That’s how I feel too. They have all got to be sponsored. I feel the same about Allure’s Best of Beauty too. Trust no one.

This is exactly it. I work in PR. We pay her, Ellen, all those middle class white women friendly proto-influencers a shit ton of money to announce favorite things and giveaways. Many of them have to approve it first, but seriously, tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars are going to this.

I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t like it and doesn’t get it as this soothing beverage. 

Cumberland Bandersnatch is adjacent to being correct; I don’t care if chamomile is considered tea or not but it is gross.

this is BLOWING MY MIND. I’ve encountered the term “tisane” a lot of times (100% of them were in the context of a Poirot novel or story) but always for some reason assumed it was some gross, syrupy, creme-de-menthe-type drink. probably because the Englishmen around Poirot always react with Cumberbatchian levels of stif…

That would be super cute! I’m eyeing the jumpsuit for travel and trying to decide if it leans more towards “cozy and chic” or “crazy person in a cult”.

I really want that velour hoodie. Like, really. I’ve been traveling back and forth with my mom for cancer treatment in Houston and damn if that wouldn’t be a perfect hospital outfit with leggings and booties.

Now I’ll be pedantic: the Boston Tea Party was before the Declaration and those dudes were protesting the suppression of their rights as British citizens. 

I wish they would do the Neiman Marcus catalog, too.

I’m 1lso very much looking forward to the yarly William Sonoma takedown. Always a riot.

Oprah must be getting paid to promote these. I mean, I've always thought so (except maybe the first year) because how do her many favorite things change every year? But ok there is a 0% chance that her favorite mixed flavor popcorn tin isn't from Garrett's. 

I saw a tweet recently referring to chamomile tea as “hot hay water” and now I shall never think of it as anything else.

Mocking Oprah’s favorite things is one of the best holiday traditions, but I always secretly want everything on the list. Eating a key lime bundt cake while snuggled up in one of those squishy blankets sounds pretty fantastic right now.

im thinking the main difference is that you americans didnt throw a whole bunch of camomile into the sea:p

I’ve always thought of WI as my adopted state (since I spent a lot of my childhood there, a lot of time there now, and don’t exactly love Illinois), so it’s always been extra depressing to me to walk by Scott Walker lawn signs and whatnot.

Counterpoint: Tisanes are most commonly known as “herbal teas.” They may not come from tea leaves, but they are the same type of product, and that’s just how language naturally develops.

Yea, they both seem to be handling it really well. They are both using it for their comedy/music, but nothing they say is shade on the other. Considering some of the shit we’ve seen other celebrities and even regular people put out there, this is good. 

“I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is, it’s nobody’s business. Sometimes things just don’t work out, and that’s OK. She’s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.”

I voted to get rid of Rauner. It was a good night for us both!

Fuck yeah, man. I love Wisconsin (I spend a lot of time there) and it has always embarrassed/angered me to no end that that dude had a job.
