleated pants and the pleated court short?), Tracksmith ( their Article One running sunglasses collab!), District Vision, Satisfy, On, Tory Sport, and Sweaty Betty. Curious about cool sports stores? We’ve heard good things about Distance in Paris, we love FrontRunners in L.A., and we have to hand it to Pete Carlson Golf and Tennis in Palm Desert for going *deep*.

The everything shower! Consider this reel from The Everygirl your primer.

If you’re looking to limit your oblivion time, check out the OneSec app…or consider the cocaine/kale phone, via George Mack by way of Trung Phan. Also, the to-google notepad, ℅ Courtney Martin.

Butter sculpture season, our Bama Rush? A great read: "The Secret Feminist History of Butter Cows” by Lyz Lenz.

What activewear brands do you like, how do you morning bath if you do such a thing?! Share with us at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com, or @athingortwohq—or join our Geneva!

First things first: You won’t get sick from touching a bag of S’noods ! We’re also coming at you with custard oatmeal, holiday mash-ups, and the many sides of the TikTok creator fund. We have a lot of thoughts about S’noods , their origins, and the sweet kugel flavor . Custard oatmeal is the new breakfast of champs around here. Erica’s recipe is from Life Around the Table , but there are a lot of fancier versions still . The Minnesota Zoo and Anchorage Bird Rescue also got in on the fun of ex-centric V-day fundraising. A follow-up on produce drawer cold remedies, @dr.beachgem10 has thoughts. We found some comfort in Sarah Eckel’s "How I’m Staying Sane" installment of her Substack It’s Not Us .

We have some denim thoughts we can’t bottle up anymore! Also: cookies, curse words, and no-polish confidence. Here we go. Irene from the Real World made a great TikTok about sitting jeans vs. standing jeans. Shoutout to The Consistency Project for helping us find vintage denim that fits and Jane on Jeans for endless intel—the place for denim discourse. The limited-edition Tate's White Chocolate Raspberry cookies ? So good! These little wooden mushroom nutcrackers + shelled walnuts = a nice pre-dinner snack-slash-activity. We are hacking ourselves out of Google AI by adding curse words to our searches . What corners of TikTok are grabbing your attention?

Coming to you live from the couch! We have a batch of miscellaneous updates for you, from Julius and Tree Paine fanfic to food trends, cute and otherwise. Cutie news! Hello Kitty + Miffy statues have shown up at 17 State St. in NYC, and we’re excited to see these two powerhouses partner in this way. We are captivated by the very elaborate Fluffy Algodón Cotton Candy Art and floof cotton candy cakes . Also! Rebecca Jennings’s story on “pick me” foods for Vox is an incredibly interesting piece about how food trends change, and it brought some great memes to our attention. Speaking of meme accounts: We suggest taking a peek at Assistants vs. Agents on Instagram and their Hollywood Agent Awards specifically. What celeb content are you fanfic-ing?

Also, onions are approaching A Moment in untraditional formats (as in, on feet?)? Keith Haring helps us define cutie eyes—shoutout to Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring by Brad Gooch —and even if you can’t make it to Luna Luna, check out the original posters and merch .

In the throes of everything 2025 is throwing at us, we’re discussing how we approach wellness and the small things we do to take care of ourselves (at least a little bit!!!). Major thanks to OSEA for bringing us this episode—10% off your first order with the code ATHINGORTWO! Can we start with some praise for OSEA’s Undaria Algae Body Butter ?

Claire is also exercising with Cam, opting for phone calls over Zooms, going on “do not disturb” more often, making lunchbox drawings, and watching TV on her phone while doing other things. Erica’s getting an actual desk setup , eating a fulfilling lunch (shoutout to Chris Gayomali’s Heavies Substack about soup ), revisiting her five-year journal, maintaining a saved sentence archive practice, and having high-end fun and heavy snacks.

Call it a classic grab bag from this time last year! Please note that we are still in the market for your Notes App intel… Gained some wisdom from @OlsenOracle , a perfect fan account (that is maybe even Olsen approved ???). We’re having a Marcella Hazan moment, thanks to, as Food & Wine put it her “radical simplicity.” Some recipes we’ve been cooking: THE tomato, onion, and butter sauce , grilled fish romagna style , pesto , rice and smothered cabbage soup , and chimney sweep’s gelato . Speaking of cooking, we must discuss this Julia Child gas stove story by Rebecca Leber for Vox , which pairs well with “How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves,” which she wrote for Mother Jones. Your Notes Apping!! See: this packing-list revelation from@rileejsmith (um, the template ). We also love this TikTok from @kiramackenz . What weird things are you up to in the Notes App?

Crowd Favorite: Alison Roman’s Thingies and One Last Kid Gifting Idea 38:16

منذ 11 weeks38:16

In a rerun of an *absolute hit* episode from last holiday season, we’re talkin’ Thingies with Alison Roman, the woman behind a SLEW of recipes we cook all the dang time. We know you know her, but JIC, she’s the author of NYT bestselling—and gifty!—cookbooks Sweet Enough, Nothing Fancy , and Dining In , she doles out the most delightful kitchen content in A Newsletter and on her Home Movies YouTube channel, and she delivers guidance of all kinds on her Solicited Advice podcast. In essence: She’s full of thoughts, and we want them all. First things first, what we would bring to a pilot kid-gift swap (thx, Leslie!): Spirograph , Yellow Owl Workshop DIY Pin & Flair Kit , Bastien Contraire Stencil Kit , Majo Ideas Art Pack , and Pop Tubes . Alison’s tabletop Thingies include beeswax candles (try Greentree Home Candle —maybe in the sangria color?!), candle holders *in general* (e.g., this Sophie Lou Jacobson one ), and interesting serving platters including Bordallo Pinheiro's . For the bod, she loves using Laneige’s lip mask as lip balm, and Davines’s Vegetarian Miracle Mask for her hair. On the food front, how about chopped fermented chilies—use them to make her Brothy Chickpeas with Calabrian Chili (and/or these chickpeas )—and, for dessert, Kolsvart gummies . Share your Thingies with us at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com , and @athingortwohq , or drop them in our Geneva ! YAY.…

Welcome to Article Club! A few that require our attention this week span topics from an important anniversary to management tips to recommendation culture. Now off to go eat a personal pan pizza… Is it an overstatement to say that Book It! is one of our generation’s premier cultural references?
