Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T: January 1-7, 2024
Alison Pegg
Scrolling through TikTok has become my favourite social media distraction, I’ve picked up new recipes, found new outfit inspos, learned new makeup hacks, and laughed like a hyena at all of the funny pet videos. Late last year, a creator came across my FYP with a post chronicling things that inspired her and I loved how simple the format was. Called Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T, it shared the following:
R = Reading
E = Eating
P = Playing
O = Obsessing
R = Recommending
T = Treating
We’ll see how consistent I am with these weekly recaps, LOL. But without further ado, here’s my Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T for the first week of January.
Reading
Given the hoopla and mayhem around the Target Stanley cup release, this article from Inc was perfectly timed from Inc Magazine.
Eating
Cabbage Roll Casserole (Eating Well)
The first time we made this casserole for family dinner, it didn’t sound like it was going to be something we’d like. Happy to be proven wrong, this casserole is full of flavour and is perfect for winter cabbage season (and your wallet). Bonus: it makes a ton, too.
Playing
A return to office this week meant a return to my regular NYT games. And now that I’ve downloaded the app on my phone, perhaps I’ll be streaking into the weekend.
Obsessing
Franco Sarto Ticada Knee High Silver Boots (Nordstrom)
I really should avoid stopping through the Nordstrom shoe department. During a quick return last week, I saw these on the sale rack and quickly became obsessed. I do not need them. But I do love the idea of these peeking out under midi and maxi dresses all winter long.
Recommending
Moulin Rouge! The Musical (Broadway in Columbus)
The songs. The visuals. The charisma. Moulin Rouge was fabulous. The show grabs and holds you for well over two hours, and the finale will have you on your feet cheering with the rest of the audience. It runs another week at the Ohio Theatre.
Treating
Legami Milano Erasable Pens (purchased at Papersource)
New year, new planner pens? I love a slim gel based pen, but what I love even more is a slim gel based pen with personality. This are so freakin’ adorable and bring me so much joy, and did I mention they’re erasable?
